The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 79 The Witches' Mathematics
"Clap clap clap!"

"Well said! If we had Moran back then, we wouldn't have been tormented by papers for so long!"

In the sky, the female students who had been drawn to Moran's lecture felt greatly benefited and couldn't help but applaud her.

Even a second-grade witch who still struggles with writing papers pulled out paper and pen to take notes on the spot.

The reading comprehension and test-taking skills they had developed under the pressure of exam-oriented education were invaluable to them.

Moran suddenly became worried about the educational level of the little witches.

The students' text comprehension and reading skills demonstrate that the college is taking their education seriously.

But what about their arithmetic skills?

It seems the college doesn't offer math classes!
The only math-related content in the Little Witches series is probably just numbers!

The little witches are born knowing the meaning of each witch's numeral.

But knowing 12345 doesn't mean they can do arithmetic!

Wait a minute, when she was selling cards before, did the little witches really understand what interest and installment payments were?
She couldn't help but ask Vasita and Sylph, who had finished revising the paper first:

"If I have a card that costs 100 Mana for a single use, and you need to pay in four installments, how many Mana would I need to pay per installment on average?"

"Moran, have you developed a new card? What card?" Vasida asked.

Sylph looked at her with curiosity as well.

"..." Moran shook his head: "Just help me calculate how much mana I need to pay per installment on average."

Vasita and Sylph: (o°ω°o)
Moran took a deep breath: "Don't you guys know how to do math?"

Vasita and Sylph felt a little guilty for some reason, but then they thought:
"Isn't it normal that you can't calculate it? What little witch would know how to calculate this? Isn't it all written in the contract? Just follow that!"

Moran looked at the other little witches.

The little witches, who had been eavesdropping, lowered their heads even further. Ignore them; they were still working on their papers.

The older little witch in the sky silently turned her broom and flew away in a flash.

Moran closed his eyes. He had thought he was being very successful at selling cards!
As a result, the customers didn't even understand the installment plan, which explains why they all chose the installment method with the repayment details specified in her contract.

I really don't know whether to say they're carefree or that they trust her too much.

I absolutely have to figure out the little witches' math skills today!
"Let me ask you again, you have 100 mana magic power, and you've spent 25 mana. How much do you have left?"

"75!" the little witches answered instantly.

"If you gain 2 Mana Magic points per day, how much Mana Magic points will you gain in a month?"

"2, 4, 6...60 Mana!"

……

"If the maximum mana you can fully utilize when casting the Clear Spring spell is 1 Mana, and your total mana is 50 Mana, what is the level of your Clear Spring spell?"

“(`)”

"Is this something we should know?"

The little witches' eyes had turned into mosquito coils.

"Shouldn't you know this? If you can't even calculate percentages, how would you know your magic level?"

Moran didn't understand, and the little witches understood even less:

"Of course I don't know! Isn't it all found out when I took the witch professional level certificate exam at the clan council?"

Moran suddenly remembered that the little witches used to judge their magical power by the brightness of the energy aura.

If we don't even know the exact value of the total amount of magic power, how are we supposed to calculate the ratio?
She asked several more math questions and then discovered that the little witches had no problems with addition and subtraction.

They could even be described as being extremely skilled at it.

They had an excellent understanding of the quantities each number represented. Whether it was a decimal or an integer, they calculated all additions and subtractions with remarkable accuracy.

But that's about it. He can't even do multiplication or division, let alone percentages or interest.

They calculated by adding and subtracting, even adding and subtracting one by one.

Moran was very worried about this.

With such poor math skills, won't I get scammed in the future?

"Dean, Dean! Does our college offer math classes?"

What is a math class?

Moran: "..."

She was thinking of asking the headmaster the questions she had just asked the little witches.

With so many little witches around, she held back and only explained the meaning of the mathematics.

"What you're talking about, only human mages, goblins, and a few demons would study in depth! Our witches' average arithmetic level is already quite good on the continent of Valen, so we don't have to worry about being deceived except when we encounter mages, goblins, or demons!"

Moran: "!!!"

Are these witches' math skills actually considered good?
Is mathematics in the Valencian continent so outdated?
No wonder Lilith always says she's even more cunning than a goblin.

Everyone here is so bad at math, they can't even do basic math! How can they possibly be cunning?

She felt a little more at ease.

At least this way, the little witches won't get scammed everywhere.

After all, many people on the continent of Valen can't even do simple addition and subtraction!
"But you're right. Now your character card can monitor your magic power in real time. If the little witches can calculate the percentage of magic power, they can more easily and accurately know their magic level."

I will discuss this with the other Amishas.

Moran's eyes lit up: "If needed, I can provide introductory math books!"

There's already a version in Blue Star's memory; we can just adapt it to suit the little witches.

Elementary school level math is enough for the little witches to roam freely in the world of Valen.

Was mathematics common in your previous life's world?

"Of course! A 12-year-old's math knowledge is probably enough to make him a force to be reckoned with in the world of Valen!"

……

The little witches listened to Moran and the voice of the headmaster who appeared out of nowhere singing in unison, their expressions gradually turning to terror.

Was Moran's previous life in a world where everyone was a goblin?
Even goblins aren't this outrageous!

Besides, they're not goblins!

Mathematics doesn't sound like a fun subject, and Moran's questions kept everyone silent!

Unfortunately, they dared not speak out against their anger.

Moran, who possesses the skills of cards and academic papers, is their bread and butter; they are not to be trifled with.

At this point, each little witch had mastered the angels' prayer skills without any instruction.

Let's pray that the other Amisha ladies don't agree to start math classes!
Vasita spotted the spire of the castle's clock tower and immediately saw her savior: "Moran! Class is about to start! Let's hurry to the classroom!"

The other little witches nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! Our papers are almost finished!"

Forget about math, it sounds terrifying to witches!
"Dean, I have some more thoughts. Let's discuss them in detail after class." Moran was still eager to continue, but class was indeed about to start.

The Ms. Amisa who is talking to her about math teaching now is not the same one who will be teaching them the basics of magic later.

Their memories are not shared at all times.
