I think they didnt explain it properly or literally in a way takafumi describes it. But I think it should be like that. I havent read the LN so I dont really know about all of the mahouka stuff. Some questions are hanging there even when you are done watching it the anime, so Im just waiting for 2nd season and hope that they will describe all of the stuff + include some of the backstories of some characters :3 (woould totally love that).
