Unfortunately, this have totally slipped past Tsuzuki's priorities. Have you ever thought of a possible ressentment from the non-mage population about the blatant treatment of favor that mages are receiving in the form of fast promotion? And what about the unfortunate implication that the system is rotten by rampant nepotism? Isn't enough to anger a bunch of people left in the sidelines and have them creating some faction ranging plain old protest group to domestic terrorist cells? Don't you think that the huckies crisis coupled with the mass based weapon ban should be enough to fuel a MASSIVE RAGE from the grunts and the normal population who would claim the right for self defense?

Tsuzuki appears to not see beyond showing his enthusiasm for tropes inherited from Super robot War, new mecha parts and duels that pretend to be a war. He don't seem to realize that he have created a powderkeg waiting to explode, he is not realizing that he have created one of the most fucked up societies in the way that it made The Free Planets Alliance from Legend of Galactic Heroes appear like a perfectly functional utopia.

When you run all of that through your mind and let it sink, horror hit you.
