===Background===

One day, she learned that the Luna Nova Academy, the school from which Chariot graduated, was accepting students without magic inheritance. Despite her total ignorance of magic, she managed to enroll there.
===Little Witch Academia===
Akko appears during the class of History of Magic in Luna Nova, being bored by this and staying asleep. When the teacher awakens her abruptly, she reprimands Akko for not taking the story seriously. During lunch, she talks to her friends Lotte and Sucy about being bored learning the ancient traditions of witchcraft because she wants to be a modern witch like Shiny Chariot. In that, Diana Cavendish affirms to him that Shiny Chariot does not have any respect in the magical world and leaves after having humiliated her.
During the broom flight class, Akko ends up falling from the top of the Tower of Luna Nova because she does not know how to ride her broom, and ends up receiving several wounds. That night, she argues with Lotte and Sucy about Shiny Chariot, lamenting that no one else sees how wonderful she is.
The next day, Professor Ursula gives them a special class in which they must enter the dungeons under the Tower of Luna Nova and recover some valuable treasure avoiding the monsters. After helping Diana who was fighting a Minotaur, Akko, Lotte and Sucy were surprised by the appearance of the Ancient Dragon that Diana had awakened accidentally. Akko, in the trash, finds the Shiny Rod. Ursula instructs Akko to take the Rod to Sorcerer's Stone, where it absorbs part of the magical energy contained in the stone. When the dragon attacks, Akko manages to transform the Shiny Rod into the Shiny Arc, destroying the dragon. When Diana saves her from her fall, she asks about the Shiny Arc, which leads Akko to suspect that she is also a fan of Shiny Chariot.
===Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade===
During a special class by Professor Finnelan, Akko accidentally mixes a goblin with Sucy's mushroom in a potion, creating a huge monster mushroom that spreads venom all over the room. When Diana and Finnelan use Luna Lana to get rid of the monster, Akko, Lotte and Sucy are punished and forced to organize a parade for the Glatsonbury festival that recreates the witch hunt. Amanda, Constanze and Jasminka should work with them not to be expelled. Outraged by the parade that destroys the image of the witches, Akko decides to organize a fun festival that shows the good side of the witches, calling "Happy Hour Project".
While the six girls do their best to organize the parade, things do not turn out well, as no one apart from Amanda is good at dancing on her broom. When Akko suggests organizing a scene of a witch saving everyone from a monster, Sucy and Amanda make fun of her because she can not do it because she can not fly in broom or freely use the Shiny Rod. When Diana intervenes, she reprimands Akko to try to make the witches look bad using magic as a frivolous act, which leads them both to argue. That night, Lotte tries to explain to Akko that her plans would not work since the magic is not durable away from the Sorcerer's Stone, but Akko does not hear her concerned only that Lotte sings during the parade, eventually breaking the spiritual song score of her family, causing Lotte to become very angry.
The next day, while the six were in the town buying, Akko ends up fighting with Lotte and even with Sucy too. When a gang of rude children attack them, Akko realizes the problem of the limited use of magic in the town. At night, Akko is depressed by what happened, that's when Diana made her face that everything she was trying to do was a mistake just like the mistake that was Shiny Chariot, but this causes Akko to motivate herself again by remembering how the Shiny Rod absorbed Sorcerer's Stone magic, assuring Diana that the parade will be wonderful.
Over the next few days, Akko does her best to organize the parade on her own, finally getting Amanda, Constanze and Jasminka to help her. On the day of the parade, Akko gets the Shiny Rod to absorb Sorcerer's Stone energy and at night, they are able to use that energy to power their magic in the village. Waiting for Lotte and Sucy to appear, Akko decides to start the parade which is very good at the beginning, until the children steal the Shiny Rod. While trying to retrieve it, the Titan that was sealed in the Sealing Stones is awakened. Akko is sent to save Thomas, soon to be saved from her fall by Sucy, who forgives everything. When Lotte appears using her song to calm the spirits that were causing disaster, she and Akko are again friends. When the Titan awakens completely, Ursula tells them to use Luna Lana to stop him. Although at the beginning the Titan is too powerful, with the support of all the people and the spirits, the three manage to use the Shiny Ballista to defeat the Titan, making the parade a great success.

Akko complains over Luna Nova's seemingly dull classes at the cafeteria while having some lunch with her roommates, Lotte and Sucy, unable to believe that Shiny Chariot took them during her time as a student there. This brought the attention of Diana who proceeds to tell her that Chariot is not worth to look up to for being labelled as a heretic by her own community. Irritated, Akko argues that Shiny Chariot didn't do anything wrong with her magic, let alone as awful as she believed to be. As their argument escalates thanks to Hannah, Barbara, and even Sucy's snide remarks, Ursula, who overhears the whole thing, steps in and suggests that they should settle their dispute through volleyball instead.
Neither Akko nor Sucy are delighted by this decision, let alone Amanda who had to join her alongside Constanze and Jasminka, though they ultimately change their mind because of Hannah and Barbara's unwise boasting. Before they begin the first round of the game, Akko asks Diana to take back her awful statements about Shiny Chariot should the former team wins, in which the Cavendish gives a dubious response.
As soon as the volleyball match begins, things spiral out of control with Amanda uses magic to turn the tide of their match and with the goblin laborer who supposedly in charge as the game's referee proved too incompetent for the job, Diana suggested that they resort to do the same, much to Ursula's dismay. Soon enough, Akko's team swiftly pushed to the brink of losing and Amanda ultimately decides to walk away, creating an opening for Hannah and Barbara to magically hurl the ball at her.

Undaunted, the two good-for-nothing bullies decides to all out and Akko's team responds in kind starting from Constanze who deflects another strike with her newly built first Stanbot.
Although dismayed by her team's loss in the end, Akko's small comfort comes from winning Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka's respect.
