The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 310 Who Will Be the Bait?
At first, Ais thought Alba was a sunny and cheerful little witch, as warm as the feeling of light magic. But after getting to know her better, she realized that she was a black-hearted person.

"Hey! Why do you still discriminate against magic?" Alba muttered. "Besides, my dark magic talent is actually not bad, I'm at the intermediate level, but becoming a dark witch is impossible unless I can find a way to improve my magic talent from the Well of Heaven, just like Ms. Amisha!"

"Then, Ms. Alba, if you were to improve your magical talent, which type of magical talent would you improve first?" Ais asked seriously.

“A curse? No, let’s go with the dark element! Curses involve the power of fate, and it wouldn’t be good if cursing someone backfired on me.” Alba said with difficulty, “Actually, I want both.”

Moran, Vasita, Sylph, and Cheryl exclaimed, "So this is what Alba is really like!"

Ais was overjoyed: "Thank goodness, everyone finally knows your attributes."

Alba: "()"

How embarrassing!
"Hey, shall we go out hunting Red-eyed Birds now? I've heard they're beasts that will fight to the death once they've chosen their prey. How about I act as the 'bait'?" Alba volunteered. "I'll lure them over, then use a Super Flash spell to blind them. They won't be able to see properly for a minute. Then we can all gang up on them and beat them to a pulp. What do you say?"

"You were just saying that the light elemental power is insufficient at night, which would affect the effectiveness of your magic, and you don't dare to stay out overnight easily. How come you dare to be bait now? It's getting late!" Ais said, "I'd rather be the bait. Anyway, all my high-damage magic is fire magic. If I burn the wings of the Red-Eyed Bird beforehand, it won't be good for marinating it. I can only do my job as bait."

“I’d be better off doing it than you. I’m best at fire magic. I might not be able to help much with the attack because of the taste of the wings, but I’d be perfect as bait! Besides, my flying skills are excellent, so there won’t be any problems!” Cheryl said.

"You three should just give up! I'm more like it! Which of you has a higher defense than me? The other day, the golden leopard bit me and broke my teeth!" Vasida rolled up her sleeves, showing off her fleshy but incredibly defensive forearms.

“I…” Sylph thought for a moment, realizing that she really didn’t have any advantage over Vasita: “(｀⌒メ)!”

Moran: "..."

Sure enough, even the seemingly harmless little witch has a cruel and reckless side!

While Moran understood, she couldn't agree:
"Don't even think about it, any of you!"

When they're alone, they're all incredibly cautious, survival is ingrained in their blood; but when they're together, they all vie to be the most dangerous bait!

“What should we do then?” Sylph asked.

“I’ll be responsible for attracting and shooting down the red-eyed birds, and you guys are responsible for collecting the carcasses!” Moran said.

"Wait a minute, aren't you just using yourself as bait?" Vasita said, displeased.

“How can that be the same!” Moran said, “I’ve hunted Red-eyed Birds before, and I used the same method! It’s just that I only got the carcass of the last Red-eyed Bird I shot down that time; I didn’t have time to pick up the ones that fell earlier.”

"I have experience hunting red-eyed birds, and I guarantee I can outrun one. Can you do that?"

The five little witches lowered their eyes: "No..."

They had only ever seen red-eyed birds in books. "I'm familiar with this area, and I'm familiar with the grove where the red-eyed birds live. Are you familiar with it?"

The five little witches lowered their heads: "We're not familiar with them..."

"Or perhaps any of you has more magic power than me, or greater magical accuracy, and can guarantee to shoot down all the Red-Eyed Birds? That's not just one or two, but dozens!"

Ais, Alba, and Cheryl: "..."

They can't compare, they really can't compare. Their magical power is only at the beginner level, while Moran was already at the intermediate level when she enrolled.

Even Sylph and Vasita knew that their witch magic was far inferior to Moran's in terms of both popularity and accuracy.

“That’s why I came here – it’s the safest way,” Moran said. “Even if there are six of us, even if we’re facing just ordinary wild beasts, we can’t let our guard down and take reckless risks! It was alright at the academy, but once we’re out in the wilderness, our companions might also be a source of danger.”

"Alright..." The little witches reluctantly agreed to the plan, but it was a pity that they couldn't show off their skills.

Moran looked at their dejected appearance and shook her head with a smile:

"Don't underestimate the task of collecting the carcasses of the Red-Eyed Birds. Do you think I only managed to collect the last carcass? It's because the others were eaten by other wild animals!"

It was still daytime when I returned, having killed all the red-eyed birds. The spot where the carcasses had fallen was completely bare, not a single feather remained. The wild animals in the forest are much quicker to seize such a windfall than you might imagine! And there are even more wild animals foraging at night!
If you encounter a difficult person, you may have to go through a tough battle.

So we need to discuss the route for hunting the red-eyed birds in advance. In case you don't keep up, you can take a shortcut to catch up. Once you catch up, I can continue hunting the red-eyed birds. Otherwise, it will be another waste of a pair of wings!
If you've ever eaten the wings of a red-eyed bird, you'll be just like me—unwilling to waste a single wing!

Upon hearing that even collecting bird carcasses could lead to a fight, the girls immediately perked up again.

"Don't worry, we will definitely not miss a single red-eyed bird!" Vasita assured her.

“Yes! I think the two of us little witches are more than capable of handling all the wild beasts in the mountains,” Alba said. “Why don’t we split into two groups? That would be more efficient.”

“You two pair up, I can manage on my own. The beasts can barely break through my defenses anymore, there’s absolutely no problem,” Vasita said.

This time Moran didn't stop her, which was definitely better.

They opened the map, discussed the route for hunting the red-eyed bird and the approximate location where it would be shot down, and set off before it got dark.

Three groups of female witches, tasked with looting corpses, lay in ambush near the three predicted landing sites. Moran flew alone to the Dark Leaf Forest where the Red-Eyed Birds were located, circled around there, and lured out a large flock of Red-Eyed Birds.

First, accelerate the flight to create distance, and when you reach the first landing point, slow down and aim at the bird's head to cast the spell.

Her golden arrow technique is now much stronger than before; she can shoot six golden arrows at once, taking away the corpses of six red-eyed birds.
