19571


I recently rewatched the series and noticed that in episode 10, Shiba Tatsuya
was wearing a course 1 uniform in the ball. I'm thus confused whether this is
a formal wear, or to prevent discrimination from occurring in the ball, or
perhaps a mistake by the studio.

Is the uniform worn by Tatsuya during the Nine Schools Competition banquet a mistake or formal wear?


It is intentional and is emphasized in the light novel. As representatives of
First High to the Nine Schools Competition, all participants wore school
uniform with the school's emblem to the competition.

From _Volume 3 - Chapter 3_ , right before the ceremony to send off the
representatives to the Nine Schools Competition, Tatsuya was handed the
uniform for the technician team, which was to be worn during the ceremony and
for the full length of the Nine Schools Competition:

> The one who answered was Mayumi.
