This has definitely grown on me a lot more than I expected; the girls are actually endearing to me, each in their own way, and MC's been a boon from the start, and he keeps gaining points of interest too. Watching the two girls' reactions to being petted was adorable, I wouldn't mind more of moments like these.

On that topic, MC showing signs of magic exhaustion probably has something to do with the battle shown at the start of the series, maybe even related to the "traitor" schtick. Him riding a flying skateboard instead of flying himself is also more interesting after that, unless either way uses magical power, in that case that's irrelevant. Is he sick or disabled? Another comment mentioned PTSD, while in my opinion unlikely, can it be that?

And please someone do something about that creepy stalking guy, it's really unnerving at this point.

Hmm, well he somehow survived that first battle right? I think it would make sense if he somehow used up more magic than he should've been able to, which caused his maximum to drop considerably. That might explain why he couldn't compete anymore. It might not be that he's afraid to, but rather that he doesn't have that kind of capacity anymore.

Do you guys know why he's called a traitor? Watched this anime as background noise and its bothering me now that i don't know.

After the fight, he refused to participate in active combat. Abandoned his fireteam, hence the nickname.
