I liked the Solomon story so far, but his chapter... somehow didn't quite satisfy me.

The "Resistance" is now controlling 3/4 of the world (and is still called Resistance? oO ) and yet the war is still going pretty much the same way as before, with both sides sending only small teams out?

Usually such a large-scale conflict escalates into massive battles where the majority of the population get's dragged into it and even though it lasted for more than 10 years and covered pretty much the entire world, this didn't happen?

Then there's Sheba. She loves Solomon, but just because he was joking around with a child-hood friend she's getting all depressed? Solo was just asking that woman to not treat him like a god. That doesn't mean they are a couple.

If Sheba ends up betraying Solomon because of only THAT, I'm going to be seriously pissed. At least give her something to really be jealous about.

With the whole stopped or massively slowed aging, at least we learned how Gyoukuen could be so old and still look like a young woman and how Ugo turned from a slightly nerdy guy into someone who can barely look at women without his brain shutting off.

I wonder how they will show the transition from "classical" magitians to Magi, since so far everyone in the old world seems to be using solely the rukh in their own bodies. Maybe it has something to do with this change of Magoi that was mentioned. Maybe Il Illah (or whatever he's spelled again) is limiting everyone's access to Magoi to reduce the damage from the fighting, but gives a few chosen ones the ability to use the rukh of their surroundings (i.e. turns them into Magi)... or maybe the Origin Dragon will do that.

Either way I think there's more to this Magoi change than just the emergence of black rukh. If anything, freeing 3/4 of the world from the religious tyranny should make fewer people curse their fate and thus produce less black rukh, rather than more.
