    At least one of them realizes that they just flew into a trap.

    They paired up Billy and Charisma? Seems a tad redundant, doesn’t it?

      Yes, hardly seems fair, 2 flying bricks and a brick. (Almost as unfair as putting Jones and Kwan on the same team, along with Chiq, a “multi-tool”). But superhero training isn’t really about fair. Everyone has to be up for everything.

        Exactly!
        I bet they set up the teams specifically to try and force all the Cadets to think about things strategically and tactically.
        ie: Which teams are most likely to defeat which other teams? Therefore, to improve your odds of success, which teams do you -allow- to fight one another, and how much do you interfere? Kaycee and Kwan absolutely dominated this test (spoilers) because they were both the best tacticians in their year of Cadets, despite neither of them having any other form of physical power. I suspect every team had a -chance- to win, but it was probably pre-planned by faculty to make these two teams the “teams to beat” for the other Cadets.
        For example, one of the Cadets has electric powers; Anka Walczak. She is the Hard Counter to Charisma. Most other cadet teams would have been wise to try and funnel her toward Charisma, just so they could have take down (or at least weaken) Charisma. Lyta is super-strong, but she can’t fly or run super fast, so a ranged combatant or Nadine could have probably countered Lyta pretty well. Billy is the clear top contender, all by himself, but as we saw with Chiq, there are definitely ways to handle him too.

          Having to face Blue team was probably also to force the other teams to consider what it will be like when they are outgunned and overpowered by the villains in real life. How to deal with it psychologically even if they can’t deal with it tactically.

          And Blue team might be about having them face their own hubris. How you can be humbled even if you are an all powerful team (were there rules for the other teams collaborating against them?) and to get them to consider why Force Magellan isn’t just made of the heaviest hitters.
