The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 44 Infecting Books
The third-year students, after three years of accumulation, have significantly stronger magical power than the first-year students, with most exceeding 50 Mana.

Seeing the numerical value of one's magical power, and knowing how far one is from becoming a novice witch, is an irresistible temptation for all little witches.

After all, they have no access to the witch's books and cannot test their magical power at any time.

Although they could all pay the equivalent of 50 mana in magic power at once, they all chose to pay in five installments because they had magic class today.

Thirty-one third-grade witches brought Moran's magic reserves to 237 Mana.

"What a pity, none of the second-year and fourth- or fifth-year little witches are coming to the castle today!"

Moran said with a hint of regret.

However, I believe the news about the {character cards} will spread soon, and then little witches will definitely come knocking on our door!

Moran, who was the last to leave from the dormitory, became the first to reach the alchemy classroom in the West Tower.

Running around selling products left her drenched in sweat, her hair soaked through, but the results were absolutely worth it!

She did a rough calculation.

At midnight yesterday, her mana reserves were 143, meaning she can naturally recover 143 mana of mana today.

After midnight tonight, the little witches will receive the magic they've paid for the new day.

Ais and Alba each have 2 mana, and the other 53 little witches in the two grades each have 11 mana, for a total of 587 mana of magic power.

With the 143 Mana she naturally recovered today, she not only has enough mana to be fully restored, but she also has extra mana to store in the Book of Cards' Purple Gem.

This is the right way for her, the Card Witch, to restore her magic!
It's much faster than her munching on breadfruit!
Moran ran to the washroom to wash her face and returned to the classroom feeling refreshed.

Amisha, dressed in a black witch's robe, arrived at the classroom and saw that the little witches' energy halos were dimming as they ate breadfruit to restore their magical power.

She felt relieved, not knowing yet what had happened on the way. Needless to say, he must have been practicing magic infiltration that morning!

How many times must one have practiced to use up so much magic power!

I couldn't help but remind everyone: "When you practice, please be a little more restrained and try to maintain your best condition for class!"

Upon hearing this, Moran realized that the Amisha who answered her questions last night, the Amisha who had been watching over the little witches, was not the same Amisha who was giving them lessons.

I have no idea how many Amishas there are.

"Alright! Today we'll move on to the penultimate step in creating the Witch's Book! Magic Infiltration!"

Amisha clapped her hands, signaling them to bring out the books they had made yesterday:
"Use the magic you learned before to infuse the book until, in your energy vision, the book has an energy glow similar in color to your energy aura."

These books are made of the most common materials, so they are easy to dye. Using a magic dye that turns the developing paper green, the dyeing process takes about an hour.

Be careful not to apply too much force, as this may damage the material.

The book's cover, inner pages—every corner must be permeated with the ink.

Only when this book has been imbued with your own magical power will it truly belong to you, and only then will the witch's book accept it!
Let's begin once there are no further questions!

The little witches mastered the magic on the first day, and they've all practiced it to varying degrees over the past few days. Upon hearing this, they all sprang into action.

The magical staining that turns the developing paper green, even after more than ten minutes, doesn't consume 1 Mana of magic.

Even though buying Moran's cards this morning had used up quite a bit, it's still manageable! With the break time included, and ten minutes left before get out of class ended, the last little witch successfully infected her book.

Moran touched the animal skin book in her hand, which only had three inner pages. The feel was no different from before the infection, except that there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Under the energy field of vision, the animal skin book emitted a special colored light, which was not intense, but it was exactly the same as her energy aura.

Guided by Ms. Amisa, they used the witch's book magic and then placed the book in their hands into the witch's book's phantom.

The phantom solidified completely upon contact with the book and fell into their hands.

“The Book of Witches is now complete,” Amisha said. “Now try taking it back and retrieving it, do as I say…”

The little witches discovered that the witch's book magic had become a medium for storing and retrieving the witch's book.

The Book of Witches appears when the spell of the Book of Witches is used.

When used again, the Book of Witches is retracted into the body.

The amount of energy consumed is similar to the magical contamination that turns developing paper green.

However, they were still completely baffled as to how to use the Book of Witches and what was so special about it.

A little witch asked this question, and Ms. Amisha said:
"Every page in the Book of Witches could hold a book."

The higher the level of the witch's spell, the greater the capacity of the witch's book.

The trainee level can add up to 100 inner pages, accommodating the content of 100 books.

The beginner level can hold a maximum of 1000 books, the intermediate level can hold a maximum of 10000 books, and so on.

You can freely change or add to the book's cover and inner pages, as long as the standard is the same as what I taught before—just make sure it's properly soaked.

However, the original cover and inner pages will be damaged once removed, but the book's contents recorded on the pages will remain in the Witch's Book phantom and will be displayed after new blank inner pages are added.

The Book of Witches can only be opened by witches, and its contents can only be seen by the witch herself.

If it is forcibly opened, the container of the Book of Witches will self-destruct.

However, the more books stored, the greater the magical power consumed each time the Witch's Book spell is used to retrieve and return the book.

So much so that many witches would keep the Book of Witches by their side even when they weren't using it, and wouldn't put it away.

Therefore, the Book of Witches is also at risk of being lost.

If the Book of Witches is lost in the future, don't worry, you can use the spell of the Book of Witches to find and recall it.

If the carrier is damaged, a new carrier can be made. The contents of the book are stored in the phantom of the witch's book.

Even in places where paper is unavailable, you can still make a new book of witches using what I taught you yesterday!
The specific techniques for using the Book of Witches, as well as the methods for upgrading the spells in the Book of Witches, are all recorded in the book "Lifelong Learning Companion - The Book of Witches". Read it carefully and you will know!
That concludes the morning classes. get out of class dismissed!

Ms. Amisa spoke very quickly, bombarding the classroom with a barrage of information before leaving precisely at twelve o'clock.

The little witches were still confused.

To be honest, they simply couldn't reconcile the crude, simple bark books, slate books, and animal skin books in their hands with the witch's book that the headmaster spoke of, which could hold hundreds of books.
