If one uses magic to practice fraud,
his tongue will be cut out.
If one uses magic to commit murder...
he will be slowly eaten alive by mice,
with their sharp front teeth.
What's so funny?
And if one resurrects the dead...
Imagine something so horrible, you'll wish you were dead.
You will experience something
that is 100 times more painful and terrifying than that.
Professor!
Will that be on our next exam?
Yes, it will.
What's weird? Me?
Yeah, usually you're always sleeping during the legal studies of magic classes.
Hey, Constanze is going to show
Apkallu: Merman of the Nemi and Apkallu 2: Revenge of the Merman back to back
on the movie projector she secretly made.
I'll pass. We have exams coming up.
You're going to study?
I wanna work hard to become like Chariot.
In order to move objects at will, you need to stay highly focused.
Professor, how many cubes of sugar would you like?
Two, please.
I'm impressed, Diana.
I can do that, too!
Oops.
Ms. Ursula! You're Atsuko Kagari's counselor, aren't you?
What kind of mentoring are you doing?
We will have to decide what to do with her,
depending on the results of her exams!
I'm sorry.
Well, let's study for the exams.
First, we'll start with the basic magic of moving objects.
Try to open that window.
Window!
Open!
You need to focus more.
Open! Open!
Open sesame!
I'm telling you to open!
We will perform a listening exam of avian language.
Owls and ravens are the most common among familiar spirits.
A witch must at least understand the raven's language.
Write down what this raven says on your answer sheets.
Well, then. Begin.
I didn't understand anything.
It was your first time, that's normal.
-"I'm hungry." -"I wanna eat."
I'm not good at avian language!
You mean you're not good at avian language either, right?
Are you good at anything at all?
Next, you will have an exam in basic white magic.
It will be a practical test on repairing broken objects,
so I'll be teaching you restoration magic.
Restoration magic?
Sosomtee Dearay.
Here! I straightened the crooked spoon!
Next, Lotte Jansson.
Yes.
I will repair this shoe.
Trooto Estida.
You were great.
You and Diana are the only ones who got an A-plus in white magic.
I got a C-minus.
I've been conjuring spirits since I was a kid.
Your parents have a magic tools shop, right?
Yeah.
Although, some people think it's old-fashioned to repair tools using magic.
But since I'm here at Luna Nova,
I'm thinking of getting a magic tool handler's license.
A handler's license? What's that?
It's a national qualification. You don't know?
You need a license in order to work with magic tools.
Work?
The alumni are listed in here.
Some witches became plastic surgeons who use transfiguration magic,
and others are now crime scene investigators who use white magic.
Wow.
"Michelle, who excelled at astrology when she attended Luna Nova,
is now working as a fortune-teller in London."
What do you want to be, Akko?
I want to become like Chariot!
A witch who makes everybody happy, like Chariot.
I see.
What about you?
Was it your childhood dream to become a teacher?
Akko! Our next exam is flight magic!
Shoot!
See you later, professor!
My childhood dream...
All right! Out of my way!
Amanda O'Neill! Reckless flying is how accidents happen!
C-minus!
Seriously?
Next, Atsuko Kagari!
Fly! I'm telling you to fly!
D-minus.
It's a surprise you got a grade just by getting on a broom.
If you had flown normally, you would've gotten an A for sure.
I prefer flying freely.
You could become a broom dancer.
I'm not thinking about my future. I just wanna have fun.
By the way, let's go to the club tonight.
A friend of mine is a DJ. He'll let us in through the back.
I have to study.
We have exams in magical dietetics and basic alchemy tomorrow.
I have to review past exams.
Hey, Sucy, you haven't been feeding Akko some weird mushroom, have you?
All right!
I'm gonna work hard so I can become like Chariot!
I'm gonna study all night!
No! I fell asleep!
Next, Jasminka Antonenko.
Booten Dariardo.
It's sweeter, thanks to the gustation magic. But...
You're not allowed to eat during an exam. A-minus!
-Next, Atsuko Kagari! -Yes!
Booten Dariardo.
Constanze von Braunschbank Albrechtsberger.
Impressive.
But next time, turn it into something more valuable.
B-plus.
-Next, Atsuko Kagari. -Yes!
Everyone has their own strengths they get awarded for.
You have a strength, too.
I do? What is it?
What? What?
Well, anyway, your next exam is magical astronomy.
I have high hopes for you.
Yes.
According to the horoscope,
Luna Nova will overcome many obstacles.
Good.
That was a high-level astrological reading.
She's just saying innocuous things.
Do you want me to read your future as well?
I'll be a great witch like Chariot, of course!
I see it... Akko...
You will leave Luna Nova.
That's bogus!
You know, Diana's fortune-telling is accurate.
I don't think you can graduate.
You will surely drop out eventually.
What did you just say?
What are you doing?
Akko!
-What was that for? -Stop it!
Enough! What is going on?
Giving the teacher a poisoned apple,
blowing up the exam room and, on top of all that, fighting!
Hannah started it.
I don't want to hear excuses!
Miss Kagari, I don't think you have what it takes to be a witch.
If you fail your last exam,
I will expel you.
No! I don't want to be expelled!
Excuse me...
We can't let a witch who threatens the school's reputation stay here.
You agree, don't you, principal?
Yes, there's nothing we can do.
No...
Akko.
Do you think it's my fault, too?
Am I such a bad student?
I won't drop out!
So the last exam is magical philosophy.
Magical philosophy?
That's what you took as your elective?
I wonder how they're gonna hold an exam if there's no teacher.
