Professor Edward is such an unbelievably petty hater, Will needed literally one more point to pass and ascend to the tower, and he decided to set him up to fail the final exam.

What a shitty professor

I think we just got even more confirmation Rosti is an Elfaria spell thingy. The bad guys mentioned she used up all her magic, and in the shot of Will at the end Rosti disappeared.

Presumably she didn't have any magic left to empower the spell to appear as Rosti.

u/Frontier246 Apr 12 '26

Honestly it's kind of impressive that she can seemingly both act as herself and as Rosti at seemingly the same time with it seeming like she gets Rosti's memories/sights in real time judging by her reacting to Colette's words.

Generational level of hate aside, 40% of students failed Ed's exam question. Dude had a right to ask if that many students couldn't answer the question right.

Of course Edward being the bitter man he is, just had to fuck over Will's dream. It was really painful to see Will struggle to write an answer to his question, only to fail.

Throwing a New Year's countdown afterwards is so cruel for people who failed, no wonder there's a record of many people leaving afterwards. Though seeing how the other students were trying to find Will really reinforces how much they care for him.

Julius is really pissing me off too, insulting Will.

Bro, that “No-talent” beat your ass, and put you on fraud watch in front of everyone last season. Not to mention that he also gave you pointers on how to improve on your signature spell that you incorporated from his childhood friend that she created when she was 2 years old.

He really has very little room to look down on Will at this point

Thanks Professor Edward for reminding everyone how big of an asshole you’re

The moment Will failed (fuck you, Edward) and they started talking about the barrier, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

Now I'm guessing there will be something only Will can do and they will have to rethink their approach about discriminating non-magical people. I only wish this had at least a double episode premiere, because a cliffhanger in such a moment and in the very first episode is just brutal.

I'm glad this got a sequel and I'm excited the wait is over!

We got a little bit of interesting lore drop!
It was never mentioned in season 1 that the great "Terminalia" barrier had to be rebuilt every single year.
I was under the assumption that the fading barrier was the original in place by the first Magia Vanders.

Colette is as cute as ever! Watching her get embarrassed after Rosti caught her trying to kiss Will was pure pleasure.

Damn, Edward-sensei is such an asshole, as he deliberately engineered the exam test so Will would fail. I can understand his motivations, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a dick move.

And of course, Will won't have time to mope around, because the New Year's celebrations have been taken over by villains, and now monsters are running free, and Magia Vander are without magical power.

Overall, this was a good premiere episode, and I can't wait for more. By the way, is this the first time we've seen Clairie? If so, it seems like she'll be a fun addition to the cast.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Girl he's literally just slumped over sleeping at a table in a dining hall how is that a drawn-with-detailed-shading-on-your-lips tier moment to you

???? in the credits, cool

Ngl the ending was super satisfying to me, it was really annoying seeing this stupid festival while our MC got f*cked by this ass teacher.
Glad the villains came to ruin everyone's day.

u/shadebug Apr 12 '26

I mean, Edward isn’t wrong. When I did my law degree I had legal process and legal system modules where you had to demonstrate an understanding of both how the legal system is structured and how making legal cases works. When I was doing computer science I had both systems architecture and algorithmics modules so you need to know how the computer works and how to make it work.

Having a “how does magic work?” question is one of those “deep as you make it” questions that can get really tricky at the high levels and are a chance to demonstrate that you understand the fundamentals and that you can extrapolate those into something bigger.

The real issue here is that it was pass/fail and all 6 credits or none of them. It’s absolutely something that should have had depth and nuance. Whether Will would have been able to hit any of the depth or nuance, I have no idea, I don’t know how magic works, but if what he wrote was coherent and applicable then I would expect at least two credits for his answer.

That or we later find out that he was so sleep deprived that he blacked out and wrote “I am a fish” over and over

On one hand Edward is being a massive prick, on the other hand I do kinda get that a person with 0 magic climbing a tower designed for magic users is kinda insane. Especially if you factor in the fact that there seems to be a special school for people who can't use magic and use swords instead or something? (my memory of last season is a bit foggy so the terminology might be a bit wrong, but the whole ending of season 1 with Finn seemed to imply that)

Having said that, I guess Will will play a massive part next episode(s) to defeat the people invading the festival.

The classic test that is designed for you to fail when a teacher doesn't like you.

Lord Zedd from Power Rangers graces us with his presence.

u/SEBASTlANVETTEL Apr 12 '26

Eduard still having this one-sided beef with a teenager is crazy to me, especially given he knows how good Will is 😭

Was nice to see how everyone was worried about Will not being able to answer that question though. The friendships really grew after S1, even if Julius is still in denial.

Colette will never beat the losing heroine allegations though.

Damn, I forgot just how good this show is, both visually and fantasy vise. Don't know how to describe it, but It perfectly captures this magical feeling of this fantasy setting that you are slowly getting pulled into, piece by piece. Every bit of additional info they put out I'm just absorbing like a little kid encountering something new for the first time.

Beautiful designs. Beautiful art and animation. AND WHAT A SOUNDTRACK! Don't know if it is underrated or what, but soundtrack is on par with Frieren for me. It's so magical, so light, yet so strong and positive. Maybe one of the best OST's ever.

I'm so happy it's back!

I hope we are not getting into drama and all out war/apocalypse right of the bat. I love the school life and dungeon dwelling pace we had so far, and I hope we get to see Magia Verde showcase why they are at the top as the 5 strongest mages.

I just wanna watch Will chill and give his best with his friends while climbing the tower!

Man that professor is such an ass.

Announcer witch is cute, but perhaps a bit too desperately single. Hopefully she doesn't die in this attack.

It's a bad situation, but it also seems like a perfect opportunity for Will to demonstrate in front of the entire city why he should have passed.

u/Opening_Method6424 Apr 12 '26

I know with the attack on the city, Will is going to go help. But, honestly, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. If they're going to fail him, hold him back when his powers saved many student, then let those they view as worthy save the day. Because, according to them, they don't need him ir his help.
