@Prinzinc 1) Lazy authors. It's possible to learn magic in a schoolroom setting, but most don't bother depicting the class time. "The Great Mage of the Hero’s Party Reincarnates" (reincarnation with memories in the same world) and "Life of a Magic Academy Mage" (reincarnation with memories into another world) are the only two magic school stories that talk about. And they manage to make it interesting.
2) Competitions are a thing in some schools between classes or clubs, and of course between different schools (think sports in the real world), but most authors way overplay it. At least this work made it a big international deal, so the weight on the kids makes sense.
3) That never made any da** sense to me. I like the ones where there's mana barriers or various shields that prevent lethal damage. Sometimes they're called "virtual realms". "GREAT WISE MAN'S BELOVED PUPIL" calls it a dream realm.
