Many people, especially the leaders of the factions probably can (remember they haven't fought him and were capable of quickly understanding his cheese strat like his master). Kunon definitely excels in certain ways but he's only in his first year, while his seniors have been there ages and lead the students of the special class making them the world's top magic students. Rather than being disappointed by this, I'm excited to see how they'll end up pushing him to be an even more capable mage in the future.Good lord what student could hope to compete with these two monsters?
They're not battle maniacs, they're magic maniacs. They get this excited about experiments, too.These damn battle maniacs. Go get a room, already.
