The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Lilith's sudden shout made Moran's newly released fire spell falter for a moment: "Aren't you a little too slow to react?"

"Isn't sixteen badges a bit too much?" Lilith said. "Even if you do nothing and practice magic all the time, you wouldn't get that fast!"

Sylph and Vasita already knew Moran's progress and weren't surprised at all. Instead, they were more curious about Lilith: "Senior, how many title badges have you got?"

"..." Lilith was heartbroken.

She started school a year earlier and graduated a year earlier, but she only managed to get the three title badges: Fire, Metal, and Alchemy!
Although they are learning magic from other schools, they haven't reached the point where they can apply for title badges.

The further you progress in magic, the harder it becomes. She had previously thought that she hadn't wasted her time over the years and that getting three title badges was pretty good.

Looking at the female students today, it's not bad that Moran got sixteen, but Vasita and Sylph also got three title badges each!
This made her, the senior student, seem rather ignorant and incompetent.

"Don't call me 'senior sister,' I don't deserve it!"

Lilith said, "Just call me Lilith."

That way she'll feel a little better.

"Let's hurry up and go back!"

Lilith swiftly lit a torch and jumped into the dark lake.

Moran and the others quickly followed.

When they arrived at the edge of Chunjian Island, they found that Lilith had disappeared.

"Could it be that the senior student suffered a setback and went back to camp to isolate herself?" Vasida said.

Sylph sighed, "Senior must have forgotten Moran's learning speed after graduating a year ago, which is why she reacted so strongly."

Unlike them, they've already gotten used to it.

“Let’s go back and take a look!” Moran said.

The three of them quickly ran back to the camp.

A campfire had been lit in the camp, and Lilith sat quietly in front of it, holding the Book of Witches and reading it intently.

“I understand!” Vasita said, “This is revenge learning after being provoked by Moran.”

Sylph nodded in agreement: "Usually, they can't keep it up for more than a few days, unless Moran is always there to learn from them."

Moran glanced at the two of them and said meaningfully:

"I just copied down a lot of interesting books this time, so let's read them now and help you recall the feeling of studying hard."

"No, no, no! Please don't!" Vasita quickly refused, "We're setting off at dawn, everyone should get some rest and be fully refreshed!"

“Yes!” Although Sylph had copied many books these past few days, she didn’t want to read them right away!

But if Moran and Lilith are both watching, she probably won't be able to sleep either.

She slammed the witch's book shut in front of Lilith: "Senior! It's late, get some rest! You can read it again tomorrow!"

Before Lilith could resist, Sylph and Vasita pushed her back into the tent.

We also put out the campfire.

"Molan, you haven't been getting enough rest these past few days, have you? Go back and get some rest!"

After pushing Moran back into the tent, Vasita and Sylph breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their respective tents. After a quick clean-up, they went straight to sleep.

They really haven't had a good rest these past few days at the clan castle.

After returning to the tent, Moran first picked up Zhizhi, who was clinging to her leg, and stroked its fur amidst its squeaks of complaint: "Alright, we're back now, aren't we? It's not that we didn't want to take you, it's just that you can't go to the clan meeting anyway."

You've worked hard these past few days guarding the camp with Bi'er and Egg Fried Rice. The wine bamboo by the tent needs a little more encouragement tomorrow; it should be ripe soon. We'll save it all for you to drink then!

Upon hearing the sound of wine bamboo, Zhizhi quieted down and slurped its saliva.

After calming Zizi down, Moran sat on the sofa and took out the Book of Witches.

What she just said wasn't entirely meant to tease Vasita and Sylph.

Having copied so many books, she really wanted to read them right away.

These past few days at the main castle, she's been sitting on a flying carpet that's convenient for resting, and it's been quite comfortable.

Moreover, after learning the "Sky Meditation Method," Moran discovered that he could replace sleep with meditation, just like the sorcerer.

Meditation can restore and train mental strength, and it also has the same restorative effect on physical energy.

Meditation is not very effective in terms of physical exertion.

However, Moran's magic level is already at its peak. Even if a witch's and sorceress's abilities are manifested in magic rather than in their physical body, the increase in magic power will subtly enhance their physical fitness. That's why witches and sorceresses gradually reduce their sleep time after adulthood.

Moreover, she has been using Vasida's {Dietary Supplements and Strengthening Cards} to enhance her body, making her physical condition exceptional.

Even if you don't sleep for several days, the physical exertion is not significant.

These days, when she gets tired, she spreads out the natural map of Earth in her mind, meditates for a few minutes, and her energy is restored.

So Moran is still in good spirits and can stay up late reading without any problem.

As dawn approaches, a little meditation will make all the fatigue disappear.

As dawn broke, Moran was the first to leave her tent to encourage the growth of the wine bamboo.

The wine bamboo, which was already close to maturity, immediately entered maturity after she used a growth-inducing technique and a different kind of magic, emitting a strong wine aroma.

"Squeak!" A round little head popped out of the tent window and jumped into the planting pot.

Moran directed the witches' tools to cut a section of bamboo and gave it to Zizi: "Drink this!"

Zizi hugged the bamboo tube and leaned against the planting pot, happily drinking from it.

"It smells so good!" Vasita came out after smelling the aroma, asked for a bottle of wine to drink, and sobered herself up: "It's so much more comfortable to sleep in the tent! The tables and chairs at the tribal gathering are too hard!"

Sylph transformed the planting pots next to her tent back into cards one by one and put them back into her spatial card: "Why hasn't Senior Lilith gotten up yet?"

"Get up! Get up!" Lilith came out yawning, with light dark circles under her eyes.

"Lilith, did you read a book after you went back to your tent last night?" Vasita asked.

Lilith's eyes darted around, and she gave a soft "Mmm": "I wanted to sleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep!"

“You could try meditation!” Moran said. “Have you forgotten? Doesn’t the ‘Sky Meditation Method’ say that meditation can restore energy and can, to some extent, replace sleep?”

Even though Lilith and the others could only construct simple meditation diagrams with their mental energy, it still had a strong restorative effect on their energy.

"Really?" Lilith immediately went back into the tent, lay down, and tried it out.

Half an hour later, when she came out again, she had already regained her radiant appearance.

Vasita and Sylph looked at Moran: "Since you know so much about this, have you been using meditation to replace sleep for a long time?"
