There was like 10-20 pages of debate over the teacher shortage when its such a non-issue. None of the students care that course 2 students don't have teachers. Course 2 students included. Self-study and personal responsibility for their education is the standard. Uniforms, meh. Might slightly help, but a course 2 student is still a course 2 student, its an empty victory. Feels like they accomplished something, when it doesn't affect anything tangible. #3 might be something, but its not like there's tons of spots in the first place in the student council. The whole conclusion of the debate just showed what Tatsuya's been saying and his purpose for questioning Mibu's desires. Its just a bitter mob taking out their anger on others because of their own lack of ability. They don't want to listen to reason, they just want a pat on the head and will jump at anyone or group that feeds their own self-satification. They're just as bad as the couple discriminatory course 1 students we seen. Both sides have their own ignorant qualities.

The thing is that the teacher issue, its not something they care about, as as said, magicians period are short supply, and it funnels down harshly on the number of teachers. It would have been just as easily refuted by Mayumi. The course 2 students nor the student council have the resources or knowledge to change this, since this ends up overhauling the entire magic infrastructure of the entire country/world, not just the school. Its good that the students are realistic enough about that to not bring it up
Uniforms might be the only thing worth talking about, but that's it.

As for the episode itself.
I really enjoyed it. Had really good dialogue that I enjoy much about the series. Strong voice acting too with everyone trying to deal with this issue without it having go public and ruining everyones reputation. So much for that by the end of the episode though. Looks like we're finally going to get some nice action. Looking forward to the cast showing their stuff next episode.

Discrimination hurts, and it really hurts.
Miyuki, please do not complain everytime Tatsuya gets acquainted with an another female. And let Tatsuya does his thing that he can do best because it is for his own good and MiyukI, for your own good too. Shooting guns, and throwing bombs? Why? What went wrong? I'm going to skip school if I knew that is going to happen. |

Having no emblem is inferior to having an emblem. Emblems and special markings are used to designate superiority. Whether it's right or not to separate the 2 uniforms is another topic, but you can't deny that the uniforms of the course 1 students are superior. Finally, on the topic of the student council requirement. If it was purely based on meritocracy is there a need to ban weeds from applying? The superior blooms would always win anyways without needing any kind of restriction wouldn't they? So these points should have been brought up by the course 2 student because Mayumi asked for them to bring them up, even if they're unsolvable. Quote:

Didn't they specifically say that one of the 'sneaky' thing they did was complying with the 'revolutionaries' and letting them have their open forum as they wanted, but was on so short notice, they couldn't properly plan up a proper debate and research though? lol.

but like I said there should be an attempt at trying to fix it. Like that bs Tatsuya talks about and in the next few episodes the other students. basically saying ''deal with it''. Which is the rudest and most bs answer about the 2nd paragraph, i wasn't referring to skill. I was reffering to anything that lets them work together

Meaning, hey, course 1 students and student council, deal with it for us, and solve everything, because we can't figure it out ourselves either. Its the entire point of Tatsuya's date questions with Mibu on two separate occasions. What do you want/How do you think it should be fixed? Both times, Mibu was at a lost for answers. It be one thing if they had detailed and logical demands and ideas to go about it, but they don't. They're just blowing smoke and throwing tantrums, Mayumi said if they were able to bring forth logical arguments to refute her, she wouldn't mind having these open forums method for future progress, but they couldn't. Its their loss.

And also, the reasons why the course 2 students are so ill-prepared and sucked at it, is shown at the end of the episode.
The terrorist organization is manipulating them and fanning the flames, and using the student's inferiority complex like pawns.

The way some Course 1 students calling Course 2 students "Weeds" and badmouthing them is what this fuss started in the first place.
Where is this respect for each others as equals gone to? Tatsuya already knows there is no hope for ending this discrimination all along and the way he said the word "unfortunate" is something that all is lost meaning to me. Miyuki, you do not have to discuss with Tatsuya later about how he got Mibu Sayaka's phone number. And Mibu Sayaka, just please be happy for the fact that you can use your smartphone. |

I think this is because they're being whipped up into a frenzy by a foreign entity that does not actually have their best interests at heart. You ever hear the old saying about Stalin and his useful idiots? It's kind of like that (just for the record, I don't usually agree with the real life political commentary use of this saying, but it still kind of fits here in Mahouka). The "useful idiots" (including Mibu) are sincere, but they're not that smart, so they're able to be easily lead around by "Stalin". Stalin is intentionally feeding them just enough to rile them up, but not enough to make them actually effective at what they're doing. Because Stalin doesn't really care about these useful idiots, he just wants them to undermine "America" for him. If these useful idiots actually succeed in their goals, and do so reasonably peacefully, then how does that benefit Stalin? He wants "America" (i.e. the school, and wider Japan) to be fraught with internal divisions, the better for the great Soviet Union. Do you see what I'm saying here? Remember, these students are being manipulated by a foreign force who's real goal is undermining Japan.

Yea, the cause is fine.
Tatsuya is...unique. But Mayumi and Mari and the top brass do seem sincere in getting everyone to co-exist peacefully. And are willing to work at it step by step. But this instance and attempt at it was doomed from the start due to the puppetmasters behind the whole thing.

Mayumi does have a point.
Even though it is magic school, it is still like any other ordinary school. And why do I have to run around like some extremist just to force other people do not discriminate? I'm just scaring those people who wants to have fun at school. It must be solved peacefully and smoothly. And Tatsuya is already doing things smoothly, so Miyuki just try not freeze those smoothness. |

Currently, I have a theory that there may be more about the bloom/weed conflict later in the series. Right now, I'm believing that someone at governmental level had purposefully manipulated the whole conflict behind the scene with their objectives being creating divisions among mages and weakening magic community. I believe they were using Divide and Conquer principle to control magicians. Of cause I could be totally wrong but with the way the story(both B/W conflict and the world-building) is right now it might not be completely improbable. But if that was true it's definitely going disturbingly delicious. My sadistic side is completely ready for this.
