* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: How society works in the unOrdinary world.

* BookDumb: John is not a terrible student (mainly in the B and C range) but comes off as this in comparison to the higher ranked students due to his constant struggles with schoolwork. In the past, it is shown that when he puts in the effort, he can get an A with Seraphina's help.

** God-tiers vs everyone else.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: John, when he noticed that ''someone'' was following him and Seraphina after going to the mall.

** SuperSpeed: Wenqi.

* PowersDoTheFighting: The way certain characters, like Rein and Arlo, tend to use their high-level powers.
* PowerLevels: Stated in-universe to range from 0 to 10. There's even a guy who charges people to see what their power level is and gifts them a prize if it's high enough.

** In the high-tier category is the sub-category, [[PhysicalGod God-tier]]. With a power level of 6+ these guys are feared by all and are said to be impossible to defeat by those outside of the God-tier. And if you haven't forgotten, Seraphina has a power level of 8.

* SuperpowerLottery: Some characters won and won big: as a high-tier, with a power level of 8, Seraphina is leagues above everyone with a power that seems to involve [[TimeMaster manipulation of time]]. In comparison, the average ability user is has a power level of 3.

** [[spoiler:John while using his powers to defeat half of his classmates at his old school.]]

* TheReasonYouSuck: [[spoiler: Claire]] gives one to [[spoiler: John]] after the later beats up half their class in a [[CurbStompBattle curbstomp battle]].

* ShockAndAwe: Remi and her older brother Rei.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler: John usually gels his hair before attending school. After suffering through a considerable amount of bullying day-after-day, John gradually returns to his former wild hairstyle.]]

* TheWorfEffect: The differences in power levels make a considerable difference in terms of fight outcomes. Those that are higher tier are able to effortlessly deal with lower opponents that John gets injured by.

* BrokenAce: Played with. Before Seraphina met John, she was indisputably the top student in school in abilities, academics and reputation. However, this came with a greater deal of pressure and judgment from her peers. In the present story, Seraphina's peers in Wellston see her as this since she started hanging around with John and no longer caring too much about her grades or reputation. However, Seraphina feels a lot better about herself than she did before.

* BookDumb: John is not a terrible student(mainly in the B and C range) but comes off as this in comparison to the higher ranked students due to his constant struggles with schoolwork. In the past, it is shown that when he puts in the effort, he can get an A with Seraphina's help.

* CowardlyLion: John shows shades of this in early chapters. {{Justified}} in that he's facing ability users everyday and getting sent to the infirmary which makes him somewhat reluctant to engage unless absolutely necessary. [[spoiler: As the series goes on, he sheds this.]].

* {{Foil}}:
** John and Seraphina are on opposite ends of the power spectrum and in terms of academic ability. Despite their differences in power, it is John who comes off as more independent whereas Seraphina was constrained by the expectations others had of her.

* MeaningfulName: As a normal in a school full of superpowered students, John Doe is particularly fitting.

** MoralityChain: [[spoiler: Seraphina functions as this to John. When she is suspsended, John gradually becomes more violent and spiteful towards his peers due to the increased bullying.]]

* NervesOfSteel: One of the reasons Arlo takes an interest in John is his seemingly complete lack of fear of high tiers despite having no power.

** Despite being on opposite sides of the power spectrum, neither John nor Seraphina seemed to be able to escape judgment and criticism from their peers. It was partly for this reason that they eventually became friends.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Implied with Remi. Despite being one of the higher tier students, she has so far not acted antagonistic towards John compared to her peers even when [[spoiler: John lashes out at her on impulse.]].

* BookDumb: John is not a terrible student(mainly in the B and C range) but comes off as this in comparison to the higher ranked students. In the past, it is shown that when he puts in the effort, he can get an A with Seraphina's help.

* DeusExitMachina: [[spoiler: Seraphina is suspended from school partway through the story. Most students consider her the strongest in school and is one of the reasons why John's bullying hasn't been worse.]]

** John is introduced as your average student who is bored with his class. When he witnesses a fight between two power users, his initial thoughts are to just ignore it when things get too chaotic. However, when he sees another fight with a student getting brutalized by another one, he doesn't hesitate to get involved.

** Elaine. When John joins the class, she is initially amicable. As soon as she finds out that that John has no ability, her personality does a complete 180 and she reacts with complete disgust from having wasted her time talking to him.

* OnlyFriend: Seraphina to John.

* ComesGreatResponsibility: A major ideal of the story and one which John is an advocate of. He wishes that those with powers would use them to protect the weak rather than to oppress them.

John would rather live out his high school days in peace. As a cripple, he's a common target for his superpowered peers. Coupled with the fact that he cannot seem to ignore those who are bullied, his school life is something he can't seem to escape from unscathed. Nevertheless, he carries some hope that people could eventually use their powers to help others.

* BrokenAce: Played with. Seraphina's peers in Wellston see her as this since she started hanging around with John and no longer caring too much about her grades or reputation. However, Seraphina feels a lot better about herself than she did before.

* BadassNormal: Despite his lack of powers, John manages to hold his own against some ability users in a fight. Deconstructed in that defending himself against an ability user is dangerous and gives him considerable injuries, requiring frequent visits to the infirmary.

* {{Jerkass}}: Arlo, so much so that the fandom have affectionately nicknamed him "Asslo".

* BrokenAce: Played with/Averted. Her peers in Wellston see her as this since she started hanging around with John and no longer caring too much about her grades or reputation. However, Seraphina feels a lot better about herself than she did before.

''The world is not perfect. Learning to deal with its flaws is just a normal part of life. But there comes a point where these imperfections spawn a crushing realization... that something needs to change...''