====Chapter 4====
Akko, Lotte, and Sucy somehow capture Shooting Star and subsequently return it to Last Wednesday Society. Akko insists to the proprietor that she's not accountable for the legendary broom's theft prior before decides that Shooting Star should be returned to its rightful owner instead of locked away once again. Lotte is mixed by such idea because it's easier to be said than done; not only they lack a lead or two about the original owner of the Shooting Star's identity, but the legendary broom is also may or may not old enough to manifest its own faery. Sucy on the other hand, laughs at such idea because the Japanese witch-in-training came up with it from reading My First Flight Magic book, leading to Akko running off in tears.
That being said, Akko is far from giving up; the Japanese witch-in-training proceeds to spread wanted posters for Shooting Star's owner all over Luna Nova only to get into trouble with Finnelan in process. Lotte finally steps in to help her roommate in anyway she can after helping the latter undoing her mess, even while Sucy not interested in doing the same. Returning to Last Wednesday Society, Akko accompanies Lotte as she consults with old object faeries there for a clue or two. Akko is about to go to ask around on the outside while Lotte prepares to call forth the Shooting Star's faery when Sucy, who revealed to have changed her mind and concluded her own search at the library at some point, brought Akko and Lotte bad news; the original owner of Shooting Star had since passed away, but not without having her "magical super-delivery service" recorded in the Guiness World Record books during her time with the legendary broom. Saddened by this revelation, Akko apologizes to Shooting Star for failing it.
Suddenly, Shooting Star snaps as soon as Akko turned her back, breaking free from its restraints, knocking the proprietor into submission, and flies away, much to, her, Lotte, and Sucy's shock. The legendary broom doesn't stop right there, as it return to take the three friends with it to the sky, causing panic among nearby pedestrians in the process. As this happens, the three friends are behold the sight of Shooting Star's very own newborn faery who then thanks them for their efforts before they part ways, but not before telling them that it will find its own worthy owner someday.
Though relieved by Shooting Star's reassurance, Akko, Lotte, and Sucy nonetheless had to clean up the mess it left behind in Last Wednesday Society.
====Chapter 5====
Wanting to buy a birthday gift for Sucy but her monthly allowance got cut off due to her poor grades (Sucy ironically isn't keen with having her birthday celebrated), Akko resorts to take a part-time job as a maid provided by one of goblin custodians, much to Diana's bemusement as she felt the Japanese witch-in-training's capabilities in such endeavor being questionable at best. It is from the Cavendish's advice where the sentiment from birthday being mattered more than money involved in buying presents Akko comes up with a better idea and abruptly makes her leave, unaware that Diana begins to enjoy her Japanese Plum Tea.
After having Lotte ensured Sucy remained in the dark about their endeavor, Akko discusses with Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka about getting a surprise present for Sucy's birthday. She even coerces Amanda by revealing her suspicion of the latter being the one who stole Shooting Star back during the broom race all along. Eventually, their meeting concludes with the would-be gift to be a mushroom, much to Jasminka's chagrin because she expected a birthday cake.
Unfortunately, Akko's lack of knowledge pertaining mushrooms sees the group exposed to poisonous fume of a particular mushroom which induces the victim nightmares while thankfully not lethal as Sucy note when the Manbavaran and Lotte find them: Akko, Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka share a nightmare where they are chased by an angry mob of walking mushrooms. During the chase, Amanda realized that the mob chased them due to a mushroom that Akko took from their habitat. Akko felt reluctant to return the mushroom due to it meant to be a gift for her friend, but Amanda pointed out that she is too selfish to realize what's going on. The argument between both girls escalates when Constanze trips and is cornered by walking mushrooms, prompting Jasminka to break up the fight and beg Akko to return the mushroom. Realizing her errors, Akko finally tosses the mushroom away, saving Constanze from the walking mushroom's wrath in the process. The nightmare ends with Sucy's antidotes taking effect, saving their lives.
When she finally awakes alongside Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka, Akko is dismayed to learn that Lotte spoiled Sucy of their ill-fated birthday surprise plan. To add insult to injury, Sucy not only reprimanded them for their recklessness, but also tossed aside the mushroom which fume they exposed to because it already in her collection. Despite this, a small comfort for Akko comes from Sucy who nonetheless appreciated the sentiment and effort behind it. It is when Amanda notices wyvern-like creatures flying overhead with Luna Nova's very own Sorcerer's Stone in their clutches.
====Chapter 6====
Shocked to see that the wyvern-like creatures have stolen Luna Nova's Sorcerer's Stone, Akko rallies her friends to set out to retrieve it. Neither of them, Amanda in particular, are enthusiastic with such idea until Lotte rightfully points out that the lack of Stone to provide magic energy for everyone at the academy won't bode well for faeires, leaving them no better options at hand.
As they fly their way toward the dragons' lair (their brooms are linked to Constanze's mechanized one), which certainly at Rastavan Ruins, the group discuss about their enemies' motives. Sucy makes their conversation less pleasant by explaining how dragons replenish their magic by sucking in witches' blood, though Lotte dismisses such idea since they supposedly had since abandoned such practice. When Lotte proposes that the dragon they're about to face is supposedly a brutal one who was last seen hundred years back, Akko immediately (and angrily) assumes the creature opted to make due with Luna Nova's Sorcerer's Stone. Just then, Amanda notices magic energy reserves in their brooms recharging itself just as they finally get a look at Rastavan Ruins.
Closing in for the ruins, the group is soon ambushed by the same dragon horde who stole the Sorcerer's Stone, and knowing that the fight is inevitable, Amanda implores everyone to split into groups to fight back. A dogfight ensues with Constanze opening fire on the dragons with her Stanbot's shotgun configuration while Amanda conjures a large flower popping out of one of the chasing beasts' snout, causing it to crash along with two of its packmates and allowing the German mechanic to finish them off. Sucy spreads out explosive powder, which covers the air behind her before igniting it with magic, creating a trail of explosions that incinerates unfortunate monsters caught within its path. Checking on downed dragons, Akko is shocked upon discovering their true robotic nature but unable to dwell on it for long nor relay what she found to the others as the remaining beasts have overpowered and grabbed Lotte and Sucy away, along with Constanze and Jasminka. Seeing the dragons taking their friends into the ruins, Akko and Amanda set out to give chase only for the former unexpectedly falls into another entrance in form of a stone chute and inadvertently takes the latter with her in the process.
