New Theme Songs Set the Tone
The trailer also gave fans their first full listen to the new theme songs. The opening theme is โBELIEVERSโ by rock band ASH DA HERO. The energetic track fits the series’ theme of fighting against impossible odds .
The ending theme is โReachlightโ , a calm ballad performed by singer Shiyui . Both songs were chosen to match the emotional journey of the main character, Will Serfort, as he continues to climb the tower and chase his dreams.
Fans can pre-add โBELIEVERSโ on music streaming platforms now. The full digital single will be released on April 13, 2026 .
What to Expect in Season 2
The story picks up right where the first season left off. Will Serfort is a student at Regarden Magical Academy who cannot use any magic. In a world where wizards rule, he fights using only his sword and his strong will .
His goal remains the same: to become a Magia Vander, one of the most powerful mages at the top of the great tower. He wants to stand alongside his childhood friend, Elfaria, who is a magic genius .
The new key visual shows Will standing in front of the massive tower with a determined look. The tagline reads, โThe name of his magic isโฆ Courage!โ . The trailer hints at new monsters wreaking havoc in the city and Will facing threats that will test his limits without magic .
