The Eri background information actually made me dislike her character more. Talk about being elitist. I mean no duh, they are "school idols" not "professional idols." I'd agree with the figure skating vs. hockey thing as well. Looking down on a group because one of their skills isn't at elite levels is just ridiculous and arrogant.
Kind of makes me cheer on the Chairwoman for constantly shooting her down at every opportunity. I get she's not a bad person, but still annoys the heck out of me. Funny because I can sympathize with her not being allowed to do any thing as Student Council President. But I really can't sympathize with her too much because of the rest of her character.
Somehow the group passed their tests. Though it is amazing how bad Honoka is at math that all that work only got her a bare minimum pass
.
Now they can move forward.
