Diana and Akko swiftly left Akko's dorm to head towards the headmasters office.
While walking, Diana looks to the girl to her right and slightly south and realizes that she can see directly into her uniform and can see her bra. A small blush creeps onto her face. Akko felt as if someone was staring at her, so she turned her head to the left. Akko quickly took note of where Diana was staring and looked down.
"Oh, whoops." Akko rushed to quickly tie her uniform back. "Thanks for noticing Diana."
"No problem." Diana said with confidence, trying not to lose composure.
"We don't have to mention this happening, you know." Akko stated.
"Agreed." Diana responded. Awkward silence continued to fall afterwards.
Nearing their destination, Akko decided to start up a conversation again to release some of the tension between the two of them.
"So... what exactly do think we're going to be asked to do?" Akko questioned.
"Well, from what Professor Ursula explained to us last evening, I can only assume that we'll be sent to places around the world that are having issues because of the revival of Yggdrasil."
"That's what I think too."
"But... I'm a little bit skeptical about this whole situation."
"How come?"
"It's just, there's a lot of questions I have about this whole situation and many potential holes in this situation, but I'll save my statements until after the explanation." Diana explained.
Akko let out a hmmm and accepted it, "That makes sense."
They reach the large, magically reinforced double doors and Diana knocks on it three times.
A faint "Come in" could be heard in a familiar, polite voice, belonging to Professor Holbrooke. Diana pushed open the left door and entered, with Akko following her. They reach the center of the room and the doors shut automatically. Professor Holbrooke was sitting at her desk and Professor Ursula was standing beside her.
"Girls. You probably have some questions. I wish I could give you more time to process everything but frankly we can't waste any time." the Professor spoke. Akko gulped. "Ever since you girls revived the magic tree of Yggdrasil, magic anomalies have been happening everywhere. It makes sense... the sudden influx of mana across the planet would definitely cause issues, but it's a lot worse than we expected. Magic is causing danger to countless people around the world and we're trying to fix it. We've already asked out any volunteering witches who've graduated from Luna Nova to help. The numbers haven't been too high. Unfortunately our hands are filled with things locally, so that's why we're asking the two of you."
"I see." Diana said. Akko stood silent, she didn't exactly know what to say. Diana placed her hands on her chin and thought for a few seconds. "What exactly would we have to do?"
"Well, you'd be sent to places across the world and have the goal of fixing the issues caused by magic. We'll provide you the resources you'll need to get the job done and as well everything you request as well. Of course we wouldn't ask you to do our work for free... both of your tuition fees will be lifted and we'll offer your families money for the work you do."
"I'm interested." Akko blurted.
Diana processed the information for about ten seconds, then asked another question. "And we'd be doing this together? I'm talking about Akko and I."
"Correct." Professor Ursula finally spoke. "Since it was the two of you who destroyed the missile and ended up reviving the tree, it would seem appropriate to send you guys out."
"I don't mind. I'm in." Diana said confidently. Both Akko and Professor Ursula were shocked with Diana agreeing that quickly.
"Glad to have you on board. That reminds me..." Professor Holbrooke said as she jumped out of her seat and went over to the bookcase. She grazed her finger across the row which matched her height and eventually picked out a book. The book was small: about the size of a journal. The book was thin too, only about 100 pages. It had a green cover, a lock and... oddly enough, a suitcase handle on the spine of the book. She brought the book over to Diana and placed it directly into her hands, then reached into her hat and pulled out a key and also gave it to Diana. "Give this a read when you get a chance."
"O-Okay." Diana stuttered as she grasped the book and key tightly.
"Well then..." Professor Holbrooke said louder. "Pack up everything you need, we'll arrange your transport so be ready by 6pm."
"By six?!" Akko shouted.
"I honestly wish we could give you girls more time to absorb this information, but the longer we wait, the more danger people might be in."
"Alright.!" Both Diana and Akko said at the same time, but Diana said it while Akko shouted passionately.
The two girls made their way towards the door. Right as they stepped out, Professor Holbrooke said one last thing.
"I almost forgot, you girls are going to Paris for your first mission."
"Paris?!" Akko yelled in excitement.
