Return to the bookshelf. Come on! Return!
Noctu Orfei Aude Fraetor!
It's still not working.
Professor...
Ursula. I teach magic astrology.
-Professor Ursula. -Yes.
Is there something else?
Yes, I'm your guidance counselor.
Guidance counselor?
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
I will help you anyway I can.
This is a school-supplied broom.
That wand!
This one? This is Shiny Chariot's magic wand.
Professor, do you know Chariot?
Well, kind of.
-Oh, Lotte told me. -What?
She said we must report to the school if we find anything.
But I feel I will be able to meet Chariot if I have this in my possession.
If I do, I will return this to her.
You found that wand, so you should keep it.
The wand's magic will surely guide you.
Professor, may I write my name on my broom?
I'll be able to fly now!
It's the belief in myself that'll make up my magic.
I'm gonna do it! Yay!
"It's the belief in myself that'll make up my magic." I see...
Akko, calm down.
I can't calm down because the broom flying class is about to start!
Finally, I get to learn how to ride a broom!
-Do you know what this scar is? -No.
When I was a kid, I fell from a tree practicing riding a broom.
This one I got when I rolled down a hill.
This one is from when I fell off my roof.
There's no way you can fly without the Sorcerer's Stone.
The reason we can use magic freely here is because of the Sorcerer's Stone.
I didn't know that the Sorcerer's Stone created magic energy when I was a kid!
I just randomly practiced, believing that I could fly.
Now I will be able to fly for real!
My childhood dream will come true!
Okay, okay. Calm down.
Broom flying class is now in session.
New students will have a special class. Others will practice how to gain speed.
All right. Begin!
Tia Freyre!
New students, come over here!
Broom flying is the most basic magic for a witch,
-but be very careful or you will get hurt. -Yes!
First, hold the broom.
Pay respect to the broom, then get on.
Imagine yourself flying in the air, cast the spell, and take off.
Tia Freyre!
-Tia Freyre! Tia Freyre! -Concentrate!
Concentrate on the broom!
Tia Freyre! Tia Freyre! Tia Freyre!
Tia Freyre!
You could win a screaming contest.
I've never seen anyone as bad at flying as you.
All right!
Amanda!
Acrobatics are forbidden during class!
How many times do I have to tell you?
That's not fun.
Hey! Never sleep while flying!
-8.02 seconds. -Amazing! That's a new record, Diana.
Diana will be the favorite for this year's broom relay.
Hey, Akko.
You still don't know how to ride a broom?
If that's the case, this would be perfect for you.
Oruihon Deance!
That's not funny!
Practice more and you'll be flying soon enough.
I thought I had good coordination.
What are they doing?
It's for the broom relay coming up.
They are practicing passing the baton.
Broom relay?
The Luna Nova Cup broom relay. It's a tradition.
Teams of three race towards the finish while passing along a baton.
I see.
Chariot?
It's Chariot! Hey, it's Chariot!
Amazing! Chariot was in this relay and won!
Great! Now I want to race, too!
I want to be a champion and have my photo next to hers.
But Akko, you don't even know how to ride a broom.
You said it, Lotte. I'll be able to if I practice more.
Yes, but the relay is coming up very soon.
Chariot is just as amazing as I thought!
Well, I'm going to the Magic Item Café to pick up my repaired broom.
Magic Item Café? What is that?
Do you want to come?
If we used our brooms, we'd be here in a flash.
The energy of the Sorcerer's Stone is weak in town,
so we can't really use our magic here.
I see.
By the way, what kind of store is Magic Item Café?
They sell all kind of magic items. You can also have tea there.
Really?
Here we are.
What? Here?
-Welcome. -I'm here to pick up my broom.
Well... Oh, this one. I'll be right back.
Where is the café?
It's a little different than I expected.
Juice that will turn you into a frog's leg?
Candy that will turn you into a chameleon's tongue?
Sounds phony.
A broom?
Wait, could this be...
This is the legendary broom, the Shooting Star!
The Shooting Star?
It is said that once upon a time, a witch crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a broom.
The broom works without the energy of the Sorcerer's Stone.
The legendary broom has magic power in itself.
When it flies, it looks exactly like a shooting star.
A broom with magic power...
I want it.
Hey! Don't touch that broom! It's locked up!
-Locked up? -Yes.
It's so dangerous, that'll keep flying even after the rider falls off.
But as long as it locked up,
even if the broom escapes, the chain will pull it back.
A dangerous broom.
If this one escapes, the owner will get so mad at me.
Is it that fast?
They say that it once passed a jet.
-Let me borrow it! -Akko!
With this, I may be able to fly and win the broom relay!
One day is all I need. Please!
You? You're going to enter the broom relay?
Yes! And I'm going to win!
No way! There's nobody who can ride this crazy broom.
Besides, this year's winner will be Diana. No doubt about it.
"This year's favorite and most popular rider is, without a doubt, Diana."
What?
A legendary broom, huh?
I can't believe everyone keeps saying "Diana, Diana."
Don't they know I'm also a potential winner?
-If only I could ride a broom. -Miss Kagari.
Professor Ursula!
You don't know how to ride a broom, right? Here, this might help.
"My First Broom Ride"?
This is a textbook for beginners,
-but it tells you how to ride a broom. -I feel like I can do it with this!
