I didn’t like volume one and volume 2 didn’t change my mind. Volume one was annoying because of all the “girl drama” instead of working as a team. Volume two is the same story over again, except this time the apprentices are arguing with the seasoned mages. I like the concept of the story, but find the execution lacking. More time is spent on the in-house drama instead of the cybernetic war, and I find it lacking because of this reason.
