"Sucy what exactly are you doing..." Kenji deadpanned lifting his head up from the book he was reading laying across Sucy's bed.

"I'm trying to see if I can actually make a potion from someone's hair," She replied nonchalantly plucking another hair off Akko's sleeping head.

'To me it just looks like your trying to make Akko bald...'

Lotte jumped up from her bed in response to Sucy, "Sucy you can't make Akko fall asleep and ten use her for your experiments!" She huffed taking the plucking device from her hands.

"Your no fun besides I didn't do anything she fell asleep after today's lesson," Sucy explained swirling the potion around as it became a light blue colour.

"Yeah, about that have either of you noticed how much Diana has turned her attention from belittling Akko to me," Kenji sighed sitting up from the bed.

"It's probably because you shut her up a couple days ago when the dragons took the sorcerer's stone," Sucy suggested smugly grinning at Kenji knowing he couldn't see it.

"How long is she exactly planning to hold a grudge against me I thought she was the prim and proper type," Kenji slammed his book in frustration, "I mean all I did was tell her off a bit what's so wrong with that?!"

"T-To be fair Kenji you did yell for a while at her,"

"Yeah, yeah I know I'm just trying to make up for my own actions speaking of, school starts so I should probably get going," Kenji brought up his phone screen lighting up the dark room.

As Kenji reached for the handle the door was swung open revealing Diana, Hannah, Barbara and Professor Finnelan standing in the doorway, "See like I told you Professor he's in their room past dark," Diana spoke up pointing her lit up wand at him.

"What exactly is the meaning of this I believe we told you and misconduct or actions that you commit with the girls will mean immediate suspension," Finnelan explained.

'This is bad this is probably Diana's petty way of getting back at me'

"Kenji was helping me out with the assignment Professor Lukic gave us we have to make a certain type of potions and explain what they do," Sucy lied speaking as dryly as possible.

'S-She's too good at lying!'

"Yeah she's right besides I don't remember you saying I couldn't go to the girls room especially if they let me," Kenji aggressively nodded cockily adding his own input, "Also how did you even know that I was in hear Diana were you spying on me?"

Diana visibly flinched quickly regaining her composure coughing into her hand, "Hannah and Barbara just happened to be walking the halls and they saw you entering this room that's all," She explained with her face slightly red and sweat dripping down her forehead.

'She's clearly lying...'

"Well if that's all you have to say then me and Sucy have to get back to our assignment," Kenji explained about to close the door when Sucy dropped a single drop of the blue potion from before spreading a swarm of brown hair sprouting from the carpet quickly filling the room.

"Oh it even has some mushrooms in with what I mixed," Sucy admired the hair that was quickly filling up the room.

"NOT THE TIME SUCY GET RID OF IT!" Kenji yelled pulling the growing hair off his neck as he was pushed up into the ceiling.

The mauve haired girl gave no response her eyes still gripped on the hair, "SUCY!"


"There's still some hair in my ear," Kenji grimaced pulling at the brown hair throwing it in the bin next to him, "You could've helped us a lot quicker you know Sucy,"

"Yeah but I needed all those samples," She responded as drool escaped her lips.

'How can she be so obsessed with mushroom's its weird'

"You know Kenji I may not be a mind reader yet but I can tell your thinking something mean about me aren't you!" Sucy spoke up threatening as she held a potion over his head.

"N-No I don't know w-what your talking abou- wait what do you mean yet!?"

Lotte pushed in-between the two dragging them as she quickened her pace heading to class, "Honestly I can't tell if you two enjoy your arguments with each other or not."

"Hey wait where's Akko?" Kenji questioned.

"I eventually woke her up but you know how she is the morning if we don't wake her atleast 2 hours before class she most likely be late," Lotte answered a look of shame across her face.

'I...no what am I thinking I don't want to know'

The trio stumbled into class silently making there way to their seats seeing that the lesson had already started, "Now that...everyone is here I can finally talk about what I wanted to, like it has every term today we be the start of you 3-day plant assignment contest," Professor Badcock explained.

'Eh an assignment...please let it be a group assignment please let it be a group assignment!'

"You'll be working in groups of 2-"

"YES!" Kenji bellowed out loud pumping his fist into the air.

