布施龍太/Ryuta Fuse, 浅野いにお/Inio Asano, かわすみ/kawasumi, しろ/Shiro, and toi8 prove that a proper magic academy story require three things: immaculate uniforms, deeply serious academic rivalries, and students who absolutely have a midterm tomorrow but are instead unlocking something ancient and extremely inadvisable. It’s all very disciplined, very prestigious, and one dramatic hallway encounter away from a full story arc.
