So I'm an anime only, though I larp on the side. If Subaru is Flugel and made the tower so only he'd pass, what would his answer to the second trial with Reid be? IIRC the only times it was cleared was by Emilia because Reid was just playing around and Julius because Gluttony's body couldn't keep up after consuming him. Both of these feel like they would be out-of-scope when anticipating how to clear them.
Shaula basically lays it out when she reveals that Rule 5 (Destroying the tests isn’t forbidden) exists. As per her previous statements, as long as she isn’t ordered to break the 5 rules, she’ll follow Subaru’s own orders.
Subaru can just order her to destroy the remaining tests (only reason he didn’t was that they had bigger things to worry about by the time he figured it out). Exam spirits Reid and Volcanica can’t leave their floors so her long range attacks can just be used to destroy the tests without risk of retaliation.
Oh that's a good point. I didn't consider that Shaula would be allowed to destroy the tests since she's the "proctor" basically. But yeah, she listens to Subaru unconditionally. That was probably the expectation upon designing the tower.

And mfers still think Subaru is not Flugel. Flugel made this trial so that only he could pass.
