Ep. 1: Starting Over
Having been inspired by a magical performance from the witch Shiny Chariot, Atsuko "Akko" Kagari decides to enroll at Luna Nova Magical Academy. Arriving in the town of Blytonbury, Akko finds the ley line which leads to Luna Nova, but she is teased by some arriving students, who mock her non-magical bloodline. Unable to fly on a broom through the ley line alone, Akko manages to get a lift from Lotte Jansson. However, since Akko was carrying salty pickled plums, she and Lotte, along with Sucy Manbavaran, end up falling out of the ley line into the forbidden Arcturus Forest. Sucy tries to lure out a giant cockatrice in order to collect one of its feathers, leading Akko to come across Shiny Chariot's staff, the Shiny Rod, summoned by her unshakeable faith in becoming a witch. As the cockatrice pursues the girls, magic astrology teacher Ursula Callistis has Akko repeat the first word[A] of Arcturus and activate the Shiny Rod, allowing the girls to escape through a portal leading straight to Luna Nova. Making it just in time for the opening ceremony and avoiding expulsion, Akko, Lotte and Sucy learn that they will be roommates for the next three years.
