Review:
Arlo gets John to let down his guard just enough to reveal his true abilities...which are on a level even Arlo didn't suspect. As more and more people learn John's secret, he worries about what might happen when Seraphina finally learns that he isn't the Zero he's always pretended to be.
Meanwhile, whoever it is that's targeting people with superpowers seems to be getting bolder.
Meh. I'll probably be stopping the series here. Although I liked the first volume well enough, I had trouble working up the willpower to read this one - part of my issue is that I keep thinking of this series as off-brand My Hero Academia, which I suppose isn't fair since they do different things with the "school of people with superhero powers" premise. But the other issue is that I don't like John. He has trust issues, and I understand why, but I still don't particularly like him, and this volume didn't change that. More the opposite, really.
The mystery of who's targeting people with superpowers is vaguely interesting, and I'm intrigued by the fact that they seem to have ways of cancelling out people's powers, but I've seen similar storylines in works that didn't ask me to put up with an angry MC whose closest friendship is built on lies.
