That seems silly and arbitrary: Letting the entire party in after Subaru passes the monolith test, then only allowing Emilia through after she passes the Reid test.

It seemed obvious to me from the start that nobody was going to defeat Reid with only swordsmanship.

I doubt that Flügel did so.

It was foolish of Julius to try a second time.

For some reason, I like Shauna’s combination of being oblivious, a mystery, and a deadly threat at the same time.
