Maybe, but it's not unheard of for Axeman to just be inconsistent. Loid gave up on Anya being an Imperial Scholar almost 100 chapters ago and he's been consistently meh about Stellas since. This chapter he said he's going to see Donovan at the next Imperial Scholar event. So he now expects Anya to not only become an Imperial Scholar again, but also to get the remaining five Stellas by the next event?
Given, he is still very negative about the progress towards becoming an Imperial Scholar so maybe he's looking into alternatives for getting in, despite the risk.
