The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 55 A Busy Saturday

The little witches also wanted the little handbag Moran mentioned, but... none of them knew how to sew.

"It's okay, it's just a small crossbody bag, it's very simple, I'll teach you! It can be done in a few hours."

Moran said, "Isn't there a book called 'Learn the Magic of Sewing from Scratch' on the must-read list? I guess sewing, like cooking, is something you have to learn beforehand, so it's good to get a feel for it!"

"This will take up too much of your time. We can do it after we learn the sewing magic."

The little witches were reluctant to bother her again unless absolutely necessary.

Sewing and cooking are not the same.

If they don't learn to cook, they'll have to eat breadfruit every day, which is too much of a hardship.

It doesn't matter if I don't learn sewing or have a small handbag.

You can hold the wand in your hand, or tie it to your waist and put it in your pocket.

Witches are more talented than sorceresses, but they also have many times more to learn and their time is much more precious.

Moran had no choice but to go to the castle warehouse to select the materials himself.

That very night, I finished making a large, soft leather shoulder bag with several pockets.

It can not only hold magic wands, but also store a lot of other things.

The handbag looked a little big on her, but it was big enough to hold everything.

After making her shoulder bag, Moran opened the "New Student Guide".

This booklet is different from the books in the library; the maps and timetables inside cannot be copied or copied. The whole book must be stored in the Book of Witches.

So now, "The Newcomer's Guide" has also become a page in her witch's book.

Today is Friday, and the schedule for next week will be updated tonight. She needs to check what classes are available next week.

The course schedule is indeed different there.

The mornings are all theoretical classes.

Monday and Wednesday mornings are dedicated to "Basic Theory of Magic," using the textbook "What Exactly is Magic?"

Tuesday and Thursday mornings are dedicated to "The History of Witches," and the textbook is "The History of Witches."

Friday mornings are dedicated to "World History," with the textbook being "The Changing Times of the Valennes Continent."

The afternoon was all practical magic classes.

There is only one course—"Cooking Magic," and the textbook is the book "Learn Cooking Magic from Zero."

The morning theory classes are held in the castle, while the afternoon classes are held in the cooking classroom next to the ingredient distribution area.

Furthermore, afternoon classes all start at 4 PM, extending the lunch break.

That means next week they'll have to climb the mountain to the castle in the morning, come back down at noon, and go to the food distribution center for class in the afternoon.

The commute time to class is getting longer and longer.

However, the cooking magic class runs from four to six o'clock, so the food made by then will probably be enough for dinner.

Moran shook his head. It seemed that the magic courses at the academy were taught one by one, rather than learning a little bit of this today and a little bit of that tomorrow, progressing simultaneously.

It's really inconvenient to always rely on the castle clock tower's chimes to estimate the time.

Moreover, the bell only chimes during the day.

Moran then used the Book of Cards to make himself a women's mechanical watch.

Cards made using Blue Star Craft combined with the Valen time calculation method have very low production costs.

Camoran no longer had the intention to specifically sell this watch.

Even with five times the profit, you can't sell many Mana. Senior Lilith already has a magic pocket watch, which she supposedly made by studying second-year alchemy in advance.

In other words, starting from the second grade, everyone will be able to make their own portable timekeeping devices.

Instead of wasting time promoting trading cards, you'd be better off reading more books.

With enough knowledge accumulated, you can create even better cards and reap greater profits. As for these watch cards, you can just sell them as opportunities arise.

Moran took the watch out of the card, put it on his wrist, and looked at the dial; it was eleven or forty.

Thank goodness she made a watch, otherwise she was planning to read "The Birth of a Beautiful Cover" a little longer before going to sleep, and might have accidentally missed midnight again.

Her current mana reserves are 969 Mana. Her total mana increased by 1 point today, and now it is 990 Mana.

The card sale revenue of 591 Mana will arrive after midnight, and this amount will be directly deposited into the Card Book.

I'll leave half of my mana, add 474 mana to the Book of Cards, and use the remaining 495 to maximize the mana I can recover tomorrow.

As soon as midnight struck, Moran glanced at the two cards.

{Character Card - Intermediate}
[Magic Power: 495/990 Mana]

{Book of Cards}
[Stored Energy: 1272 Mana Magic]

This way, the magic of natural regeneration won't be wasted.

Moran fell asleep peacefully.

When the clock struck six in the morning, she was still a little sleepy, but she still grabbed her wake-up tool, the "breadfruit," from beside her bed and took a small bite.

Then he immediately woke up and jumped out of bed.

It's absolutely impossible to sleep until you naturally wake up.

The clock tower's clocks work on weekends, so how can the little witch, who has so much to do, sleep in?

Moran dragged out the laundry basket.

Inside was a week's worth of her dirty clothes.

I usually leave for class early and come back late, and I'm lucky if I can wash my underwear and socks when I get back.

There's simply no time or energy for anything else.

Thanks to her getting a few more school uniforms later, she has clothes to wear every day now.

Unfortunately, the school robes cannot be claimed indefinitely; each little witch can only receive a maximum of seven sets at a time, just enough for one week.

Moran knew without asking Ms. Amisa why: it was to increase everyone's demand for "cleaning magic," so that they would study it more diligently.

Moran knew this, but she still didn't want to wash by hand.

The Book of Cards contains the magic of thousands of Mana; a Washing Machine card is definitely worth getting.

If she can't sell it to other little witches, it will save her time!
Even with a washing machine, Moran still has a strong motivation to learn cleaning magic.

While the washing machine was washing clothes, Moran squeezed a bottle of bread juice and made honey bread juice.

The leftover fruit pulp wasn't wasted; it was made into fruit cake.

The juice was put into a water bag, and the fruit cakes were wrapped in oil paper and put into a shoulder bag.

The witch's book and wand were also put in.

After hanging the washed clothes to dry in the yard, Moran slung her handbag over her shoulder and went out.

Today, she was all alone on the mountain path leading to the academy castle.

She went to the alchemy classroom in the West Tower and began sketching the cover design for her witch's book.

She wanted to create a witch's book in the same style as the Book of Cards.

However, the card slots in the Book of Cards don't need them, so Moran plans to add a few more purple gems and use gold engraving to fill in the gaps.

After completing the design drawings, Moran consulted the production methods of the corresponding decorative elements in "The Birth of a Beautiful Cover" to understand the production process and the materials needed. Then, she took the list to the materials warehouse next to the classroom.

The warehouse in the West Tower is said to be a warehouse for low-level magical materials, but it also contains some ordinary metal and ore materials.

After all, witches can use magic to transform ordinary materials into magical materials.
