^ and that's someone I don't want to see. Well it depends on the mahou shoujo
but rule of most magic and summoning always ends up in returning in the same time of summon. Screw the time of different world.

It could be that the grades are not arranged by age. They could be grading by strength... remember how they mentioned E, B, A class's?
Let me also preset a reasonable theory on why the majority of those summoned to other worlds would be teenagers.(besides the obvious japanese trope) Obviously they are summoning that person to do something important so you want somebody fit and healthy and furthermore you want somebody who is going to be flexible enough to learn your worlds abilities. You don't want to summon a 80 year old man who would drop dead at the sight of a monster or a toddler who just became a monsters snack. Its been proven that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn so the ideal age is roughly 15-25 years old give or take a few years either way. One final part is that teenagers would be more easier to reach since the majority are restless and always wanting to experience new things or yearning to do SOMETHING with their lives. Its the reason why I find the class rep very intriguing in this series.. she obviously was summoned very young and the fact she is back means she succeeded in whatever task that world needed her for. I wonder what task she was summoned for? I doubt if defeating a Maou is what most are summoned for.. otherwise the numbers coming back would only be a handful. |

Do we have any indications in the story that the summoning is a conscious phenomenon and not a random one? It sounds like viewers believe that the worlds summon the people to perform certain tasks that are needed but is it supported in the show or LN or anything?

Based on the episodes, what I inferred was that there was a gateway between worlds that people could travel from. Whether this is a conscious ability of the gateway or just random luck is unknown although
Spoiler:
The training could simply be because 'hey, I'm in a world with magic. Time to learn it' Unless there are more backstories shown, it's hard to say which it is and whether it's needed for people to go to other worlds for some task.

We have no reason to assume that the journeys to other worlds were significantly different for the other people at Babel than they were for our protagonist, aside from, perhaps, a matter of the scale of the threat. Until we are told otherwise, it seems safe to assume that all of them followed the basic formula of "go to another world, defeat an evil, return home." The whole concept of the story is "what happens after the RPG hero defeats the evil and returns to his own world?" Aside from the fact that Akatsuki defeated a more significant evil than most others, and is subsequently more powerful, there is no reason to assume that everyone's journey didn't involve the same basic RPG premise.

All we know is that all the people got transported to some other world and less than 50% of them find their way back. We have no idea what they do in the other world, Akatsuki became a hero, I think it's too soon to think all of them did the same.
