The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 62 Cooking Magic Class

The dormitory area is much closer to the planting area, and the road is easier to walk, so the little witches left half an hour earlier.

Continuing the tradition from when they descended the mountain at noon, the little witches carried the witch's book in their left hand and parchment in their right.

The little witches were very excited for their first magic class.

"Finally, I can learn magic! My wand is itching to get started!"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh whoosh~ Let the ingredients move!"

"Hahaha! I've learned the magic of cooking, now I can eat gourmet meals every day!"

……

“Even though it’s magic class next, let’s all review the textbook! That way we’ll be prepared if Ms. Amisha asks us any more questions!” Cheryl said.

The little witches were still shaken by what happened in the theory class.

Reminded by Cheryl, they hastily began reading the textbook "Cooking Magic from Scratch" on the way.

Moran shook her head and chuckled.

The cooking magic class textbook is designed for little witches who know nothing about cooking or cooking magic. It is easy to understand and much easier to comprehend than the textbooks for theoretical classes.

Ms. Amisa probably won't ask questions like she does in theory classes anymore.

However... it's always good to preview before class, so Moran didn't stop her.

Sure enough, after this class, Ms. Amisha did not have them read the textbook first.

“Those with basic cooking skills, who can make bread, soup, and sizzling steak, sit at the front, while the other little witches can sit wherever they like.”

The cooking classroom is right next to the ingredient distribution area, and it has fifty workbenches similar to those in a dormitory kitchen.

However, after Ms. Amisa arrived, only twenty-seven kitchen worktops remained scattered throughout the classroom.

This time, Moran and Ais were sitting at the front control panel.

Sylph and Vasita were a little behind them.

After everyone was in their places, Ms. Amisa began to assign tasks:

"All little witches, put down your wands first."

Don't fantasize that you can just wave your wand and the food will be ready. The foundation of cooking magic is cooking itself; there are no shortcuts!

First, follow the instructions in the textbook and try to make black bread yourself without using magic.

The production method is clearly explained in the textbook, and there are also illustrations.

If you encounter a problem, first look at the textbook. If you can't find it in the textbook, raise your hand and ask me!
I will be circulating in the classroom providing guidance, so you can do it independently.

Fortunately, the little witches had done some pre-reading; the first chapter of the textbook was about how to make black bread, and they had already looked at it beforehand.

Following the textbook, I began to try it out.

After arranging things for the others, Ms. Amisa came to Moran and Ais and said:
"Since you two have some cooking experience, why don't you make one of each of the dishes in the textbook and let me see it?"

Having been taught by Senior Lilith that cooking magic is not the same as cooking, Moran nodded and began to think about how to do it faster.

But Ais didn't know that. She said, "Dean, the things in this book are too simple for Moran and me. Why don't we just use the 'Gourmet Encyclopedia of Valen Continent' to learn cooking magic?"

“No. You are far from fully mastering the content of the textbook!” Amisha said.

"How is that possible! I just looked at the textbook for the cooking magic class, and it's not difficult at all." Ais was still puzzled.

"Moran, what do you think?" Amisha turned to look at a little witch who was already picking out ingredients.

“I have no objection,” Moran said.

“Moran…”

“Ais, cooking and cooking magic are very different. I’ve tried it, and it’s very difficult to master. It’s best to start with the simplest dishes,” Moran said.

"Okay!" Although she still didn't quite understand, Ais felt that Moran's cooking skills were better than hers.

If Moran thinks so, then it might not be unfounded. Amisha nodded and went to check on the other little witches.

Moran took the opportunity to tell Ais about the disastrous results of her unauthorized attempt over the weekend:
"Isn't your mother a food witch? When she learns a new dish, does she not use cooking magic right away?"

Ais shook her head: "I always thought it was because she enjoyed cooking herself."

Who told her that her mother was a famous food witch when she was born?

She had no idea that this was how cooking magic was when you first started learning it.

Mom kept it a secret for far too long!
Of course, it's also her fault for never asking!

While the headmaster wasn't looking, Ais secretly tried to pick up two tomatoes at once with her wand.

Without a doubt, it failed.

Now she was completely obedient and did exactly as the dean instructed.

An hour and a half passed.

The other little witches, in a flurry of activity, made black bread under Ms. Amisha's guidance, though their colors varied and their shapes differed greatly.

Moran and Ais then cooked all the dishes in the textbook.

"Alright! The last half hour is tasting time. Try what you've made!"

After Amisha finished speaking, she also picked up her knife and fork and began to taste it.

All the little witches served her a small portion of their cooking.

The little witches were quite pleased with their creation until they actually took a bite.

"Ouch! It's so hard, I can't bite it, I can't bite it at all!"

"Is this a stone or bread?!"

"Huh! It looks like it's still alive inside!"

……

Looking at Ms. Amisha, who remained unfazed as she tasted the students' work, the little witches felt a toothache.

The headmaster of the Cooking Magic class is having a tough time!

After tasting everything the little witch made, Amisa commented:
"Moran and Ais, your basic cooking skills have passed the test. You can start learning cooking magic tomorrow."

Moran and Ais were overjoyed.

So the dean was testing their cooking skills!
The other little witches couldn't help but feel nervous; having tasted the black bread they had made themselves, they really lacked confidence.

“The other little witches, continue making black bread in the next class, until you do it well and are skilled at it!” Amisha said.

"Dean, when can we learn cooking magic?" the little witches asked.

"Once you can cook all the dishes in the textbook as well as Moran and Ais, that will be fine."

Amisha left behind a cruel answer and then departed.

The little witches flipped through the book and counted:

"Black bread, white bread, vegetable soup, mushroom soup, potato soup, steak, lamb chops... Good heavens! There's so much more!"

"Our black bread today is indeed not satisfactory. The book says that black bread is a food eaten by poor people in the wilderness, and it will become very hard after it is cooled, but the one we made is obviously too hard."

"Cooking Magic Class, only cooking, no magic."

"No, it's not that we only know cooking, but Moran and Ais still have magic!"

……

The first-grade witches arrived full of enthusiasm for their first magic practice class, only to leave disappointed.
