This volume picks up right where the first volume left off! Right back into the action. The mystery deepens in the story and the mystery of Ray's past is also introduced. I also really like how this manga slowly explains how its magic system works. Information is revealed in a way that makes sense within the story. It's in small exposition bursts, but since it's under the guise of it being a class lesson, it's not jarring nor out of place. I really like this story and the mystery keeps getting more intriguing as the story goes on!
