While at its core the series has a fun and somewhat new premise, very little is done with it in this volume, just a OP protagonist breezing through the local crime lords through violent magic and later on a diplomatically hostile empire with the help of demonstrations of said same magic. The first volume already had its problematic elements, and I suppose that if you don't mind OP protagonists, you could do worse, but I find it lacking. It is just not something that I associate with the role of a teacher and as a result it felt a bit jarring in addition to being somewhat boring. Just not my thing.