Akko and Amanda crash into an enormous, darkened chamber seemingly filled with torture instruments. There, they see shadowed form of the ruins' dragon inhabitant, Fafnir the Dragon, who approaches Lotte, Sucy, Constanze, and Jasminka who locked inside a cage. Amanda barely has a moment to come up with a plan when Akko recklessly swings towards the dragon with a nearby chain, much to her chagrin. The dragon catches Akko on ease before unexpectedly (and indignantly) yells at her face for assuming him intending to eat her. To their further confusion, in addition of his anthropomorphic mannerisms that defy rumors circulating around him (able to talk, wearing bathrobe and slippers, and other things), Fafnir inquires them of the money Luna Nova owed him under the assumption of Holbrooke sent them on her behalf.
Just then, Headmistress Holbrooke herself arrives with Lukić and Badcock bringing some old artifacts which he immediately rejected. When Akko demands why he took Luna Nova's Sorcerer's Stone from start, Fafnir explains that he did so because the academy owed him a lot of money in return of his part in its construction as written in their contract long ago, much to the Japanese witch-in-training and co.'s disbelief. He further criticizes Luna Nova's staffs for focusing on magic above all else that they failed to adapt in changing times, which contrasted of his own success in online investments. Although admittedly motivated by her own ambitions and dreams, Akko makes a stand for Luna Nova and calls Fafnir out for his greed-driven decision to sell the confiscated Sorcerer's Stone as the compensation of their troubles.
Fortunately for everyone, Diana and Finnelan, who have properly deciphered the contract between Luna Nova and Fafnir, show up tp reveal the dragon's treachery; as it turns out, Fafnir had exploited Luna Nova professors' underestimation on the importance of learning Dragonese in order to abuse the contract by having them paying more than they owed. With that, everyone finally able to reclaim their Sorcerer's Stone back.
While everyone is celebrating, Akko notices Fafnir lamenting the impending end of magic along with witches and dragons in the light of science age. The Japanese witch-in-training reassures to him that magic has the power to move hearts even to this day, something which moves the dragon more than he admit.
For recklessly interfered the then-solved affair between Luna Nova and Fafnir, Akko, Lotte, Sucy, Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka had to work on the laundry as their detention.
====Chapter 7====
Akko is still struggling with her magical studies, which puts her attendance in Hanbridges' visit at the stake. During her latest private lesson with Ursula, the latter brings in Diana to assist her. Neither Akko nor Diana are happy by this, especially with the latter claiming that she is only there because the professors asked her to do so. Retorting that she doesn't need the top student's assistance in her study, Akko makes another attempt with her spell, this time with Diana as the target only for it backfires, giving herself rat ears and tail. As Diana remarks the Japanese witch-in-training's lack of progress being the result of Ursula doted her student too much while casually turning her classmate back to normal at the same time, the undeterred Akko opts to continue with Shiny Rod to no avail. 
Unimpressed yet intrigued at the same time, Diana interrupts Akko by turning her into a mouse before examining the artifact and wrongfully concludes it to be one of the ubiquitously made replicas, much to the latter's chagrin. Seeing that she has wasted her time for nothing, the disappointed Diana decides to make her leave all while forgetting to turn her classmate back to normal while doing so. When Ursula inquires Akko about Shiny Rod afterwards, the misunderstood and distressed transformed brunette abruptly runs off with the artifact on her tiny hands, prompting the guilty bespectacled professor to give chase only to lose her student because she got tripped in mid-way.
Realizing her mistake, Akko comes up with an idea to freak Diana out in order to coerce her to turn her back to normal. But bad luck looms over her because a goblin custodian unceremoniously tosses her onto the top of a leaving delivery truck from the second floor, mistaking her as some vermin until he notices Shiny Rod on the floor. Fortunately, this mishap doesn't go unnoticed by Diana who soon realizes her mistake as soon as she stumbles upon the same bewildered goblin while doing her business.
Trapped in Blytonbury, the terrified and panicked Akko hears a ruckus from the nearby trash bins; two mices having an argument about the existence of the ocean to the point of one of them beat another in a brawl. Not wanting to interfere at first, Akko changes her mind upon hearing the beaten-up mouse, Hope, proclaimed his dream to travel across the sea someday. Fortunately, as she does, the larger mouse, Nemo, loses the interest to escalate the fight and leaves alongside his two cohorts. Helping Hope standing on his feet, Akko confirmed that ocean does exist, leading the excited beaten-up mouse to reveal the legend of a certain rat who crossed the ocean in a bid to defeat a white demon long ago. To Akko's shock, Hope suddenly coughs a bit of blood in mid-sentence, but shrugs his chronic illness aside as he brings her to his village's elder.
Upon meeting the elder of Hope's community, the two are dismayed by the elder's refusal because he wished the young mouse to take his place in safeguarding their small village someday. His cynical statements when he brings up Hope's sickness provokes Akko to call him out, but their argument is soon interrupted by the sudden appearance of white demon from Hope's story. This prompted Hope and Akko to investigate against the elder's wishes leading them to come face-to-face with the entity with Nemo who trapped beneath wooden pieces nearby seemingly under its mercy. Despite their differences, Hope stands between Nemo and the demon knowing the legendary rat would do the same, and so does Akko. When it appears the demon is about to attack them, it unexpectedly removes the debris to free Nemo, revealing itself to be none other than Diana in her weasel form.
Akko's bravery impressed Hope that he assumes her and the rat of legend he heard about to be the same person, prompting Akko to play along by introducing herself as "Akko Kagareen" and offers to show him the ocean. But Hope refuses because he wanted to achieve his dreams with his own effort. With that, Akko and Diana part ways with Hope's community.
