easily get through manga, Webtoons also have their own iterations, with the only difference being in full colour, as opposed to the black-and-white manga standard. And in this season, we are presented with one such work: Kikansha no Mahou wa Tokubetsu desu a. k. a A Returner's Magic Should Be Special — author Usonan and illustrator Wookjakga's fantasy adventure time-travel series, being the equivalent to Ken Wakui's Tokyo Revengers, if only made in a fantasy realm.
In a ravaged life of war with an armed party fighting against an evil labyrinth that has absorbed the world into its eternal darkness, only the strongest mages would remain to defeat the dungeon boss, which they did until its sac burst to bring out imminent, permanent destruction upon the world. But for one such mage, he finds himself mysteriously time-travelling back to the beginning of school days and only has one objective: by having retained all of the memories from the previous timeline, he will use that to thwart a repeat of that same catastrophe in the new timeline. That's the MC Desir Herrman for you, being one of the last 6 mages in a party of the strongest mages who's
gone back 13 years to school to recruit the very same people in his party that would defeat the labyrinth's dungeon boss, by hook or by crook.
The school that Desir once attended (and has to again) is the prestigious Hebrion Academy, the school for both nobles and commoners, split into Alpha and Beta classes, which is designed for students to receive the education best suited to their skill level, resulting in the best possible learning outcomes for all the students. But with that balance, soon came oppression between the two entities, because while the academy still placed the most skilled students in the Alpha Class, most of them were nobles who had been systematically trained from the beginning of their education, leaning the Alpha Class to an aristocratic, superiority-obsessed air to it. And in that sort of atmosphere, a commoner with the appropriate skills would sometimes rightly qualify for the Alpha Class but would always be pushed back into the Beta Class, which,
other than the obvious difference of being the total opposite, was mostly composed of commoners who lacked any kind of support. Care and passion were not directed towards the students, as almost none of the lectures had proper professors assigned to them, making it extremely difficult for the commoners to reach their full potential.
