The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 74 Borrowing the Water Tower

The first-year witch lives in dormitories 61 to 88.

Moran stopped at the door of dormitory number 61 and called out in a deep voice, "Ais! Ais! Are you there?"

"She's here!" The dormitory door opened, and Ais, wearing an apron and holding a bloodstained kitchen knife, came out.

"Ais! May I borrow your backyard water tower to practice my Clear Spring spell?" Moran asked.

"Huh?" Ais was a little confused: "It's possible, but do I need a water tower to practice the Clear Spring Technique?"

"The spring water created by the Clear Spring spell is real water. If we don't collect it, it will flow everywhere and be wasted. My water tower is already full, so I came to find you!"

As Moran was speaking, she saw Alba from the dormitory next door come out and said to her, "Alba, can I borrow your water tower in the yard to practice the Clear Spring spell later?"

"Such a good thing?" Alba was still carrying a bucket!

The water in her water tower had run dry.

Cheryl, from the yard next to Alba's, came out when she heard the noise: "Do you need mine?"

"Yes, yes! Keep all your water towers for me!" Moran said.

Last night, she only used the newly received magic from selling cards to charge the Book of Cards, without touching her own magic.

It still has a full 972 Mana magic power.

I wanted to practice my magic more today.

She started with the water tower in Ais's yard, constantly sensing the output of magic and the size of the spring as she cast spells, thus improving her proficiency with the Clear Spring spell.

The poem "Clear Spring Tinkling" is right; repetitive spellcasting training is indeed useful.

After the water from the twenty-five water towers was poured down, Moran clearly felt that his spellcasting state had become more stable.

Sometimes, even a slight distraction won't immediately cause the magic to fail.

Furthermore, the maximum magical power she could mobilize and fully utilize for casting the Clear Spring spell had slightly increased, from approximately 2 Mana to nearly 2.5 Mana.

After practicing for so long and filling so many water towers, she only consumed a little over sixty mana of magic power.

She still has plenty of magic, but unfortunately there aren't enough water towers for her to practice in.

She was afraid of flooding the dormitory if she practiced there, and she was afraid of killing the breadfruit trees if she practiced in the breadfruit grove. Other places either had plants or roads.

There are ditches and streams in the planting area, but they are too far away from her.

If you're unsure what to do, consult the dean.

"Dean, Dean! Where's the best place to practice the Clear Spring Technique recently?"

"well!"

"That's right! The well! Thank you, Dean!"

Moran ran to the well.

She ran into a second-year student who lived in the dormitory by the well and was planting vegetables in the yard. She greeted her, "Good morning, Senior Renee!"

"It's Moran!" Renee grabbed a large tomato from the pile, wiped it with her sleeve, and handed it to her: "Try it! I grew it myself!"

"Thank you, senior!" Moran took the tomato and took a big bite: "Delicious~"

"Haha! Learn planting magic well, growing vegetables is super easy!" Renee didn't forget to recommend her favorite magic.

She is a complete green witch, having made up her mind about her path since first grade.

"Are you here to fetch water? Why didn't you bring a bucket?"

“No! I came here to practice the Clear Spring Technique. I don’t want the water to flow everywhere, and I don’t want to go too far. This is the perfect place,” Moran said.

"You've already mastered the Clear Spring Spell? No wonder you're a witch!" Renee praised her with a smile, then said seriously, "The well is indeed a suitable place to practice the Clear Spring Spell. Moran, do you know why the water in this well never seems to run out?" "Isn't it because there's groundwater?" Moran said.

“Of course not.” Renee shook her head. “It’s because all the little witches practice their Spring Water spells by the well!”

"Oh, I see!" Moran suddenly realized.

Renee, who had been spouting nonsense, looked at her in surprise: "Moran, you really believed that?"

"???" Moran looked at Renee in disbelief: "Senior, are you lying to me?"

"Just kidding! Clear Spring is a life magic. You can practice it in everyday life. When you need water, just cast it. Nobody seriously practices Clear Spring specifically," Renee said.

Moran, who came to practice the Clear Spring Technique with a straight face: "..."

So this is the real Renee!
However, her senior's words did indeed remind her.

The art of clear springs can also be practiced in daily life.

Of course, extra practice by the well is also essential.

Practice spellcasting proficiency and the percentage of maximum magic power mobilized by the well, and practice the micro-management of the Clear Spring Technique in daily life.

She only knows one spell, Clear Spring, so of course she'll use her magic to practice Clear Spring!

Even if it's everyday magic, only by experiencing the learning process of magic and knowing the effects of learning to different levels can she create magic learning cards with a proficiency progress bar!
Seeing that she was still focused on practicing the Clear Spring Technique, Renee decided not to disturb her.

Moran practiced until his magic power was reduced to half before leaving.

It was past noon by then, so she ate some breadfruit and started reading.

Alternating between magic practice and reading is just right!
Because she was thinking about practicing the Clear Spring Technique in her daily life, she first finished reading "The Clear Spring's Tinkling Sound".

The book describes some variations of the Clear Spring Technique, which require more precise execution.

For example, how to make just the right amount of spring water to fill a small container, and how to condense a spring water ball that won't dissipate temporarily.

If she learns this, she can simply place a water cup in the classroom and fill it with spring water whenever she's thirsty.

If handled properly, not a single drop will spill.

After learning how to condense water into various sizes of water droplets, you don't even need a water cup anymore; you can just suck on the small water droplets.

However, to change the form of the Clear Spring Technique as freely as described in the book, the Clear Spring Technique must be practiced to at least an advanced level.

When the Clear Spring Technique is practiced to its peak, it can even directly transform the clear spring into rain or mist.

It's just that this kind of rain and mist doesn't have the various special effects of real rain and mist magic.

After all, the rain effect of the Clear Spring Technique is essentially just a change in the form of water; it is still spring water and will not contain any poison or anything else.

Therefore, it is indeed just a life-skill magic and not applicable to combat.

Even if you create a large amount of water to overwhelm the enemy, there are more suitable spells to replace it.

Because the characteristic of the Clear Spring Technique is that it creates water, and the water created is permanent.

Most other water magic simply creates mimicry water, focusing on the other properties of these different types of water.

After the magic wears off, only a small amount of water will remain at the scene.

She then realized that what Senior Renee meant by practicing in daily life was probably somewhat different from what she had thought.

Her daily practice probably consisted of simply filling the water tower with water.

This is far from enough for Moran.
