[XV] 2/3 - [VII] 2 - [II] 2
Akko awoke with a groan, rubbing her eyes as she let out a deep sigh. She turned her bleary gaze towards the alarm clock, squinting as she checked the time. 5:57 am.
"Yeah, I need to cut back on Dormina," she thought.
Lotte and Sucy woke a few minutes later, both in a similar state.
"Well, no way I'm getting back to sleep," the gloomy witch yawned. "Guess it's back to my research. Kekeke, I can't wait to see what it'll yield."
"I guess I can use the extra hours to make my cosplay better." Lotte muttered.
"Cosplay?"
"Yeah, remember the Night Fall convention?" Lotte said with excitement. "Everyone I know who's going is definitely going to dress up! And I want to as well!" She returned her gaze to her costume. "Hmm… it could use a bit more work…"
Sucy reached under the bed and tossed Lotte some cash. "Yesterday's pay. Take my share too."
"S-Sucy…?"
"Don't give me that look. That much doesn't really mean anything to me, especially now with the Cognitive World."
"Oh? Sucy are you secretly really wealthy too?" Akko inquired.
"You know how the pharmaceutical industry is swimming in cash? Well, finding and creating exotic poisons is the magical equivalent," Sucy shrugged. "I earn a lot of money and my competitors are near non-existent. That's why I didn't bat an eye when I paid to attend Luna Nova, because that cockatrice's poison would've made any investment worth it."
"Whoa…" Akko muttered. "Why don't you have any competitors though?"
"Isn't it obvious? Poison collecting is dangerous. The monsters and insects you need to milk for their venom are likely to kill you before you even get the chance. Poisonous plants and mushrooms could kill you the moment you pluck them. A few hundred poison collectors kick the bucket every year. It's a high risk high reward profession." Sucy casually said, ignoring the shocked faces of her friends. "Although most of the casualties are due to plain stupidity. So, just natural selection at work I suppose."
"And we could've joined that number if Akko wasn't a Persona user…" Lotte muttered. A heavy silence settled over the girls before Akko spoke up.
"This can't do, Sucy!" Akko stood up and pointed at the gloomy witch. "The next time you go collecting dangerous poisons, we're coming too! We refuse to let you put yourself in danger!"
"Ahm… sure." Sucy shrugged. "I mean, I have super powers now so I can take care of myse-"
Akko was in front of her in an instant, her hand covering her lips cutting off the rest of her sentence.
"No. Buts." the brunette stated. "You're our friend Sucy! And friends look after each other no matter what! You hear me?!"
After a few moments of eye contact Sucy sighed and shook her head, a ghost of a blush dusting her cheeks. With a mirthful smile she pushed Akko away. "I get it, I get it." Then she lightly smiled underneath notice. "I'm counting on you then."
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ [XV] Devil Rank 2 Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
"Anyway, thanks, Sucy." Lotte said, flicking through the money. "I'll put this to good use!"
Akko hummed in thought before a lightbulb lit up in her head. "Actually, I know someone with a lot of cosplay experience! How about I go ask her for some tips? Maybe you can meet her too, Lotte!"
"Let me guess, over at Japan?" Sucy asked. "I like how crossing continents is just trivial now.
"Thank you so much Akko!" Lotte cheered. "This Night Fall event is going to be so great!"

Sucy and Lotte left to prepare themselves, leaving Akko alone in the room.
"Thou suggest using this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the school's grounds," Aradia chimed in. "It is as the residents of the Velvet Room said; look for more people to bond with, and expand the power of the Wild Card. Take advantage of your free time while you have it."
"Gee Aradia, you act like making friends is a full time job." Akko grumbled. "But yeah you are right. This last week was so busy, I didn't even have time to check out the school!" She gazed out the open window, the morning sun's rays illuminating the hall. "Let's go see what Luna Nova is really like in the morning!"

