Andi (Emma's best friend) is finally becoming a Guardian, as she is now training and studying at the WITS Academy, the Magic Realm's most esteemed school for witches and wizards-in-training, or WITs. But, as the best friend and unofficial Guardian to the Chosen One, she will have to work hard to prove that she can live up to expectations as the first and only human Guardian. Andi also is training as a guardian to the two of the Academy's toughest WITs to graduation day, with Jessie (Jax's little sister) being one of them, and Ben, a young wizard-in-training, being another. Andi also meets other Guardians-in-training, like Luke, Lily's cousin, who becomes her love interest, Ruby, who becomes her rival, and Kim, who becomes her best friend. Luke and Andi become a couple, while Ruby gets expelled from the Academy.
Andi arrives at the WITS Academy, where she meets a few people, like her roommate Samantha and Samantha's best friend Ruby. Andi then discovers she is the Guardian to Jessie and another young wizard named Ben.
Guest stars: Bianca Matthews as Samantha
After the Spell Performance Test, Samantha gets expelled, but Kim, another Guardian, becomes Andi's new roommate. During the second test, Ben is having a hard time. Jessie will not practice with Andi and runs off, avoiding Andi by making herself super-fast and giving everyone her look.
Andi has ironically run into Emma, who says she is in danger and needs Andi's help; Emma shows Andi magic sparkles on her arm. While the two figure out what this means, Emma disguises as Felicia, a girl from Orlando, so no one will know that the Chosen One is at the Academy, but Jessie recognizes her, and so does Luke. Meanwhile, Ruby plans to cast an exile spell on Andi, asking for Emily's help, while the WITs attend Cam Camp, a camp run by Cameron. Later, after curfew, Agamemnon, Leo, Emma, Andi, Luke, Jessie and Ben use their energy to restore the Dyad Tree, which also makes the sparkles on Emma's arm disappear. Emma leaves afterwards because she must check on her human friends. Ruby and Emily then cast the exile spell, but hit both Leo and Andi, sending them on a drifting raft.