Returning to Luna Nova, Akko finally able to properly tell Ursula how she found Shiny Rod. Ursula reassures her that the staff is hers now and she should be able to pass the upcoming exam. Diana reminds Akko about what she learned from meeting Hope earlier, in which the Japanese witch-in-training begrudgingly agrees, citing that she cannot rely on Shiny Rod forever.
Unfortunately, she's far from ready to pass her Metamorphosis Magic exam thus received a detention where she must master the spell and barred from Hanbridges' upcoming visit.
====Chapter 8====
At Blytonbury, Akko, Lotte, and Sucy make haste for returning to Luna Nova, failing in clarifying the rumor about a shop selling rare Chariot Card she has yet to acquire.
====Chapter 9====
After another shortcoming in practicing her Metamorphosis Magic (giving herself rabbit ears and nose) and the unsuccessful attempt to cast the spell with Shiny Rod, Akko eventually gives up. Hopeless by her predicament, Akko wonders how did she able to use Shiny Rod and whether she really has magic potential within. It is then she recalls upon the Fountain of Polaris, and browsing some info about it from one of her Chariot cards and her books, Akko learns that the Fountain endows a witch with inner radiance the powerful magic of stars and where to find it. Confident that the fountain will solve her problem, Akko decides to make haste for that place.
Sneaking out of her dorm room, Akko unwittingly catches Andrew's attention at the courtyard during his tour with Frank and Diana. This leads to an awkward encounter where the Hanbridge grabs her ears twice, hurting her. Irritated by Andrew's low opinion about magic, Akko tries to demonstrate her Metamorphosis Magic on a nearby squirrel only to unintentionally (or rather comically) give the young man donkey ears and tail. Eluding Frank and Diana who notice his disappearance, Andrew reluctantly tags along with Akko in her search for the Fountain of Polaris somewhere at the north building of the Academy so they can undo the spell once the Japanese witch-in-training get her hands on the star magic.
Entering the northern building, Akko and Andrew stumble upon a large, worn-out wooden door which has a written warning in Latin that said; "Waken not the sleeping Arcas. As the protector of Polaris, Arcas will attack all those who approach the Fountain." Reading it, Andrew suggests against carelessly entering the area further only for Akko busts the door open, much to his chagrin. As soon as she did, the Japanese witch-in-training unwittingly stops right in front of the said guardian; an angry polar bear-like creature with yellow four-pointed star-like crest on its snout.
====Chapter 10====
Andrew drags Akko with him as they flee from the polar bear-like guardian beast, which is none other than Arcas himself, all while sarcastically remarked how "amazing" Luna Nova Academy is until the two stumble upon a broken staircase. With so little time to figure out the way to go upstairs, the two are forced to improvise where Andrew hoists Akko upwards before dangerously jumping over Arcas with the beast's snout as a footing, displaying a remarkable acrobatic feat in doing so. The chase continues to upper floors culminating to Andrew and Akko hanging for their dear lives. Hilariously, whereas Andrew is hanging on the ledge of the building, Akko does the same on the hem of Andrew's pants instead, threaten to pull it off under her own weight. Realizing what happened, the embarrassed Akko cries out that she didn't mean to do that, which certainly doesn't help their situation as Andrew knows it — the angry Arcas lunges towards them in the middle of their argument, unwittingly causing three of them plummeting to the ground far below. Fortunately, Ursula appears and magically conjures magical bubbles around them each to slow their descent, though the French professor temporarily render Akko and Andrew unconscious so she can reveal her identity to Arcas in a bid to calm him down without them seeing who she truly is.
Some time afterwards, the newly awakened Akko is startled upon realizing that she somehow sat on top of Andrew. Entering the Fountain's entrance nearby with the young Hanbridge on her side, they walk through a staircase leading to a stone fountain in the middle of a space-like dimension. Recognizing it as the Fountain of Polaris she sought, Akko pleads to the Fountain to bestow her the magic of stars. But instead of granting her wish, the fountain shows the Japanese witch-in-training Chariot's past: Like her, Chariot sought the magic of stars within the Fountain of Polaris out of frustration over her shortcomings in magic, but the Fountain disappeared before her eyes because she was not yet worthy at the time. Unwilling to give up, Chariot takes her studies more seriously, leading to her becoming a talented witch and subsequently, worthy enough for aforementioned power. The Fountain's montage about Chariot's past struggles concludes with her demonstrating her newfound power by transforming into a fiery giant bird accompanied by the emergence of what appeared to be young Alcor. It is when Akko and Andrew unexpectedly teleported back to the outside of the Fountain's entrance.
Baffled by what just transpired, Akko finally receive her answers from Ursula who enters the scene. The Fountain indeed appears to those with hidden radiance but, it will disappear if such person too immature to be worthy for magic of stars within. Upon Ursula's statement where Akko knows better that she must work hard to achieve her dreams, the Japanese witch-in-training doesn't deny it, remembering how she inspired Hope to do so prior. In her realization that she must do the same, Akko teaerfully expresses her desire to be a witch like Shiny Chariot. Satisfied by her answer, Ursula returns Shiny Rod to Akko before awkwardly offers to restore her and Andrew back to normal under the condition where they must keep that night's fiasco a secret.
Back at her dorm room, Akko's relief where her roommates bring her some food from the banquet under Badcock's nose is short-lived because Sucy poured some spices all over them.
====Chapter 11====
Now that she had a second chance in her enrollment at Luna Nova following her near-expulsion, Akko resolves to take her studies more than ever. Her change to better surprised Amanda because she intended to ask Akko to join her in the screening of Constanze's new movie "Sharks vs. Cowboys". Unfortunately for the Irish-American, Akko refuses and pushes her out of the library in order to focus on her studies.