'Shit I was meant to say that in my head'

"Well you sure seem enthused Mr. Otsuka especially considering you didn't do your last assignment," Miss Badcock mocked as the class erupted into a small laughter.

'Yeah...Yeah I deserved that'

As Professor Badcock continued her explanation, Kenji turned to Sucy, "So I take it were forming a group?"

"I don't know I could get to distracted by mushrooms," Sucy replied sarcastically jokingly turning her head away from him.

'Yeah as if she's a tsundere'

"C'mon Sucy we both know your potion expertise is what I need!" Kenji slightly exclaimed putting his hands together in a begging pose.

"Alright alright fine don't make it weird your starting to sound like Akko."

'Wait what about Lotte'

Kenji hang his head in guilt sadly placing his hand on the ginger haired girls shoulder, "I'm so sorry for your loss."

"W-Wait K-Kenji what are you talking about," Lotte stammered blushing at the sudden contact.

'Having to work with Akko I truly don't pity her, I'll probably go to hell for forsaking Lotte with this burden...'

"I'll also be choosing your groups so you all don't have a chance of getting off easy with your friends," Professor Badcock explained, Kenji dropped down to his seat in disbelief.

'N-No please this is what I get isn't it for throwing Lotte underneath the bus'

"Hey I shouldn't worry maybe luck will be shined down on me, oh who am I kidding only three people in this class like me all the other girls think I'm weird it's over!" Kenji lightly sobbed to himself slamming his head onto his desk.

"Uh oh Kenji's lost it..." Sucy sighed picking the brunette up by his hair.

"Your really overreacting it's not gonna be that bad your pretty sociable s-"

"Diana Cavendish we've decided to pair you with Kenji Otsuka," Professor Badcock explained as Sucy and Lotte panicked trying to put Kenji's soul back into his body.


"Unforgiveable after all I've done for Luna Nova and they treat me like this," Diana murmured to herself angrily biting on her nails.

"Why don't you tone it down a little I'm not exactly enjoying this either..." Kenji sighed rubbing his now red forehead after it'd been wacked by a stick Diana and flicked in his face.

'If I get the chance to ditch this girl I'll do it'

"Look let's just get this over with so I don't have to be with you for any longer," Diana brought up using her wand to pick one of the plants up from the ground placing it in a jar.

'Man she really hates me she didn't even look at me'

"Diana by any chance are you still upset with what happened last chapt- I mean when the dragons took the sorcerers stone?" Kenji broke the ice going to tap the girl shoulder only for it to be slapped away.

"I'm not one to hold grudges I simply just don't like it your a boy and a boy staying Luna Nova is bad for our school," Diana explained still not facing him.

Kenji decided to shut his mouth following after the blonde placing the jars she levitated over to him into a small basket they were given, 'God this is boring can we at least have some form of a conversation.'

"Hey Dian-"

"Quiet if we're too loud the plant will go back into the ground," Diana held her hand out gesturing for him to stay quiet.

'Eh a moving plant I thought this was a normal assignment!'

Diana quickly pulled on the plant with her magic digging her heels into the ground as they started sinking into the floor, 'Shit she'll get dragged in if she keeps pulling any longer'

Suddenly, Kenji wrapped his arms around Diana's waist stopping her from sinking any further into the ground, "Do it now pull it out or we'll both get dragged in!" He pleaded feeling his feet being dragged in by the plants roots.

Ignoring her own embarrassment, she gritted her teeth swinging her arms up the plant being ripped from off the roots stopping the two from falling into the ground any further.

"Huh that's done and dealt with are you ok Diana?"

"I didn't ask for your help ok I was doing perfectly fine on my own!" Diana exclaimed brushing off the dirt off of her uniform putting the plant in one of the jars.

'I like a tsundere as much as the next weeb but this is too extreme'

"Diana is it really that hard to say thank you even I'm not stubborn..." Kenji sighed watching her face turn even more aggressive.

"I don't need to thank you for anything don't get cocky your just someone who's living at Luna Nova for free!" Diana snapped picking up the basket herself marching off.

Kenji chased after her not realizing how they were getting farther away from the school, "C'mon why are you so angry with me I didn't really have a choice with getting here did I besides you would've dragged into the ground stop being so stubborn," Kenji argued catching up to her.

