I still don't really understand how this is supposed to be funny, especially given how little she actually understands what's even happening. At least the star of the first arc pretty quickly grasped the situation and was able to make an informed decision to keep going with the training. This still just feels like outright torture. And when it comes specifically to making her fall to her death, what's that supposed to accomplish?
So far, this arc just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
