Putting the Little in Little Witch Academia

Chapter 2: Peace and Brooms

Lotte held a small confused smile as she continued to quietly babble in full Finnish, you slapped your forehead. "I should've seen this coming, no way a bunch of foreign kids would know full English. Akko probably only knew a bit because she constantly watched Shiny Chariot-"
"Is something wrong teacher?" You put your hand down to see Diana wait for you, still looking as formal as ever even in the ongoing chaos behind you.

You gave her an awkward smile. "You wouldn't happen to be fluent in about four or five languages would you?" Diana shook her head. "I'm afraid not, but perhaps the fourth language spell from Edition #67 could assist you." Your eyes widened as you crouched down. "The what now?"

Diana continued diligently. "It is a spell that allows anyone to understand each other regardless of whether or not they know the same language as long as they stay within the affected area, which at a minimum will last for 24 hours." Diana jolted in surprise as you started clapping. "That's it, Thanks Diana!" A small blush was on the little girl's cheeks as you pulled out your wand, standing still until you turned to Diana again. "So uh what is the spell called?"

Her blush disappeared as she crossed her arms. "I continue to doubt your position as a teacher if you don't even know the spell is supposed to be done by two people-" Diana was surprised when you threw a wand into her hand, taken from Lukić's high desk as a small smile of desperation rested on your face. "Then could you help me?"

"I-I suppose so...I've only done it successfully once though when I was with my...um..." Before Diana could continue her muttering you placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure we'll do fine, as long as we trust each other!" She gave a small nod as you smiled at her, as you two cast the spell a bright light cast around the room. The first thing you noticed was Akko's Japanese turning into fluent English ranting.

"I-I'm going to show you all that I will be the greatest and best witch the world has ever seen and-and!-" Neither Akko nor Hannah and Barbara noticed their enemy speaking their mother-tongue fluently, with one crisis solved you rubbed your neck. "Now how to solve this dilemma...thanks for the help anyways Diana, you were great!" The young girl was playing with her wand and almost dropped it at your praise. "I-It was nothing teacher, besides I could feel that you did most of the work."

"Nothing? That spell is pretty advanced even for me, you were a great help and should be proud of yourself!" Your eyebrows raised as Diana shook her head. "No! That would be promoting vanity and fail me from improving myself any further, something I should strive for constantly!" The small glare Diana held was lost as you chuckled and patted her head. "I understand, just don't try to overwork yourself ok?" Diana stayed silent as you turned your attention towards Akko and her still ongoing fight with Hannah and Barbara.

"Now, now kids. You should be nice to each other." The trio ignored your words, making you let out a sigh of loss when Little Lotte waddled over towards Akko, barely holding onto a globe of the earth. "Um, H-Hey?" She whispered in a shaky tone, but it was enough for Akko to turn and look at her former orange-haired friend.

"I-I know what it's like to get bullied an-and my mommy says that the best way to deal with them is to ignore them." Akko furrowed her brows, accusingly pointing a finger at the snickering duo. "But I can't let those bullies get away with mocking my dream!" Just as Akko was about to go back to her fruitless back talking Lotte gently placed her hand on the angry girl's shoulder. "Why don't you follow me, You like magic right? I have something magical here..."

You smiled as Akko perked up and started to follow Lotte away from Hannah and Barbara, the former of the pair scoffing before going to Diana and praising her alongside Barbara for the magic spell you just did with her, the little cabbage nervously trying to remain humble. Back to Akko Lotte finally put the globe down. "Listen." The two girls sat down as the shyer one of the two slowly began to sing.