"That's not the point your just so arrogant thinking you can do and say what you want can you just stay behind me I'll complete the assignment and then we can go back to class," Diana retorted speed-walking off deeper into the forest.

"Hey wait were not done talking don't just walk off, you are angry with what I said the other day look I'm sorr-"

"Just be quiet alright be quiet I don't need to talk to someone who thinks he can do what he wants your just like Akko but at least she got into the school," Diana growled stopping where she stood glaring at him.

"Hey I'll admit I don't try as hard as you I wouldn't even want but you could at least try not to follow the preppy rich girl trope and at least be nice and not acting like your better than everyone!" Kenji bit back getting into her face.

"What I'm someone of the Cavendish family I have to keep myself composed and formal I'm sorry I don't run around causing a mess like Akko and her friends but you wouldn't mind because your just like her!"

"Composed and condescending are too different things, I'm not saying I could be like you with how hard you work but someone in your shoes should at least show some sort of self-control that why I told you off when you yelled at Akko and Amanda just because they wanted to do the right thing!" Kenji yelled oblivious to the vines wrapping round his leg.

'Why do I feel like there's blood rushing to my head..'

"I only told them off because- huh wait what's happening.." Diana cut herself off tugging at her feet trying to get herself out.

"Use your magic to get us out you can't be expecting me to do this..." Kenji grunted struggling to loosen the vines around him.

Diana didn't have a chance to grab when the two were thrusted forward their eyes meeting the large bulb like plant rooted in the ground, "Were gonna die aren't we...well that's a shame," Kenji sighed sounding uninterested.

"N-No you shouldn't say that Luna Nova wouldn't have a dangerous plant on the school grounds."

"Well I don't think we're on the school grounds..." Kenji pointed out.

The two were suddenly thrown into the plant creature's mouth, 'I'm gonna die I'm gonna die don't let me die without seeing if my dad will come back' Kenji thought before everything quickly went black.

Kenji opened his eyes sluggishly picking himself off the ground, "Uh oh are we alive did you do something to get us out Dian-" Kenji stopped speaking noticing the difference in his voice from before.

'I almost sound like a girl..'

He immediately began patting himself down blushing as he quickly caught on to what had happened, 'What did I just touch what did I just tou-'

"What happened I just blacked out did that plant spit us out?" A familiar voice spoke up

'Ah shit...'

Turning to face the presumed Diana, he confirmed it for himself, 'Yep we've body swapped...'


"I bet your enjoying yourself aren't you Kenji," Sucy snickered enjoying the red blush on his face.

"You think I'm enjoying this I don't want to be in Diana's body!" Kenji retorted his voice turning high pitched.

"I don't know I think your kinda cute like this Kenji it's funny to see Diana look so nervous," Akko teased playing with Diana's hair.

'Why didn't we just go to the teachers this is so embarrassing if I get the chance I'll bring them back to that forest'

"Akko stop playing with my hair you'll get it tangled, uh why am I so sweaty," Diana groaned slightly grimacing as she held onto Kenji's body.

'Oh god this is so weird'

"S-So what are you two gonna do to switch back?" Lotte questioned shyly from the top of her bunk bed.

"Well it was that plant that switched me and Kenji so my guess is we have to look for it and go back through it although it could be dangerous if someone sees us," Diana replied, Kenji slightly cringed hearing his voice sound so femine.

"I completely agree whatever credit I have in this school will be gone if they see me with my hands on my hips talking like that," Kenji sighed placing his hands on the bridge of his nose.

"Oh I don't know I kind of like you like this Kenji," Sucy joked a big sharp grin on her face.

"Then let's me and you switch bodies Sucy!"

Diana sighed walking over to the door, "Alright I've had enough talking to you to we only headed back here because we couldn't find the plant so let's go look for it if I spend anymore time in Kenji's body I'm scared I'll become like him," She mocked a slight smile appearing on her face.

'Hey hey don't go pulling such a smug look with my face!'

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, "Ah Diana you are in here perfect you've probably already finished your assignment with him so let's get going," Hannah explained lightly pulling Diana out of the room.

"A-Ah w-wait where are we going?" Kenji stammered blushing at the sudden contact.

"Huh what do you mean you said you were going to give a presentation to our class with your magic," Barbara replied raising her eyebrows.