Luna Nova Sport Field, 6:30am
Aradia shattered away as Akko dropped down from the sky.
The sports field was effectively a large soccer field, with magically reinforced grass carpeting its expanse.
"Did I come too early?" Akko thought as she look for signs of other students, "There should be a club doing their morning practice, right?"
Then she spotted someone in the distance. She was dressed in a dark pink jumpsuit, with dark blue hair...
"Hey! Professor Ursula!" Akko waved, eagerly running over.
"Huh?" The young teacher stopped to address her student. "Akko? What are you doing out this early?"
"Oh nothing. I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep." the brunette replied, "What about you?"
"Just a bit of running," the young teacher answered. "I have to keep myself fit. I can't be your professor if I let myself go now can I?"
"Oh right! You are an Umbra Witch! Aradia did say they really hate being fat…"
Ursula paused for a second. "... That's part of it, but I do like doing morning exercise. Coming out for some nice morning sun and fresh air does wonders for you."
"Of course, Professor Ursula!" Akko cheered. "Hey? Can I join you?"
"You want to, Akko?"
"Well, maybe for like ten minutes. I'm running around campus to get a better feel for it right now, but yeah! I would love to run with you for a bit, Professor Ursula!"
The teacher smiled. "Well then, Akko, let's-"
"Hey. Guess I'm not the only one who fancy's a morning jog huh?"
The duo turned to find another student with long, bright red hair standing just a bit taller than Akko. The moment the girl recognized Akko, she gasped with surprise. "T-The demon Chariot fan!?"
"Hey~" Akko waved back, "Looks like the rumor got worse… but I am not a demon. The name's Atsuko Kagari! You can call me Akko for short!"
"... the name's Sarah, Sarah Bernard," the girl introduced. "So... you out running?"
"Yeah! Want to join us? Although I have to go in ten minutes, maybe you can keep Professor Ursula company afterward?"
Sarah hummed before nodding. "Alright! Let's see what you and the Professor got then!"
As time passed, three laps were run around the field.
Sarah lightly panted, wiping the sweat from her brow. "You got some amazing stamina, Akko. That was a good run."
"Oh, thanks~ you too!"
"Huh. You summon such strange things, but you're definitely nothing like what the rumors say." She frowned, gathering her thoughts. "I can tell just by how you run, Akko, you're not a bad person. Sorry about my rudeness earlier."
"It's fine~"
"I guess we'll part ways for now," Sarah said. "But I always jog in the mornings, so come around if you feel like having a running partner~!"
"I'll be doing this more often as well," Ursula smiled. "It's a shame the school doesn't have a track and field club, but having a little morning exercise group seems like fun."
"Alright! Thanks Sarah, thanks Professor Ursula! See you guys some other time!" With that, Akko left for another part of the school.
Sarah turned to the teacher, "I heard from my older sisters that Luna Nova had an amazing teacher, she's you isn't it? Because you are the only one that fits that description."
Ursula sighed. "I wouldn't go that far… I'm just doing my job." she pointed to the tracks. "Want to run another lap? I haven't even broken a sweat yet."
Sarah's smiled and nodded, already getting in a starting position.

Luna Nova Central Courtyard, 6:45am
After some walking, Akko arrived at the courtyard in the center of the building.
"Yo, Akko!"
The brunette looked up to find Amanda descending down on her broom.
"Can't sleep either?"
"Yeah, but no biggie," the red head shrugged, "I like the occasional morning flight anyway."
"So... how's Jasminka?"
"She's gone back to being an airhead, just like Sucy said she would," Amanda sighed. "She's been pigging out in the cafeteria all morning. What about you, what's up?"
"Oh nothing, didn't get the chance to tour Luna Nova before so I am doing it now." Akko cheerfully said.
Amanda gave her a weird look. "Uh… why? This place is old and lame. Why would you waste your time like that?"
"Oh don't be like that, Amanda," the brunette replied. "This is Luna Nova! The best magic school on earth! Yeah their lessons can get boring but I'm sure there's something cool here!"
"Alright but don't say I didn't warn you." Amanda said, not even trying to hide her skepticism.
"By the way, Amanda. Can we meet again tomorrow?" Akko asked. "I want to try riding a broom again."
"You mean watch you jump up and down for an hour? Sure, why not?" the redhead teased. "Besides, even if you do manage to stay in the air, I'm still gonna leave you in the dust."
"Are you talking about the upcoming relay?" Akko asked. With a grin, she pointed a finger at Amanda and declared, "You say that now, but mark my words I'll fly right past you and get first place!"
"Whatever you say," the redhead retorted, mounting her broom. "See ya later, Akko." With that, she flew off.
"Now... where else to go~?" Akko mused as she left the courtyard.
Unbeknownst to either of them, a gaggle of students gossiped amongst themselves.
"What's Amanda O'neill doing talking with her?!"
"I don't know but they seemed pretty friendly…"
"Hmph. She's probably just taking pity on her. No way the great Amanda is actually friends with someone like her..."

