I am not entierly in agreement, to me Tatsuya sees the logic behind the weaponization of mages, it's just that he wants another life, i dont think he's looking to unmade the ten master clan system, just creating another path.

Tatsuya's magic is significantly more destructive and versatile in essentially every way. If Tatsuya decided (for some reason or another) to create his own clan, I'm pretty sure he can easily get into the top 10s ranking with just his Decomposition magic alone, not even counting his Elemental Sight and Regeneration.
True but what i argued was that at the end you will need Tatsuya cooperation, not just his mere presence as Rava wrote:

Whether Tatsuya himself is willing or not is totally irrelevant. His mere association will send the scales crashing in favor of whatever family he is associated with. Maya calls him a monster for very good reasons.
