The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 367 Outline Teaching
The little witches looked puzzled: "What's the outline?"

"So many books, you're going to finish them in three days? Moran, are you serious?" Cheryl asked. "Even finishing two books a day would be a challenge!"

"..." Moran finally understood why they were so troubled by an open-book exam that lasted three days:

"Are you really planning to cram in that super long reading list in these three days, word for word? It's an open-book exam! You can even look at the books then!"

“Even if we can look up the questions in the book, with the number of questions mentioned in the notice, it’s impossible to finish them all if we have to find them one by one!” Vasita said. “I even think that the dean might be doing this on purpose, leaving a bunch of difficult questions so that we will fail the exam, and then punishing us with a workbook to slow down our progress out of the wilderness.”

After all, it's been said that you shouldn't venture into the wilderness until you've finished the workbook.

Although it's not mandatory, the witches generally follow it.

After all, given that the dean had repeatedly emphasized that this workbook contained essential survival knowledge, not completing it would leave one with a sense of insecurity that one's abilities were insufficient to face wilderness situations.

“That’s why you need to make an outline!” Moran said. “You can roughly figure out what each book is about by looking at the table of contents, right? At most, you can just pick out a few paragraphs to look at.”

By outlining each book, you can get a general idea of ​​what each book is about.

During the exam, having an outline helps you know which book to look up for each question.

Even if I still can't finish answering all the questions, it shouldn't be too far off.

And surely it's not necessary for everyone to have to look up the answer in a book for every question?

The theoretical classes in the first, second, and third years weren't for nothing.

The little witches looked at each other, dumbfounded: "You can do that?"

“Otherwise?” Moran said.

"Moran! How should we draft this outline? Tell us quickly!"

The little witches immediately forgot about the delicious food beside them and were eager to learn how to make an outline.

"The food is ready," Moran said. "Let's finish lunch first! I'll outline a few books with you later, and then you'll know what to do. As long as you have a general idea of ​​the content of each book, that will be enough for you to handle the exam."

Don't forget, the Book of Witches also has a search function that allows you to search by keywords. Searching all the books at once would be too broad and make it difficult and time-consuming to find the answer, but once you've identified the book containing the answer, it's much easier to find it later.

So what we actually need to do is use the outline method to do a preliminary screening, narrow down the search scope, and save time looking up information when doing practice questions.

The little witches nodded repeatedly.

They ate the meal faster than they would a breadfruit.

After they finished eating, they all clutched the Book of Witches and looked at Moran expectantly.

This forced Moran to speed up her eating.

After finishing their meal, Moran tidied up the kitchen utensils, put the mobile kitchen back into the card deck, clapped her hands, and walked to the front of the sofa area.

He took out a mortal sofa chair, sat down, and casually used magic to write the words "Valen Continent" in the air:

"The 'Valen Continent' series, consisting of several hundred volumes, is considered the most comprehensive encyclopedia of the Valen Continent."

I'll use this set of books as an example. Although the set has a lot of volumes, you can basically understand what each book is about by looking at the preface and table of contents.

After speaking, Moran looked at the little witches and saw that they were silent, with doubt and surprise in their eyes. Moran asked, "What's wrong? Or do you want me to use other books as examples?"

The little witches all shook their heads.

"Moran, you used the light-based magic marking spell, right?" Alba asked confidently. "That's right," Moran said. "This spell is quite convenient for writing on the blackboard."

She learned it from Ms. Amissa, who used marking techniques to write on the blackboard and water mirror techniques to project images during her classes.

"And where is your wand?" Sylph asked.

"Moran, you haven't already surpassed the peak level, have you? You've even learned to cast spells without a staff?" Vasita felt like the world had gone mad.

There are witches who haven't even graduated yet, but they've already mastered the ultimate level of wandless spellcasting. Who would believe that?!
"How is that possible! I haven't even reached the peak level of a single magic spell yet! Let alone the super peak level."

Moran said, extending his finger to temporarily dispel the invisibility effect on the wand ring: "The wand is right here! It's just been reshaped into a ring."

"Oh, I see!" The little witches breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Vasita and Sylph knew how difficult it was to modify the wand like that.

"So Moran, your alchemical magic has reached an advanced level?" Sylph and Vasita asked.

Moran nodded.

Sylph and Vasita didn't want to talk anymore.

That year, they had a hard time just dealing with the various monsters around them and trying to survive.

Alchemy and potion-making require a stable and safe environment to operate effectively.

With the threat of magical beasts, they had no way to practice alchemy or make medicine.

That year, a lot of magical materials were collected, but there was no progress in either of the two magic systems.

Moran's progress in alchemical magic shows just how comfortable she has been this past year.

“If there are no further questions, I will continue!” Moran said.

The little witches perked up again at the thought of the exam.

They can't catch up to Moran's level, but they can't fall further behind, can they?
Then, without even taking out the Book of the Moran Witch, she sat there talking eloquently, and when she talked about the contents of the book, she could pinpoint which volume, which page, and even which paragraph.

They hurriedly flipped through the pages in the witch's book that recorded the continent of Valen. Their page-turning speed couldn't keep up with Moran's explanations, and Moran had to stop and wait for them to find the right place.

The content mentioned was exactly the same as that in the book; it was as if they were reading directly from the book.

Now the little witches finally understood just how outrageous Moran's photographic memory really was.

It's like it's been copied into my brain.

Moran led them through a summary of the entire Valen Continent series, creating an outline, which took just over an hour.

"Now I'll give you a few questions. Try to narrow down the scope based on the outline and then search for the answers."

Moran said:
"First question, listen carefully: Which human nation is closest to the Witch Wilderness, and who is currently in power?"

The little witches immediately went to look at the outline they had just followed with Moranley:

"A human nation, located in volumes 10-60 of the 'Valen Continent,' near the Witch's Wilderness... Found it, in volume 37! It's the Duchy of Lance, and the current ruler is Clara Lance!"

The answer was found in less than a minute.