'...Shit'

"W-We haven't finished the assignment yet we couldn't find the plant you see so we'll have to keep looking," Diana spoke up sweat dripping profusely down her forehead.

'Alright how to sound like Diana like Diana'

"Yes he is correct we sadly couldn't locate the last plant in the assignment but it was mainly Kenji's fault he was wasting our time," Kenji added trying to sound as formal as possible.

Kenji flinched feeling Diana digging her glare through him, "Well alright then it makes sense that he would hold you back we'll go tell the girls but you should probably head by later," Hannah nodded her head in understanding walking off with Barbara.

"Ahhhhhh alright...we really need to find that plant," Kenji exhaled dropping back onto Sucy's bed loosening the braid Akko had tied.

"Heyyyy don't ruin it Kenji this is the only time I'll get to do this with Diana's hair so I'll make the most of it," Akko pouted jumping up behind Kenji beginning to tie his hair again.

"Yeah there's a slight problem with finding that plant..." Sucy interrupted holding out an open page in one of her books.

"The only plant that I can see that is a lot like the you explain is the Avelio, its one of the only plant that has its own magic source probably more than Akko and Kenji put together," Sucy explained.

"Was the last part really necessary?" Kenji commented.

"Stop being a bully Sucy!" Akko exclaimed flailing her arms about in a rage.

Diana smacked the both of them on the head stopping them from talking, "Alright ignoring Kenji's weirdly strong hands what the problem with finding the plant?"

"Well that's just it you have until the end of today where the both of you have to go back through the plant or else you'll have to wait another year before you can get a chance to switch back," Sucy finished anxiously closing the book.

"Alright let's get going then," Diana sat up storming out of the room.

"U-U-Um can y-you w-wait a minute I k-kind of need to...go to the bathroom," Kenji turned bright red gripping his skirt.


"You better not have looked!" Diana threatened pulling on his ears.

"How can I you made me cast a spell on myself where my eyes were permanently shut!" Kenji bellowed shoving her wand blindly in her face.

"Alright just repeat the spell and you'll be able to see again," Diana explained failing to hold in her own laughter.

'She's enjoying this isn't she.'

"Diana there you are let's get going you still have your presentation to give out," Hannah suddenly appeared grabbing Kenji by the wrist pulling him away from Diana before she could do anything about it.

'Shit what do I do if I run away now it'll cause a problem!'

Kenji was thrusted in front of a group of students waiting in anticipation, "Wait what spells am I supposed to be doing again?" He questioned slowly pulling out Diana's wand.

"We said that you'd perform some strong spells that no one else good do don't worry Diana your a cavendish so this'll be easy for you," Hannah explained like it was nothing.

'I'm...I'm so screwed'

"Hey, hey Kenji try saying Aros Tares Feriare," Diana murmured hiding behind the doorway.

'Luckily I know that won't make a fool of myself because I'm in Diana's body'

"Aros Tares Feriare!" Kenji announced swinging the wand in his creating a small force around the room pulling all the objects towards it changing the gravity.

'Ohhhhh so this is what it's like to be able to perform magic'

"That's Diana for you she's incredible,"

"I could never perform I spell like that!"

"Let's see some more amazing spells from Diana!"

'What more...'

"Uhhhhhhh I'm so tired you were really gonna do all those spells just for a performance?" Kenji groaned holding himself up against the wall.

"Don't act so sluggish if anyone sees me it'll be a bad example," Diana scolded him gently pulling him up clearly not wanting to harm her own body, "Now let's head back to the forest I don't want to be in this body for much longer, uh why are you so sweaty..." She shivered from disgust awkwardly moving down the hallway.

"Same here this just feels incredibly uncomfortable and so, so wrong."

Kenji went to ran down the hallway before he was grabbed by Diana, "What do you think you doing everyone is staring at you, don't ruin my reputation!" She yelled before slowly coughing seeing the amount of eyes on the two.

"Uh what is that boy doing," A student grimaced to her friend.

"I know did you hear that Diana got paired with him I feel bad."

"I still can't believe Luna Nova would let a boy into the school could he just leave already."

"Uh Diana what are you standing around for, you don't wanna be in my body for another year do you?" Kenji questioned making her catch up to him.

