Finally, I have some time to post my stories. Sorry, For the slight disappearance. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, Akko taking the entrance exam.
My Witch Academia Chap.4
The Shining Entrance.
The Exam and started. Akko's heart pumped harder than it had ever before in her life. She felt excitement. She started looking around for ingredients. While some like plants or mushrooms aren't so guarded, others like horns are inside caves or other hiding places.
All the simple ingredients were flashing away like dust in the wind. Many had gone before her very eyes. She tried to take some, but others around her were faster.
Akko turned around to see more, then found Diana running around, with a bunch of mushrooms in her bag and she carried three horns. Bringing to the current total of 39 points and still increasing.
Akko had none. She has to find some, Fast. She ran deeper into the forest. She then slipped some mud and then slide on the ground, down a slope then sloped up into the air.
"Ahh!" She screamed. Then Akko crashed into a very familiar lilac haired girl. Akko immediately stood up from Sucy.
"You are the Definition of Trouble" Sucy stood up and dusted her skirt.
"Sorry!" Akko bowed to Sucy.
Sucy sighed and another scream was heard. Sucy looked around and saw Lotte in the sky. She tried to step aside, but was hit again. "Aw, C'mon!"
Akko looked at Sucy's hands, full of mushrooms and flowers. Sucy saw Akko looked at her and put all the items into her bag.
"How did you get them so fast?" Akko asked with some curiosity.
"Just grab em. In my country, witches fight for ingredients. With many Sorcery users, we are bound to fight." Sucy answered. "Plus, I think the secret "Ingredient" is here somewhere. I can practically smell it."
"Ah! It's relaxing. Isn't it? Looking at the youths gather ingredients and fighting over for them" Miss Holbroo- Uh, I mean Deci-Bell said with a smile.
"Yeah, but it's too relaxing." Gyro said with a sigh of boredom.
"How about we put out the Secret "Ingredient" already" A middle aged witch with brown hair said. Miss Finneran was her name.
"Indeed" Lukic agreed.
The trio Akko, Lotte and Sucy strolled through the forest calmly. Once you been here for a couple minutes, you can get used to it a bit.
Then they heard a scream. They ran to see Hannah and Barbara, who were both running with mushrooms in their bags.
They looked to the previous location of the two and saw IT.
"Mother of Chickens!" Akko screamed.
"A Cockatrice! Brilliant! No one would ever suspect that!" Sucy Said sarcastically
A Cockatrice. A giant chicken with the tail of a snake, wings like that of a dragon and petrifying breath. If looked from afar, it would look harmless, but look closely, it can be what costed your life.
"Run!" Lotte shouted. They all followed the order.
The Cockatrice followed after them. They run and occasionally trip stones. The path way was quite dirty with mud all over it. Akko and Lotte, were screaming for help while Sucy just mixes something in her mouth.
Sucy looked back for a bit and sprayed Purple gas from her mouth. The Cockatrice ran into the gas. It coughed and coughed, stopping it in its path.
They cheered. Akko felt excitement and Lotte and Sucy felt relief. The Cockatrice spread it wings, flapping it, causing the gas to be blown by the wind.
The trio ran into a downward hill and slipped down. They all crashed on top of each other. The Cockatrice took flight on its wings. Fortunately, it didn't noticed Our three young witches.
"Leg's so sore." Lotte said as she grabbed her legs and massaged them for a bit.
"We have got to defeat that thing before it hurts the other Examinees" Akko spoke
"Huh, like you can. You can't even collect some simple mushrooms." Sucy said sarcastically. Sucy touched her right leg. She hissed for a bit when she touched it. A wound.
"The thing got my leg. I can only now sit here and do nothing." Sucy looked at the two. "Just leave me here."
"If we believe then we can. C'mon, we are going to get out there. Lotte, help me out" Akko said while striking a pose
Lotte nodded. Akko pulled up Sucy from the ground and Lotte supported her.
