The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 81 Copying Permission
The little witches worked frantically, spending the entire class period writing. They not only finished today's summary paper, which the dean approved, but also wrote a little bit of the witch history paper due tomorrow.

When class ended at noon, the gloom of not being able to finish the paper in the morning was swept away.

After class, Moran took the library pass given to her by Ms. Amisha and went to the second-grade library.

Moran wanted to compile the Blue Star reading and mathematical knowledge in her mind into a book, and the dean recommended that she learn the art of transcription.

For this, she was given permission to enter the second-grade library and copy "The Magic of Books".

The method for learning transcription techniques is contained in this book.

The second-grade library looks similar to the first-grade library, but there are more magic books.

Moran found the book "The Magic of Books," placed the pass on it, and the restrictions on copying the book were lifted.

She copied the entire book into her witch's book.

Turn to the section related to transcription, where the effects of each level of transcription and the contract template are displayed.

The apprentice-level transcription technique allows the user to control a quill pen to write down what they think or see, from text to pictures. As long as the idea in their mind or what they see is clear enough, they can copy it one-to-one.

The copying speed is about two to three times faster than the handwriting speed.

Price: 5 Mana for permanent magic power.

The basic transcription technique allows you to control five pens to transcribe text. Simply place the text you want to transcribe nearby, and it will transcribe automatically.

The copying speed is about ten to fifteen times faster than the handwriting speed.

The upgrade costs 10 Mana for permanent magic.

Intermediate transcription skills are the ability to copy the contents of a standard page of paper in one go.

Upgrade price: 15 Mana for permanent magic power.

Advanced transcription can copy one-third of the contents of this book at once. Upgrade price: 20 Mana for permanent magic power.

To achieve the level of copying a standard book by simply leaning it against a specially made book in a library requires top-tier copying skills.

Upgrade price: 25 Mana for permanent magic power.

A standard page is equivalent to a page in a library book.

A standard edition is equivalent to one of the books in a library.

This magic can only be purchased one level at a time, upgrading step by step.

In other words, if she wants a top-tier copying technique, she has to pay 75 mana of permanent magic.

too expensive!
In fact, transcription is a convenient method for copying existing content.

Simply place the material you want to copy there, and the basic copying technique will allow you to copy it directly.

However, when copying what's in her mind, she can't copy several pages at the same time because she needs to organize what's in her mind.

From this perspective, for organizing reading materials and math textbooks, the transcription technique at the beginner level offers the best value for money.

She wrote a contract for an apprentice-level transcription technique using the Golden Pen Technique, dripped it with witch's blood (representing her witch status), and the contract was established. She immediately mastered the apprentice-level transcription technique.

Her total magic power was also permanently reduced by 5 mana, leaving her with only 980 mana.

She got plenty of sleep this week, and her magic naturally increased by 15 mana, which she then spent a third of.

No wonder the three witch magic books, "The Magic of Books," "The Magic of Fireworks," and "The Magic of Contracts," weren't in the first-year library!

The first-grade witch's total magical power and rate of magical power growth are much lower than those of a witch, not enough to exchange for several witch spells.

"Moran, can this transcription technique be used to write papers?" Vasita asked after hearing about the function of the transcription technique.

The little witches who had come to the library to copy their new witch's book had their eyes light up. Moran was annoyed by their stares: "It's possible, but... you need to think about your paper before you start writing! Copying can only replace the process of handwriting at most."

"That's still great!" the little witches said without complaint.

Moran shook her head and chuckled.

Only innocent and adorable little witches who don't know what copying homework is would think of using copying magic to replace writing.

Ais lowered her voice: "Do you think the dean would agree to let us ask for a pass to learn the transcription technique ahead of time?"

"No! Your total magical power is too low; it will affect your subsequent magical learning!"

It's unclear which of the Amisas suddenly spoke up, but it startled the little witches.

The little witches looked miserable; their magical power was truly minimal.

Vasita and Sylph looked delighted: "Dean! Can we learn this?"

Their magic is amazing!
"Yes, but copying is strictly prohibited when writing papers or assignments!"

The purpose of this paper is to help you consolidate what you've learned in class; handwritten reviews are more effective.

Vasita and Sylph immediately lost interest.

If it can't be used to write papers, then what's the point of learning this transcription technique?
Copying books and such is something you'll only need after graduation.

The books in the college library all contain copied magical runes, so there's no need for copying spells now.

They lost interest, but Moran became interested:
"Dean, I have a good memory, and I remember every word you said in class."

In that case, is it unnecessary for me to write a summary paper or review what I learned in class?

"Are you sure you've memorized everything?"

“I’ve got it!” Moran said confidently. “How about I repeat what you said in class this morning?”

Before the dean could answer, she cleared her throat and began to speak: "Everyone has finished the paper assignment given last Monday..."

After a long while, the dean's voice came again:
"It's fine. Amisha, who teaches you, has agreed. From now on, you don't need to write any more summary papers."

However, we cannot slack off; we should use our free time to read more books.

"Yay!" Moran was overjoyed!
Writing these papers was indeed a waste of her time.

With fewer papers to write, she can have much more time each day to read books that interest her.

She absolutely loved the witch academy's flexible and adaptable teaching methods.

The little witches: "..."

Some little witches write papers so quickly and well that they'll never have to write papers again.

Some little witches still have a lot of papers to write, and they will continue to write them in the future. Even copying techniques and ghostwriting won't work.

How can the difference be so huge!

Upon reaching the dormitory area, Moran said to Vasita and Sylph, "You guys go back to your dorms first, I'm going to practice my Clear Spring spell by the well."

"Aren't you going back for lunch?" Vasida asked.

Moran patted her bag: "I brought bread and fruit cakes."

"No, you don't even have to write papers or assignments anymore, and you're just eating bread and cakes to fill your stomach?"

Sylph and Vasita didn't understand.

Moran clearly possesses the great art of hot pot cooking, yet she lives a life of eating fruit cakes every day.

Before, it was because there were so many papers and so little time. Now that we don't even have to write papers anymore, why are we still eating fruit cakes?
