Briefly about the events of previous seasons
In the world of anime, history develops along a different path, where in the 21st century magic was recognized as a full-fledged science and a new stage in the development of technology. After World War III, four superpowers emerged: the United States of North America, the New Soviet Union, the Great Asian Alliance, and Japan.
The main events begin in 2095. The story focuses on Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki, who enroll at First High School to study magic. Upon admission, future students are assessed by tests, after which students are assigned to the first or second stream, “flowers” or “weeds.”
The guy ends up in the “weeds” because of low scores in practice, and then ends up being assigned to the disciplinary committee. In turn, Miyuki is assigned to the “flowers” and to the student council. Tatsuya quickly becomes an example of the school's misjudgment of abilities and amazes his classmates with his knowledge and abilities.
The last adapted arc of the light novel was “The Guest,” where an exchange student from USSA, Angelina Kudo Shields, comes to First High. In parallel with the arrival of a new student in Shibuya, a series of murders occurs, and the victims do not have a drop of blood. The mysterious vampire turns out to be a “parasite” demon, and Tatsuya Shiba and his comrades unwittingly become involved in this case.
In the process, it turns out that Angelina’s true goal is not to study and exchange experience, but to study the powers of the protagonist and, in the future, capture or kill him. This mission was entrusted to the shoulders of the girls from the USSA special services, who are behind the scenes investigating the causes of the Yokohama incident that occurred in the first season. The final two episodes are dedicated to the heroes' confrontation with the extremist organization Front for Humanity and the graduation ceremony.
What will happen in the third season of The Unlucky Student at the School of Magic
It is stated that the continuation of The Unlucky Student at the School of Magic will cover three arcs. Based on the events of the light novel, these should be "The Saegusa Twins", "Hardship Cross Country" and "Excitement in the Ancient Capital".
