Chapter 3: Elizabeth Lucifer
The entire auditorium exploded with the noise of the students whispering to one another.
"Elizabeth Lucifer, huh?"
"Where did she come from? And why did it take her this long to join Luna Nova?"
"She looks so pale! Is she sick or something!?"
"She sounds healthy, maybe it's some sort of lotion or powder?"
"She's pretty though, she might be at the same level of pretty as Diana!"
"No way, Diana is still prettier!"
The gossip drowned out the ears of Akko as she got lost in the purple maze that was Elizabeth's eyes. For some odd reason, Akko was starting to get a weird feeling in her stomach as she and the new student were locked in a staring contest. This feeling was fear. Akko did not know exactly what she was afraid of, but it was just her gut feeling that told her this girl was bad news.
"I, Elizabeth Lucifer will do my absolute best in this academy. Thank you for the warm welcome."
"Everyone please give a warm welcome to our new student!"
Holbrooke spoke aloud with such excitement, and almost everyone clapped with the same feeling. The only ones who didn't have the same enthusiasm were the Red, Blue, and Green Team.
Lotte clapped very quietly for the new girl as she stared at her with wonder but Sucy did not clap at all. Both Diana and Amanda seemed uninterested in clapping, but Jasminka forced her rebellious friend and Constanze to clap because it would be rude if they did not. Akko was clapping very slowly because her eyes were still fixed on Elizabeth. It was not until Elizabeth left the stage that she stopped staring at Akko.
Thursday morning came and Akko and her friends were heading straight to the most boring class in Luna Nova—The History of Magic with Professor Badcock. As they walked down the halls, the girls spotted Elizabeth walking with the Blue Team, and not only that but she was wearing a blue belt as well.
Akko's mouth opened in disbelief.
"Wait, what!? Why is she with the Blue Team!? Isn't that against the rules!?"
Then Avery from the Violet team came from behind the girls and explained, "There aren't enough students for her to be in her own team. Until then, the teachers paired her up with Diana."
"Of course, they would pair the new student with the best student in the school," said Sucy.
"She's not that good guys!" Akko said aloud as she puffed up her cheeks.
Akko, Lotte, and Sucy were the last team to enter the class. Professor Badcock gave them a quick scolding about being late, but of course, they didn't listen. The Red Team was forced to sit a row below the Blue Team who had their new member, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was sitting right next to Diana as she was showing her the schedule for the classes they would have later in the day. Hannah and Barbara were too busy playing with their wands in boredom, waiting for Professor Badcock to finally start class. She opened her huge book that had the history of the entire magical world in it, and she took ten minutes to find the page she was looking for.
"Today class, we are going to talk about a very important magical figure who changed the foundation of sorcery during the old ages of the world. Usually, we only talk about the history of witches, but today we are going to talk about a wizard. A very ancient wizard who is still remembered today as the Lord of All Magic, Merlin."
After that dramatic introduction, Akko sat up from her seat with attentiveness. Akko knew who Merlin was when she was at her school in Tokyo, and she was forced to read a book about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Of course, the great wizard Merlin was an important character in the story, but she never thought he was a real person in the magical world.
Professor Badcock cleared her throat and began to teach.
"There are many versions of Merlin's story, some saying that he was the son of the devil, or he was a madman who lived in the woods. Well, I am here to tell all of you...NONE OF THAT HOGWASH IS TRUE!"
All the students jumped in their chairs at Badcock's sudden outburst of frustration and anger.
"IT UPSETS ME HOW PEOPLE WOULD CHANGE THE HISTORY OF SUCH AN IMPORTANT MAN LIKE THAT AND GO ON TO SAY HE DIDN'T EXIST! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?! THEY ARE FEEDING THESE KIDS LIES! AND-AND…"
Badcock cleared her throat again.
"Excuse me, I get too emotional when it comes to history… anyway, Merlin is well known as the wizard of Camelot and was the advisor of King Arthur himself. He has performed many miracles and is the very first Demi-human to predict the future correctly. No one was able to reach his level of power and understanding of magic until the Nine Olde Witches came along. But I am interested, does anyone know of Merlin's origins? I want to know what you all know."
The classroom was silent for a bit as Professor Badcock was waiting for at least one person to answer. Finally, after a long awkward silence, Diana was the one to raise her hand.
