It could just be that they don't completely understand Medaka's worldview, or that this is the first time they've heard her and Zen's full history, or that this is the first time she's spoken specifically about one person instead of humanity in general. I still don't but that Medaka is the sort of person who can be "in love" with someone.
That said, this was another boring fighting chapter that used plot holes and inconsistant power levels to show what a badass Zen is. I miss the quirky school comedy it used to be. I hope this manga gets a mercy killing soon.
