Completely agree. There are a few scenes that I think is important in the development of FighterTutor, but there are so many scenes that could have been compressed or discarded entirely as fluff. Especially considering next episode seems to be more of the same. By the time they get back to SaiZon, would any of the viewers still have the same sense of continuity from their big kiss after two episodes away?

Considering the fact that next episode is also about this vacation, F/T would have been away for at least 4-5 days already. Unless they backtrack a few days (which I don't see since that mean no F/T screen time), they will probably continue everyone's story a few days afterwards. At best we will see flashbacks for Zon/Saifah aftermath.

But even in the last episode where the main focus was on SaifahZon, there were still a few scenes with FighterTutor. Compared to this episode where it is just FighterTutor, and what looks like next episode as well

Is it possible they are trying to set them up in case there is a second season? Otherwise, I agree. It seems rather pointless to add them only to have them be on for a few minutes

True. I just feel like they can remove that couple without affecting the general storyline at all. The writers have already demonstrated that Pad is a homophobe with her brother, so it isn't really necessary to reinforce that with the two students. This is probably just me wishing they had just that time to expand further on the main couple and their friends

I still don't get the point of having the high school couple storyline. Feels way too detached from the rest of the cast

Maybe I was looking at a different engsub, but I don't get a sense that they are together. They seem to be maintaining the same relationship as from the show.
