The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch (黒猫と魔女の教室)

You're a bit late, Ewe.

The ruby is mine.

Stealing another student's gems isn't against the rules.

That glitzy jewel will be mine!

Come.

I'll take both of you on together.

Aria's in first so far with 40 points.

That battle with Pollux was amazing.

They're both talented enough to make the top of their grade.

Especially her magic.

That was already in Grand Magic territory.

She sure is talented.

But that must have cost her a lot of magic power.

There's still no telling how this is going to pan out, even for Aria.

Now, let's see how the others are doing.

It took me five hours...

But it's finally done!

My house on a deserted island: Iopalace!

What are you doing making a fort?!

I hope everyone comes to hang out, voodie!

This is my living room, this is my bedroom, and...

Io just has no competitive spirit.

Although she did find a crystal while she was looking for materials...

Next.

Scorpion Magic!

That's my sixth gem.

Wow, Hana! You rock, voodie!

I'm falling in love, voodie.

I wish I could be cool and collected like you, voodie.

Thanks.

Voodie, help!

Eugh, that's so sad.

Come on!

Don't use Voodie for that!

Next!

Very nice! You're adorable!

Everyone on the beach has their eyes on you.

Aww!

I love that pose.

It's accentuating your curves. So cute!

Oh, you're good.

I love you.

I'll find the perfect gem for you, honey.

I want a diamond.

Holy hell! Is everyone in Claude Coven messed up?!

Right, what about Spica?

How many gems has she gotten?

She's at risk of failing the grade.

She'd better be desperate about now.

I can't make it up this steep path alone

But with my friend, I can turn it into a flat road

She's singing...

We did it!

We got the aloe!

Aloe?!

She doesn't have a single gem!

Is she going to make it?

I'm going to have to light a fire under her ass.

Where are all the gems?

The other students already got all the easy gems, probably.

Is that it?

What the?!

Claude here.

I'm contacting everyone through your Voodies.

SPICA VIRGO - 0P CHIRON S. ARADIA - 0P MERROW PISCES - 0P

Everyone, have a look.

Capella in third place with 25 points,

and Aria in first place with 40 points.

SPICA VIRGO - 0P

Crap! I'm tied for last!

The exam ends tomorrow at 7 AM.

You have 14 hours left.

Get it together!

I feel the pressure directed at me.

It'll be even harder to find gems at night when the forest is pitch-black.

I have to find some gems now.

Looks like it's getting pretty dire.

What now?

I'm just gonna have to take someone else's gems!

It's a dog-eat-dog world, anyway!

That's what thieves say.

Where is everyone?!

You shone!

That means there's a gem nearby, right?

Yup.

L-Look, Voodie! Look at that huge bird!

That's an armored vulture.

A mystical bird that likes shiny things and dead flesh.

Something's shining.

Is it holding a gem in its mouth?

Good eye. That's a ruby.

A ruby...

Aren't those worth 50 points?!

That'll take me right to first place!

Aries Magic!

Not a chance.

Capricorn Magic!

Jeez! You're getting in my way again!

You suck, voodie!

I'm not letting you have the ruby.

If you're going to erase magic...

I'll just use physical force!

Capricorn!

Piece of cake!

That's my lady!

You're a magician! Don't fight magic with brute force!

She's your arch-nemesis.

Oh?

I didn't see you there, Spica.

Y-You aren't all after the ruby, are you?

Of course.

It got away again.

Why isn't it fleeing?

It's mocking us.

Let's see who gets the ruby from that bird first.

I hate having to work for it, but I don't want to lose, so I will.

We're racing to take the ruby.

I-I have to fight them for the gem?

This is just extreme hard mode.

It's headed upstream.

Let's not take it personally, whoever gets the ruby!

But why does that bird have the ruby?

It swiped it while the three of us were fighting over it.

It came at us out of nowhere.

Are you okay, Capella?

Yeah. I'm not seriously hurt.

What is that bird?

Capella, where's the ruby you were holding?

That bird!

It's holding the gem!

That bastard! It got me!

Okay, then, the first one to take the ruby from that bird gets to keep it?

I'm down.

I hate running...

So you chased it all the way here?

Yeah.

You should be careful, Spica.

There's no telling what that bird might do.

Falling rocks?!

Are those...

Those are armored vulture young!

They're dropping rocks on us!

They're trying to block our way forward.

Aries Magic: Volcano Eruption!

There it is!

Ewe's extreme flame propulsion!

But the rocks...

Heat Wave!

Look, the young are fleeing!

That was spectacular! I'm jealous!

Aries Magic is so powerful.

That was unusual, though.

I've never seen Ewe so focused.

I'm sure she's been figuring things out for herself

ever since that day.

What day?

Everyone's got their own reason for having to win.

Reasons for having to win...

And everyone's trying their hardest to win.

But...

I have a reason for having to win, too.

I'm going to get the ruby!

Now it's getting interesting.

ARMORED VULTURE

That mystical bird has a gem in its mouth.