"Why would YOU help? I only did some weird mean things to you" Sucy asked
"My heart says that If I believe, then amazing things will happen." Akko said proudly. " even if NO one says I can, but if it's what I want, then I would do it. I just know that it's the right thing to do." Her eyes flashed like stars, her heart was golden and so was her aura.
They slowly walked up the slope. They almost slipped once, but managed to recover. They finally reached the top of the slope.
The three saw a little sprout on the ground. It grew some more vines.
"Not this again!" Akko exclaimed
But the plant didn't grew into a Mandrake. It sprouted a stick that was white, seven green marbles were aligned on it. A golden metal piece were on the top of the stick.
The stick shined like stars. They rod of legends, the Shiny Rod.
Akko watched in happiness and grabbed the Rod with one of her hand.
"Oh my god! It's the Shiny Rod!" Lotte said in bewilderment.
"I can't believe it" Sucy said in disbelief.
"Come on! We are stopping that chicken" Akko said as her eyes flashed with sparkles.
The Cockatrice was happily rampaging through the forest, chasing after any witches in sight. Akko and Lotte let Sucy lay down on a nearby tree. Akko ran to the Cockatrice, while Lotte takes care of Sucy's wound.
"Hey! hey! You big Hen!" Akko waved over to the chicken. It gladly responded and chased The brunette. Akko ran and looked around. She saw a bunch of Mandrake's in the distance.
She ran strongly without trips. Before she reached the Mandrake she hauled to a complete stop and looked at the Cockatrice in its eyes.
The Cockatrice ran at full speed at Akko. When it reached Akko, She ducked and ran under its massive body. The Cockatrice couldn't stopped fast enough and was now struggling at the grips of the Mandrakes.
"That should keep em busy" Akko walked back slowly. She felt Brave and Proud. She looked to see Sucy and Lotte. She waved to them, but it seems she wasn't waving back to her.
"Fern Pack!" That was what Akko heard. Wait, no. They couldn't mean that. So, she concluded to the only possible replacement, Turn Back!. So, she did and she saw The Cockatrice right in front of her. She felt fear surged through her veins. She looked at the Mandrakes and saw them turned to stone. Akko gulped.
Akko ran as fast as she could. Tiresome befell her. She could practically feel the Cockatrice's beak right behind her. She was scared.
Then the Cockatrice opened wide and was about to eat Akko, but she felt... Air. Swift flowing air. She opened her eyes to see Sucy, riding her broom with Akko on it.
"You owe me" The Alchemy Mouthed Girl said.
"Thank you, Sucy" Akko said with gratitude.
The Cockatrice stared at the two. It spreads its wings. It lifts off from the ground, coming fast at the two Examinees.
"Ahh! Sucy, Fly faster!" Akko screamed.
"I can only go this fast with two people." Sucy responded back.
The Cockatrice caught up with them. It grabbed the tail of the broom. The two girls screamed as they were being thrown around in the air. The broom broke, and the Cockatrice threw the two witches up high into the air.
"My broom!" Sucy shouted
They eventually start falling down. Akko could see many places in the Acturus Forest, she saw Lotte looking up at them, using her hands to cover up her mouth, the Cockatrice with its mouth opened wide, the other Examinees staring at the Cockatrice, Sucy screaming and the Shiny Rod in front of her.
This could be the end...
(Flashback/
Akko was sweating hard, her training was tiresome. She had went to the gym for exercising, the park for 4 hour jogging and 3 more for Getting all the weird trash out of a local forest nearby and to the bin, there were even fridges, microwaves and some sort of rectangle headed little grey robots.
At the end of the day, she would sit down at a bench and report the day to Shiny Chariot (In her "Ursula" Identity of course).
"So how was today?" Ursula Said as she handed Akko an apple.
"It was tiresome, I guess. Question, after all this training, what spell will I use first?" Akko took a bite out of the Apple.