Akko wandered about the rest of the morning. It was slow, uneventful, barley anyone came to actually talk to her. Not that she could blame them, what with that display at the entrance ceremony and all.
"See what you did, Aradia!" the brunette mentally fumed. "They're terrified of me!"
"What's done is done," Aradia shrugged. "But do not let their wariness dissuade you. Instead of sulking you should find a way to dispel it."
"Don't try to shift the topic!" Akko hung her head and sighed. "But you're right... My problem is how…" Akko mulled that train of thought in her head over and over as she made her way to the cafeteria. "Well whatever, for now let's just meet with everyone for breakfast."
Scanning her general vicinity, spotted Diana's team. Noticing that the ace student had already cleared two trays of foods, Akko grabbed her own tray and went over to greet them with a smile.
"Hey Diana-"
Diana leveled a glare at her, causing a chill to run down her back.
"I-I mean, Diana-senpai. Good morning."
Pulling down her eating utensils, the ace student smiled at her new title and addressed her. "Good morning to you too, Akko. You and your teammates are welcome to sit at our table.
"What did you just call Diana? And do you have to sit here again, Kagari?" If Barbara had any more venom in her tone she would have poisoned the whole school.
"Why do I get the feeling both you both don't like me very much?"
"Because we don't, idiot." Hannah snapped. "Just because Diana, for some reason, likes you doesn't mean we have to. That's her prerogative."
"Okay…" Akko trailed off before putting back on a smile. "Its fine though. I'm sure if we just talk things out we'll be great friends!"
"Please. Who would ever want to be friends with a l-"
Diana cleared her throat, interrupting Barbara.
The irritated girl looked away from Akko with a "tsk" as Diana spoke. "Please excuse their rudeness Akko. And while you're here, might I ask if you have some time this week?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing." the brunettes said. "Remember what you said about tutoring?"
"Oh…!" Diana's smile widened. "Very well. Equivalent exchange. Not to mention it's a senpai's duty to their kohai... That's what the Japanese say, correct?"
Akko nodded. "Thanks! Please take care of me Diana-senpai!"
"I've adjusted my schedule to have more personal time." the British girl smiled. "So come speak to me when you wish to practice."
As the duo discussed the finer details of their arrangement, Lotte and Sucy joined them. "What are you two planning?"

The day went by as normal, and by the time Akko got back to the dorm she was dead tired. Akko groaned as she face planted onto her bed. "Those Moonrunes are going to be the death of me! Why do they have to make everything so complicated!?"
"It can't be helped, there are only the nine hags to blame," Aradia commented. "The Lunar Alphabet is too ingrained into modern magic, much like how English has its roots in Latin. You'll just have to suck it up and learn because without this knowledge casting any future spells will become almost impossible." the false goddess chided. "You have thy work cut out for you, Shining Star."
"Can you try making it as fun as your English and Astrology lessons," Akko begged.
"Thou shalt do what I can," her main Persona sighed. "But if you insist on learning alongside Diana, you should at least have a basic understanding. Efficiency is key to success afterall."
"Thanks Aradia! You're the best," Akko thought with a smile.
Poking her head from under her bunk, Akko called out to Lotte. "Hey, are you studying? Want to do it together?"

