I've rechecked the scene with my feeble JP knowledge and concur that the "kill" part was an editorial liberty by gg. Still, it's a clear threat towards Homura. She'd kick her butt next time. And what do you believe what the outcome of such a battle be? I don't think it's gonna be demerit points.

This isn't funny stuff, but damn serious. We know that MGs are putting their _lives_ on the line. And this scene proves that she wouldn't have qualms attacking another MG. While it wasn't being said expressis verbis, this was the meaning of Mami's line. And this is a world Madoka absolute doesn't belong in.
