Chapter 2 is the second chapter of the Little Witch Academia manga series adaptation illustrated by Satou Keisuke.

Overview

While trying to escape the Arcturus Forest, Akko and Lotte end up in a tough situation after Sucy lures out a giant cockatrice in order to collect one of its feathers. Akko comes across Shiny Chariot's wand, the Shiny Rod, summoned by her unshakable faith in becoming a witch. As the cockatrice continues to pursue the girls, one of Luna Nova's teachers, Ursula, gives Akko the magic words needed to use 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.

Summary

At Luna Nova, the disturbance in the Ley Lines alarmed the unassuming teacher of Luna Nova, Ursula Callistis, and her familiar Alcor, at their office. Using a disco ball-like astrological device to check on where said disturbance takes place, the bespectacled professor is shocked to see it occurred somewhere at Arcturus Forest.

Back at Arcturus Forest, Lotte explained that Arcturus Forest is a forest in which one cannot easily get out of regardless whether she happened to be a witch, dismaying Akko as they won't be able to make it to the entrance ceremony at that rate and Sucy's remark of their improbability to get out doesn't improve everyone's mood either. Just then, Akko found her scattered belongings and wasted no time to retrieve them only to stumble upon a nearby Mandrake, much to her and Lotte's horror. Escaping from the man-eating plant, Sucy animates Akko's Alcor plushie once again to distract it, further dismaying Akko as it is one of her Chariot merchandises.

The perceived loss of her plushie proved to be the least of her concern, as Sucy unexpectedly puts other girls into a tough situation where she locked them into a round cage made of enchanted ropes and have them summoned a Cockatrice for her so she can collect one of its feathers. Horrified by this, Akko wasted no time to roll the cage over to evade the arrived beast all while evading its petrifying breath along the way. Just as Sucy managed to retrieve one of its feathers and got chased by the monster instead as the result, Akko and Lotte lost control over their round cage and crashed, injuring Lotte's knee in process. Seeing the Finnish's despair over their situation reminded Akko to her past injuries and urged her friend not to give up like she (Akko) did. Carrying Lotte over her shoulder, Akko voiced her determination to reach Luna Nova and become a witch like Shiny Chariot, unknowingly summoned the long-lost Shiny Rod before her, surprising the Japanese.

Knowing that Sucy is the only one who still has her broom and wanting to help her despite of the Manbavaran complicated their predicament, Akko taunts the cockatrice in a bid to lure it to the mandrake they just encountered earlier. The plan works and to her relief, the animated Alcor rests above her head followed Sucy who gives Akko a ride alongside Lotte. Even so, as the girls already on the air and Sucy introduces herself to Akko, the winged beast soon breaks free from the mandrake's vines and begins to bombard them with its fiery breath. That was the moment Ursula arrived with her broom and soon notices the Shiny Rod on the Japanese's hands in the ensuing struggle just as the beast blasted Sucy's broom into bits, sending the girls plummeting into the forest below. With no time to lose, Ursula cried out to Akko to recite the First Word of Arcturus as soon as the Japanese managed to reclaim the staff which momentarily knocked off of her grasp, thus allowing her to turn the Rod into its Shiny Bow configuration to create a Ley Line portal with Shiny Arc below her, Sucy, and Lotte that led straight to Luna Nova. The portal closes as soon as they entered, preventing the cockatrice from chasing the girls further.

Meanwhile, at Luna Nova's auditorium, Miranda Holbrooke, the current headmistress of Luna Nova, is about to begin the entrance ceremony just as a Ley Line portal opens in front of everyone present in a burst of green magic. The portal closes as soon as it opens, but not before ejecting Akko, Lotte, and Sucy who have passed through through alongside their belongings. Ignoring everyone (except the relieved Ursula)'s horrified expression, Akko wasted no time to celebrate their success over their timed arrival at the academy.

Despite their unprecedented entrance during the ceremony, Principal Holbrooke nevertheless allowed Akko and other two girls to enroll, and had Finnelan brought Akko to her dorm where her roommates are none other than Sucy and Lotte themselves. Once Finnelan left them alone, Akko greets her roommate by introducing herself, this time more properly.
