The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 255 End of the Second Academic Year

Moran became more and more convinced of her own righteousness, took out a piece of golden bird letter paper, and wrote a reply to her mother.

Shana has been staying near the clan guild lately, spending half of her daily magic power as gem coins to draw cards or buy cards.

She received Moran's reply that same day.

"Mom, be careful when drawing cards! Once sold, cards are non-refundable and non-exchangeable! Not even for Mom!"

After reading the first paragraph, Shana gave a soft hum.

Is she that kind of person?

Read on.

"Also, let me report on my recent learning progress..."

Shana's eyes gradually filled with astonishment as she listened to the long passages of the learning material being described.

"I haven't finished learning the Dark Magic of the ten main branches of the Elemental School yet. I've learned all nine other main branches of the Elemental School, and I've reached the beginner level in the five elemental magics of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"I have mastered all spatial magic."

"I've read all the alchemy books. I've already learned how to craft sixty-eight kinds of low-level magical items."

"Basic level alchemy magic, capable of crafting all apprentice-level potions and some basic potions."

……

After reading the letter, Shana had only one thought: "Is this something a normal person could do? Isn't it too outrageous?"

She had a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

When she left Moon Harbor, her only worry was that one day her daughter would catch up with her.

Unexpectedly, her worries became a reality after only a few days at the clan gathering.

Her daughter is already better than her.

Even among witches, Shana felt that no witch could do what Moran did.

Stimulated by this letter, Shana, who had been engrossed in gacha games lately, suddenly remembered that she was from a Hui tribe and wanted to learn magic to improve herself.

Just a few days ago, when I arrived at the clan library, I was drawn to a flyer about card magic, so I copied down this book and rushed out to study it.

Remembering the purpose of her return, she went to the library again.

I just discovered that the library has more than just "Card Magic" as a new witch's magic book. There are three other books that were released around the same time and were all written by underage little witches.

"No wonder Moran is working so hard! This generation of young witches is truly full of talent! There are already four witches!"

Shana sighed for a moment, then copied down the witch's magic books, and also copied down a few elemental magic books, intending to improve her elemental magic skills.

Even if you don't become exceptionally skilled, you should at least live up to your magical talent.

Inside the witch academy, Moran looked at the dark magic book and felt a sense of relief when she heard the academy bells chime.

The college's mail delivery channel is closed, so even if Shana's mother wanted to write to her again, it would take two weeks before the letter could reach her.

Unbeknownst to her, her mother had set up a small tent near the clan meeting place and begun the most arduous magical training she had undertaken since graduating.

The days spent immersed in studying passed by very quickly. Dean No. 69 reminded her that she only realized the holiday was almost over when she attended the entrance ceremony at 8 pm three days later.

She picked up the learning goals she had set for herself at the beginning of the school year, and looking at the completed ones, Moran smiled with satisfaction.

The handwriting on the paper varied in age, but each stroke represented a stage of her progress.

In addition to studying the ten main branches of elemental magic, as well as spatial magic and alchemy, she also finished reading the books on healing magic in the second-year library and made some initial attempts, all of which were successful.

However, due to the special nature of this type of magic, Moran did not practice it much. He only tried a few times when he first learned it and was able to cast it successfully, but the effect was only so-so.

Fortunately, after the entrance ceremony, she will be a third-year student, and the inner area of ​​the academy will be open to them, giving her the opportunity to practice healing magic in the inner area.

Thinking about this, Moran felt a sense of anticipation.

"By the way, we're going into our third year, and Lilith will be going into her fourth year. Fourth-year students will be moving out of the dorms. Has Lilith found a place to live in the outskirts yet?"

"Dong dong!"

"Moran!"

Are you in the dorm?

"exist!"

Upon hearing Vasita and Sylph's voices, Moran quickly went to open the door.

"Moran, you've received the notification about the entrance ceremony time, right? Are you still going to announce it at this year's ceremony?" Vasida asked anxiously as soon as she saw her.

"It's the same as last year: a tasting event and some flyers."

Although Moran's card magic is selling well in the clan, the share of new students is not something she urgently needs.

But even a mosquito bite is still meat! And it doesn't take much effort; we can use the same methods as last year.

"But this time I don't need to find someone to demonstrate how to use the cards; I can just use cooking magic to do it myself. I can also use levitation to hand out flyers!"

Moran's cooking magic and levitation skills are already at a level that allows her to handle this task on her own.

“Alright! We’ll do it together then.” Vasita said, “I plan to do what Senior Lilith did back then, personally demonstrate my physical strength to the freshmen, and promote my witch magic and related cards.”

“I also applied to the dean for a long table, and I plan to put some mutated fruits there. I’ll take this opportunity to promote my mutated fruit cultivation magic,” Sylph said.

Having thoroughly studied Moran's "Blue Star Business Manual," they now possessed greater insights into how to sell their magic.

Moran was delighted by this: "It seems that the new female students will also experience the taste of 'poverty' at this year's entrance ceremony."

These words were told to them by their junior, Bertha.

Their promotion at last year's enrollment ceremony was very successful.

This sparked the curiosity and interest of the first-year female students in witch magic, but they were too young and lacked sufficient magical power. Furthermore, Ms. Amisa strictly forbade them from using too much permanent magical power to purchase witch magic.

So even though they had no money and nowhere to spend it, they experienced the taste of "poverty" ahead of time.

It's not that I'm poor because of money, but because I lack magical power. I can't afford all the witch spells that interest me for the time being, so I have to make painful choices.

"Haha! How can you work harder to get rich if you've never been poor?" Vasita laughed. "I heard Ms. Amisha say that although the first-year students aren't as hardworking as we were back then, they're still better than previous years. It's all because they're poor. After all, practicing magic more will stimulate the growth of magical power faster!"

Amidst the laughter and banter of the three, Moran remembered Lilith, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and inquired about her recent situation:
"Have you seen Lilith recently? Has she finished building her accommodation? Is she participating in the promotion this year?"
