A second faculty member’s disappearance in as many years sends shock waves through Kimberly Magic Academy. Without any clues as to the culprit’s identity, the headmistress is treating everyone as a suspect. Amid this turbulent state of affairs, the student body presidential election is fast approaching, and the incumbent president, Godfrey, has yet to back a successor. Meanwhile, Nanao endeavors to help star athlete Ashbury, who’s hit a wall trying to improve her broomriding speed. To top it all off, there’s a shady new transfer student prowling the school! Yet as friendly as he is, no one seems to know much about him…

While this volume is relatively lighter compared to volume 5, it's still quite a heavy volume. The tension is palpable, choking not just the characters, but the readers too.

It shows the grim aftermath of volume 5, more brewing plots and clashes for the future, further explores the characters and their relationships, and once again reminds us of the world they live in.

P.S. I love Yuri already. P.P.S. I say this again and again but the world truly feels alive and I love it. I feel like I catch a glimpse of another part of the world in every volume, as if it isn't alive and colorful enough. Though some of it is really grim, that's also part of the charm.
