MGRP White Ch 8 first impressions, reactions and rambles

Pre-read thoughts:

Thinking about it, maybe Halna has a magical girl form and a sort of reverse Melville where she resembles Cranberry but from her obsession to stopping her instead of admiration?
I also forgot to consider Tetty potentially also being body swapped nooo, aaa, poor girl was perfectly used, played like a fiddle
I didn't realize it but I did miss all this political intrigue, scheming and grand conflict, not that BD didn't have it but so much of it comes down to SURVIVAL so its nice to have it here but this time, nicely balanced with the school life stuff (opposed to Aces/Queens all politics all stakes), its a good dynamic I'll keep saying it

reading:

okay so Frederica is going in early but blue knew that she would but knew that if she knew that she knew then she wouldn't so she didn't tell anyone yes
I'm still dubious Frederica will be at her estate I mean, why wouldn't she go, also she can teleport can't she??
so, Lazuline just wants to break away from the magical girl system? is that what she means by no more magical girls? but is that no more magical girls (as the kingdom has defined them) to be replaced by her vision (artificial magical girls) or just no MGs period?
based or cringe, is the question
I guess then, Frederica just wants to take it over and make more magical girls according to her ideals, basically her examination philosophy on a grand scale
ooh interesting about Lightning's origins, so her otherworldly beauty is a literal result of her birth
this is some good fucked up world building like, of course some mage would do shit like thiis
Also I noticed last night from the re-introductions that her name is Ai Tanaka, as in Ms.Tanaka, so I definitely feel like Old Blue has a bias here, thinking of her as a child of sorts, specially as the culmination of the princess series
Is Old Blue that different from the mage that made lightning though? hmmMMMMmm
okay so they're both setting up a showdown, or at least, Old Blue is confident Frederica will be there because of this

oh Asmona, I like her, constantly tired of Frederica's shit lol
"It seems you understand each other quite a bit, its gross" oooh the PythieXBlue ship, my eyes have opened...
this conflict too, is (toxic) yuri
Asmona almost went to school (and would've gotten a design!!), also Amy and Monako! I feel like this is more or less confirming they die during F2P lol
I guess it explains why it was mostly Elite Guard girls from Caspar
and of course, even as she gets that Lazuline is dangerous, Frederica wants to best her in battle, its what magical girls do
The Great Adulteress hoooOO lets fkn gooo, really hyping her up now
daww, Asmona cute
just always wish all these named characters could get designs, they're fairly important, at least Halna and Asmona I feel (but well, we'll see how long Asmona actually lasts)

Halna got them in, they're smug but I think she got them trapped its the courtyard cmon now
oooooo hohohoho okay okay its just all magic but holy shit, magic forest, badass gardener
I wonder who she'll call, Tetty? All the homunculus girls?

right Kumi kumi carrying the dragon still awwwwe
is she gonna logic out of this, "yea we knew that" lol
aww hell yea, she noticed she was left behind so she may as well do her own shit and care for herself/the class
and awwe mephis not even hiding that she didn't want to attack the class
aaaaaaa yep there it is, they'll be good girls, all according to keikaku
halna's contingencies are really impressive though she's really putting up a good fight considering who all she's up against
Frederica and Blue all discounted her lol
ah wait, this means Diko and Lillian will ditch to go help Halna too

we're getting so close to the end this is when Endou packs a crapton into the last 10% I just know it
