LWA 21

Even Andrew feels like they keep meeting too often
And...sports again. I am really struggling to give a damn about this subplot, except...
Ah, now I see. People are pissed off about sports. Croix is trying to channel emotions. I see where you're going with this, show.
Emotion Refresh? Oh, Croix, what are you up to now?
I'm guessing the sixth word is where Ursula stopped. Or something happened with Croix.
Kinda hoped the two knuckleheads would be a bit more grateful, but at least they recognize that Akko succeeded where they failed.
Diana is actually getting a little better at chastising Akko.
Croix you little shit, don't you dare trick Akko into losing her magic.
Seriously, Ursula, how are you this bad at Dumbledoring? Dumbledore may have been a manipulative old fart who couldn't eat breakfast without weaving a web of lies, but at least he was competent! Are there no watching spells that you could have used or something?
And now Croix is weaving lies about Ursula because she neither told Akko the truth or kept Akko on a short enough leash. See, this is why you either be honest with your proteges or weave such an elaborate scheme that they do what you want regardless.
Oh god, is this whole rivalry because Croix didn't get picked by the Shiny Rod? Goddammit, I was mostly kidding when I said that Croix is just a nerd's DA-tier villain persona, but this is literally the pettiest possible motivation you could possibly have. She really is a middle-schooler in the body of a rejected Final Fantasy character.
And now she's literally just screwing over Akko and Ursula because of something Ursula couldn't even help. What a dick.