Even so, Akko hits a rock bottom because she has yet to fully understand subjects she currently studies. Things become more complicated when Amanda returns with a newly stolen answer sheet and tempts her to take it. The Japanese witch-in training's comical attempt to refuse it results the dejected Irish-American exiting the library, leaving the answer sheet within Akko's grasp. The Japanese witch-in-training soon confides with Lotte and Sucy about the matter at hand after they catch her examining the sheet. She knows better that the professors won't take kindly of the sheet's theft and rejects Sucy's suggestion of using it, remembering Pisces' role in defending her prior and already resolved not to cheat as she worked her way to become like Shiny Chariot. The best course of action is of course, returning the stolen answer sheet one way or another rather than disposing it and risking Amanda's expulsion.
Unfortunately, Akko's attempt to return the answer sheet meets some complications; while on her way for the professors' office, the Japanese witch-in-training accidentally triggers one of their' hidden magical traps which, to her horror, shrinks her into the size of adult human's hand in a dust-like explosion. This draws the attention of nearby goblin and troll night patrols she clumsily evades before coming across a cockroach. As if getting chased by some disgusting insect is awful enough, thet are spotted by the same patrols culminating to their ibis bird-like cohort eating the cockrach, much to the disgust of everyone's present. Nevertheless, this turn of events allows Akko to slip away unnoticed by the patrols.
Unable to continue due to her predicament, Akko has no choice but to return to her friends just as Lotte and Sucy go to Amanda's dorm room to enlist their aid in finding her. She even resorts to get their attention by crawling into Lotte's clothes upon seeing that they cannot hear her. In the middle of the Japanese witch-in-training's ensuing argument with Amanda about what to do, Finnelan catches them red-handed with the stolen answer sheet. At the student counseling room, as Finnelan getting occupied in assessing the situation, Akko is dismayed by Amanda's resolve to confess the truth. Fortunately, the Irish-American's honesty ensured her and Akko to receive detention in form of laundry duty with Lotte and Sucy helping them instead of expulsion.
====Chapter 11.5====
Akko brings Lotte along in the race for the cafeteria so as to be able to try the limited edition dessert baked by a famed patissier from the capital. Unfortunately for them, their odds are mounting because Amanda, Constanze, Jasminka, and Diana outpace the duo and worse, everyone is distracted by a delicious smell from Sucy's homemade brew. To add insult to injury, Finnelan reprimands them from making a fuss in such trivial competition.
====Chapter 12====
For the upcoming physical exam, Akko eats umeboshi as part of her strict diet, even though her approach leaves Lotte wondering whether she should consume few meals from cafeteria as part of the procedure.
Just then, the Japanese witch-in-training sees Jasminka eating lots of food as usual, much to her worry that she eventually insists the young Antonenko to fast in order to lose weight. She goes so far foils the latter's attempts to sneak some snacks every single time, even during classes. While confiscating Jasminka's supply of snacks later that night, Akko dismisses Amanda's concern of her going too far upon seeing the young Antonenko extremely starved. As much as she takes Jasminka's confession of her eating habits all this time being the result of eating a hunger faery by mistake as a child with a grain of salt, Akko finally relents and allows Jasminka to eat one of her pickle plums, unaware of it not enough to quell what she will unleash.
To Akko's horror later that night, Jasminka's confession earlier is proven genuine and that the hunger faery inside her had just taken over, eating Amanda along with Jasminka's confiscated snacks in front of her. The Japanese witch-in-training barely able to maintain her composure when she unwittingly draws the faery's attention, causing her to run out of Amanda's dorm room screaming. Abruptly realizing her mistake (which didn't help by implications of the professors won't handle it in the way she wanted), she hastily assures everyone about situation at hand before continues her way for Constanze, Lotte, and Sucy. But by the time she frantically informs her friends about the problem, Jasminka's hunger faery is already in the dormitory's corridor and eating anyone it gets its tentacles on. To add insult to injury, the faery consumes Diana before she has a chance to properly confront it, much to their, Hannah, and Barbara's chagrin.
After Lotte and Sucy's attempt to use Metamorphosis Magic on Jasminka's rampaging hunger faery in an attempt to turn it into something more harmless as per Akko's suggestion fails and Constanze could only do so much in providing them cover fire that it eventually managed to devour them, Akko steps in and tries to reach out for Jasminka to no avail, though pickle plums in her pocket thankfully prevents Jasminka's hunger faery from eating her and forces it to reguritate Lotte and Sucy at the same time, much to the German mechanic's disgust. It is when the disoriented yet otherwise unharmed Lotte reveals to Akko that salt affected faeries as much as Ley Lines, prompting Akko to lunge at the maw of Jasminka's hunger faery to force-feed it with her remaining pickled pums, forcing it to vomit up the rest of everyone that it ate and enter dormancy, restoring Jasminka back to normal. Afterwards, Akko tearfully apologizes to Jasminka for not believing her thus causing this mess. in which the young Russian witch-in-training assures her that she has no hard feelings towards her for it.
Predictably, the entire commotion awakes Finnelan also. To spare Jasminka from troubles she (Akko) unwittingly caused, Akko and the reluctant Sucy take the blame by claiming the whole chaos being the result of the Manbavaran's experiment. As the result, not only the two have to clean up the mess, but also Sucy picks Akko up as her "messy guinea pig" from there on.
On the next morning, Akko, Lotte, and Jasminka eat sandwiches together despite Lotte's concern whether it will affect her diet. Akko points out that self-denial won't do any good, which help by few sandwitches won't hurt. To Sucy's chagrin and Jasminka's nervousness' Akko asks the latter whether eating a hungery faery prevents gaining weight.
====Chapter 13====
While getting lost in Luna Nova's darkened halls in her attempt to sneak into the academy's kitchen, Akko stumbles upon a maintenance studio in which Constanze fixes her fellow students' electronic appliances. She is soon guided by Constanze out of the studio and toward the kitchen, but not before sneaking a tray of snacks Constanze meant to left for her acquaintances.
On the next day, Akko finds Constanze receiving complains from her clients who claimed their electronics' problems only worsened. Upon being hinted by Constanze that she might has something to do with it, Akko denies such accusation and instead loudly rallies Constanze to search the studio for more likely culprit, though a teacher's arrival forces them to have to wait after the class.
