The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 28 Practice Exercises
Hearing the gasps behind her, Moran inexplicably felt less alone.

For Moran and her two companions, the magical contamination was a negligible amount of energy.

Even though Moran's magic power hadn't fully recovered, he didn't eat any breadfruit right now, which didn't affect his practice at all.

The three of them were also the first to be able to consistently turn the developing paper into a uniform dark green.

The clock tower bells rang twelve times, and as class ended, the other little witches were also able to properly use the magical contamination techniques.

Although the developing papers in front of the little witches varied in shade, some were dark and some were light, they were all a uniform green.

Ms. Amisa finished her class with satisfaction, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give them some advice:

"The first time you activate your energy vision, it must be done under the supervision of an adult witch. Do not attempt it on your own during lunch break. If something goes wrong, you may experience anything from decreased vision to blindness!"

After confirming that each little witch had heard what she said, she left without any intention of supervising them.

As soon as Ms. Amisa left, many of the little witches stood up from their seats.

"I'm so full! I need to go for a walk to digest! Otherwise, I won't be able to eat any breadfruit this afternoon!"

"I am coming too!"

"I'd like to go to the restroom."

"Let's go together!"

……

Soon the classroom was almost empty.

There wasn't a single little witch driven by curiosity or wishful thinking to harm her own eyeballs.

Moran was not surprised by this.

She had long noticed that the little witches were much more mature than the children of the same age on Earth in her previous life.

She also went to the restroom with Vasita and Sylph.

Then we went back to the classroom for lunch.

Vasita and Sylph ate breadfruit cakes, while Moran continued to nibble on breadfruit.

After filling their stomachs, Vasita and Sylph both wanted to explore the castle.

Moran shook her head: "You all go ahead, I want to practice magic infiltration some more."

"Didn't they already pass the test?" Vasita asked, puzzled.

“But there are different shades of green. We’ve only mastered one level of magical infiltration. I think more practice should help improve our control over magic,” Moran said.

"There's no rush... Once you learn magic and use more magic, your control will naturally improve, right?"

Sylph didn't quite understand either.

She had been sitting in the classroom for two hours staring at the developing paper, and she wanted to go to the castle garden for some fresh air.

“Practice makes perfect,” Moran said. “You two go ahead! But could I borrow your developing paper?”

This way, she won't have to wait for the 30-second recovery interval.

"Go ahead and use it!" She was so firm that Vasita and Sylph didn't insist.

Once the two of them left, Moran was truly the only one left in the classroom.

Moran continued to experiment with magical infiltration.

At first, I tried to make the developing paper turn into various shades of green with a uniform color.

Later, the difficulty was increased, and the colors became uniformly varied, including different shades of yellow and red.

Finally, she could even control the output of magic, making the developing paper appear in different red, yellow, and green blobs and even patterns according to her wishes and ideas. When her own developing paper was in recovery time, she would go to Vasita and Sylph's seats to practice.

Using three developing sheets in rotation greatly improved her efficiency.

Through repeated practice, she gained a deeper understanding of her magic.

She had a clear understanding of how much magic power, what output speed, and what effect the developing paper would produce.

Moran knew that the color changes on the developing paper were only in response to the magical contamination.

Practicing a stable output of magic to make the developing paper red, yellow, or even various other colors won't be of much help to her future spellcasting, as she'll have different magic output needs later on.

However, this kind of training allows her to better control her power, become proficient in casting spells with a calm mind, and freely control her thoughts.

Even though she hasn't seen her first card yet, there's no doubt that the groove in the middle of her card book is a powerful tool for absorbing magic power.

Looking back, the reason why her magic flowed out so rapidly and uncontrollably that day was not only because it was her first time using magic, and she was experiencing great emotional fluctuations and lacked self-control.

It's also because the card slots have such a strong attraction for magic. Half of it is because I didn't realize I needed to control it, and the other half is simply because the card slots drained my magic.

Moran absolutely did not want to experience that situation again, where she suddenly became dizzy.

After much thought, I realized I could only practice my magic control more.

Vasita and Sylph went out for a walk and then came back.

I glanced briefly at the developing paper in front of Moran and saw a sea of ​​red, yellow and green.

I'm full of questions. Why am I getting worse the more I practice?

Moran, however, stopped, satisfied: "You're back? How was it?"

“Most places aren’t open to us right now, even the library. We can only go into some empty classrooms, and there’s nothing much to see. We just strolled around the castle’s little garden and came back; it’s quite pretty there,” Sylph said. “But Moran, how come you’re getting worse and worse…”

“Look! Doesn’t this look like a painting, a hillside covered with poppies and wild chrysanthemums?” Moran said proudly, “There are too few colors, and they can’t be mixed yet. You have to look closely to see even a little bit.”

Vasita and Sylph then took a closer look.

"They really do look a bit like poppies and wild chrysanthemums!"

"The varying shades of green really do give it a grassy feel."

Although somewhat rough, it is certainly not a random arrangement or a chaotic mess.

"Moran! Did you deliberately make the developing paper like this?" Vasita asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" Moran said, "Not bad, right? It's a pity that this is the limit when you practice with developing paper."

Sylph nodded: "We've only been gone for a little over an hour, and you're already able to use magic to draw on developing paper. That's amazing!"

"Compared to this, our training is far too rudimentary!" Vasida said.

"There's still some time before class, you can practice some more!" Moran said. "It's still very useful!"

"Hmm!" Vasita and Sylph couldn't stand it anymore and started practicing too.

Moran didn't rest either. She took a few bites of breadfruit and continued to saturate the developing paper with different intensities to deepen the impression.

Soon after, Ais and Alba returned to the classroom, chatting and laughing.

As they were talking, they suddenly noticed that Moran and the other two were sitting neatly in their seats, engrossed in practicing magical infiltration!
There was no sound at all, so they only just realized it.

Ais asked Alba uncertainly, "Hasn't class started yet?"

She even glanced at the podium, otherwise she would have thought Ms. Amisa was there too.

Alba shook her head: "I didn't hear the two o'clock chime! And Ms. Amisa isn't here either."
