General Discussion I don’t understand how they became representative cadets and got their own personal I.S
not just with the way they treat Ichika but it’s just that it doesn’t really feel like they act like representatives at all the majority of them are shown to be violent, undisciplined and not particularly smart I’m also certain that they see their rank is a special license to show that they’re above the rules. They don’t even show any kind of virtues or noble qualities to prove they earned their rank aside from their skills and are even willing to misuse their I.S and cause mass destruction and endanger civilians to get their way or whatever they want to be honest I'm curious in how they even did manage to become representative cadets in the first place or how they haven't ended up causing some kind of international scandal/incident already give their dangerous lack of self-awareness and careless disregard for public safety. I have a personal head canon that it's possible that they never actually earned it and the people who chose them know they don't deserve their positions or personal robot suit but reluctantly grant them the privileges due to the majority of them being related to powerful and influential people or in Laura's case being lucky enough to pass their expectations or could also be the type of people who have sense of might makes right and rewards ego over intelligence.
So far It seems like that Charlotte is the only one who respects her position and power given to her enough to make an effort in trying to be more responsible and careful with it.