Akko and Constanze begins the investigation by accessing maintenance studio's security footage via. one of Constanze's Stanbot. Impatient at first due to a momentary glitch, Akko notices a fast movement on the display, hinting the saboteur they are looking for is a small creature infesting the chamber.
Now that they know what they up against, Akko and Constanze enlist Lotte and Sucy's aid in catching the mystery saboteur. Akko informs the two that she had Amanda and Jasminka guarding their dorm room in case of the culprit trespassing it too only to be reminded by Constanze through her stanbot that the Japanese witch-in-training is still in the list of likely suspect. But the saboteur is more cunning than they assumed and even not alone. When Akko and Constanze search the darkened maintenance studio, one of them harasses Lotte so the other swiftly disarms Sucy of her wand. Fast movements later, the same saboteur dismantles Constanze's stanbot in its gun mode before its cohorts gang up on her only to be forced to abrupt retreat when Akko lunges into their path. Despite minor bruises from the full brunt of their assault, Akko, after certain that the German mechanic is out of harm's way, manages to catch one of unlucky saboteurs; a small impish creature with wrench-like tail.
Lotte reveals to Akko that the creature in her hands is in fact, a Wisdom Fairy, a type of gremlin that assists tinkerers with inventions in exchange of tributes. Upon hearing this, Akko immediately accuses the small creature in her hands and its cohorts for extorting her friend only for Lotte arguing that they simply ask simple rewards such as food. It is when the Japanese witch-in-training realizes Constanze and Wisdom Fairy pack in her maintenance studio have worked together as friends for quite some time and that pastries she ate on the other day was meant for the latter. Sure enough, Akko runs off while apologizing as soon as Constanze turns against her for causing such misunderstanding in the first place.
====Chapter 14====
Akko catches up with Lotte and Sucy for the class and unknowingky turned into the former's likeness by the latter as Lotte must provide Annabel a tour around Luna Nova.
Later that night, Akko is dismayed that she missed Annabel's visit but nonetheless asks Lotte to tell her more about it. When Akko suggests how much Sucy probably a Night Fall fan herself, Sucy interrupts her by using a potion that causes a large mushroom comically growing on her head, much to her horror.
====Chapter 15====
Upon learning from Hannah and Barbara that Diana is afflicted with Burning Sickness which unfortunately coincided with the upcoming interschool broom race, Akko understandably cannot stand idle as the reputation of Luna Nova is at stake and sets out to ask Ursula whether there's something she can do, but not before declaring that she also wishes to surpass Diana. But things aren't kind for Akko as Ursula states that there's indeed nothing she can do about the upcoming interschool broom race without the medicine for curing Burning Sickness. Ursula then tells the desperate Japanese witch-in-training that there's no shortcut for immediate result before revealing the Second Word of Seven Words of Arcturus, "Phaidoari Afairynghor", which means one can't simply have things they dream for but will be rewarded if they work on it instead. Returning to her dorm room, Akko finally learned that her friends have already set out for the cure's ingredients through Lotte's note, prompting the Japanese witch-in-training to remind herself that it's not the time to be depressed and that there's still something she can do.
Despite her efforts, Akko has yet to make any meaningful efforts in her Flight Magic. While recalling Ursula's advice in the previous night, Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka show up to inform her that other students have gathered at the courtyard to meet the rival school's professor and her team in the upcoming interschool broom race. Putting aside her doubts over her abilities, she joins the three in the meeting along with the rest. 
At the courtyard, Akko, Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka are introduced by Nelson to the rival school's headmistress and her representatives. An uproar ensues among Luna Nova students present when Nelson reluctantly reveals Diana's predicament, at which Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka step in on her stead. To Akko and Nelson's shock, the rival school's headmistress personally elects the Japanese witch-in-training to be Luna Nova's anchor through her accomplishment in riding Shooting Star a while prior.
====Chapter 16====
As per the rival school headmistress, Akko has no choice but to participate in the interschool broom race. She brings Shiny Rod with her in hopes of it will make a difference in such important event. It is when she becomes acquainted with Miraj who claims to be a fellow Shiny Chariot fan. Yet such turn of events seems to be too good to be true as Miraj's tone turns ominous when she offers to teach Akko how to fly with magic broom in exchange of Shiny Rod. But Akko refuses as she already made up her mind to return it to her idol someday and that it will bring her to the latter. Intimidated by Miraj who clearly won't take no for answer, Akko falls from the ledge, allowing Miraj to callously take the Rod as Diana saves its owner just in nick of time.
====Chapter 17====
Akko is pleasantly surprised by Diana's arrival, more so because it was thanks to Sucy who brew her the cure. Akko demands the indifferent Miraj Shiny Rod back but, the latter instead dares both Akko and Diana to come and claim it by force. As a result, the two have no choice but to take the rival student's challenge, leaving others baffled by what just transpired.
Miraj attempts to use the Shiny Rod on Diana and Akko when the Cavendish proves herself no pushover in moving past Slalom Ruins even while carrying the Japanese witch-in-training at the same time, but the Rod is unresponsive in her grasp. So, she tosses Shiny Rod aside leading to Akko almost plummeting to the ground far below again in retrieving it. Diana promptly catches Akko again and gets mocked by Miraj for saving her seemingly useless fellow student. The Cavendish however, justifies her actions by rightfully pointing out that Akko's determination against her odds made her far from useless like Miraj believes to be, leaving the Japanese witch-in training moved.
Things get heated up when Miraj responds by magically manipulates the trees below them to create a complicated maze around Akko and Diana as well as conjures enchanted leaves which fly orbiting the Cavendish's head to blind her. As a result, Akko has no choice but to guide Diana through the altered terrain on her behalf. Exiting the maze, they find Miraj already far away and about to reach the finish line. Unwilling to give up, Akko and Diana improvise by using Shiny Rod's bow form with which the Japanese witch-in-training launches herself towards the finish line while on Diana's broom and assumes her winged elephant form for the first time for a good measure, effectively winning the race and catching Miraj off-guard. To her chargin, the form she chose amuses her friends that they can't help but laugh at her.

