Recap of the previous season
The vast majority of the first season was focused on setting up the world and the characters, with Tatsuya being mostly the main character and the one going through the most amount of drama in the story.
First High School has a system where Course 1 and Course 2 are divided, with the former having a higher rank, but what makes Tatsuya stand out from the crowd is his inherent and unique magic style.
The second season shows a lot more of how magic users are perceived by normal citizens and the Shiba siblings also had to deal with their connections with the Yotsuba clan, a very powerful yet corrupt family in Japan. This situation was also further highlighted by the arrival of international characters, particularly those from the United States, who added more political tension to the story.