Thank you, Professor!
Let's see. "A broom loves cleaning.
Clean with your broom regularly,
and communicate with it so it knows who the rider is."
Let's do some cleaning.
This is what you love to do, Broomy!
Tia Freyre!
I'm your rider!
You know what? If you don't fly, this is what's going to happen!
Tia Freyre!
Please, please, please! Please fly!
Tia Freyre!
I had a hunch before, but Akko is stupid, isn't she?
Sucy, we can't win like this!
I'm not interested in a relay.
But you are in it, too!
I already entered our names.
What? When did you do that?
It's going to be a forfeit.
No! We have to win and get our photo displayed next to Chariot's.
Wow! If you win the championship,
you'll get a trophy and a prize from Professor Lukić.
Wow! Lukić!
Who is Professor Lukić again?
Our professor for introduction to potions.
People call her Professor Occult.
I see, I wonder what the prize will be.
It must be really cool.
Hey, what is this?
In order to win, you first have to be able to ride your broom.
You are a type of person who needs to learn by doing.
Help me!
Are you going to kill me?
Are you getting the hang of it?
Let's see the results of all your training.
I don't know. But if you say so!
All right.
Tia Freyre!
We have to find another method.
We are now starting the 1333rd Luna Nova Cup broom relay.
The winning team will gain honor and pride.
They will also be rewarded with the prize from Professor Lukić.
Good luck to all!
Hello, broom relay fans around the world!
Luna Nova News Network is broadcasting live.
It looks like all the riders are here and are ready to race!
Everybody looks so fast.
I see the dark horse, Amanda O'Neill! How excited are you?
Well, I'm just here to have fun.
Hey, be quiet!
That's nothing!
-Amanda is also racing. -There she is!
I'm Atsuko Kagari! I'm also very excited...
Here's everyone's favorite to win, Diana! How excited are you?
Not at all. I just fly like I always do.
All the teams, assemble here.
You are to fly the Luna Nova's special course for this broom relay.
Don't forget to charge energy from the Sorcerer's Stone.
The first rider must check to make sure the baton is secure.
If the baton is damaged, lost,
or can't be passed to the next rider, you will be disqualified.
Now, the first riders must get to their starting position,
while the second and third riders quickly move to their relay positions.
You're in the race, too?
Do you want me to put training wheels on that?
-That's not nice. -Don't pay attention to them.
We are the ones who are going to win!
Sucy, you seem confident, but I'm not that fast.
It's all right. Ride the way you usually do, Lotte.
On your mark, get set...
Tia Freyre!
What's this?
I gave nutrients to the other brooms so there's no competition. Easy win!
Tia Freyre!
What's going on? The brooms aren't taking off!
Currently in first place is Miss Glasses,
the ordinary Lotte Jansson, followed by...
Constanze Amalie von Braunschbank Albrechtsberger.
Tough name for a live broadcast!
Wait, is that a...
broom?
Wow!
Constanze just took first place! Here comes the first relay position!
The first one to arrive is the mechanic geek Constanze!
They customized their brooms! No wonder the nutrients didn't work.
Sucy!
Lotte, over here!
In second place is Sucy Manbavaran!
The leader is now the competitive eating champion of the witch world,
Jasminka Antonenko!
Riding sideways, so calm and composed!
Oh, no! What's going on? Jasminka is going off course!
Eat as much as you want.
I'm Amanda, a rebel like you.
Let's be friends.
Ouch!
You...
Hey, wait!
Stop resisting!
There is no broom that I can't handle.
Currently way ahead of everyone is the mushroom poison queen, Sucy!
Sucy! Over here!
Akko, get ready!
What a clumsy way to fly!
I don't care, as long as I win!
See you later!
This is unexpected! Frog jump!
Is the frog girl Akko going to get away?
What is she doing?
Tia Freyre!
The riders who got stuck at the starting line
are now trying to catch up.
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, quack, quack, quack.
Is that...
I knew it! The legendary broom!
Come back! I won't let you go!
I did it! I can ride a broom!
I'm going to hang on, no matter what!
Watch out! Move, move!
Diana!
Thank you, Diana.
This is payment for my debt to you.
-Debt? -You've got scratches all over.
You should give up and call the nurse. You won't make it beyond this point.
Hmm? Oh, yeah, the broom!
I don't mind some scratches! One or two or three or four or five or six!
I'm going to get on that broom no matter what!
You can't shake me off!
I'm going to hang on until the end of the world!
Currently in first place is the reliable cool beauty Diana!
Can she manage to hold on?
I'm worried about Akko.
Maybe she gave up and retired somewhere.
Someone else is gaining on her... Akko!
-Akko is flying on a broom! -You're kidding.
Akko?
In third place is the dark horse, the rebellious Amanda!
It's my broom. Give it back to me!
Hey, Akko!
Amanda is disqualified. She failed to grab the baton!
It's not a baton, but a doughnut!
What a development! It's now a race between Diana and Akko!
Amazing! Akko is flying on a broom!
She's just hanging on to it.
It's still amazing! Go, Akko!
They are neck and neck! They are now in the homestretch!
Who's going to win?
Congratulations on the win!
What a surprise Miss Kagari finished second,
even though she can't ride a broom.
I'm surprised, too.
At least she has passion.
Only passion for now.
But someday...