As the result of Sucy testing experimental sleeping potion right during Finnelan's class, Akko must copy the class' studying materials from chapter 1 to chapter 3 for it, which is 40 pages worth. Narrowly exposed to another of Sucy's concoctions, her mood improves after Lotte provides her some insight about Doras Hill, a special place full of magic where fairies have gathered for centuries and their field trip destination in the next night. The field trip is also Luna Nova's opportunity to fulfill its long time tradition of bringing its first-year students there as sort of good luck ritual to become full-fledged witches. To her dismay, such holy place can only be accessed through Ley Lines thus she must get around her inability to fly with her broom somehow.
Having managed to complete her assignment in time to join the field trip to Doras Hill, Akko is fortunate to have Ursula lend her a broom ride and Diana imploring Hannah and Barbara who insult her for it to stand down. Still, she laments that either possessing Shooting Star or having her own broom modified to get around her inability to fly would save her a lot of trouble. Instead Ursula reminded Akko about Chariot's message which allowed the brunette to recover the long-lost Shiny Rod in the first place, improving her student's mood thus allowing her to regain her excitement over the field trip.
Arriving at Doras Hill, she joins the others listening to Finnelan and Diana's lecture about the area's history along with Sifla the 1st — a mythical witch as accomplished as the likes of Jennifer the Witch and Nine Olde Witches famed for her courage in making contract with Fairy King of Doras Hill himself, establishing a long line of legendary guardians of the Hill. Fortunately for Akko, she's well-informed about the legends thanks to it discussed in her assignment earlier.
When the current Sifla refuses the audience from anyone for some reasons and apparently inherited her title at the very young age, the worried Akko decides to visit her.despite Lotte's hesitation to join her. Although the Japanese witch-in-training has ulterior motives in mind (seeing whether she can learn a useful spell or two from the mythical witch and ensuring Sifla won't discipline Sucy for taking the leaves from Doras Hill's sacred trees without her permission), they will have to wait given to more pressing matter at hand. It takes Lotte and the latest inheritor of Sifla title discovering their common passion for Night Fall series the latter finally gets out of her funk. Upon seeing the current Sifla at last, Akko must be restrained by Lotte so she won't give the latter a tackle hug because:
#Despite her astonishingly beautiful visage, she's not in the best mood due to still mourning her recently deceased grandmother.
#Her childhood friends, Feoras and Alan, are missing.
Not wanting to see the new guardian crying anymore, Akko makes up her mind to find both Feoras and Alan and bring her roommates along in the search since they're "three hearts that beat as one." Whereas Lotte still uneasy about potential troubles Akko will bring themselves into in the process, Sucy relents only after a brief yet tough negotiation that concluded with Akko agrees to let herself being experimented upon by the Manbavaran 3 times without complaining once everything is over. Delighted, Sifla tells them about what Feoras and Alan look like and where they likely went to but, due to had yet to complete her training, she cannot understand their farewell message if any. Before they go, Sifla entrusts Akko one of her willow branch bracelets for the job.
Secretly following Diana's instruction of how to enter the Country of the Fairies (circling Stone Doras nine times), Akko, Lotte, and Sucy soon surrounded by the mist that comes from nowhere while spotting a secret stairway leading to the underground that just revealed itself to them. Stepping down through the stairway with Will-o'-chan helps illuminating their surroundings through its lantern that Lotte carries, they move past a tunnel at the end leading to the coronation of the new king of Cait-Sith, which is none other than Feoras himself. The three friends' presence is met by hostility from Feoras' kin with their leader fortunately manages to calm them down; it occurs to Akko and co. that Cait-Sith are on the edge with their arrival didn't make things easy. 
Akko then informs Feoras about Sifla's current predicament, at which he explains that he'll return home as soon as he concludes his business in the Country of Fairies; right now, he must compete against Alan to determine who shall become the latest king of Doras Hill and importantly, proving his people and the rest of proud inhabitants of the Country of Fairies that the current Sifla is worthy to be Doras Hill's newest guardian. It's revealed Feoras and Alan have some differences which hard to reconcile owing to their contrasting personalities; the former is responsible one while the latter so lazy he'll make a poor example to his people. Yet Feoras proved no better because strict adherence to his people's ways and devotion as their new king has changed him into a distant and impersonal shadow of his former self. In fact, Akko notices Feoras' current mindset being unsettlingly similar to that of Diana and traditionalistic teachers in Luna Nova except that he's more bitter, if his indifference towards Sifla's feelings more than he admitted to be believed.
Just then, they hear a commotion from Coin-Sith's territory, prompting Akko, Lotte, and Sucy to investigate with reluctant Feoras accompanying them. Turns out Coin-Sith have their own witch problem; they just captured Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka who unwittingly entered their lands by circling Stone Doras nine times counterclockwise instead of clockwise like red team did. Akko and her friends are beheld the disgraceful sight of Alan sleeping when he supposedly takes his newfound duty as the latest king of Coin-Sith. Akko's insistence of Feoras and Alan to conclude their business in the Country of Fairies as soon as possible inspires Alan to make an unheard decision where he let her join the trial for the position of the fairy king as well, justifying that there's no mention of it being Sith-exclusive. Naturally, Akko answers the challenge without even having Amanda encouraging her to do so albeit under the condition where she has Lotte and Sucy as the backup. Impressed by the Japanese witch-in-training's determination, Alan lets Amanda, Constanze, and Jasminka go as her extra assistance if she wishes to, adding that winning the title of fairy king is the only way for Akko and her friends to return to the outside world. As much as he questioned such unorthodox idea, Feoras begrudgingly agrees since he eventually had to clean up everyone's messes as usual in the end and announces the beginning of the trial for the fairy king title.
