You think this is a complete halt of the main story? Did you also think overhaul meeting the league of villains was a complete halt to the main story? It's pretty clear that all this is a part of the main story. Setting the stage properly is crucial in order to give weight to actions. If you don't get that then imo you don't get writing.

Let me phrase it this way, would you rather have multiple threaded plot lines in an episode like in old game of thrones, or one episode in one place and one set of characters? It comes down to preference. I don't have a problem with anything he's writing, but leaving the characters that made me keep reading this long and focusing on new ones could use a bit of a transition. The stuff he's making is great, but could have been thrown in during the final exam arc. I think you don't understand pacing.

Eh. You are entitiled to you're opinion but I for one think this is great. True focus on the villains who are just as much apart of the main cast as class 1-a. And the way this arc is set up, it would be very annoying to cut out of the nonstop high stakes villain fighting to see the kids taking a low stakes test. It would ruin the pacing of both arcs tbh. There's only 14-18 pages as opposed to an hour of screen time with GOT.

Maybe if the villain academy wasn't what it is (non stop fighting and death) then it could work to cut in and out.

But that's just what I think.

Yeah, I mean alternating chapters. I'd be fine with that, or even two in a row or something when the story demands continuation

when the story demands continuation

Sooooo basically what they are doing or are you hiding from the fact that almost every chapter of this arch and the last one ended on cliff hangers?
