I... Hm. It was entertainingly bad up to this point, but the author's complete lack of skill at character writing, conversations, plot, and logic seem to be rapidly converging towards just regular ol' bad instead.
Man I really wanna know how they make up such cheap excuses for killing someone they expelled. Literally no benefit in killing him actually. And this is not the only manga that goes like this, so why we keep seeing same cheap reasoning for killing the expelled party member! Not even a chance that he can be blamed of a "curse" either.
I don't know why fantasy manga treats 'magical swordsman' as the ultimate class. It's basically just a fighter/magic-user in AD&D, eldritch knight subclass in 5th edition, or a bog-standard elf in BECMI.

I think one might get further understanding it by thinking less about the interplay of magic and melee in systems of game mechanics, much less any plausible in-world explanations, and instead dwell upon, say, the lasting allure of jedi knights as a cultural icon, who have hardly any solid reasoning behind their choices of armament that would stand up to any real logical test even in their own universe (despite the earnest attempts of several authors), but who have generally been agreed to be cool by ten-year-olds absolutely everywhere. (Because, you see, they have both cool swords and shiny magics.)
