Dumb shit galore I tell ye.

number 1: despite a previous strategy of doing a team battle being successful up until a single blunder, for whatever reason they went with a series of 1v1s to challenge Suletta. And even with all that combat data they literally did nothing to prepare for any of her attacks or get around any of her defenses. Not to mention this can easily be exploited by the earth gang. if it's just a mandatory duel every two weeks they can have one of their own members challenge suletta and immediately forfeit the match, thus satisfying the requirement. 

number 2: If Suletta's wondering how things could have turned out differently, easy: block the line of sight of the shooter with ariel rather than killing the shooter. assuming the arm can come down at the same speed in front of miorine, the guy can't sneak a bullet past. 

number 3: No idea why Nika's trying to confront two people in person when using a broadcast system or speaker would have worked just as well and she could continue to negotiate. there is no reason to confront anyone of them in person when they have a knife on them that they have explicitly threatened her with. she's just asking to get stabbed. 

number 4: the pharact has a fucking gun. why is stomping the only thing the terrorists try. or just hand the short one the knife.

number 5: The duel: oh fuck off just get these clowns arrested before the duel even starts. Nika knows they're terrorists and there should be security footage of them trying to kill her. or proof of the pharalect being used by them with property damage to back up that claim via fingerprints, eye witnesses, traces of hair or skin. Nika's threat was never even really addressed so that's still an option but "hur dur, duels are the only way.".

number 6: glad to see this season continuing with the theme of Suletta asking for the bare minimum every duel. If they were going to follow the rules of the school then i'm 90% sure murder is against the rules, and so is attempted murder. Or even use of violence. Nika could tell Suletta who those people are and have her deport them once she wins the duel if she wants to duel that badly. Jeturk did this exact thing episode 1.

1. The duelists seem to all be under different houses or companies so they can't team up because of conflicting interests

2: Her mom literally just told her at the time killing people was okay and she didn't really have time to think in order to save Miorine

3: Gee I wonder why the writers would want to increase the drama and tension in a scene

4: The gun may be loaded or might be too loud/damage the building and call unwanted attention

5: The most powerful people in the school are in on the conspiracy and can cover up the incident and on the off chance they actually do manage a deportation Nika would probably go with them because Sophie and Norea would spill the beans

6: Suletta's naivety is still a big thing with her character and Sophie spent like 2 days buttering her up and spending time with her so she may still like her to a degree