"Yes, Miss Cavendish! What do you know about Merlin?"
Diana stood up and spoke.
"The Great Wizard Merlin was a man greatly gifted by the world. I learned he was once a prince from an ancient magical kingdom that was once destroyed by an evil sorcerer. There are also theories about him being immortal and-"
"No."
Diana stopped and looked down at Elizabeth who interrupted her.
"Excuse me?"
"Merlin was no prince, but he was descended from royalty. You're telling the tale of Merlin's mother, Cassiopeia, who was actually the heir to an ancient throne."
"What are you saying Lucifer?" Barbara said with a harsh tone, she didn't like the way Elizabeth responded to Diana.
"If you know so much about Merlin why don't you share it with the whole class," Hannah commented with a mischievous grin.
Elizabeth glanced at both and them with her dark purple eyes and then smiled.
"With pleasure, please sit down, Diana. I'll take this one."
Deep down Diana did not know why she listened, but she sat down as her new teammate rose with confidence.
"Merlin's mother was a princess to a kingdom named Phantasia. It was a kingdom of elves, a powerful and ancient magic race we don't see very often in the world today. After the fall of Phantasia, Cassiopeia came to live in a town named Carmarthen and married a rich human man whose name is not recorded in history. Merlin was half-human and half-elf, he got his magic from his mother and his intelligence from his father.
"Sadly, everyone in that town, including his mother and father was turned to stone by a giant cockatrice. In his sadness and rage, Merlin hunted down the cockatrice and destroyed it with his magic; he was only twelve by that time. As the years went by Merlin became a traveling scholar, exploring the world and learning more about magic. But then he was found by the knights of Camelot, who were being led by Uther Pendragon, the father of Arthur. He found usefulness in Merlin's skills and he made him join his counsel in Camelot."
"Very good Miss Lucifer! You are correct!"
Professor Badcock clapped for the new girl with an impressed smile. Hannah and Barabara were left speechless, but Diana just looked up at Elizabeth with interest.
"That new girl is something," Sucy whispered over to her friends, "not many people can prove Diana wrong."
"It's good that you know his backstory, Miss Lucifer, now what was the ending to Merlin's tale? How did he sadly meet his demise?"
Elizabeth, for some reason, frowned when Badcock said what she said, but she quickly smiled again and told what she knew.
"When King Arthur was on the throne, Merlin took in an apprentice, a witch named Vivien. She was Merlin's very first student and had a great talent for magic. However, Vivien was no innocent girl who wanted to learn, she was a wicked snake and deceiver. Vivien was obsessed with power and wanted to be the greatest sorcerer in the world. However, there was one person who stood in her way and that was Merlin himself.
"She feared Merlin's power, so she came up with a cowardly way to dispose of him. She seduced him one night and poisoned him with a potion of paralyzation that she put into his wine glass. She then laid him to bed and put a spell over his house to keep him there. Unable to escape and unable to move, Merlin died a pitiful death in his own home as Vivien took all his treasures and his grimoires that recorded all his knowledge..."
Once she was done reciting the Tale of Merlin, Elizabeth bowed and took her seat. Only Akko had seemed to notice but her face seemed to be agitated.
"Well done Miss Lucifer, you are indeed correct," Professor Badcock flipped through another page. "Vivien is one of the most wicked witches who have ever existed in the history of magic. She would seduce men and make them her slaves, she would team up with demons and make kingdoms bend to her will. But after the Fall of Camelot, Vivien disappeared from the face of the earth, there are even debates today wondering if she was even real."
Badcock then turned three more pages in her textbook.
"Alright, now we talk about the Lady of the Lake and Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table. These two were very important during—"
No one was paying attention to Professor Badcock as she rambled on about the history of Camelot, their attention was fully focused on Elizabeth Lucifer. Elizabeth sat back down once she was done talking and started taking notes like a diligent student. Even though she was taking notes as well, Diana just kept looking at Elizabeth as if she was an alien who came from outer space. Akko also could not resist the urge to look at the new student with curiosity as well. The brunette didn't know why, but she felt some cold and strange aura from Elizabeth when she showed off her intelligence. But in the end, Akko had to stop looking because Professor Badcock kept throwing a book at her head when she wasn't paying attention.
