So already their rant/discussion making no sense at all yeah she's absolutely being insane with her rant making grand and ridicilous statements and even trying and failing to get philosophical about it. But then his reply straight up contradicts himself, because earlier we saw there's healing magic, therefor the Magic does contribute to the medical field already at the very least. He's just criticizing, questioning and making little sense just for the sake of it like a childish/12 year-old atheist, her reply again also made no sense, immediately also knew where he was going with that but yes he went there. At least he admits he's just as childish as her which gives some small semblance of hope that the writing of this show won't be complete shit. I get what the writing is going for with the MC, but jeez it doesn't make him any less annoying especially since I feel like the writing is not actually really succeeding at doing the idea of the character justice. Okay so that's how he knows her, he's like... I can't think of the word for it "Disgruntled" though I don't think that's the word I was looking for but it's like "Peter B Parker" except that's that kind of character "done right."
At least the teaching part was pretty decent, as it outlined the problem I personally had with much of school which tends to focus more on memorization than comprehension. Personally unlike most people in order to learn or understand anything I have to comprehend it, if they had comprehended the spell they'd already know everything he was saying and know the answer to his question. But instead they were simply thought to memorize not to fully comprehend how the spell works. His explanation of what magic is, is fine, if that's how it works in this world however his conclusion is a bit silly in the sense that they aren't mutually exclusive. He's saying "I'm right and you're wrong" when there's no reason it couldn't be both. After all figuring out human hearts and the power of words, is absolutely a path to studying the principles of the world. His criticism on the education is accurate though as sadly real life education is often like that, heck that's the whole reason I couldn't learn languages in school despite being good at languages and was glad I picked up English before going to school. Because they don't "teach" you them they just tell you to memorize stuff. The highest form of education available only did better when it came to English, but the other languages (which were mandatory as well) did just as terrible as all other levels below that did with English. Heck on one level lower there were literally just incorrect translations you had to memorize or else it'd be wrong on the test if you gave a correct translation. Insanity. But even for something like high level math I often ran into this problem where they prioritize memorization and rules over actual comprehension and learning. Crazy how they just cut away from that and didn't show us though and just declared "his classes are popular now". The second part of what he says also makes sense and is one of my bigger issues with how many universes treat magic. Overall this show still feels weird and empty though.
Finally some PLOT even if it's just some bootleg death eaters.
Also "bang" being military grade magic is wild lol but at least that's consistent with the explanation we just got. Like that he was about to kill her though NOW THAT would have been crazy writing, just explode her (or heck any student)'s head right there and then. Obviously you'd have to use it for more than just shock value though.
The side plot of Sistia or whatever her name is being kidnapped, is so bloody random.
It's like he just wanted to add a rape/attempted rape scene, it was pretty decently done but still random AF. His entrance was predictable the jokes he made were, the Arcana was unexpected and interesting though, it was immediately obvious that he wouldn't be able to use magic either so I don't get how neither of the other 2 got that right away but okay, nor did they get it would then obviously become a physical fight? like Huh? it's like he pretty much literally just said "I disabled magic in a small area around me" like how is that not obvious. Didn't expect him to be good at physical combat though, but now I kind of see it with the whole pose and glove thing, it was kind of in his design despite being fairly "lanky" looking. Bruh "it's a small" can't even English. Again kind of just weird but okay. I mean again look at those ropes, first the school uniforms now this, it's like the creator wants to make extra sure you understand his fetishes. It's like... I really want to say the MC is funny, but somehow he just manages to be funny without being funny. He's "funny" but no one is laughing. I can't even really explain why, it just isn't really that funny or at least not his obvious jokes that you see coming from a mile away but it's not like predictable humor or jokes are inherently bad so I guess somehow it's the execution.
