I got this as an ARC from Edelweiss+. 
I liked the continuation of the story, if you'd ask me if I know how the magic and world work I'd be lying if I said yes... I am pretty confused, but this was fun and intense seeing the first exam, and it ended in a pretty interesting way, I am probably gonna read the 3rd volume too. I want to know if all the students survived or not, seemed like a pretty brutal exam...