No teacher?
It's always seatwork.
Everyone's just looking at a goldfish bowl.
Wait, that's not a goldfish.
Isn't it Professor Pisces?
Pi?
Hey, is that goldfish Professor Pisces?
Yes, it is.
-Is she even talking? -Of course.
Fish language is difficult
and that's why only advanced students of magical language take this class.
By the way, my Fish language score is 960.
What is she saying?
The exam will cover ontology of witches in altruistic behavior,
and reciprocal altruistic behavior of other species.
I see...
It's hopeless!
I don't understand what will be on the exam!
I don't know what I should study!
I might as well have dropped out already!
So, Diana's fortune-telling came true.
Diana's fortune-telling?
I will never let that come true!
I'm definitely not getting expelled yet.
I'll do it! I'm gonna do it!
-I can do it! -What a quick recovery...
Professor! Your fin looks so nice today.
It's very vivid and beautiful.
Here's an expensive bottle of water that all the celebrities are drinking.
I thought you might like it.
About today's exam,
I was thinking maybe you could go easy on me?
Professor Pisces!
What am I gonna do?
Mouth-to-mouth? No! She's a fish! Mouth-to-gill?
What do I do? That won't work!
Professor Pisces!
What?
You flushed Ms. Pisces down the drain?
I didn't mean to!
You can't give a fish mineral water.
I'm telling you, I didn't do it on purpose!
This is getting interesting.
What am I gonna do?
You could go look for her in the sewers.
She can't have gotten swept away too far.
-Yes! -Wait! Akko!
Professor! Please cover for me!
Professor Pisces!
We're not at school anymore,
so why don't we use transformation magic to become fish?
Then we'll be able to speak her language. It might be easier to find her.
Yeah.
Metamorphie Faciesse!
What is this?
You're a merman. That's hilarious!
I look so bad.
I'm gonna redo the spell.
Wait! The battery will only last for one more spell.
We have to keep it for when we go back.
What?
I never get bored when I'm with you, Akko.
Don't laugh!
We have to hurry, or you won't make it back in time for the exam.
Professor!
Professor Pisces!
Please answer if you're here!
We've come pretty far...
Akko! Where are you going?
Hello.
Have you seen a colorful fish with a long fin?
I haven't. I haven't.
Wow, I can understand fish language!
I'm sad. I'm sad.
Why are you crying?
Family gone.
Very sad.
Are you lost?
Akko, we have to find Professor Pisces and go back.
I'm sad. I'm sad.
It's okay! I will look for your family!
What?
So, don't be sad.
Thank you. Thank you.
We don't have time for that.
We can't just leave him.
We can help him while we look for Professor Pisces.
Ms. Pisces, I brought your exam papers.
You look different.
You have a cold? That's not good.
Okay, I'll be your assistant examiner.
We should help each other in times of need.
We'll start the magical philosophy exam now.
Professor Pisces!
What is that?
Father! Mother! Little sister! Little brother! Big brother!
Big brother! Little sister! Big brother!
Traps are not allowed in this lake.
I can't open it.
Well then...
No! If you use magic now, you won't make it back in time for your exam!
Right...
Everyone. Everyone.
Akko, let's go back to school for now.
Yeah...
Everyone...
Open sesame!
-Seriously? -Yes! I did it!
Professor Pisces?
Thank God!
We have to hurry.
Look.
Little sister!
Up we go.
Just one?
Did the trap not work properly?
Fish poaching. Never do it!
Yes.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
We made it!
Ms. Ursula, you were there, weren't you?
I am sorry.
Endangering Professor Pisces' life.
Professor Pisces says she had fun swimming
in a spacious lake for the first time in a while.
Indeed, that is what she said.
And that you received an A in magical philosophy.
Her evaluation is that you truly embodied the course content.
You understand fish language, Akko?
Yeah, somehow.
Still, this behavior is unacceptable!
"Merman sighted in the lake?"
What? Is that from today?
Is this Miss Kagari?
It's the greatest humiliation in our school's history!
I insist on expelling Atsuko Kagari, who has deeply disgraced this school.
Please wait!
Miss Kagari might indeed not be a good student,
and can't use magic well, compared to other students.
But now she understands fish language and,
though incomplete,
has used transformation magic.
We shouldn't compare her to the other students,
but to herself, when she first came to this school.
She has failed many times, but she is growing!
She has no value as a witch.
Shouldn't we value her for caring for someone who is sad,
and choosing to help that person, instead of thinking of herself?
Caring only about grades and public image is...
stupid!
I value her!
Principal, you have a strange phone call.
Someone is asking if the merman is a student at Luna Nova.
See? I told you.
Who's calling?
The environmental community.
They want to honor the merman for saving
an endangered species of fish from fish poaching.
Those fish were endangered species?
Tell them that the merman is a student of ours.
You do approve, don't you, Ms. Finnelan?
What about her expulsion?
If a student of ours is to be honored, we have to keep her.
Don't we, Miss Merman?
Thank goodness.
Good for you, Akko!
Although, you did cheat on the exam.
I will have to punish you for that.
How about this...
As punishment, you will live under one roof with me,
and I will teach you a witch's proper attitude of mind.
First, you will go to bed every night at 9:00!
Wake up at 4:00!
Disorder of the room is disorder of the mind!
Keep it clean at all times!
Why do I have to do this, too?
I didn't know you thought of me that way.
You were like a teacher.
Thanks.
I actually am a teacher.
You two!
No talking! Move!
-Yes... -Yes...
