The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 123 Potions Class (Bonus Chapter 1 for End-of-Month Ranking Push ~ Requesting Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions, and Follow-Up Reading)
"Molan! One more {Red Oil Hot Pot Base Card}!"

"Me too!"

"I also need one {Tomato Hot Pot Base Card} and one {Clear Broth Hot Pot Base Card}!"

……

On the way to the academy castle the next morning, Moran was surrounded by the little witches who had tasted the wonderful hot pot the night before.

They're all repeat customers.

I didn't buy one yesterday, but last night I smelled the fragrance coming from other people's dorms, so I couldn't resist buying one too.

Moran looked at the little witches' rosy lips and wrote contracts for them while reminding them, "Eating spicy hot pot too often can cause internal heat, so try to control your intake."

"I know, I know!"

The little witches kept agreeing verbally, but the way they put away the hot pot base cards didn't seem to mean they'd listened.

"It's a pity we can't use Golden Bird to deliver packages yet, otherwise I really want to send the hot pot base to my parents so they can try it!" Vasida said.

Looking back on those days at home, it was nothing like a witch's life. Eating was just about filling our stomachs; it had nothing to do with enjoyment.

Ais didn't have hot pot last night; she made braised beef, but it didn't taste very good: "Molan, I cooked the beef with a spice packet, but why does it taste so bland?"

This was the only customer who left a negative review today, and Moran quickly asked her how she did it.

I asked her and found out that she had cut the beef into thin slices, put it into the braising broth and cooked it for a few minutes, then ate it.

The longer the braising liquid is cooked, the more flavorful it becomes; a few minutes is too short.

It seems there's still a lot of trouble with how to do it.
"It's Thursday today. How about this, Saturday night, come to the ingredient collection area, and I'll use the card seasonings to make some Blue Star delicacies for you to try. That way, you'll know how to use these cards. Hmm... let's call it the Blue Star Delicacies Card Tasting Dinner! I'll also be releasing some new food cards then!"

Moran had the idea of ​​promoting Blue Star condiment food cards last night. She decided to take advantage of the weekend to host a dinner party, win everyone over with the taste, and let everyone know how to use the cards.

Food cards are consumables! Whether I can save up enough for an unlimited-use energy card with a capacity of 10,000 Mana before graduation depends on this.

"Yeah!"

……

In the afternoon, the little witches gathered again in Greenhouse No. 1.

This time, Amisha led them off the path from the entrance and into the woods:

“When learning potion making, magical plants are extremely important, and often we need to find and pick them ourselves.”

Understanding magical plants requires more than just reading the text and illustrations in the book.

Although the accompanying pictures are standard, they are still two-dimensional and differ somewhat from the real objects. If you are not familiar with them, you may not be able to recognize them.

I will give you a general tour of the common magical plants in Greenhouse 1.

After class, you will need to conduct more field observations while referring to the textbook.

You are free to pick the magical plants here for your studies or to make potions. The fairies will replant the ones you pick, but please don't waste them!
Greenhouses 2 through 5 also contain some rare magical plants. If you're interested, you can visit them with the help of the fairy caretaker to learn about their growing environment, but picking them is not allowed, understand?

The little witches nodded obediently.

Amisha quickly led them to a large red flower bud: "Does anyone know the name of this flower?"

The little witches looked troubled.

The Potions class started too quickly and too suddenly. Most of the little witches hadn't even finished reading "Common Magical Plants," let alone identified them. Sylph, on the other hand, had finished reading it, and even half of "The Encyclopedia of Magical Plants of Valen Continent," but reading it didn't mean she remembered it, and remembering it didn't mean she could recognize it.

“Big Face Flower!” Moran blurted out, “A low-level magical plant with large red flower buds, smooth stems, and no flowers or leaves. It gets its name from the fact that its flower buds, when they bloom, resemble a face.”

The crimson flower buds are a sign that the big-faced flower is mature; touching them at this time will cause them to immediately bloom and spray out a large amount of pollen.

Pollen has hallucinogenic and sedative effects and can be used to craft sleeping and hallucinogenic potions. Petals can be used to make a crimson dye potion. Harvesting requires… (as described on page 127 of *Common Magical Plants and Basic Potion Crafting*).

She read it last night and this morning, before bed, while walking, and even during theory class, and managed to finish reading the magical plant section of "Common Magical Plants and Basic Potion Making" before class.

Upon seeing the flower, images and information about the magical plants in the book flashed through my mind, and I immediately identified it as the Big Face Flower.

The little witches didn't know about the Big Face Flower, but they knew how to flip through textbooks. One by one, they summoned the Book of Witches and turned to the page Moran had mentioned.

Looking at the large red flower buds in front of me, they really did resemble the illustrations and descriptions in the book.

Moran spoke flawlessly, as if reading from a book.

“That’s right! It’s the Big Face Flower!” Amisha said. “Moran has basically covered all the important information. Let’s move on to the next one…”

"This is Reed Grass! A low-level magical plant, it's mentioned on page 23 of the textbook. Its juice is a very useful neutralizing agent..."

"This is a cat's paw tree, a low-level magical plant, page 98 of the textbook. Its bark has insect-repelling properties..."

"This is a White Night Fruit..."

"This is a 'dianbian flower'..."

"This is Ganlingen..."

Amisha said it was the easiest potions class she had ever taught in her decades of teaching experience.

There's no need to say anything. Just lead the students to the magical plant and ask, "Does anyone know its name?"

Later on, she didn't even need to ask; she could just look at Moran and someone would speak for her.

Amisha walked lightly and was in a good mood. Moran, on the other hand, was so thirsty from talking that she came across a sweet dew root. She dug up a little bit, cleansed it with a cleansing spell, and chewed it in her mouth, which relieved her thirst a little. She then continued talking.

The little witches were busy flipping through books, looking at the illustrations of magical plants.

They were already tired of being amazed and envious of Moran's memory; they were no longer surprised by it at all.

Instead of envying her, you should quickly look at the pictures and see the real magical plants to reduce the gap between yourself and Moran.

"It seems I don't need to attend the next class; Moran can lead you all," Amisha said at the end of class.

Moran: "..."

An irresponsible dean wanted to skip work.

"Dean, I'm not sure if I know them all. You should come along just in case!" Moran decided that if she got tired of talking in the next class, she would pretend not to know and let the dean explain.

She was too hasty in this lesson.

Next class, I definitely won't let the dean rest.

As soon as Ms. Amisa finished her lesson, she left, but the little witches still had to go and taint the broom grass.

By the time the infection was complete, it was already dark.

It's almost the end of the month, time to climb the rankings! I'll try to update more chapters these next few days, so please keep reading, subscribe, and vote with your monthly tickets! If it goes well, I'll try even more chapters next month. Please! ヾ(▽)ノ
