The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 268 Evening After Class
As darkness fell, the little witches faced increasing difficulties in their journey through the mountains and forests.

Around seven o'clock, Vasida, who had walked around the foot of the mountain, finally found a small pool of water and became the third person to complete the task and leave the inner area.

"Good heavens! We're finally out!" Vasita felt like the day had been dragging on forever. "I was starting to doubt if there was any water at the foot of that mountain! And the luck spell didn't work at all!"

Moran saw it clearly and shook his head, saying, "The sunny side of that mountain is full of giant ant nests. Giant ants don't like water. You're already very lucky to have found a small pond at the foot of that mountain."

"Giant ants don't like water?" Vasita exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know that?"

“It’s in the picture book ‘Wallen’s Biological Encyclopedia’ on the sixth floor of the library. However, the section on wild animals in this book is based on ‘The Wild Animal Encyclopedia,’ which should also have them,” Moran said.

Otherwise, Ms. Amisa wouldn't have listed the forest where the giant ants lived as one of the training locations for her wilderness survival course.

Twenty-seven little witches, and near each of the forests they enter, there is a pack of wild beasts that can cause them considerable trouble.

However, Vasita was alone; she charged straight into the pack of wild beasts.

They were initially confident in their resilience, but they never expected the giant ants to be poisonous.

Vasita flipped through "The Wild Beast Handbook": "There really is one!"

The next page is about how giant ants have poor eyesight and rely mainly on smell to perceive the outside world, and how mud and water mixed with their flesh and blood can confuse their senses.

Once she found a way to leave the ant swarm, she started thinking about which earth magic would be better for covering herself in mud, and didn't continue reading.

I never expected to miss such important information.

"If I had just looked back one more time, things wouldn't have come to this!" Vasita sighed in regret.

“This incident is actually a good thing!” Moran said. “At least you won’t just rely on your good physical condition and strong recovery ability to rush into enemy territory again, right? Your enthusiasm for learning magic is also stronger.”

Judging from what she saw on the monitor screen all afternoon, Vasita's fighting power was indeed the strongest among the little witches, besides herself.

She can fight wild beasts hand-to-hand without using magic.

If they hadn't ventured deep into the giant ant colony and been poisoned to the point of immobility, they wouldn't have had such a difficult experience.

For her, the only difficulties were the poison and finding a water source.

Vasita felt a little guilty and quickly agreed, "Learning magic from books is really useful!"

Moran's smooth and effortless progression through the game was due to the extensive reading and magical knowledge she had acquired.

"Are you hungry? Have something to eat!" Moran had prepared a large amount of food for her.

"This whole table is mine?" Vasita asked incredulously, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Besides the dinner I left for the other little witches, the rest is all here,” Moran said. “But this probably won’t be enough for you to be completely full. Go pick some breadfruit from the breadfruit grove later!”

The breadfruit grove is right next door, which is very convenient.

Seeing how difficult and miserable Vasita's escape from the giant ant swarm was, and how she had been searching for water and hadn't even had time to eat the prey she had hunted, she prepared a separate meal for her.

Otherwise, given Vasita's personality, she wouldn't dare to eat freely until the other little witches had eaten their fill.

“(●) Moran~” Vasita gave Moran a big hug, then eagerly sat down at the small table and began to eat heartily. Sylph, already full, propped herself up on the grass, rubbing her stomach, and advised Vasita, “Eat slowly! You have to savor it to enjoy the flavor!”

She regretted eating too quickly and getting full; her tongue was still craving more, but her stomach couldn't eat anymore.

This is even after using the {Dietary Supplement and Strengthening Card}, which sped up the digestion process.

"Hmm!" Vasita nodded haphazardly, muttering to herself, but her pace slowed, and her eyes lingered on the monitor screen: "I wonder who's next!"

"get out of class will end in half an hour," Moran said. "Beasts appear more frequently at night, and most of them don't have the darkvision ability of the vampires. Their vision is actually obstructed at night. Some of them are still using light magic, and they're not very skilled at casting spells. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them."

She spent the whole afternoon observing them and gained a fairly clear understanding of the little witches' situation.

"Wait! Look! Cheryl seems to have found a water source!" Sylph exclaimed.

On a small projection screen, Cheryl, carrying an illumination orb, was running wildly through the forest, pursued by a group of green eyes that were impossible to discern.

As she ran, the light spell expired and went out. In the brief moment before it was reactivated, she lost her footing and fell off the cliff.

And just then, he fell into a river.

She found water, but the river wasn't very deep. As she fell from a great height, the river helped reduce the force of her fall, and she still managed to touch the bottom.

She can't swim, and her specialty is fire magic, which is useless against this kind of impact.

He was rescued despite being severely injured, and his entire body was enveloped in a magical waterbed.

Moran had studied magical waterbeds; this enveloping treatment method was the most efficient.

It's clear that Cheryl's injury was quite serious.

After ten minutes of treatment on the magical waterbed, she woke up, and the first thing she did was ask Ms. Amisha:

"I found the water source! Does this mean I passed or failed?"

"I regret to inform you that you have not passed," said Cheryl's guardian witch. "When you came into contact with the water source, it was already too late to get any more. Next time, you will be teleported directly to where you fell. Only when you reach the river will you have completed the task for this lesson."

Clearly, Cheryl will not be able to safely descend the cliff and reach the riverbank today.

Cheryl wasn't fully recovered when it was time for get out of class to end.

A portal appeared in front of all the little witches still in the inner area.

They also heard Ms. Amisa's voice telling them to teleport away immediately.

"Only Moran, Sylph, and Vasita have completed today's lesson. The other little witches will continue with today's lesson next week. Moran, Sylph, and Vasita can now move on to the new terrain to learn," said Amisha in her purple robes.

"Huh?" The little witches didn't want to fall behind like this: "Dean, can we catch up during our free time this week?"

Amisha was slightly surprised: "The areas explored in class assignments aren't recorded on your academy map, meaning they don't help you much in exploring the inner areas. Does that mean you still have to use your free time to complete course assignments?"

“Of course!” the little witches said in unison.
