An excerpt from "The Lecture Continues" of the story, Jasminka's Happy Meals:

With a twirl of her wand, Akko cast a spell & transformed into an elephant. As far as pachyderms went, the imitation wasn’t great: Akko was more an orange ball with stubby legs & oversized ears than an elephant. This expanded her size, however, forcing the magical hand wide, loosening its grip. Then, right afterwards, Akko turned into a mouse and slipped between the fingers.

Bouncing off Jasminka's belly like a trampoline, Mouse Akko hit the ground running and dashed through the door, leaving Jasminka to eat her dust.

“Sorry, Jas! But you’ve gone coco-loco with power! Before you eat anyone else, Imma gonna stop you… somehow!”

As Akko dashed down the third floor hallway with mousy speed, her mind raced frantically. What could stop Jasminka's binge? If the Russian Witch could nom professors like candy, her magic was clearly too strong to stop by normal means. Heck, even if Jasminka wasn't super-charged enough to split oceans, Akko wasn't sure she'd win a witch's duel; that girl had a lifetime's worth of magical experience, while Akko barely had a year of schooling under her belt!

"Maybe the Shiny Rod would work?" thought Akko. Sure, it wasn't the most reliable wand, but it was Shiny Chariot's wand and Chariot could do anything! Akko knew three of the Seven Words of Arcturus, so that had to count for something. "I just gotta reach the Red Dorm, then everything will be fine. Not like that tub of lard can move anyways, not with that huge belly holding her-"

With an ungodly cacophony of splintering wood and stone, Jasminka smashed through the doorway to the Magical Astrology classroom. Her body, gut and all, was enveloped by emerald magic, which lifted her a solid foot off the ground. Like a lipid-layered zeppelin prepared for war, Jasminka floated after Akko with hungry intent.

"Oh, come on! Give me a break!" squeaked Mouse Akko. "Who taught her levitation magic!?"

“A-kko! A-kko! I'm famished for mouse burgers!” said Jasminka, slobbering at the mouth. While Jasminka didn’t float especially fast, she moved with the inexorable speed of a bulldozer. She would follow her meal, even if if meant tearing through mountains in her way.
