However, even after the spell is broken he still retains an interest in Lotte and asks her out on a date.

====Wagandea====
Frank and Andrew are shown traveling in Andrew's car together. Andrew states that he must meet Akko, to which Frank teases him that he's still interested in her. Frank is soon disappointed to learn that Andrew's true meaning to meet Akko is to return her witch hat. The two soon take notice of the uprising mob, as Frank tells Andrew about the new emotion-altering app that is said to relieve the anger and tension of the users, and uses it to calm their emotions.

====Chapter 8====
Frank is greatly dismayed by Andrew's decision not to join his father in the upcoming visit at Luna Nova, believing it to be a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see witch students there. Andrew rightfully pointed out that Frank mostly interested in girls who attended the academy instead and retorted that he no longer played piano when the latter brought that up. The mention of girls unexpectedly attracts the attention of their fellow Appleton students who them bump into the two's conversation. Disheartened upon learning what they just talked about at first, one of members of the group reveals that Luna Nova is not just witches' school, but also all-girls one. From there, they talk about some witch stereotypes in popular culture such as seductress whom various rulers of countries bumped into, magical girls (which quickly dismissed as they and witches contrasted each other), and even one who uses her powers as part of her magic show such as a certain witch with racy costume from a decade earlier.
The group's conversation about witches and Luna Nova takes a dramatic turn when Louis Blackwell shows up to discourage his peers from discussing such matter any further, citing their obsolescence will bring nothing but ruin to the Academy's proud image. Although part of him agreed with such statements, Andrew rightfully points out how flawed they are for being based on dubious sources (public rumors and unfounded assumptions) instead of concrete facts and that Louis explicitly said such things to inflate his own ego, making him even lower than people he biased rather than a proper Appleton student. Frank hastily follows Andrew as his best friend makes his leave, effectively spared from Louis' immature violent tantrum in process.
Frank is relived that Andrew's argument with Louis didn't escalate into a duel as they return home. Still, fot the same reason, Andrew changes his mind about Luna Nova's invitation and decides to bring Frank along to see whether witches and magic are indeed as outdated as everyone said. Relieved at first, Frank fails to take the account of him had to convince Paul as he isn't technically among those the academy invited.
===Chapter 9 (Keisuke Satō)===
Andrew, alongside Frank, accompanies Paul as they are expected by inhabitants of Luna Nova. So far the visit seemingly confirms validity of his father's statement about magic being outdated (ancient dark dance which lacked improvements in last centuries) while Frank too distracted by witch students in the academy, Diana in particular as the latter thinks boys like them should be enamored to her beauty that helped by her status as one of Cavendishes. As per Paul's suggestion, Holbrooke appoints Diana to be Andrew's guide to explore Luna Nova. It is when Diana and Andrew are revealed to be old acquaintances, much to Frank's surprise.
Frank's delight turned into disappointment as he learned the two's ties as acquaintance and their debate over magic's future in which such thing might be as obsolete as his father said. That doesn't help by the Hanbridge seemingly (and cynically) has reached such conclusion unlike him who intrigued by it more than he let on. Before long, Diana and Frank get separated from Andrew because of the latter's unexpected predicament with Akko.
==Relationships==
===Andrew Hanbridge===
As one of Andrew's closest friends, he always takes part in several major parties. Although he teases him sometimes, Frank is shown to be very concerned for Andrew and smiles when he sees that Andrew is slightly interested in Akko.
===Lotte Jansson===
In "Bee Commotion", like the rest of his friends, Frank ends up being enamored of Lotte after getting stung by the Cupid Bee. However, even after the spell was broken, Frank showed a genuine interest in Lotte by asking her out on a date, only for Lotte to turn him down saying she would like to be friends with him first since she doesn't know him well enough to date him. During his talk with Andrew, Frank states that although Lotte may seem ordinary, she's actually a good-hearted girl that is hard to come by.
