It wasn't long before the roar of the beast breaking away from the Mandrake.
Akko found a part of her stubbornly longing for the Cockatrice to just give up as she clung to Sucy and hoped that they'd defeat the odds and escape on one broom just as the giant bird behind them spewed fire from its mouth.
She felt fear crawl up faster than she could have ever believed up her spine; Atsuko hoped beyond hope that none of her two new friends could tell that she was an Omega and that her scent would continue to be muffled to the point of not being able to smell it.
Akko moved as if to swat the encroaching flame off of the broom that Lotte was in charge of yet did not make any swinging motions with the Shiny Rod as if she desired to protect it from the potential harm of an open flame.
The only real warning that they weren't alone with the Cockatrice was the faint smell of homegrown spices and the delicious smell of melted chocolate chips on homemade chocolate chip cookies and the softly voice of another witch.
It felt almost like the voice inside Akko's head that she'd never knew she had when she heard her speak next and found herself slowly listening to the witch that had to be a Beta with her subdued scent.
Just like Shiny Chariot before her, Akko released a powerful surge of magic; it was unlike what many would expect from a young witch like herself with no magical background before this point.
The portal surged around them as strong as the one that they came in on as they were sucked through it and to Luna Nova Academy.
Atsuko should have expected the harsh fall and the sudden onslaught of pain from it though a part of her became lost to the suddenly overwhelming scents around her as she sat up and stared.
Her heart rate escalated to a way too fast pace as her skin burned almost as if she were embarrassed by the situation when in all reality, she'd had her first real experience in a room crowded with Alphas and Betas.
The strong scents of the Alphas almost seemed to overshadow the now almost gentle scents of the two beside her as Akko gulped back all of the sudden confusing emotions enough to cheer though she'd deny it coming out a little weaker than she would have expected under the circumstances.
A room filled to the brim with unmated Alphas especially was hard to swallow when suddenly she felt vulnerable and almost longed for the simple touch from one of the many Alphas crammed into the room to the point that it was hard to distinguish one scent from another unless the person was right next to her.
Akko's head spun as she tried to remember to breathe through her mouth to avoid the embarrassing potential of her scent revealing itself to a whole room of the very witches that she longed to impress and prove herself to despite her class.
