Care and passion were not directed towards the students, as almost none of the lectures had proper professors assigned to them, making it extremely difficult for the commoners to reach their full potential.
But there is a silver lining for the Beta Class commoner students (as well as nobles) wanting to make it into the aristocrat-stinking Alpha Class: Hebrion Academy's traditional Ranking Tournament, which also acts as a sort of midterm exam for the students. It starts off with the typical 1-on-1 tournament phase, which slowly dwindles down to the Top 30 students, who would use the academy's specially tailored and crafted Shadow World (which typically would be reserved for evil creatures to envelop their enemies) that's laden as both a survival-of-the-fittest battle royale and a team mission in top of it to avoid that world's catastrophe, which would round up the Top 9 to receive the Single Ranker title, regardless of either commoner or noble status.
You might ask: What has everything above got to do with the characters? This is where the story and plot take their form.
As mentioned, Desir's primary role is to recruit his party members to avoid the exact same catastrophe happening in the new timeline, albeit in their high school form. And the first of which he would meet is the Wind elemental attribute mage of Romantica Eru. She first depicts herself as nobility, having joined the Alpha Class and partnering up with one of the best parties in the academy, but after finding out that everything about her is falsified, Romantica is soon "brought down to Earth" back to the Beta class, where she has become the subject of infamy to both commoners and nobles. That is, until Desir's persistence that she'd come to accept him after rejecting him many times through the persuasion of his time-travel knowledge (that she doesn't know about) and his training to refine her into a capable mage.
The next to come would be the swordsman (or swords-boy, rather) of Pram Schneider, the blue-haired short boy who's perceived to be so cute and adorable that most people mistake him for a girl. How Desir found him is through the ranked tournament and the overly familiar torture of a fight between a noble and a commoner, being the son of a noble father that he'd never met and taken care of by his commoner mother until her passing. To be expected, Pram starts off being the assumed commoner weakling that he is, until Desir picks him up, trains him, and utilises the last gift from the scum of a noble father of a rapier to defeat his opponent, to which he'd lean towards taking care of everyone, even Desir himself, to the point of being a Tsundere-like child for his affection.
