The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 80 Sources of Funding for the Clan Association
During a basic magic theory class, Amisha was somewhat surprised to see that the little witches all had the same dark circles under their eyes.

While previous first-year witches also struggled with their first paper assignments, it's quite rare to see one this difficult.

After all, this paper has been assigned for a whole week.

Whether it's well-written or not, there's always enough time to finish it.

This year's little witches have always been very reliable. Even if there were some unexpected events this time, they will be able to learn from them next time.

Therefore, Amisha saw it but pretended not to see it.

Only through trial and error can one truly develop the ability to solve problems independently.

"Has everyone finished the paper assignment I gave last Monday? Please hand it in so I can take a look!"

The little witches handed in their papers one by one.

Excitement and anticipation shone through his tired eyes.

Amisha was increasingly surprised as she read the papers.

This class should be a paper review class.

By presenting commentary, I taught them how to extract information from books.

As a result, none of the little witches' papers had any problems.

Each article clearly explains the application of magic to the energy of different races.

And it's clearly not copied.

Although the content is largely the same, and even some sentences are identical.

But having taught basic magic theory for so many years, she could tell at a glance that those identical phrases were copied from reference books.

If there's anything wrong with this paper, it's that the handwriting looks rather messy, as if it was written in a hurry.

But this lesson is about teaching methods for filtering information, not calligraphy practice.

It seems today's lesson content needs to be changed:

"The papers are all well-written..."

Little witches: (><)
"...Could you tell me how you all wrote them?"

Amisha needs to find out just how far the little witches have come up with their skills.

The little witches all raised their hands.

What they talked about and what they wrote were largely the same.

It turns out that I learned and wrote it on the way to the castle in the morning.

The one who summarized this set of reading and writing methods is the only little witch without dark circles under her eyes.

She had taken so many theoretical classes, yet she had never thought of these quick reading tips for keywords and key sentences.

Generally, the teaching method is simply to guide young witches to read with questions in mind.

It must be said that Moran's method is more organized and clear, and clarity means it is easier to imitate and learn.

"Moran! Could you summarize the reading skills you taught the little witches today into a book? The clan council can assess its value, and it can be included in the academy library. You'll receive a gold coin reward after that." Amisha walked up to Moran.

"That's perfect!" Moran said without hesitation.

To this day, she has only ever seen gold coins in the Little Witches series.

"If you want to improve the little witches' reading ability, I have some educational and practice programs that I can summarize together."

“Good!” Amisha said, “No matter what the knowledge is, as long as it has value, the clan will reward us for sharing it with the library.” Moran suddenly remembered a question that had troubled her for a long time, and now that she had the chance, she couldn’t help but ask:

"Dean, the clan council and the academy raise little witches to adulthood and even give the witch mothers a birth reward, but they never ask for anything in return."

Raising and educating a little witch requires funds, right? Where do these funds come from?

"Yes! Where did it come from?"

Most of the other little witches hadn't thought about this question yet, but they couldn't help but become curious.

"With such a continuous outflow of funds and no inflow, won't the clan go bankrupt?"

"The academy won't even give us food. Is it because they're too poor?"

……

Amisha smiled: "More than 80% of the operating funds for the clan council and the academy come from the witches' legacy."

"heritage?"

Moran wondered if the witch clan might have some kind of industry or special magical knowledge that required payment to obtain in order to make a profit.

But I never thought it would be a legacy.

"That's right, it's an inheritance. Long ago, when witches reached the end of their lives, they would entrust the knowledge and wealth they had accumulated throughout their lives to the next witch."

The wilderness belongs to witches and sorceresses. After the clan council and academy provide resources for the growth and education of underage witches, many witches will leave their inheritance to the clan council to raise young witches and maintain the development of the witch clan.

A witch's wealth accumulated over hundreds of years could easily support dozens or even hundreds of young witches.

"So you don't need to worry about the clan going bankrupt. The clan is much richer than you think. The reason we don't provide you with three meals a day is not because we are poor, but simply so that you can learn cooking magic properly," Amisha said.

Moran couldn't help but wonder what she would do with her assets if her life came to an end one day.
Other witches don't need to inherit wealth to become rich overnight.

Only the clan that once raised her continues to protect and nurture each new generation of young witches.

Leaving the property to the clan association is indeed the best option.

Even though the clan council never asks the witches to give back to the clan, the witches will always repay the clan council at the last moment.

"Dean, I am willing to organize the knowledge I possess and share it with the Witch Library, without requiring any reward," Moran said solemnly.

She also benefited from the valuable knowledge left by her witch predecessors, and it is only right that she leave her own knowledge to benefit future generations.

"No need. Aside from the inheritance, the clan won't take anything from the witch for free."

Regarding rewards for sharing knowledge, the clan has its own set of reward rules, which are intended to encourage everyone to research and learn, and enrich the witch's heritage.

The clan is certainly not short of money! They don't need a little witch like you, not even an adult yet, to selflessly dedicate yourself.

Amisha refused without hesitation:
"Even if you don't have a single gold coin in your pocket, seize every opportunity to acquire resources! If you want to give, it's not too late to do so when your life comes to an end."

"..." Moran felt as if an arrow had struck his chest.

She really didn't have a single gold coin in her pocket.

Just how substantial was the inheritance donated by the witches of the past? The clan is so generous!
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic! For the rest of this class, everyone, summarize the reading skills that Moran taught you today, write them into a paper, and hand it in to me at the end of class."

"If you finish this in class, there won't be any extra homework today." Amisha returned to the podium.

Upon hearing that there was no homework, the little witches were overjoyed and immediately began writing their summary papers.

The witch history assignment due tomorrow is also a summary paper. Moran helped me recall some points, so I just need to integrate them and it's relatively easy to write.

Maybe I can get a good night's sleep tonight!
