The gender plot point is just plain stupid. The men’s competition is magic-free flag football, sans ball? Then the magic duels are separated by gender? They’re arbitrarily not giving a rival fight, something that might actually generate interest, and using the stupidest reasons for it.
I guess I shouldn’t expect better given the premise, but come on.

Well tbh I feel like this is an end of school festival disguised as a contest, essentially a sports fair where ladies don't use elegant and refined magic while bots wrestle.
Essentially the opposite of what half of schools do now for senior sport days with buff puff and powder puff
alves looks disappointed... also are he and nunnaly endgame or nah??? is there a romance tag, i forgot... i just want her to go be a receptionist though, negl. i want her to fulfill her dream, though apparently she didn't have to work as hard as she did for it, based on alves' reaction?? girl... also what were these contests lmao what
@BanditHadron And yet the male and female competitions are usually roughly equivalent. In this case, the male competition was given an enormously simpler/easier task, and yet that task was given equal weighting to the enormously difficult female task with a huge moral quandary.
This series also demonstrates that, given equal grades, the male is ALWAYS chosen in the tie-breaker. Every single time the female protagonist and the male antagonist get perfect grades, he is ALWAYS given the top spot.
Does this not all seem super sexist to you? That the females are forced to work much harder to achieve the same rewards, and their achievements are given less weight and merit than the males?