"Oh. I guess it's time for the first word. The first word is a word you use to start your journey, Noctu Orfei Aude Fraetor. Remember it in your heart."
"Noctu.. Orfei Aude.. Fraetor." Akko repeated.
(Flashback End/
She felt like her body was shaking. She opened her eyes, Sucy was grabbing her, shaking her and telling her to wake up. She woke up to her full state of consciousness. She did what her heart felt wanted to do. She wanted to save all these Examinees.
She grabbed the Shiny Rod. Her eyes flashed like stars. Her arms was surrounded with a green astral glow.
"Noctu... Orfei.. Aude.. Fraetor!"The Shiny Rod shifted its structure and became the Bow that could vanquish Dragons, the Shiny Arc.
With all her remaining strength, she pulled the string. An Arrow of green energy formed in her hands. She knew what to do and she has to do it now!
"Shiny... Arc!" she let go of the string. The Arrow flew right into the Cockatrice's mouth. It bloated more and more. The Examinees, Lotte and Sucy watched in curiosity. It eventually blew big enough to explode in the air, bursting into streams of green and yellow. Everyone around watched in amazement from the lightshow.
A single Cockatrice feather was left in the Cockatrice's place.
"Heh... I... did.. It." Akko felt light headed. She felt her consciousness slipped away. She was knocked out from the mana drainage. She fell down with Sucy. Sucy grabbed the feather as they were falling down.
"Oh boy.. This is going to leave a mark" Sucy and Akko fell down.
But before she can feel the ground, she felt warmth. She looked to see a Big Faerie carrying her and Akko down to the ground carefully.
When they both reached the ground, Lotte thanked the Faerie.
"Oh Great Jennifer, I thought I was dead" Sucy hyperventilated. She looked to the Cockatrice feather. She calmed down.
"Oh, Sucy. That's... "
Akko was sleeping, with some bandages on her body. She was sleeping on a wooden bed with constellations carved into it. She woke up and looked at her surroundings.
The room was like an observatory, there was a desk across the room with maps of the stars and telescope on it. On the right of the table was a door. The ceiling were decorated with stars ad one big moon with a big telescope poking out of it.
"You seems to be feeling better now."
Akko looked to her right to see Ursula sitting next to her on a wooden stool with the shiny Rod in her hands.
"Absolutely, Chariot-Sensei. I feel better than the times I tried to fly a broom." Akko added
"You made a great first impression at the test today."
"What did I exactly do? I remembered that I had no points in the test. I don't remember exactly what happened."
"You used the first word to save other people and that's a great impression in my books and well, you did have one ingredient in your bag.
"Huh?"
"A Cockatrice feather, Rare and extremely useful. You had that in your bag. You passed with the mystery ingredient and I can only imagine how you got it."
(Flashback/
"Sucy, That's the Cockatrice's feather, why would you want it?" Lotte asked
"Don't you get it? This is the 'mystery ingredient' in the pamphlet. I am using this to get a spot in this school. They were really right, No one would expect 'This' to be the mystery ingredient." Sucy was about to put the feather in her bag.
"But,... Sucy." Sucy stopped her actions. Lotte turned to Akko.
Sucy looked at Akko. Her bag was empty. She felt a bit sorry. Sucy walked to the unconscious lass and put the feather into her bag.
"She owes me big time."
(Flashback ended/
"The Two... " Akko started tearing up.
"The Puce girl is getting medical attention at the nursery and the orange haired one is there with her, if you were wondering. They passed." Ursula showed Akko through a crystal ball.
"You passed Akko, You are in. This will be where you show yourself to the world. Welcome to Luna Nova"
Akko looked at Ursula and she looked back proudly.
"I'm proud of you and your mother will be, too."
Akko Felt happy tears on her face, she wiped them off with a handkerchief. She looked to through the the window at the top of the room, she saw the Big Dipper.
"My Witch... Academia."
