The thing I also like from this novel is, other people also have their lives, that they're not rooting the MC all the time like they don't have any other things to do
Other novels are like that though
There're many couples here in mahouka world
Erika and Mikki(lol) are childhood friends and they have their own suspicious moment between them
but Erika seems to have a good relationship with Leo. I'm a fan of Leo x Erika myself.
Mikki seems to not thinking bad(in other words; thinks good lol) about Mizuki, and the girl also the same.
Other than that are the clear couples. Mari already have a boyfriend, who'll appear later in the story.
Sayaka also got herself a boyfriend
The CAD engineer guy(forgot his name) also is a couple with ...(forgot her name)
I think there're still others who I forgot to mention though