As the day continued, Akko found it to be dull. The only interesting thing was Elizabeth and the Blue Team. In all the other classes, both Diana and Elizabeth show off their intelligence like queens and goddesses. Even Hannah and Barbara were kissing up to Elizabeth now as they do with Diana.
During Professor Lukić's class, they were instructed to make a potion called "Ifrit's Glory". The Red Team struggled with the potion because Akko kept making it explode by putting in the wrong ingredients or just putting in too much. And the Green Team did absolutely nothing as Constanze's machines did all the work (of course they lost points and were punished later). However, the Blue Team finished with flying colors. They were the first done before anyone else and both Diana and Elizabeth were the ones showing it off.
Professor Lukić inspected the potion and looked at the Blue Team with a creepy smile.
"Well done girls! Never have I seen students make the Ifrit's Glory with perfection and passion!"
Everyone cheered and clapped for Diana and Elizabeth. Hannah and Barbara then started throwing in their compliments.
"It comes as no surprise that Diana perfected such a potion," said Hannah with a smug smile.
"But Elizabeth was great too! Diana and she are like a match made in heaven!" Barbara praised.
In the background of all the clapping and cheering were Akko, Lotte, and Sucy covered in soot by the countless explosions Akko caused, and Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminkia who were still finishing their own potion.
"Elizabeth has gotten popular very quickly," said Jasminkia as she ate a huge chocolate chip cookie.
"She's like another Diana except she doesn't come from an important family line," said Sucy as she added a mushroom to the potion they were starting up again.
"Great," Amanda rolled her eyes, "I can barely take one Miss Perfect, now we got a second one."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad," replied Akko. "Now come on, can you guys pass the Imp's Dust over here please?"
"Yeah, we need more after you wasted all of it on the last potion," sighed Lotte, who was cleaning the soot off her glasses.
After lunch and break ended, the students headed to their final class of the day, which was the Dark Arts Class with Professor Julian. Julian Pharos was a middle-aged woman who looked like she just come back from war. She had beautiful silky black hair and deep blue eyes. Other than those nice features, she had a nasty scar on her left eye, and the students could see her muscles phasing through her robe. This was the class where the students would learn how to defend themselves with magic if they encountered any dangers. This was the first time Akko and the others took this class and they were all honestly nervous. Even though Akko did have her own fair share of battles (talking about the dungeon fights in Little Witch Academia: The Chamber of Time) she was not really that confident when it came to these types of spells.
All the young witches stood up in attention as Professor Julian approached them with her wand in hand.
"Take out your wands everyone!" Professor Julian yelled like a commander in an army. The students did as they were told and took out their wands in unison.
"This is your first time in the Dark Arts class, I will let you all know that this is no walk in the park. Some of you will get seriously hurt if you are fooling around, so be careful and be serious when you're in here. If you are not then you can leave with a failing grade."
Professor Julian's eyes seemed to have landed on Akko and Amanda, the worst troublemakers in the academy. Akko looked away in fear, but Amanda just snarled back at the black-haired teacher.
"You are required to take this class because you must learn how to defend yourselves. I'm not saying that all of you will have to fight in your lives, but if a time came and you were attacked, you would at least know what to do in that situation. I will teach you many powerful spells of defense and offense, but they are only to be used here! If I hear and see that any of you used those dangerous spells on campus or another student, you may face expulsion! Am I clear?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Everyone yelled aloud in unison.
"Good!" Professor Julian then turned her back to the students and walked up to the board. She turned around and then talked again, "What I want to do today is observe your guy's combat skills. So I will call two students to engage each other in a magic duel. The duel ends when the witch gives up or when I say so. Use all the spells you know, but obviously don't kill each other. Now I will choose the first two…"
Julian looked up and down, left and right of the rows to see which students she wanted to see face-off first. After a minute or two, Professor Julian clapped her hands and said, "Atsuko Kagari and Elizabeth Lucifer! Come forward!"
It felt like a cat was chasing a mouse inside Akko's stomach when she heard her name being called. Akko had faced magical monsters before, but she had never been in a duel with another student before, this was new territory Akko was stepping in. Not only that, but she was facing off against the new student Elizabeth ("At least it's not Diana," Akko wiped the sweat off her forehead). Both Akko and Elizabeth left the rows they were in and approached Professor Julian.
Once Akko got up there, she heard the voices of her friends.
"Do your best Akko!" Lotte cheered, but she had failed to hide the anxiousness in her voice.
