Notable that it was the spirit of Mahiru by herself and interested in the extent of her power. That she can also use multiple spell tags was something unexpected. it was cool :3 and may be or she, as without physical body, is limited here. That's a good point, and all theories are good so we can consider whether Mahiru was stronger as a human than she is now. Guess the one thing we can say is Mahiru and Noya together as Mahiru-no-Yo is far stronger being a combined being of sorts. And yet it's not likely she was pretending when she was surprised at Mika's strength...

So Crimson lotus ichinose do we think Mahiru is more powerful as a spirit here than she was in the light novels as a human, and if so could she have defeated Mika in their fight if she was trying to do that?
