is john stronger than seraphina?

Yeah obviously this probably the biggest debate in the series Fandom, but I easily want to know whether rank in terms of each other, because on the school website john is number 2 under Sera, I feel like they should hold a number one spot together to be honest, john vs seraphina john was at a massive massive disadvantage and to be honest I think he could've won in the correct headspace even with just Cecile, remi, and arlos abilities, personally isee them as equals if not john just a bit stronger but what do you think
