The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 269: Too blunt
“If you’re willing, you can protect the Dean after class and he can teleport you back to the classroom mission location to continue your mission,” Amisha said. “Try to go when you don’t have classes to avoid getting injured and affecting your classes that day.”

"Understood!" the little witches replied, glancing towards Moran and the others.

Although they were determined to catch up with Moran and the others in class, that was a matter for later. At this moment, their stomachs were rumbling, their mouths were watering, and all they could see was food.

The cold, hard prey I brought back myself couldn't compare to the deliciousness of Moran's cooking!
Amisha saw this, copied the recorded commentary video for them, and then left with the other guardian deans.

As soon as the deans left, Moran hurriedly called to the little witches, "Are you hungry? Come and eat!"

The little witches ran off, devouring the food with gusto: "Mmm~ It smells so good!"

Moran and Sylph sat together, rubbing their bellies to help them digest. The little witches ate happily, and she watched with amusement.

"Moran, what if I bring a pot of Screaming Bellflowers into the forest next time? Would the Dean allow it?" Sylph asked her.

Moran's mind flashed back to the image of Sylph carrying the screaming bellflower, causing all the wild beasts in her path to cower in her wake. He hesitated and said:

"I should be able to, since it's a manifestation of your talent! Can't I just use cards whenever I want?"
Now that you mention it, I'm thinking of getting one too. I wouldn't even need to practice Confusion or Swamp spells; I could just plug my ears, let the bellflower howl through the valley, and all the wild boars in the valley would faint and be at my mercy.

Upon hearing their words, Vasita perked up: "Then wouldn't it be possible for me to use the bellflowers to stun the giant ant swarm and get revenge for being besieged today?"

The other little witches perked up their ears.

Sylph gave each of them a screaming bellflower seed!
Even the magic for planting screaming bellflowers was discounted by Sylph, making it a very good deal for them.

If bellflowers could really be used to deal with wild beasts, wouldn't they be able to wreak havoc in the mountains and forests?

Unfortunately, before they could confirm with the dean, a voice protecting the dean appeared, extinguishing their hopes:

“Sylph can be used, but the other little witches cannot.”

Sylph's eyes lit up, while the other little witches sighed.

Without asking, they knew why.

While witch magic can enhance their strength, it is ultimately magic unique to witches, not a power they truly possess.

Witch magic is like external assistance; during the learning phase, it should be avoided if possible.

Moran felt a little regretful that she couldn't use the Screaming Bellflower.

Learning two spells to a higher level is much more troublesome than planting a potted plant.

“Even if it’s Sylph, I don’t recommend you use it. After all, you’ve already mastered the cultivation of bellflowers. What you lack now is learning magic and knowledge of wilderness survival. After leaving the academy, it will be difficult to have such a safe training opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, Sylph's joy cooled, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized it was indeed true: "I understand. Until I can navigate the inner area with ease using only witch magic, I will not use mutated plants to make things easier for myself."

A soft chuckle drifted through the air; Ms. Amisa must have been quite pleased.

Sylph broke down instantly, burying her face in Moran's neck and muttering softly, "Ugh! I still have to deal with the beasts!"

Moran comforted her, "It's good to learn to increase the difficulty for yourself, but you don't need to affect the development progress of your talent manifestation in order to increase the difficulty. You can save a lot of trouble later by using the mutated bellflower to protect the plants you cultivate."

"That's right! I can put a screaming bellflower around the plantation. Once they mature, they can accurately stun the enemy!" Thinking of this, Sylph became happy again.

She doesn't care if she works hard to hunt wild animals; as long as her precious plants have a safe place to grow well, that's enough.

"I need to travel around the inner area more often and find a suitable place to start a plantation as soon as possible. I've already collected three mutated plant seeds that I haven't planted yet."

“I’ve found a great place to build a house!” Moran said with a smile. “So soon? Where?” Vasita asked between bites of food.

Sylph looked at her curiously as well.

“That’s the territory of those wild boars!” Moran said. “Once I’ve dealt with them, I’ll take over that valley. Then, taking advantage of the terrain, I can dig a stone chamber on the cliff by the waterfall and live there. It’ll be safe and easy.”

The valley has fertile soil, which is also suitable for crop growth.

I just don't know how far that valley is from the core area. I still have a few picture books I haven't read yet, and I don't know if I can finish them this year. If it's too far, it'll be inconvenient for me to travel back and forth to the academy castle.

She looked at the inner area of ​​the academy on the map; it was still shrouded in mist.

The area we walked through during class was not shown either.

"Um... will our next wilderness survival class be at the same place as today?" Sylph asked, puzzled.

"It shouldn't be. Ms. Amisha said the next one will be new terrain... New terrain?!"

Moran froze for a moment: "Oh no! I'm not going to lose that valley, am I?!"

She quickly asked Ms. Amisha (number 69) if she could be teleported to Boar Valley when she explored the inner area later.

The only answer I received was a curt two words: "No."

Now it was Moran's turn to sigh.

I was thinking of prioritizing learning the Confusion spell and improving the Swamp spell to deal with those wild boars!

As a result, it seems that even Wild Boar Valley can no longer be found now.

Unless she can explore the entire inner area.

“Maybe when you explore the inner area later, you’ll find a more suitable place than Wild Boar Valley! There’s no need to choose a place so quickly,” Sylph comforted her.

“Yes! The inner area is so big, with mountains everywhere and many valleys!” Vasida said.

"No! There's another way we can find it!" Moran suddenly looked up.

"What method?" Vasita and Sylph asked curiously.

"The Directions Technique!" Moran said, "The Apprentice-level Directions Technique can only point to the cardinal directions, while the Beginner-level Directions Technique can be used to divine locations. Although the divination range cannot be too far and there are some limitations, it should be enough to find a place I have been to in the inner area!"

"If I could reach the intermediate level, finding the materials for alchemy would be much easier!"

She decided to put the study of curse magic on hold for now and instead learn prophecy and mind magic first.

These two types of magic will be more useful for her exploring the inner area.

Vasita and Sylph: "As expected of you, Moran!"

"Do you want to learn it? Prophecy magic is much more useful than other magic when it comes to finding things and clues," Moran said.

"study!"

They say one thing but do another, and that perfectly describes Sylph and Vasita.
