When Akko opened her eyes, she felt confused because she didn't see the top bunk. A few moments later, she remembered that she went to Diana last night. Protective arms held her against a soft bosom. She was tempted to bury herself in that alluring softness, but she had to get ready for training. Akko spotted a clock which read seven minutes past five. It was time to go. Carefully, she wiggled out of Diana's arms. As she did so, she wondered why Diana didn't ask her to stay last night. It was obvious she had trouble sleeping.

Anna's words came to mind, "She's not demanding and she doesn't want to inconvenience you."

"It's not inconvenient," thought Akko. She remembered Diana's excuse that the bed was too small. Based on what she knew of her childhood, her aunt and cousins did little to help her, so she did as much as she could on her own. "I'll just have to tell her that it's ok." For now, she was happy that Diana was finally able to sleep. As she snuggled cheek to cheek, "You don't have to be so hard on yourself. You're not alone anymore."

After a quick lick on Diana's lips, she transformed into a mouse and opened the window enough to slip out. Once under the balcony, she changed to a bird and flew to their training courtyard.

When she arrived at the courtyard, Alice and Minna were there. Like her past self, they were having trouble with their spell control. It seemed strange to be the teacher instead of the student. But now, it was her turn to teach others about magic.

Transforming as she landed, she greeted, "Good morning! Ready to do some magic?"

"Yes!" said Alice and Minna.

Smiling, she flicked her wand to begin the lesson.

Just before Diana woke up, Akko gathered flowers and left them on Diana's window sill. She returned to the courtyard and they spent more time than usual on a tricky spell, so Akko was late getting to breakfast. She was surprised to see Amanda wearing a cloak. When Amanda stood to get seconds, the cloth for the back was longer and went past her knees. She was also sitting on a stool instead of a chair. Constanze and Jasminka don't seem surprised by this so Akko assumed that they already knew.

In lectures, Amanda's team no longer sat in their usual row. Instead, they sat at the last row. For astrology, Amanda flipped the chair and rested her arms on the back. Prof. Chariot didn't comment on her sitting style.

After Astrology class, Lotte showed a message on her orb. "Prof. Nelson says we're disqualified from the Broom relay race."

"What? We haven't even started!" exclaimed Akko.

"Did she say why?" asked Sucy.

"No."

During their free period, Akko went to see Prof. Nelson in her office. "Good afternoon, Professor. I'm here to ask why we're disqualified."
