The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 239 Senior's Temper

During Wednesday's alchemy class, Moran tried making a magic seal.

The magic seal is like a business card for Earthlings; it is used in conjunction with the Golden Bird Technique and Golden Bird Letter Paper.

Each time a magical seal is imbued with magical power, it will record an aura that the golden bird can sense.

By using such a stamp to leave a mark on the Golden Bird's letter paper, the Golden Bird can find the person who left their scent based on the mark.

The witches spent most of their time traveling around, without a fixed abode.

Therefore, witches who are particularly close will exchange their magic seals so that they can communicate using the Golden Bird spell.

Moran knew that Shana's mother was in Moon Harbor, which is why the previous letter could be sent out directly like that.

Otherwise, the Golden Bird might not have been able to deliver the letter to Shana's mother.

The magic seal taught in the book is just an ordinary little block of wood with a combination of magic seal runes engraved on it.

Moran had read many books on alchemy, so he knew that such a seal was simply not presentable among witches.

Even the poorest witch would carefully design her seal.

Witches with some skill might even select various precious materials to create seals.

Moran didn't have the precious materials.

However, Moran can still manage to design the seal style with a little effort.

Moran thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.

Soon, she used wood sculpting techniques to shape the wood on the table into thirty small seals.

The stamp has the same pattern on the side as the back of the card, and there is an embossed open book on the top.

She inscribed runes one by one, filled them with runic power, and finally imbued them with magic for a moment, completing thirty magical seals that belonged to her.

Moran made quite a lot, and it took her an entire alchemy class to complete.

Seeing that Ms. Amisha was about to leave after class, Moran chased after her, carrying a bag of small stamps: "Dean! Wait!"

Amisha stopped and looked back at her, then a small stamp was stuffed into her hand.

"Dean, please keep this safe. It will make it easier to keep in touch after graduation," Moran said.

Amisha raised an eyebrow slightly. Anyone who didn't know better would think this child was in fifth grade! And now she's already handing out stamps.

She accepted it anyway, and casually tossed one to Moran: "Here, this is for you."

Moran took it and saw that it was a simple wooden seal, just like the one in the textbook, but the dean's name was engraved on it.

The dean certainly can't be poor, so this basic version of the seal actually has an audience!
However, with so many clones in the Dean's body, how would the Golden Bird possibly find her if she were to send her a letter?

I was just about to gossip a bit when I realized the dean had already disappeared.

Moran shook her head and chuckled, then went to give each of the little witches in the class a small stamp.

After returning to her dorm that evening, Moran went to see Lilith, her senior.

"Oh! It's Moran, junior! What can I do for you, your dear senior?" Lilith leaned against the door and said with a smile.

"Here, senior." Moran handed her a small stamp.

"A magic seal? You gave it to me so soon? The seniors usually give them to me right before graduation!" Lilith said, playing with the little seal. "Senior, you forgot? There's still the graduation exam before graduation! After the exam, I have to prepare to leave the academy. I don't even know if I'll have time to make the seal then!" Moran said.

She remembered that the fifth-grade students from the previous year didn't have much time before leaving school!

"Damn exam!" Lilith put on her mask of pain. "Wait a minute! How did you end up making a magic seal? Didn't you say you just learned how to make golden bird stationery on Sunday?"

"To be precise, I learned it last Thursday. I learned how to make a magic clock on Monday, a magic stove and a magic lamp on Tuesday, and I only made a magic seal today," Moran said.

Lilith's expression became even more pained. Is it reasonable for someone to learn to make one or two magical items in a single day?
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I haven't finished reading my book yet!"

The door slammed shut.

Moran: "..."

My senior's temper is even more unpredictable than the effects of a curse.

Back in magic class, when they were learning the spell of bad luck, Ms. Amisha had them practice on each other.

During that time, the little witches were always on edge, wondering what misfortune might befall them next.

You might slip and fall flat on your face; a bird dropping might fall from the sky; your flying broom might suddenly come loose and drop a bunch of broom grass; your completed workbook might get soaked; you might get hit on the head by a breadfruit; you might bite your tongue while eating… Anything can happen.

Thankfully, the misfortune spell was only at the novice level, a minor prank; otherwise, I can't even imagine what might have happened.

On Thursday afternoon, after Moran rode his flying broom to the alchemy lab, he didn't put the broom on the broom rack outside the classroom as usual, but instead took the broom directly into the classroom.

"Great! You'll be able to learn how to add an invisible cushion to the broom today, right?" Sylph said enviously.

Moran smiled slightly: "It should be fine. You should be able to make the Golden Bird Letter Paper by today, right? I saw yesterday that you were making pretty good progress."

Sylph and Vasita nodded.

The other little witches also said, "It should be soon."

Actually, they should have been far from being good enough.

Their alchemical talent was poor, and their conversion of magical power into runic power was extremely inefficient. They had a lot of magical power, but it would run out quickly after a short time, so their progress was initially slower than that of Sylph and Vashida.

Last week, in order to catch up on the schedule, Cheryl went to pick breadfruit to practice.

She bought Vasida's Apprentice-level Food Restoration Magic. The satiating effect of breadfruit could also be converted into a certain amount of magic power. Combined with the restorative effect of breadfruit itself, her magic power was able to keep up with the frequency of her practice.

With one person taking the lead, the other little witches naturally followed suit.

By eating breadfruit, they were able to keep up with Vasita and Sylph at roughly the same pace.

They didn't chat much, and after arriving at their seats, they went about their own business without needing Ms. Amisa's instructions.

The other little witches continued practicing making golden bird letter paper, while Moran looked at the alchemical blueprints for an invisible cushion in the textbook.

The invisible seat cushion requires no additional materials; simply engrave the runes onto the broom handle.

However, there's only one broom handle, so if you break it, it's no good.

With her current level of wood carving, it's easy for her to carve runes on a flying broom, which is equivalent to a magical item, but it's very difficult to repair the carvings, so she can't afford to make any mistakes.

To make thorough preparations, Moran used the Wood Shaping Technique to sculpt several pieces of wood that resembled the shape of her broom handle, engraved runes on them, and then practiced filling them with runic power many times.

Only after making no mistakes and becoming highly skilled did he begin to work on his broom handle.

With utmost care, it was finally possible to safely engrave the rune combination onto the invisible seat cushion, filling it with runic power.
