Chapter 105 Planting Magic Class

On the north side of the farmland in the planting area, Moran read the words on the wooden sign:
"The teaching field in the northern part of the farmland, that's right, this must be where the Planting Magic class is held!"

"Is this all there?" Vasita stood on the edge of the field. "It must be as big as the dormitory area, right?"

“It should be,” Sylph said. “Although this field is larger than the others, it is indeed not divided by field ridges; it is a single, continuous field.”

"What kind of crop is planted in this field? It looks a bit like underdeveloped wheat." Ais looked at the field full of green, unidentified herbaceous plants, somewhat puzzled. "The wheat over there has already turned yellow, why is this still green? Did they use plant magic to accelerate its growth over there?"

“This shouldn’t be wheat!” Moran said.

She looks a bit like barnyard grass.

In Valen, there are also some plants similar to those on Blue Star.

“This is hedgehog grass,” Sylph said. “It’s a common weed. Hedgehog grass is said to be the common ancestor of rice and wheat, so they look a little similar.”

This is what she heard from her mother.

"That's right! It's a hedgehog grass."

Ms. Amisa's voice came from the air; she didn't know when she had arrived.

She jumped from her flying broomstick into the teaching field and plucked a green spike of hedgehog grass:
“Long ago, when witches were hiding in the mountains and forests to escape being hunted down, they would collect the seeds of hedgehog grass, grind them into powder, sift out the outer shell, and make grass cakes to fill their stomachs when food was scarce.”

However, hedgehog grass has small spikelets, low yield, and weak satiety, making it unsuitable as a food crop.

Hedgehog grass is extremely resilient and considered a harmful weed in fields, as it crowds out the growing space and nutrients for crops. Therefore, hedgehog grass in farmland must be removed promptly.

Upon hearing this, Moran had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Ms. Amisha said, "Farming begins with cultivating the land. Remember when you learned cooking magic and you infused the kitchen utensils with it?"

The little witches nodded: "We remember!"

“Before cultivating the land, we need to prepare the farm tools. Now, everyone go to the tool shed over there, and each person gets a watering can and a hoe to work on the land,” Amisha said.

The little witches looked in the direction Ms. Amisa was pointing, at the edge of the neighboring farmland.

There was a small, long, narrow earthen house there.

Walk over, open the door, and inside are all sorts of oversized farm tools.

The little witches, including Moran, were used to it.

The witches' cooking utensils are all normal size because they must learn to cook before they can use magic to do it.

But farm tools and cleaning tools are all oversized.

It's huge compared to anything on Earth, and would be extremely uncomfortable for a person of normal build to use.

The reason they are so large is that these tools are not meant for them to use manually, since even carrying them would be difficult. Using magic to control them is the way witches work.

Larger farm implements are more efficient to use.

Moran's cleaning tool card contains mostly extra-large cleaning tools, but there are also some small cleaning tools specifically for cleaning corners and edges.

The watering can in the tool shed has a body that looks like a small water tank, and the spray nozzle is about the size of a washbasin.

Although it is made of aluminum and is very lightweight, it is too big, and even a little witch would have difficulty picking it up.

The handle of the hoe required two hands to hold, and the head of the hoe was so heavy that the little witches could only drag it along; even carrying it was a problem.

"Moran... we have kitchen utensil cards and cleaning tool cards, could you please give us a farm tool card?" The little witches looked at Moran. They didn't want to contaminate the good farm tools, as they would be inconvenient to carry on their future travels, so they gave up on that idea.

I don't want to drag such a heavy thing around to get infected.

This is much heavier than kitchen utensils and cleaning tools.

"Wait for me!" Moran was already thinking about the farm tool card when he learned that he was going to infect the farm tools.

However, unlike the kitchen utensils she was familiar with and the ones Shana's mother had used, as well as the various witch cleaning tools provided in the dormitory, she hadn't seen many of the witches' farming tools.

She walked around the tool shed, familiarizing herself with the types and styles of the witch's farm tools, and then summoned the Book of Cards to begin using them.

Although they have different shapes, they are all ordinary tools and are not difficult to make at all.

Three different versions of the witch's farm tool card were quickly produced.

The price is similar to that of cleaning tool cards.

The little witches are quite adept at buying cards.

Each person chose the purchase plan that best suited their talents and the amount of magic power they possessed.

With a good talent for plant magic, you'll most likely develop your career in planting; choose the flagship or deluxe version.

With only average plant magic talent, I can only grow ordinary flowers and grasses for my own enjoyment, or grow fruits and vegetables for my own consumption. Buying the regular version will be enough.

Moran took out the parchment he always kept in his bag and wrote contracts for each of the little witches according to their choices.

Another amount of magic power was credited to her account, which she stored in the Book of Cards.

The little witches also each received a witch's farm tool card.

Holding these light, flimsy cards is much more comfortable than dragging a heavy hoe and carrying a large water jug ​​back home.

Amisha saw them return empty-handed and didn't say anything.

It wasn't surprising when they took out hoes and watering cans from the cards.

The little witches sat in the hedgehog meadow, wielding hoes and watering cans as they soaked up the thorns.

After half a year of learning, magical contamination, the most frequently used technique, has long become their specialty.

They knew exactly how much magic power to use at a time, what speed to output it at, and how to maximize the efficiency of the contamination.

After one class, the hoe and watering can were covered with a thin layer of magical light.

Moran, Vasita, and Sylph have abundant magical power, so they never have to worry about having too much magic and damaging things, nor about the contamination being too weak, and their efficiency is also much higher.

By the time get out of class ended, the energy halos on the hoes and watering cans were so bright that even their eyes, which couldn't yet directly observe energy traces, could detect some of them.
