The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 72 Finally, it's the weekend!

"Dean! My initial infection is complete!"

After a week of cooking magic classes, Moran finally managed to immerse herself in everything in the portable kitchen during Friday afternoon's class.

At this time, while the other little witches were still practicing making white bread, Ais had only managed to take over a small portion of the mobile kitchen.

Amisha looked at Moran's mobile kitchen.

From pots and pans to the stove, everything was imbued with an energy glow, though the glow was still faint, it was definitely there.

"Great! We can move on to the next step now."

Holding a magic wand, choose a spot with a good view so you can see the entire cooking process, then activate your magic to command the items in the kitchen to move.

Just like when you practice cooking, start by making dark bread.

Command one item at a time, follow the production steps slowly, and don't rush.

The magical instructions in your mind should be clear and unwavering, as if you were personally standing there cooking.

There's no special trick to this step; you just need to practice more.

Moran gave it a try, following Ms. Amisha's instructions.

Having learned the Clear Spring spell on her own last night, she already had some understanding of how to issue clear magical commands.

Coupled with Lilith's previous demonstration, she became even more cautious.

She took a few steps back, looked at the flour sack on the corner of the table, and slightly activated a wisp of magic. The flour sack rose up shakily and floated towards the cutting board.

It floated for less than two seconds before the bag fell onto the table with a thud.

Moran: "..."

It's quite expected.

Luckily the bag was tied tightly, otherwise it would have been a problem.

Even just using magic to get the flour sack to the cutting board took Moran several attempts before she finally got it to the designated spot.

As the flour sack rose and fell, Moran felt as if her culinary magic was being manipulated by a cripple with no muscle strength.

Once the flour bag was placed on the cutting board, the next step could have been carried out.

But Moran was worried that she wasn't skilled enough and might drop the spoon while directing the scooping of flour.

That would be a problem if flour got everywhere.

So Moran chose to continue practicing holding the flour sack.

She used magic to move the flour sack from one place to another, practicing back and forth for half a lesson.

They didn't stop until they could handle the flour bag steadily.

The second step, opening the flour bag, presents another new challenge.

This bag of flour ultimately couldn't escape the fate of spilling on the ground.

Fortunately, the dean used a cleaning spell to help her remove the flour; otherwise, she wouldn't have had enough time to clean the kitchen for the rest of the class.

We practiced for two hours, but unexpected things kept happening, and by the end of class we hadn't even managed to scoop out any flour.

"Is it that difficult?" Ais asked her curiously, "What does it feel like to use cooking magic?"

"This is too difficult. For the first time, I feel that magic is not as useful as my two hands," Moran sighed.

Learning cooking magic is much more difficult than cooking itself.

She doesn't know how long she'll need to practice before she can be like Shana's mother, able to do other things while simultaneously using cooking magic to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Moran didn't dare to practice extra on her own in private.

She made a mess while practicing cooking magic, and Ms. Amisha had to clean up the mess for her.

After class, just cleaning up the mess she made of the ingredients takes who knows how much time. We can only wait for the next cooking magic class.

The slow pace of learning cooking magic didn't stop the little witches from cheering for the upcoming weekend.

Everyone clearly felt that the workload this week was much heavier. For five whole days, we were busy going to class, and we often felt that there wasn't enough time. There were many things we wanted to do but didn't have time to do.

After a week of hard work and six papers to write, the two days of free time without classes felt especially precious.

"Finally, I have time to work on creating a new book of witches!"

"I can finally take a couple of days off. The mountains around the academy are just too hard to climb!"

"I'm going to pick out some good ingredients and have a nice meal to treat myself!"

"I just want to go back to bed!"

"Let's go!"

……

Looking at the excited little witches, Moran felt as if she had returned to her school days on Earth.

Even she couldn't help but give a small cheer for the upcoming weekend.

"Moran! What are your plans for the weekend?" Vasida asked.

"Finish today's assigned paper, practice the Clear Spring spell, and finish reading 'What Exactly is Magic,' 'The History of Witches,' 'The Changing Times of the Continent of Valen,' and 'The Tinkling of the Clear Spring.' If I have any free time, I'd like to read 'Ignition, Lighting, and Water Making'... Oh, and Vasita, Sylph, remember to come to my house for dinner Sunday night! I messed up last week, so I won't use magic this week! I'll treat you to some food from my hometown in my past life."

When asked about her weekend plans, Moran couldn't help but smile knowingly.

I finally have time to read the books I want to read, and I can even share the delicious food from my past life with the little witches. It's just too wonderful!

"Great! We absolutely must finish the Book of Witches this weekend!"

Vasita and Sylph have already agreed to set off for the alchemy classroom at the academy castle at 6:30 tomorrow morning.

To have more time to read, Moran immediately started writing her paper for the Continental History course after returning to her dormitory.

This course, as its textbook titled "The Changing Times of the Continent of Valen," tells the story of the historical changes of the continent of Valen over tens of thousands of years, from the ancient era and the era of divine descent to the current magical era.

Today's lesson covered the early stages of the ancient era.

At that time, humans were the only intelligent race on the continent of Valen.

Angels, demons, and dragons have not yet appeared.

The world was still dominated by plants and animals, and humans gathered in tribes to struggle for survival.

At that time, witches with special abilities were highly respected shamans in the tribe, protecting the ordinary humans in the tribe.

I don't know how witches later became something that everyone hated.

Moran recalled the questions asked in class and quickly wrote them down on the parchment.

With her thesis finished, this weekend was entirely hers.

Do whatever you want.

During class today, she was very curious about what happened after the ancient era.

With time still available after finishing my thesis, I simply flipped to Chapter Two of "The Changing Times of the Continent of Valen" in the Book of Witches and continued reading.

The book is very brief and short, only recording some important historical events, which can be considered as giving the little witch a general understanding of the past of the continent of Valen.

Of the three recorded eras, the Ancient Era is the shortest, consisting of only three short chapters, which Moran finished reading in no time.

This part is nothing special; it's similar to the ancient times of Earth.

Then came the era of divine descent, in which various races emerged.
