Thanks for the update.
Honestly, I don't hate the ML or the ship that much, just that they could find someone better or at least let the series not have any romance at all? I was all up for the receptionist plot.

As for the spoilers I've read about him still flirting with women, it must've been a misunderstanding or terrible machine translation. I can't see Lockman's flirting given his actions this chapter (heck, the flirting was a fake or the one using his face as a disguise). So, we can debunk that spoiler.
If we follow the reviews though, the romance is very slow paced since she's dense and he's a grade A or B tsundere (the confession is near the end or last arc trope apparently). Not the physically abusive type (well other than their "friendly" rivalry but if MC can let bygones be bygones and let the only thing affect her is the constant reminder of being #2 (which is stupid since like someone said before,
1. both are aiming for different professions, little to no purpose in competition
2. Its been mentioned that back at their academy days, grades wise, they ARE equal (right now, ML is better since he memorized laws and literally makes new spells but it stems back to different professions and available supplies/circumstances and opportunities) but they can't have a commoner on top, that would hurt the pride of nobles and ruin the rep of the school)