The next day after school, Akko met up with Amanda for more broom practice. Well, as much as hopping around while Amanda flew laps around her could be considered practice, that is.
"TIA FREYRE!" the brunette screamed on last time, her voice hoarse. "It's not… working..."
Amanda flew down, giving Akko a look. "You know… you could just say screw it and fly around on your Personas. Why not just do that?"
"No way," Akko grunted. "If I'm going to be anything like Shiny Chariot then I can't just let my Personas do all the heavy lifting! And that means flying on a broom!"
"Huh, is that so..." the redhead smiled. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around that, Akko. Has it ever occurred to you that you're trying to be the successor to the laughing stock of the Magical World?"
"Is that so bad?" Akko replied. "Shiny chariot brought wonder and joy to the masses. She was a source of inspiration and happiness to so many people. It's my dream to be just like her one day and if that makes me a laughing stock then so be it!"
"Huh, when you put it that way…" Amanda pondered.
"Hey Amanda? What's your dream?" Akko asked. "I told you mine, so now it's your turn."
"My dream huh?" she mused. Her dream huh, just what was it. She let the question roll around in her head before giving her answer. "Just to be free I guess. I didn't think that far ahead to be honest. I'm the kind of girl that lives for the moment. One day at a time, ya know?"
"Freedom?" Akko asked, lightly elbowing her friend. "Aren't you the daughter of some really wealthy family or something? You've gotta want more than that."
The redhead scoffed at that, shaking her head as her face scrunched up, almost as if she has tasted something particularly sour. She took a deep breath and sighed, calming herself down before she continued. "Look, I don't give a shit about my family and what they do. Can we like not bring this up, like ever?" she looked at Akko seriously. "I'm just Amanda O'neil, simple as that."
Seeing how it was a sore subject, Akko let it drop. "Alright," she said, "but if you ever want to talk about it, I am all ears." She placed a hand on Amanda's shoulder, giving it a reaffirming squeeze. "I am your friend, Amanda. No matter what it is, even if it's just to vent, I'll be there for you."
"Thanks. I appreciate it," Amanda answered with an honest smile. The two sat there, sharing a comfortable silence before Amanda spoke up once more. "Alright Akko, since you aren't getting off the ground on your own any time soon, hop on back and let me show you how its done.
"Sweet!" Akko exclaimed, "Thanks Amanda!"
The red head chuckled and rubbed her nose, a cocky smile adorning her face.

Later that week, a curious Akko followed Sucy to scout out Luna Nova's forest.
"Not bad," Sucy commented as she threw a colorful mushroom into her basket. "They weren't lying about Luna Nova's fertile grounds."
"Are these the ones you wanted Sucy?" Akko asked, presenting her basket. "I found so many of them!"
Sucy eyed the basket and quickly set about sorting them.
"Useless, useless, food, useless, non-toxic…"
In a matter of minutes, Akko's basket had been reduced to only a few fungi that Sucy added to her basket. The rest were left behind on the forest floor.
"Oh…" the Japanese girl muttered with disappointment. "I guess mine wasn't all that impressive, huh?"
"Pretty much, but not bad for a first timer," Sucy deadpanned. "Just remember not to touch your mouth or eyes until we get back to the dorm. And make sure to wash your hands, unless you want to sleep in the infirmary tonight."
Akko paused as she was about to rub her eyes, looked at her hands, and slowly put them back down.
"Kekeke. That will teach you to not just pick whatever next time," Sucy commented.
"By the way, Sucy. Why do you like mushrooms so much?"
"Why do you like Shiny Chariot?" Sucy replied, annoyed at such a question. "Everyone has something they're passionate about. And with how many different mushrooms and toxins I've been exposed to over the years, I've picked up a few tricks."
Without batting an eye, Sucy stuck her thumb into her mouth.
"S-Sucy!"
"Relax. I've built up a resistance to weaker poisons. So they are just seasoning at this point." After a few seconds of Sucy not dropping dead, she smirked at Akko. "See?"
"Wow…! That's amazing!" Akko cheered. "Does it run in your family?"
"... Nah, just me."
"Huh? But wouldn't you parents have the same resistance as you do?" Akko questioned
"I wouldn't know." Sucy mumbled, "Oh, would you look at the time. Thanks for coming along, Akko. It was fun I guess."
"Sucy…" Akko frowned before smiling again. "Me too, Sucy! If you want to pick mushrooms again, come tell me!"
A ghost of a smile made its way on Sucy's lips. "I'll be sure to do that."
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ [XV] Devil Rank 3 Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Sucy walked away, leaving Akko to watch her exit the forest clearing.
"Somethings troubling Sucy… Is it something related to her family?" Akko pondered. Lilim and Vetala silently agreed.

