The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 1070 Moran's Daily Life as Dean 3
The young witches received their respective talent reports one by one and solemnly signed their names on the enrollment contract.

This year, a total of 720 new students enrolled, and they were divided into 24 classes with 30 students per class.

Each class, led by its corresponding dean of academic affairs, took their seats in an orderly fashion at the long table in the first-year area.

In the blink of an eye, only the four deans remained on the platform.

Moran took a step forward, his gaze slowly sweeping across the audience. The soft conversations and curious whispers that had been emanating from below quietly subsided.

"Students, starting this academic year, the teaching arrangements and academic year plans for all grades will undergo a series of important adjustments and innovations."

She gently raised her hand, her sleeves fluttering slightly, and in an instant, a card appeared on the table in front of all the little witches:
"This is a {student card} exclusively issued to each student by the academy. It is a limited card that is only valid within the academy's demiplane and has already been bound to your student status."

From now on, you will rely on it for almost all your studies, life, and communication at the college.

Through your student card, you can access the Freshman Guide, the panoramic map of the college, and view detailed academic year plans and personal course schedules at any time. You can also remotely browse and copy from the library's magical collection of books, or watch teaching videos recorded by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

In addition, it has a built-in internal communication network for the college, supporting real-time communication between students on campus.

Now, please follow the built-in tutorial in the card to familiarize yourself with its basic functions!

A commotion erupted from the audience. The little witches picked up the cards in front of them, some carefully touching the castle patterns on the cards, while others, following the instructions, gently pressed their fingertips to the center of the cards.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the card, and then a semi-transparent light screen was projected, floating above the card.

Welcome to {Student Card}. Please follow the instructions to complete the initial setup.

With another tap, a clean and concise menu appears:

[New Student Guide], [College Map], [Academic Year Plan], [Course Schedule], [Library], [Contact Directory], [Examination System], [Study Space], [System Settings]...

The little witches were each doing their own research.

Most first-year students were simply exploring the icons with curiosity, reading the contents of the "Freshman Guide," "Academic Year Plan," and "Course Schedule," since they didn't know how the upperclassmen had studied and lived in the college before.

Meanwhile, the older young witches were in an uproar.

Almost every year, the little witches noticed that the school year plan had become significantly more extensive, and some items they had never seen before appeared in their timetables.

What surprised them even more was that the location of many magic practice classes was no longer marked as a specific place in the castle or core area, but was uniformly written as: "Learning Space (Click to enter five minutes before class)".

Even the fourth and fifth-grade witches, who had already moved out of the academy dormitories and started to participate in training in the inner and outer areas of the academy, discovered a new course called "Survival Game" in their respective school year plans.

The class time is not fixed, only noted that "the game type, rules and rewards will be notified one hour before the class starts", and the class location is also pointed to "learning space" and it is noted that "automatic teleportation will be performed when the time comes".

The same word "reward" also appeared in the interface of the [Examination System].

In addition to unit tests corresponding to compulsory courses, as well as monthly and annual exams with fixed times, the system has added "Self-Challenge Tests" designed for selected reading materials and library collections of magical books.

The assessments for theoretical books are completed within the system by answering questions, while the assessments for practical books require entering the "Learning Space" for a hands-on evaluation exam. Each challenge has different rewards for completion, depending on the importance and difficulty of the book, mostly in varying amounts of {Gem Coins}.

This is most useful for the penniless little witch who has to start her own life after leaving the academy.

Just as the little witches were bewildered by these changes and discussing them amongst themselves, all the student cards' screens flickered simultaneously, and a pinned notification popped up:

[Attention all little witches: An online academic year information session will be held at 10:00 AM the day after tomorrow in the respective grade-level groups via live stream. If you have any questions about the academic year arrangements, please send them to your academic dean. The dean will then compile and provide a unified response during the grade-level information session. PS: The academic dean's contact information can be found in the "Contacts" section.]

Today is Friday, and classes won't start until next Monday, so the little witches have two more days of rest.

As soon as the announcement was made, the murmurs in the hall gradually subsided. With a clear channel and time for answering questions, the little witches' anxieties eased a little.

They then started working on their student cards, searching for their class's dean in the address book or quietly discussing with their friends what questions to ask.

Just then, Moran's voice resounded throughout the auditorium once again:

"Alright, everyone has seen the notice, right? If you have any questions, the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office will answer them one by one during the live broadcast the day after tomorrow."

She smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over the faces below the stage, faces still bearing traces of youth but filled with earnestness.

“Now—” Moran’s tone became lighter, and she snapped her fingers crisply: “It’s getting late. After a busy night, it’s time to enjoy some good food.”

The moment the fingers snapped, magical light rippled out like water, covering every long table.

One after another, steaming hot and fragrant dishes appeared out of nowhere.

"I hereby declare the commencement banquet to begin!"

The aroma was irresistible, a feast for both the eyes and the nose, drawing all the little witches' attention to the delicious food before them.

The older witches, naturally aware of how rare such a meal was, put aside their doubts about the new lessons and began to feast.

"Wow--!"

Someone among the new students let out a small gasp of surprise.

Except for the little witches at a few tables closer to the senior students' table, none of the other little witches noticed the senior girls' unusually enthusiastic eating speed.

After the entrance banquet, the second-year witches spontaneously led the first-year students out of the auditorium and down the mountain path to the dormitory area. The fourth-year witches set up tents outside the castle and held an "astrological ceremony," while the third and fifth-year witches rode by on flying broomsticks in their most dashing poses.

On the clock tower of the academy castle, Moran, Vasita, Sylph, and Lilith watched all of this.

"So many years have passed, but the tradition of the first night of freshman enrollment remains unchanged!"
