If these guys just up and realized that they were putting an organization ahead of people... story'd be over pretty quick!

No offense, but doesn't the word choices "that's what this story is about" sound painting this as objective? Like it seems as if you're pushing your prefered narrative, like wanting to get something like Ex-Aid of "characters constantly being hostile, fighting, and at odds with each other" thus anything is acceptable to get it and it'd have no faults or criticisms (like against those who acknowledge the character's beliefs or characterization, but still feel that they're too much of an asshole in their reaction to this) as long as this happens - and yeah, fanatical belief in system/organization is also one of the roots behind being an asshole (the self-righteous type).

Though for my personal thoughts, Rintaro is someone professional, but he's also someone nice for that (IMO a breath of fresh air); thus he'd be more open minded before, like how he's accepting on Touma's methods when he tries to mentor him before, instead of like, insisting that he's a newbie that doesn't know anything and forcing him to obey and do things their way. By having both of these I'd think he can be conflicted at first, at this early stage instead of immediately fully leaning on the other way.