"If you die, can I inspect your corpse?" Sucy asked nonchalantly as Lotte immediately started to scold her after.
"Kick her butt!" Amanda yelled as she pumped her fist up in the air.
"Don't hurt yourself," Jasminka said as she was eating a bag of jelly beans. Constanze just gave Akko a casual thumbs up as her way of encouraging her.
"She's totally going to get demolished!" Both Hannah and Barabara sniggered.
"This will be interesting," said Diana as she stared at the both of them. She knows that Akko is definitely experienced in combat, but she is interested in what Elizabeth could do.
"Ok girls," said Professor Julian, "don't go too crazy. I want a clean match, alright? Now get in position!"
"Wait," Elizabeth raised her hand.
"Yes? What is it, Miss Lucifer?"
"Can I give myself a rule?"
Professor Julian raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
Elizabeth giggled.
"I like to challenge myself when it comes to stuff like this. It makes me do better when I'm under pressure."
"S-sure, I guess…" Professor Julian replied as she scratched the back of her head. "What is your rule?"
"That during the battle, I will not move my feet. I will stay put in the same place."
The whole classroom erupted in loud "oh"s as Hannah and Barbara laughed aloud.
"If she beats that loser Akko without moving an inch, it will be the best thing that has ever happened in Luna Nova!" Barbara laughed while holding her stomach.
"Dang it! I wish I had something to record all of this with!" Hannah said as she held her friend and they laughed like jolly old ladies.
"Quiet everyone! Atsuko and Elizabeth, get in positions! I will start the fight at the count of three."
Akko and Elizabeth were facing each other with their wands in hand, they walked backward a few steps and took their fighting stance.
"One, two, three...FIGHT!"
"Murowa!" yelled Akko as she pointed her wand at her target.
The green ball of energy was heading straight for Elizabeth, but she didn't show any signs of worry as it was coming. She simply waved her wand horizontally and the green ball got smaller and smaller until it no longer existed.
"What!?" Akko took some more distance. "What the heck did she do!?"
Elizabeth smiled at Akko and said, "Is that the best you can do?"
Akko gritted her teeth and gripped her wand so hard it would've broken in half. She pointed her wand at Elizabeth again to cast another spell.
"Kertina Feriare!"
A ball of fire then shot out of the wand like a cannonball and was heading straight for its target with great speed. Elizabeth's reaction, however, was faster, she took her wand and calmly spoke the name of a spell to counter Akko's.
"Agua!"
Streams of water then escaped Elizabeth's wand and it devoured the fireball Akko cast. Elizabeth expected Akko to be left speechless, but she was caught off guard to see the witch smiling with confidence.
"Terya Sufie!"
Before Elizabeth could do anything, Akko already cast the spell that turned the water into shards of ice. The ice shards were flying towards Elizabeth like arrows, the girl held up her wand and shouted, "Praesidio Cingunt!"
At that moment, a purple dome surrounded Elizabeth and blocked almost all the ice shards. I say almost because there was one shard that got her before the dome was up and gave her a cut on her elbow. It sliced through her uniform and a scar was visible on her elbow, however, there was no blood.
For a whole minute, neither Akko nor Elizabeth spoke, and no one dared interrupt the silence for some odd reason. The purple eyes of Elizabeth became darker than usual as they were locked on Akko, the poor brunette witch's body ran cold as the darkness of her eyes was humming an evil tune.
"My turn…" Elizabeth's voice was deep and devoid of emotions, she took down the dome and aimed her wand at her target.
"Tiomerdosh Dorhadona!"
At that moment, a dark purple ball appeared between Akko and Elizabeth. Akko got scared and tried to back up even further, but a powerful force pulled her forward. Before Akko knew it, she was flying towards Elizabeth. She shut her eyes tight, expecting a painful impact, but Elizabeth already had another attack planned ahead of time.
The purple-haired girl held her wand up to Akko as she was flying towards her and yelled, "Murowa!"
With that, the magic blast shot out of Elizabeth's wand and hit Akko square in the stomach as she was still flying towards her. Thanks to that powerful blast, Akko was blown back and somersaulted before falling right on her face. The last thing Akko saw before she lost consciousness was her friends running towards her, the laughing faces of Hannah and Barabara, and Diana giggling to herself, enjoying the pitiful sight of Akko.
