Little Witch Academiaฉบับทางเลือก
Akko Kagari is an ordinary girl who joins the renowned witch academy for witch girls, Luna Nova Academy. When she was younger, she went to Magical Festa, a magic show hosted by a witch named Shiny Chariot. Akko was so mesmerized and inspired by Shiny Chariot's performance that she dreamed to someday be a "cool" witch like her. This young and impressionable Akko takes Shiny Chariot's words as her own motto: "Never forget, a believing heart is your magic.“ (Source: ANN)
Atsuko "Akko" Kagari enrolls in the prestigious academy Luna Nova following her dream and passion of becoming a witch like Shiny Chariot. She searches all over the small town of Brighton Berry for a bus to Luna Nova Academy, but when she finally finds it it turns out to be a "Broom Highway" that only witches can use. Akko, who's never practiced magic before, let alone rode a broom, is at a complete loss. What's more, if she doesn't make it in time for the opening ceremony, she'll be expelled!
Akko is excited for the first day of magic lessons, an excitement that her roommates Sucy and Lotte have difficulty sharing. However, the classes prove to be a more mundane affair than expected, which leads Akko to talk loudly about Shiny Chariot's amazing magic to her friends over lunch and catch the attention of Diana Cavendish. Meanwhile, Professor Ursula is tasked with investigating why the Jennifer Memorial Tree appears to be dying. Her research eventually brings her to pinpoint the cause, but not before Diana casts a restoration spell on the tree that spirals out of control. Akko, Sucy and Lotte, who were playing with Shiny Chariot's collectible cards nearby, quickly rush over...
The Luna Nova students begin taking broom flying lessons. Despite being unable to even get off the ground, Akko becomes eager to enter the school's traditional broom relay event after learning Chariot was one of the winners. Later, Akko goes with Lotte to a magic item café where they come across a legendary broom known as the Ryuuseimaru (Shooting Star) that has been sealed off for being too temperamental. Interested in the relay's prize offerings, Lotte and Sucy decide to help train Akko to try and ride her broom, and on the day of the relay Sucy uses her concoctions to give her team an early start and Akko an alternate means of using her broom. Meanwhile, Amanda O'Neill steals the Ryuuseimaru to use for herself, only for it to break loose and run wild, soon running into Akko. Despite being dragged around the world and shaken off, Akko manages to take ahold of the Ryuuseimaru and go neck and neck against Diana, only to fall off again when it breaks its seal and flies away, leading her to place second in the relay.
The plot of Night Fall itself started off from moment where Belle, a science teacher whom met a handsome vampire named Edgar after a time-travel mishap due to entering a mysterious portal that sent her to Middle Ages. Early premise of the story in some ways, reminiscent with Twilight Saga, but it immediately changed into time-travelling adventures, reminiscent to the Outlander series, where the said adventures would affect the world history.
An argument between Akko and Amanda in the midst of potions class triggers the explosion of one of the class' concoctions, causing them both to get detention. While cleaning the academy's tower as part of their punishment, the two girls witness a horde of dragons carrying off the Sorcerer's Stone. Strangely, the academy staff does not react to this theft, instead accidentally revealing that this is part of an anticipated prophecy involving a dragon. Lotte recalls the legend of a white dragon who resides in the nearby Ruins of Rastaban, which inspires Akko and Amanda to retrieve it themselves. Accompanied by their friends, they proceed to the ruins, where they discover that the culprit is a loan shark dragon named Fafnir, who has repossessed the Sorcerer's Stone from Luna Nova for their failure to pay off their debt. Luckily, Diana is able to decipher that Fafnir's promissory note (written in dragon language) does not actually mention paying back interest, meaning Fafnir had tricked the school into paying back more than they actually owed. Caught in his deception, Fafnir is forced into nullifying the contract and returning the Sorcerer's Stone to Luna Nova.
Luna Nova hosts a welcoming party for the Earl of Hanbridge and his son, Andrew, who appears to be an old acquaintance of Diana's. Meanwhile, as Akko is stuck having to practise her metamorphosis magic after giving herself animal ears, she decides to go and search for the Fountain of Polaris, which she believes can grant her great power. During her search, she comes across Andrew, who expresses a strong disinterest in magic, and inadvertently gives him animal ears and a tail. Arriving at the location of the fountain, Akko and Andrew soon find themselves on the run from its guardian, a giant polar bear named Arcas. After another witch stops Arcas, Akko finds the fountain, which shows her past visions of how Shiny Chariot grew from a clumsy student into a magician worthy of wielding its power. Helping Akko to realise that acknowledgement is something that must be earned, Ursula encourages Akko to become stronger and restores Andrew, who promises to keep their encounter a secret.
Akko studies hard for her exams, but still struggles to get decent grades despite Ursula's tutorage. After getting into a fight with Hannah and Barbara, Akko is threatened with expulsion from Luna Nova should she fail her final exam, which requires an understanding of fish language. While attempting to bribe the fish philosophy teacher, Pisces, Akko accidentally drops her down a drain into the school's sewage system. Transforming into a merman to search for him, Akko comes across a sad fish and chooses to use her emergency magic reserve to free her family from a poacher's trap, coming across Pisces in the process. When Akko is once again faced with expulsion for her actions, Pisces gives her an A in his exam for helping the fish family while Ursula vouches that, despite the gap between her and her classmates, Akko's magic has improved considerably since her enrollment. After the fish Akko rescued are revealed to be an endangered species, her expulsion is cancelled and she is given a less severe punishment instead.
After drinking her own ominous energy drink formula, Sucy winds up in a deep sleep with mushrooms growing around her body. Unable to ask for a teacher's help out of fear of expulsion, Akko has Lotte send her into Sucy's dreams so she can find out how to cure her. Enlisting the help of small angel and devil versions of Sucy, Akko encounters several different personality aspects of Sucy in her search for the original, only to get caught up in a judicial purge of Sucy's unneeded emotions. After stopping the execution, Akko rescues a smaller kind-looking Sucy and soon comes across a drive-in cinema showcasing Sucy's memories. Just then, the Sucys that Akko rescued merge together into a bloodythirsty monster that threatens to overtake Sucy's original personality. After rushing to find the original and attempting to wake her up by feeding her antidotes via mouth-to-mouth, Akko wakes up from what was apparently her own dream.
While trying to fix some tombstones that she knocked over while at a graveyard, Akko accidentally mixes a reversal spell she was using with one of Sucy's mushrooms, which ends up bringing a deceased pirate back from the dead. The girls find themselves chasing the pirate across town as he tries to find something pertaining to his lost memories. After visiting the magical café, they discover that the pirate is looking for a girl named Miranda Holbrooke, who he eventually remembers is his own daughter. Realising that the Miranda in question is actually Luna Nova's principal, the girls rush back to Luna Nova to reunite Miranda with her father before he has to return to the afterlife.
Hearing about a party at Andrew's mansion that Diana is attending, Akko, Lotte and Sucy don magical Cinderella dresses and sneak into the party. Just as Andrew notices them and prepares to send them out, Sucy, ever in the mood for a little mischief, sets loose a LoveLove Bee that causes whoever it stings to fall in love with the first person they see. The bee stings Andrew and Diana, causing them both to fall in love with Akko and pursue her. While searching for the bee in order to stop the spell, Akko overhears a conversation between Andrew and his father, who wants him to quit the piano and chase all witches out of the country. After receiving encouragement from Akko to keep chasing his dreams, Andrew uses his piano playing to distract the other guests so that Akko can finally swat the bee, undoing its magic.
