Exactly! This is just a cliché being played straight! No subversion or parody!.

Your missing the point it's being played straight so far it most probably won't end up being played straight the entire time. Medaka Box spent most of the manga playing cliches straight, and then occasionally twists them in unexpected ways, even this entire rescue arc was something unforseen by the arcs begining.
