From where you got that? Though if it's true, it's better than to say "She was held back because she's lazy"
I'm inclined to say she was hold back due to her inexperience with the IS. Why the government put her in the Academy forcefully without providing her with initial training or a personal IS or at least an easy access to training IS is beyond me. Tatenashi said that she's good at teaching, so I don't see any reason Houki can't be better at piloting, because she trained differently by different teacher
Regarding the 'S' rank, just pretend you're watching Gundam
I can also say I can't see Houki losing to Ichika, seeing both Akatsubaki and Byaku Shiki consume too much energy in their 1st Shift and 2nd Shift respectively. They were last in the race in vol 6. Besides, Ichika couldn't beat her in kendo training

No need to be so hostile about it, I was just answering a question.
What makes people remark that she turns into a canon sue is the fact that she literally jumps from lowest rank to highest rank during the fight with the golems, it would've been more realistic if her rank slowly went up or she didn't immediately jump to S rank during the fight but somewhere lower like A or B. Most personal IS pilots are trained for years and they tend to go up only to the high A ranking whereas Houki reached S rank i
n the middle of a fight which makes it hard for some to swallow.
I personally have no problems with any character no matter how high their power level gets. Phantom task members have shown themselves capable of handling multiple IS units even when they're outnumbered so I'm not really worried about the characters going god mode sue
