I wouldn't be making predictions about anything at this point. This could go a lot of different ways, and so far the series hasn't (in my opinion) been all that predictable. I think things will get interesting with this new arc. Certainly the MC's reaction to his new seat mate was interesting, and the new girl seems quick on the uptake, having sussed out their underlying feelings for each other. I think there's a wild ride ahead -- but your mileage may vary.
