I kinda want this guy to win. He was cool enough to beat the protag through ingenuity, only to then get shoved away by bullshit magic powers and now he's going to lose to a guy with barely any armor.
I love that he's simultaneously cool as fuck and so much of a loser he never got over his childhood crush. It makes me feel sorry for him, especially with the 糸目 bitch mocking him, who I think I will do a 180 on as I hate passive aggressive women.
