I'm on Akina, sorceress part. Honestly the boring parts aren't as bad as I thought they would be but here's thing.
The other anon in the last thread mentioned:
>whether a particular heroine herself falls in love with the protagonist
But to me here it just seems like the opposite with how Kouki falls in love with the worst girl for no reason at all.
Akina's affection and reasons are obvious, especially after they win their first tournament match. MC on the other hand is just weird.
He keeps blabbering about them being teammates/comrades and not being able to do anything without her since she is their ace and leader etc and finally when push comes to shove it turns out he didn't want her to leave because he came to like her as a woman but never noticed it until the last moment, which is by the way complete bullshit. There was literally nothing between them, not even any kind of chemistry except for Akina herself obviously liking the MC and slowly changing her opinion in regards to his abilities especially after he becomes their coach.　
But hell she was the one who objected and was against him for the most of 'common' route and not entirely for tsun reasons either which almost got him executed.