Another afternoon, in an empty classroom, Diana met up with Akko for some tutoring.
"Are you sure you don't need me to go over Lunar Alphabet?"
"No thanks senpai!" Akko reassured. "Aradia and I got it!"
Diana eyed Akko for a bit. With a wave of her wand, a few words written in the Lunar Alphabet scrawled themselves across the board. "Well then, if that's the case then you shouldn't have too hard of a time reading this now, would you?"
A bead of sweat rolled down her face as she stared at the board. "Uhh… Red… Berry… Green… Emerald… Blue… uhh…"
"Cornflower." Diana finished, shaking her head. "As I thought, you haven't gotten it down."
"Hey! I got 5 out of 6! That's pretty good!" Akko argued.
Diana massaged her temples. "We're going to have to review it some more then. Just make sure you study it a bit more when you can, alright?"
"Yeah…"
For thirty minutes, Diana went over everything Akko needed help with, answering any questions Akko had and correcting flaws in her understanding.
"Good. It seems like you're getting the hang of it," Diana said as she cleared the blackboard. "We can move on to seeing what is wrong with your casting."
Akko let out a relieved sigh, glad that she could finally get to the practical side of magic.
Diana placed two apples onto the table. "Alright Akko, the spell we'll be practicing is a culinary spell meant to make any food you cast it on sweeter," she explained. "Focus your magic into your wand and try to imagine the taste. Visualize yourself biting into the Apple and feeling the sweetness on your tongue." After a brief pause, she flicked her wand at the left apple. "Bouden Dariard."
"Now your turn, Akko."
The Japanese girl grinned, "Bouden Dariard!"
Diana's look was just tired; sighing as the right apple melted into a purple puddle of sludge.
"Okay. First. What is with that stance?"
"Uhh…" Akko trailed off. "I thought it would go better if I did a cool pose!"
"A pose will not make you cast spells any better, Akko." Diana sighed again. "Also, there's no reason to flourish your wand that much. You're more likely to miss if you wave it around like that."
After cleaning up the mess, Diana brought out a few more apples, fixing the problems with Akko's stance. And for a while they practiced, Diana giving as much advice as she could, and Akko turning yet another apple into tar.
"Last attempt, come on Akko, you can do it," Diana encouraged. Slime, who Akko had summoned to clean up the mess and had turned purple from how much sludge it consumed, jiggled in excitement, cheering on its master.
Akko closed her eyes, her mind having entered an almost meditative state. She felt serene as she focused her mind on the apple. Her eyes snapped open, a fierce look of determination adorned her face as she flicked her wand.
"Bouden Dariard!"
Another explosion rocked the building. This time was different though, as the shockwave was weaker and there was less smoke. As the dust cleared, both girls looked at the table... where a stable apple sat.
"Good job," Diana praised as she picked up the apple. "Though I can tell just from the smell that it would taste rather sour."
"YEEEEEEEEEES!" Akko cheered. "It may not be sweet but it's an improvement!"
"Congratulations, Akko," Diana smiled. "I must say that helping you learn magic is actually quite fun."
"Thank you so much~!" Akko replied. "Though I have to ask, was it like this for you too? Back when your magic was…you know…"
"Well, here's the thing. The fact that your spells had any effect at all, failures they may have been, was still leagues better than how I was." Diana frowned. "When I lost my magic, there was nothing. I would cast for hours on end, but every time I tried there would be no effect at all. It was… terrifying."
"Diana…"
"It was scary, but looking back, it taught me a lesson," Diana admitted. "Had I not lost my magic, I may have become as callous as my Aunt."
"No way," Akko retorted. "Because from what I've seen from you, you're too good a person to ever be that selfish."
Diana chucked. "Thank you Akko, for your words of confidence..."
A comfortable silence settled between the two before Diana spoke once more
"Anyway. It's gotten quite late, and I still have some business to finish." She got up and went to leave before speaking up once again. "Remember to practice on your own, Akko."

AuthorNCS: So yeah, this is how I am going to do SS Links. Because one of the thing I hate the most in a Persona fic is when the writer balloon their chapters thinking they are so smart that they are following the game's calendar.
No you are not. You are just copy pasting someone's LP.
That's why I am doing the smart thing and organize all these ranks. If people want to reread them, they don't have to look all over for them~ (expect phone users, blame the site) Make sure all the other CH can stay focused too.
Although, I have to say, writing SS Link is one of my least favorite thing to do in this fic. So I am sorry if some of the events don't feel like a line, and instead just random events that somehow got the Rank up. I am experimenting still. Thank Beta for all the edit when I screwed up...
So other news... this April is a total dick to our productivity. The place is a mess, Cousin is fighting a war, and nobody is getting any good sleep...
So RIP any update in the next 30 days... (that include forums, sorry. We promise we will return full force in May though ; o ;)
See y'all next time...