The first thing Akko felt when she woke up was the aggravating feeling of heavy rocks being laid on top of her head and the feeling of a microwave heating up inside her stomach. She slowly opened her crusty eyes to see Professor Ursula who was standing on the right side of her bed and the other members of the Red Team and the Green Team surrounding her.
"Akko! Thank goodness you are okay!"
Akko slowly sat up and looked around to see she was in the school's infirmary. When Akko tried to sit up more, the hot pain in her stomach got worse and she growled in irritation.
"Don't strain yourself Akko, Professor Lukić is coming back soon with the medicine to help with the pain."
Before Akko laid back down, she touched her head which felt very sore, and realized that it was bandaged very tightly.
"What...what happened to me…?"
"The new girl kicked your ass!" answered Amanda who was laughing as she said that.
"AMANDA!"
Everyone yelled in unison as the tomboyish girl turned around and walked away whistling.
Akko groaned as she clutched her throbbing head.
"So...she beat me…how long have I been unconscious for?"
"It's been four hours since the Dark Arts Class ended," Lotte answered, "D-don't worry, you didn't miss much! Professor Julian didn't let anyone else fight after what happened to you."
"Not to mention that everyone is talking about it," Amanda shouted from the corner. "Hannah and Barbara were spreading the news faster than the Luna Nova News Network. As a matter of fact, you getting beat on the front page for today."
"It's on the front page?!"
"Yep, wanna see?" Sucy handed Akko the newspaper article, she first saw the big black capital letters on the top that read "ATSUKO KAGARI SUFFERS AN EMBARRASSING DEFEAT BY THE NEW GIRL!"
She read along:
During the Dark Arts Class, Atsuko Kagari and the new student Elizabeth Lucifer engaged in a duel. The battle was intense, but in the end, Elizabeth came out as the winner. Akko's team was forced to carry her unconscious body to the infirmary where she is still healing.
Akko then saw an embarrassing black and white picture of her body on the ground in the worst position possible with her butt high in the air and her face making out with the ground, and in the background were all her friends with worried expressions surrounding her and other students laughing.
The young witch threw the newspaper onto the clean floor and buried her face in her pillow so that she could scream in frustration without disturbing the other injured students.
"It's okay, Akko!" Professor Ursula caressed her head like a dog. "I'm sure it will go away in a week or so..."
Akko screamed even louder in her pillow, that was not what she wanted to hear.
"You suck at comforting," said Sucy nonchalantly and Ursula had her head down in shame.
After finally getting let out of the infirmary, Akko had the rest of the day to herself since there was no more class. However, she hoped that the day would end soon because everywhere she went, she was constantly reminded of her terrible defeat by Elizabeth. Akko would hear students laughing after they passed her, and hear things like:
"Wow, she's got bandages on her head! She was hurt that badly!"
"What a loser!"
This was attention Akko was not a fan of. And to put more salt in the wound, Akko and her friends saw a bunch of students gathering around the Blue Team. Now, students coming to Diana as if she was a pastor ready to preach the Bible was nothing new, but this time, they weren't there just to see Diana but her partner Elizabeth who was always by her side. All the students would give praise to both of them and some asked if they could show them some spells. Both Diana and Elizabeth were calm and collected as they answered each question and said thank you for every praise.
The brunette groaned at the sight of them and headed straight for her room. Akko, Lotte, and Sucy were doing their own thing. Lotte was reading her favorite Nightfall book, Sucy was working on her potion that could potentially give people two tongues ("Why though?" asked Akko), and Akko was just lying on her bed with the Shiny Rod held close to her chest. After a while, Akko could no longer take the smell of Sucy's potion and decided that she would go get some air.
"But where are you going to go?" asked Lotte, whose eyes didn't leave the page she was reading.
"To the place where nobody will think I'll be...the library!" Akko said that with her voice full of suspense.
"That's actually a good idea, not even I would think to look for you there," replied Sucy as she was mixing the glowing liquids.
Akko closed the door behind her and strolled off, but there was one thing she forgot to do. She still had the Shiny Rod in her hands, she forgot to put it back on the bed. The girl was going to go back and place it but decided not to because she was too lazy.
