Good point. You're probably right that in day-to-day use she'd still be the fastest. Unless she's already so fast that this new device wouldn't actually be able to improve on it?
But she might loose at least some of her advantage in serious combat. Assuming that the thought-controlled CAD sends the psion signals and activates the desired magical sequence at the same rate regardless of the user, the areas where speed can be played with would be the magician sending that initial signal and how quickly the usual CAD can process what the thought-controlled CAD is telling it to do. In a serious fight with both opponents using high-caliber CADs, her only room for manoeuvre would be in sending that initial command to the thought-controlled CAD and there's no saying she would be faster at that than her opponent. |

I think you guys are missing the point here. The thought controlled CAD just eliminates the need to press buttons to activate magic, the casting speed still depends on the magician. It would not affect Lina in any way.

"But, this is not the last time."
Miyuki interjected with emphatic words. "Miyuki." "So I shall not say goodbye, Lina." "...Miyuki, what was that — it sounded like a confession?" Lina widened her eyes as she stared at Miyuki with a face that had grown mischievous. "Hmm, I suppose it might be a type of confession. You are my rival, Lina." Miyuki was undisturbed by the remark and made that declaration in an unwavering voice. "You will surely reach out to take Onii-sama’s hand someday. You will surely become Onii-sama's ally. And that will begin our true competition (for onii-chan's affection). And so, I will not say goodbye. Until we meet again, Lina."

I doubt we'll see her soon. Probably for the final battle other than that no point of putting her back. Unless JP anf USNA form a team or alliance. I doubt Lina would throw away the glory..she is a little bit prideful afterall.

My personal theory: The Yotsuba International Sponsors will have a hand in bringing Lina back in Japan - the scheme is to try to breed two strategic mages , and restart the practice of international marriages between Allied nations.
I thought that Japan is still nominally allied to the USNA? |

A big current issue within USNA is the treatment of magicians and the public opinion that is being manipulated against them. The black sage has been responsible for causing trouble like this every where, a joint mission of some kind or a chance encounter when they have the same objective of hunter this criminal down is a possibility. (At the very least I think a GAA arc where Tatsuya and Miyuki get sent overseas and run into Stars who have the same goal or possibly a joint mission is possible) Considering that the Yotsuba have made a relashionship with Virginia Barans in the parasite arc, who is a high ranking USNA official. They have been willing to mobilise stars in order to do their dirty work before, in the case of having Virginia ordering Lina to break into the lab controlled by the Saegusa and kill the parasite. The Yotsuba might pull a stunt like this again and have stars brought into the story in some way. |

I kinda see the plot moving away from the Tatsuya vs the Yotsuba for now,even Maya has been lenient and helpful to Tatsuya in recent volumes. Quote:

if this announcement says anything of lina getting added to the mahouka psvita game, this is probably what Lina will look like in the anime also. I think she looks... not as cute or cool as i got from the novel illustrations. Maybe it's the pigtails or just the angle. |
