(Opening Theme - Smile Bomb)

XXXXXXXXXX

Shikki: Not to sound like an complete ass, but this is none of their business. So, why is everyone worrying about what is going on?

The red head found himself standing outside in the courtyard with his friends and everyone else. And by everyone, that meant every student in the school. It seemed word got out about the Shiny Rod and spread like wildfire.

Lotte: Diana is the most popular and greatest witch here. Everyone wants to get on her good side

Akko then showed the Shiny Rod to Diana who came close to observe it.

Diana: It's just an imitation, they are everywhere.

Akko: No, this is the real deal. Shikki can vouch for me!

The girls with Diana, who came to be known as Hannah and Barbara, spoke up

Barbara: Oh, did you bring this toy for show and tell?

Hannah: Did you spend your allowance on it?

Akko: You don't believe me? Well, I'll prove it!

She walks up to the statue in the center of the courtyard and aims the Rod at it.

Akko: Pay attention.

Lotte: Are you sure about this?

Akko: Yes, I'm sure. Whether you believe me or not. Please Shiny Rod, perform a miracle like you did the other day

Shikki: Akko...

Akko: Move, stone statue!

...

...

...

Nothing. Not even a small twitch. Akko kept trying, while everyone else was laughing at her. It got to the point where Akko started tearing up in mere frustration. Seeing this, Shikki began to clench his fist in anger.

Shikki: Shu-

He was then cut off when he hear Diana chant an incantation.

Diana: Anslow Airo!

The statue began to move and scared Akko. A hand moved above her and plucked the small leaf off her head.

Barbara: That was an advanced spell that brings statues to life!

Hannah: Diana is miraculous!

Diana held up her hand, signaling her friend to cease their fan-girling. Shikki, Lotte and Sucy walked over and knelt over to Akko.

Lotte: Hey, are you okay?

Akko seemed to be in shock as she held a blank expression.

Shikki: Akko?

Diana: Real magic comes from tradition, and constant studying. It isn't something that someone intrigued by a fad can ever hope to learn.

Barbara: The Canvendish family is well renowned for their rich history in magic.

Hannah: Diana's much better than some dumb show magician.

Diana then looked over at the only boy in the group.

Diana: You see, Shikki? If you want to become a powerful wizard, you must work hard.

With that, she and her friends walked away. Gritting his teeth, Shikki stood up and pulled out his wand. Diana and the other girls stopped as they felt an increase of magic power from Shikki. Akko, Lotte and Sucy all looked at the boy as they felt the familiar sensation back in the forest.