She sat down at a table in the library by herself and pretended to read a book so that no one would look at her. As she was fake-reading, drowsiness was starting to take over like a spell, she was rubbing her eyes like Aladdin rubbing the lamp to wake up the genie. After a long time of just sitting in the boring and quiet library, she decided to call it quits and head back to her room while dodging students. She slammed her book shut and tried to get up to put it back, but then she yelped and fell back on her chair when someone unexpected was just standing right next to her without her noticing. To her dismay, it was Elizabeth Lucifer.
"Hello Akko, are you feeling better?" Elizabeth asked with an actual kind voice.
Akko honestly did not want to talk to her, but Elizabeth was a new student and she didn't want to leave a bad impression.
"I'm ok," Akko said with the worst fake smile known to man.
"I'm sorry about what I did, I didn't mean to go so hard on you."
"It's alright, really! Injury aside, you were actually pretty amazing back in the duel!"
Elizabeth was surprised by Akko's flattery, but she did a good job of hiding her shock and smiled in response.
"Thank you, but you were amazing too! I fought many people and I have to say that you are the best I have ever fought."
Akko's cheeks flushed pink, she glanced sideways in embarrassment.
"I-I'm not that good!"
"No seriously! Your skills are something to admire and…what is that thing on your lap?"
Akko was confused by the sudden question until she looked down to remember she had brought the Shiny Rod with her.
"It's the Shiny Rod! Shiny Chariot's staff!"
"Uh…who?"
Akko gasped.
"You never heard of Shiny Chariot!?"
Elizabeth sheepishly giggled and she rubbed her arm.
"I apologize, before coming to this class I usually don't get out much. The things I know are only in books. What is Shiny Chariot?"
"She's the best magical performer in the world and the main reason why I want to be a witch!"
"Really?"
"Hmhm! It always puts a smile on my face when I see her magic and I love it when everyone else is happy when they see her magic too! I want to be a witch like her and make other people smile as she did!"
The purple-haired girl hummed.
"Using magic to make others feel…happy? I didn't know magic could be used for something like that…"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Akko asked.
Elizabeth answered, "Back in my home, we mainly use our magic for knowledge and strength. Not for…entertainment. And I find it very interesting that you see this staff as just the item for a performer when I can sense so much powerful magic coming off of it…"
The eyes of Elizabeth were glued to the Shiny Rod.
Akko spoke up and asked, "Do you…want a closer look?"
"R-really?" Elizabeth looked up at Akko, with excited eyes. For some reason, her smiling face made Akko flush. "T-thank you…"
Elizabeth inched closer and inspected the rod. She looked at it as if it were some ancient treasure that had been lost for a long time but was finally found.
"Wow…"
She panted as her fingers were slowly making their way to touch the rod.
But, she did not even make contact as strange yellow electricity came from the rod and zapped Elizabeth. The purple-haired girl gave out a scream of intense pain and turned around fast facing away from Akko. The brunette could not see the injury but she did see black smoke emitting from her body, so that gave her a hint that it was a bad burn.
"Oh my god! Are you ok!?" Akko went to her side and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry! It doesn't usually do that, I-"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Akko got back quickly once she heard that demonic voice from Elizabeth. Elizabeth slowly turned around, her face drenched in sweat and her body visibly shaking as if she was cold. Her chalk-white arms were smoking and looked blistered as if they were both in a furnace for hours.
"S-s-sorry! I-oh god-I'm fine…I'll be fine, I just need…"
"Elizabeth?"
Coming towards the two was Diana with a concerned look on her face. She did not even look at Akko, her attention was only on the shaking and smoking Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth! Are you ok!?"
Diana ran to her and saw her messed up arms. She covered her mouth to conceal her gasp and then she looked at Akko with a mixture of horror and anger.
"Did you do this!?"
Akko shook her head rapidly.
"No, no! It wasn't my fault! I mean— it kinda was—but I don't—"
"You have done many foolish things, but harming another student is something I didn't think you would go so far to do!"
"Wait-"
"I'm reporting this to the Headmistress! I can't believe you—"
"It's ok Diana."
Elizabeth finally spoke and her voice was less shaky now. She looked at Diana with a face drenched in sweat and a forced warm smile.
"I'm fine, I'm gonna be—"
"I need to get you to the nurse, come on!"
Diana took Elizabeth and the two left Akko alone in the library. Once they were gone, three words escaped from Akko's lips.
"I'm so screwed…"
