Yet the story fails to actually present any negative consequences bad enough to convince the reader to side with S.O.S in that regard and only gave readers the impression that S.O.S and Morales acting on acting LawfulStupid at best or being oppressively authoritarian at worst.

Add onto the fact that Morales won't shut up about taxpayer money and was rather antagonistic towards Ray early on in Chapter 1, from spewing demagoguery about him to taunting him in a demonstration match, and it becomes easy to lose all respect for him by chapter 3 regardless of whatever redeeming qualities he has or displays later on.

Its implied she had a rough upkeeping and had to work to get where she is. [[spoiler: Ray on the other hand just got accepted after putting on a show when fighting the Port Town Gang and Liev twice, the latter which eventually caused Asuka to recruit him, which is in direct contrast to her. Add onto the fact that her job is at risk by the time the third chatpter hits, and its hard not to sympathize with her given that she had to go through a lot of hardships while Ray had very little, even if she isn't the primary protagonist]].