"Does it not bother you?"

"What do you mean?" Kenji replied trying to change his posture to more suit Diana.

"They all talk about you apart from Akko and the girls she's friends with I don't think anyone really wants you hear," Diana explained glancing to the girls whispering and glancing at her.

"Not really if I'm being honest I used to get teased or mocked a lot on school and I've kinda gotten used to just making myself the butt of the joke or just being used to it so it doesn't really effect me, one thing that I actually took from my mum is that no one's opinion matter but your own, eh that may have been a bit to preachy for me," Kenji explained mumbling under his breath.

Diana kept her mouth shut seemingly letting the words sit for a couple seconds, "What's with that doubtful look on your face," Kenji lightly smacked himself on the head sighing on the impact, "Let's just get going before we start arguing again wouldn't that be just as cliche as today has been."

"Yeah...ok," Diana gave a small smile following after him.


'Dammit why did it turn out this way..'

"Diana give me a spell any spell will do please your body is perfect for spells like this!" Kenji pleaded Diana's prim and proper voice turning hoarse from how much he was screaming.

"D-Don't say it like that coming from you it sounds wrong!" Diana yelled back jumping over a vine that had shot out from the ground lunging at her.

Kenji managed to dodge another vine that had burst from the ground trying to wrap around his body, "Diana a spell please any spell please!" Kenji exclaimed running away from the plant managing to tie it around a tree.

"Alright stop panicking it's a spell I demonstrated in class before its-"

Before she could finish, Diana was whipped in the stomach smacking into a nearby tree, "Diana!"

'Shit that plant isn't trying to grab us anymore in fact it's trying to keep us away now'

The vines began encircling Diana preparing to throw her out of the forest, 'What was the spell Diana demonstrated dammit why don't I pay attention in class!'

'Was it Kertana Sysomething...or Kertina Sys'

It was almost as if a lightbulb switched on in Kenji's head as he pulled out Diana's skirt pocket aiming it at the swarm of plant tendrils grabbing at Diana, "Kertina Syshare!" An arrow of fire shot out from the wind piercing through the plant vines completely burning then.

"Diana are you ok?" Kenji asked gasping for air.

'I feel like I'm about to keel over and die how does Diana perform magic so easily...'

"Kenji get up the plants appeared we have to hurry!" Diana cut him off lightly smacking the back of his head.

"Huh what did you say?"

"I said we had to get moving."

"No I just mean you called me by my name," Kenji replied struggling to pick himself up.

"W-Why wouldn't I what else do you want me to call you?"

"No it's just since recently you haven't call me by my name," He explained finally standing properly walking towards the plant.

Diana moved her blushing face turning it away from Kenji, 'This may have awakened a new fetish in me'

"Look Kenji you need to perform some basic wind magic that won't knock you out then we can get in through the top of the plant and we should switch back

Diana explained getting a firm nod in response from Kenji.

The two darted forward, with Kenji barely avoiding several of them using Diana's magic to scarcely jump over or manoeuvre around them, "Diana you ready?" He asked pointing the wand at the floor the two launching into the air above the plant.

They dived into the top of the plant once again falling into the water inside it beginning to fall unconscious, 'This chapter...better be over soon'


Kenji opened his eyes yet again finding himself on the ground, "Am I still in Diana's body?" He asked to himself glancing at his hands.

"Can you not recognise your own voice honestly," Diana teased from behind him.

'Well that answers that question'

"I can I was just hoping I didn't have to do this all over again," Kenji explained jumping up from the ground.

'Wait...'

Kenji and Diana looked at each other in a moment of realization, "All of the plants that we collected got completely wrecked the first time we came here," Sighing the brunette tugged on his hair in frustration.

"Well I suppose we'll just have to go find some more than the assignment is due by tomorrow," Diana pointed out slyly smiling through her hand that was covering her face.

"Well someone of the preppy Cavendish family can't be failing assignment's can they?" Kenji joked a smug smile on his face.

"Oh really well if we did fail I guess it would keep your streak going."

The two walked off both of them leaving smug remarks at each other, "Um Diana where exactly are we?"

"I don't know I think we went too far into the woods looking for the plant."

'...Shit'

(They managed to escape after a grueling 2 hours of strolling through the woods)
