The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 101 The Local Exam
On Monday at noon, in the first-grade theory classroom, as soon as the clock struck twelve and Ms. Amisa left, the little witches rushed out of the classroom.

"Let's go! Let's hurry to the second grade next door!"

Moran trailed behind the little witches, wanting to watch the excitement but also afraid of being ganged up on by the older girls.

The second-grade witches had just been baptized with workbooks and given a bad omen about exams when they found the classroom door blocked by the first-grade witches, who even rushed into the classroom.

Vasita charged ahead, getting right up close and unleashing her ultimate attack: "Senior! Did you enjoy class today?"

What else could the second-grade little witch not understand now?
"You already knew this?"

“That’s right! We’ve been using it for two months, and we’ve taken the test twice!” Vasita said. “Come on, sisters! Show off your medals of honor!”

Vasita, Sylph, Cheryl, Ais, and the other little witches all took out the magic coins they had obtained.

"Hey? Where's Moran? She has the most!"

Moran, who was secretly following at the back and tiptoeing to watch the senior students' "happy" expressions: "(-_-;)?"

"Moran, what are you doing in the back? Go to the front!" The little witches pushed her to the very front.

"Didn't I tell you to bring all the magic coins you got as a reward for the exam today? Did you bring them?" Vasita tugged at her sleeve.

Moran nodded with difficulty. She didn't know that Vasida wanted her to bring the gold coins for this reason!
Under their expectant gazes, Moran found herself in a difficult position. She took out six gold coins from her bag and held them in her hands, just like the others.

"Senior, do your workbook well and get good grades on the monthly exam. Maybe you can save up a purple gold coin by graduation!"

The second-grade witch's eyes lit up when she saw the magical coins: "Are these all rewards for the monthly exam?"

"OK!"

"You've passed the exam. Was it difficult?"

"It's not difficult! None of us got the workbook reward!"

The second-grade witches breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

No one in the first grade scored below 70, so they couldn't possibly be that bad!
The punishment posed no threat; the allure of the magic coins only grew stronger.

"Let's put the exam aside for now, Moran, why is your name in this workbook?" Lilith held the workbook, flipping to the title page: "Editor: Supreme Witch Amisha, Knowledge Advisor: Witch Moran. And here..."

She turned to the last page: "'A tribute to the inventor of the Valen Workbook, the propagator of the Blue Star Workbook and exam culture—the witch Moran'... This must be you, right?"

Moran leaned closer to take a look, surprised.

Wow, it really exists!
She quickly grabbed the basic magic theory workbook that Vasita had been carrying under her arm and looked at it; it had the same thing!
They even wrote down her title of witch.

There are only seven witches in total, and there isn't a second one named Moran. She really can't deny it.

She didn't need to do the workbooks; she hadn't even looked at them carefully. The workbooks she had reviewed before didn't include these.

To my surprise, the dean even added her name to the workbook.

Dean, you're going to kill me! Even inspirational quotes might work on upperclassmen, right?

Having come this far, Moran could only nod in affirmation: "It was me! I felt that the reading exercises and testing methods I used in my previous life were more effective in improving reading comprehension and increasing knowledge mastery, so I recommended this training model to the dean. Have you done the 'Workbook'? After finishing it, do you feel that your knowledge is more solid?"

“Yes!” Lilith said through gritted teeth.

Although I have a firmer grasp of it, it is also more difficult to complete!

What's even more terrifying is that the dean made them finish the workbooks they had already studied, because the exam was at the beginning of next month!

It's less than three weeks, but that's months of classes!
Moran seemed oblivious to the odd tone in her senior's voice, and went on to explain the importance of mastering theoretical knowledge, which she had previously discussed with the first-year witch, giving each of the seniors a big dose of motivational "chicken soup for the soul."

However… the upperclassmen were a year older and not as easily persuaded as the freshmen. Seeing that they were still staring at her with longing eyes, Moran had no choice but to use her trump card:

"Don't you seniors want to learn more, get good grades, and earn magic coins? After graduation, it won't be so easy to make money."

"These are just workbooks and exams; the first-year students have all passed the test. Many have received magic coins as a reward, and even those who haven't are close. The older students don't need to worry at all; everything will be fine!"

"Who said we're worried!" Senior Lilith was the first to disagree: "We've studied for a year longer than you, and our reading ability is no longer a big problem! It's just workbooks and exams! Humph!"

“That’s right!” The other second-year witches chimed in.

First graders have only been in school for a short time, yet they can earn magic coins through exams. There's absolutely no reason why they can't!

So what if they have a lot of homework? Do you think they can be outdone by first graders? Absolutely not!

Even so, they still couldn't stand the way the younger female students were watching them make a scene:

"Come on, come on! Don't you have classes this afternoon? Why don't you hurry down the mountain to have lunch and prepare for your afternoon classes? What's the point of blocking this place? It's okay if we're a little late, we can ride our flying brooms and be back in a few minutes, but you're going to be walking for hours, aren't you?"

The first-grade little witches: ⊙﹏⊙

They become anything but happy when the topic of flying brooms comes up!

"When will we finally learn how to cultivate broom grass?!"

Flight lessons only start in the second year, so I'll leave that aside for now, but surely I should start planting broom grass by now? We've been taking classes for months.

"Once you finish your cooking magic class, and then take the plant magic class, you'll learn how to grow vegetables, and then it should be about time to start!" Lilith said.

"Huh? We're starting to learn cooking magic to bake rye bread!"

The first-year witch couldn't even imagine when her cooking magic class would end.

"What? You've already soaked the kitchen utensils and started baking rye bread? All of them?" Renee exclaimed in surprise.

"Moran has already learned all the dishes taught in the book and can cook them with cooking magic. He's practicing his own recipes now. Ais is also practicing the final roasted ribs. Vasita and Sylph are almost ready to bake white bread. Only the rest of us, who have poor cooking talent and poor cooking magic talent, are just starting to learn how to bake black bread..."

Alba recounted everyone's progress in the cooking magic class: "Senior Renee, at this rate, how much longer will it take before we finish the cooking magic class?"