Akko and the others begin the trial by consuning a special concoction that has been prepared beforehand on Doras Stone's stone table, said to be handed down from the first fairy king and made of leaves of Doras Hill's thirteen sacred trees boiled in holy water. Through the concoction's psychoactive influence, Akko receives a vision about original Sifla along with original kings of Cait-Sith and Coin-Sith of Doras Hill. When she wakes up, Akko learns that everyone is similarly passed out with her awakened the last. The next step of the trial is reviving the sacred trees of Doras Hill.
While in the middle of reviving the trees and reaching the fifth one, a willow tree, Akko places both her hands on its trunk as per the clue in the song ("The witch comes bathed in moonlight; a bridge to the fairies' past she'll bring."). This allows her to contact Sifla via. astral projection with aid of their willow branch bracelets. She informs Sifla of the situation which leaves the latter mixed. But when the Japanese witch-in-training finally tells Sifla about her vision, she had no chance to see the latter's reaction because their bracelets run out of power. Afterwards, she reluctantly drinks a potion mixed with powdered trunk extract of the next sacred tree — a hawthorn tree — brewed by Sucy herself which counts as part of their bargain earlier. Under its psychoactive effects, Akko learns a truth about the original fairy king of Doras Hill which long forgotten/denied by proud Coin-Sith and Cait-Sith of Doras Hill:
*The original Sifla's belief about magic exists to bring smile and joy upon everyone that aligns with Shiny Chariot's own.
*Contrary to proud Cait-Sith and Coin-Sith's beliefs, the title of fairy king is shared by three people instead of one; a Sifla, a Cat-Sith king, and a Cu-Sith king. Whereas the cats (Cait-Sith) bring freedom, dogs (Coin-Sith) ensures loyalty and the witches (particularly Sifla) wields the power to protect. As such, they must uphold their promise to work together so they can ensure the peace and prosperity throughout Doras Hill at its fullest.
When Akko relays her friends about her findings, she is able to tell from Feoras and Alan's expressions alone that the two handled the revelation poorly and realize Sifla herself should be the one who directly help them. Sure enough, when the original Sifla appears to her, Feoras, and Alan at last, Alan made his denial and resentment over the truth behind Fairy King of Doras Hill which contradicted what people believed to be known, and expresses his desire to become the all-powerful fairy king who shall subjugate Coin-Sith along with the rest of fairies of Doras Hill and silence those who question him. Alan is left devastated by the sight of his reluctant friend's stubbornness that darkened his heart as much as Akko does and therefore obliged to put him in their place. Consequently, after breaking up their fight, the disappointed Sifla the 1st gives the two great power so they can fight as they please with the helpless Akko only able to watch things unfold before her eyes.
When Feoras and Alan forcibly turned into monstrous, kaiju-version of themselves and dangerously bring their brutal fight to Doras Hill, Amanda and Akko fly toward the two to try to reason with them to no avail. Things become complicated with Diana attempts to attack the two until Akko stops her, but at that very moment, Feoras accidentally knocks both the Japanese witch-in-training and Irish-American off their broom with his tail, prompting Diana to fly circling around them at high speed to create a weak twister to slow their descent so they can safely land onto her broom. Akko explains to Ursula who just show up about how all of this started, in which the French professor believes Sifla the 1st did what she must to show the Japanese witch-in-training how much Feoras and Alan lost their way and it's up to her to do her part in humbling them.
To save Feoras and Alan from themselves as well as proving Diana that the two can be saved, Akko and Sifla has Sucy brewing panacea out of boiled leaves of 13 Sacred Trees of Doras Hill. Approaching Feoras and Alan with Lotte and Sucy's help, Akko and Sifla drink a portion of the panacea before pouring the rest on the maws of mutated kings of Cait-Sith and Coin-Sith. Though their roars nearly repel the new guardian of Doras Hill off her broom, she nevertheless manages to succeed and prepares to cast a spell to purify them. Remembering the second to final lyric of the song of the fairy king, Akko finally understands her role in this kind of situation: To show the wonders of magic like Shiny Chariot did in her show. As their willow amulets shine in silver color signifying their power boost under the moonlight, Sifla casts Stellar Purge Spell (Arnei Tolskal) onto her corrupted friends with Akko instinctively following the suit with her Shiny Rod all at once, calling forth the stars that then explode into a rain of purifying stardust whizzing through the night sky at an unbelievable speed, gradually restoring both kings of Cat-Sith and Cu-Sith back to their normal selves. 
In the aftermath of the chaos, Akko doesn't approve Diana for being too harsh towards Feoras, Alan, and Sifla, even though the Cavendish has a valid point about them supposedly working together to begin with. To Akko and Lotte's relief, they don't have to immediately return to Luna Nova catching up with the others since the crisis now already resolved. And so, Akko and co. decided to take their time having a picnic at Doras Hill with Diana who least enthusiastic about such idea.
During the picnic, Ursula praises Akko for her part in saving the day thanks to her understanding of the importance of studying magical history. This delights Akko considering none of Luna Nova professors genuinely praised her for her accomplishment until that night. For a moment, Akko begins to wonder whether Ursula and Shiny Chariot are the same person because the latter unintentionally slipped a hint (remarking Akko being capable of doing what she couldn't) only for the French professor's clumsiness ruled out such possibility.
As she wonders whether inhabitants of Doras Hill had lost their way due to their pride made them blind and later, forgot the truth about Fairy King of Doras Hill, Akko is asked by Lotte why she wanted to help the current Sifla, Feoras, and Alan so badly. Akko confesses that she's able to understand Sifla's loneliness since she felt the same thing during her journey for Luna Nova up until stumbling upon the young Manbavaran and the Finnish back then. Moreover, she wanted the three to work together to accomplish the impossible like they did during their first day at Luna Nova. The touching moment gets sour a bit because Sucy reminds Akko that her next experiment should conclude their bargain, though the Japanese witch-in-training puts that aside as she declares her dreams to be a witch like Shiny Chariot as a host of falling stars races across the sky over her head brought forth by Sifla, Feoras, and Alan's singing.
