People who bitch over what Zara and Nadia did without even mentioning MC's actions either are hypocrites or lack the social skills to function in a real world. I don't defend neither Zara and Nadia nor the MC. MC acted like a piece of shit in order to win a
practice game and got what he deserved in the end. Ayua warned him when he was playing his "mind games" before, which can put Nami in danger in the upcoming episodes.

I won't delve into what Nadia and Zara did wrong, since anyone with two braincells can figure it out. What MC did wrong then, you may ask,
1. Stare at them like a creep and compare their bodies in order to make them angry and incite competition between them.
2. Being a sexist in order to anger Zara and undermine her abilities, in which Mila calls him out.
3. MC tries to push off Zara, while being aware of her clothing situation and meanwhile grope her ass. Also MC stands by and does nothing (like offering his own shirt) while Zara is nearly half naked in public and doesn't even try to apologize afterwards. Instead he celebrates the win like he won a tournament game.
MC does all these things just to win a practice game. We are not talking about shit talking during a game, which is normal. Shit talking usually ends when a match ends and normally if someone thinks they overstepped they apologize which MC doesn't even consider. Also some people say that in a real world MC could get into major trouble with authority because of what Zara and Nadia did. In a real world MC would not be celebrating his win, instead he would be trying to explain his action to school authority.
Does all of this excuse Zara's and Nadia's actions. No. But it irks me when people act like they did what they did because they couldn't handle the loss. They acted like that because
in their eyes MC acted like a creep and leered at them, undermined their skills just because they are woman, groped Zara and ripped her shirt off and acted like he won a tournament afterwards. I won't even comment on those who blame Robin. I will just leave a screenshots in which Robin lies for MC, to protect his reputation.

Amazing what people can make a situation look like if they put all the points to the extreme, forgetting all the context.
"got what he deserved in the end"
Not defending the actions of Nadia and Zara? You are contradicting yourself with what you write and the way you write it.
You are defending Nadia and Zara because you are putting the MC's actions in court to win the game that
does matter even if you don't believe it, against Nadia and Zara's actions against the MC as if they were understandable and even comparable, when they are not because of how competitive sports work and a bit of common sense.
The only thing I could understand is that they were angry and didn't want to talk to the MC but what they did exceeded all my expectations in their behavior and the lack of mental stability to endure losing a game when they didn't think clearly about their opponent when playing the game.
1. We already know that the MC is not a creep and what he is doing is intended to confuse Nadia and Zara. You are out of your mind if you think this deserves to be assaulted, taken off his clothes and left alone in shorts chained up against his will.
I love the double standard you use. From what the game showed us in this same chapter in the locker room these girls are not innocent, where they "objectified" the MC for his penis size and when they undressed him against his will (It was against his will even though he did not resist) Zara was looking at his crotch to see the size of his penis so let's stop pretending that only men are the "creeps".
2. "Being a sexist" The MC is not a sexist as he himself told Mila. It's to confuse and anger them so they don't think clearly, not something horrible like you make it sound like in your post. This is trash talking and it is very common in sports and obviously it would be even more common in unisex sports and it is not a bad thing. It's pure competitive spirit that the MC seems to be full of.
3. Zara pushed the MC to the floor and what he did is make her fall with him, he didn't want to tear her shirt off (it's not his fault that the material is so bad) and he didn't want to touch her ass either. He doesn't owe her an apology, it would be the opposite, Zara threw the MC to the ground and then there were consequences. Anyone could offer Zara a T-shirt or something not necessarily the MC.
She just got mad because she was losing and it is obvious that she is very competitive and didn't like that she misjudged the MC by someone who didn't know how to play or do tactics.
Not just a "practice game", this "practice" matters. These participants have to show the coaches what they are made of and that they have the necessary skills to be the best. Nadia and Zara would have done the same as the MC to win but you are putting that aside to justify the completely deplorable actions. As Mister Stahl said "Only the strong survive".
"But it irks me when people act like they did what they did because they couldn't handle the loss. They acted like that because in their eyes MC acted like a creep and leered at them, undermined their skills just because they are woman, groped Zara and ripped her shirt off and acted like he won a tournament afterwards. "
You are justifying their actions, they may be angry, okay I understand that but what they did was completely out of line.
Nadia and Zara did that to the MC out of revenge that they lost and underestimated the MC. They themselves said that "They had to take the hate out of their system."
The MC didn't tear the shirt or touch Zara on purpose and we know it and I am sure that Zara knows it too, in the end it was she who threw the MC to the ground on purpose, there are consequences for such actions.
Coach Hill said it like it happened and Zara knows it "There was no reason for you to go in like that in the first place. You obviously planned on crashim into him and you paid for it".
The truth is not a good idea to make men and women play against each other because this kind of thing happens.
What Robin did disgusted me, she basically lured the MC with that his sister/friend had a serious health accident and he has to rush to see her. I don't know in which universe that is fine. I wonder what justification she will give the MC.
Robin didn't lie to "protect" the MC. She is protecting herself and the MC at the same time. Nothing more.
The MC didn't act like "a piece of shit", that's completely exaggerated. I guess you never played a competitive game because there is a lot of trash talking and other tactics like that.
In the end those things have to stay on the court, luckily this is not real life because Nadia and Zara would have been expelled from school for what they did and with good reason. And no, what the MC did is not a reason for expulsion even if it surprises you. There is no place for weak links.
Another thing that you completely ignore is the attitude of Nadia and Zara (mainly Zara) a cocky attitude and completely underestimating the other players. That the MC took advantage of to win. It's not the MC's fault that they can't control their emotions and think tactically on the court just for a bit of trash talking. Simple, they underestimated the MC and paid the price for their ignorance of him.
In the end this is very simple, the MC won with smart/dirty tactics and skill, they lost and felt humiliated. So they went and assaulted the MC, stripping him against his will and chaining him to leave him there until someone finds him half naked. That shit that Zara did to put her foot in his mouth was disgusting, threatening the MC not to do something like that again because she was going to make him swallow her feet (WTF) and she wasn't referring to what you think were her reasons for doing that to the MC. The truth is, I thought that for such competitive women they would know how to lose with a little dignity, but no.
What I understand is that Nadia and Zara thought they were going to win because their opponents weren't comparable to them and reality hit them. Don't underestimate people without prior knowledge about them.
NO this is not justified by what the MC did in court, it was in the court and it isn't comparable to what they did to him at all.
I am not so surprised that the MC acts so calm when he realizes the trap, we have already seen that he is always 10 steps ahead of his opponents. And I hope there is some kind of payback for this against Nadia and Zara.
