The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 96: The "Good News" of the Exam

It was getting late, time to go to class. Moran grabbed her bag and left the dormitory.

As soon as she stepped out of the dormitory, she saw the first-year witches lingering and waiting near her dormitory, as well as some second-year senior girls who had heard about the energy storage card.

Lilith was among them.

Facing their expectant gazes, Moran shook her head apologetically:

"It's been made, but it only achieves a similar effect to magic coins. The cost is too high, so it can't be used to replenish magic power daily."

"Huh? Disposable?" Lilith asked.

“Yes!” Moran nodded.

"Very expensive?" Lilith asked again.

“Very expensive.” Moran nodded again.

Lilith sighed in disappointment: "Sigh! I knew it wouldn't be that easy! Energy can't be created out of thin air; everything comes at a price."

To quickly replenish 1000 mana of magic, there must be a place where 1000 mana of magic is lost.

The cost will certainly be high.

"It would be great if it had an effect similar to magic coins!" Lilith thought to herself.

Vasita chimed in, "That's right! If it's similar to magic coins, doesn't that mean we can exchange magic for money? Doesn't that mean we can save up our unused magic before graduation and exchange it for energy storage cards? That way, when we graduate, we won't be empty-handed and starting from scratch!"

"Yes, yes!" the little witches exclaimed excitedly.

Who can resist the temptation of earning their first pot of gold before even graduating?

Since magic power can be replenished after being used up, it's practically like getting magic coins without spending any money.

Moran shook his head again: "The dean forbids me from selling high-priced cards within the academy, as this will lead to insufficient magical power for everyone and cause them to neglect their magical practice."

"!!!"

At this moment, the little witches' expressions were incredibly ferocious.

That damned dean! He won't allow this, he won't allow that!

If they hadn't known that the dean was watching them closely, they probably would have cursed out loud.

Isn't this blocking their path to wealth?
Amisha, the little witch: "???"

Which dean forbade it? I've never heard of it!

Amisha, who was scapegoated: "..."

While Moran's point is valid, high-priced cards do indeed cause little witches to overuse their magic power and neglect their magic practice.

But she never actually said that!
Of course, if Moran were to ask, she would definitely forbid it.

"Vashida, we can only count on you now!" Sylph said earnestly, holding Vashida's hand.

The little witches don't have a high total magical power, but they can rely on healing potions. While these can't compare to the instant recovery from magic coins, they are still much faster than natural recovery.

It's clear that the healing potions at the beginner level aren't as effective for the little witches.

Vasita thus became the little witches' last hope.

Her ability to restore magic power through eating, although not immediately and requiring a process of eating, is much faster than that of apprentice-level or low-level restorative potions.

Even Moran's cards can't achieve this effect.

She couldn't imbue the cards with abilities she didn't know or possess.

Even if a sample is provided, it cannot exceed the function of the sample.

The ability to design an energy storage card that can be used an unlimited number of times is thanks to the Purple Gem in the Book of Cards.

The Book of Cards is a manifestation of her witch's talent, an ability inherent to her. With the matter of the energy storage cards settled, the little witches went off to their cooking class.

After two weeks without using cooking magic, Moran found that her control over it had decreased.

I was able to move the pots and pans in the kitchen steadily before, but today in class, I was a little unsteady again and almost dropped them.

After getting used to it, I returned to my original state.

The other little witches also found that their cooking skills had deteriorated a bit.

"Like all skills, magic will deteriorate with disuse. Unless you practice until you reach a level of perfection and your magic becomes a habit, you will regress if you neglect practice for a long time."

Ms. Amisa gave them timely advice.

As the clock struck noon on Friday, a chorus of groans erupted in the first-year theory classroom.

The little witches struggled for a whole week in the shadow of the workbooks, but still couldn't finish all the workbooks for the chapters they had learned before the end of the Continental History class.

"I still have three chapters of review exercises to do!"

"I have two more chapters!"

"How did you guys move so fast! I still have five chapters left!"

……

"You can finish what you haven't done over the weekend. Don't forget the monthly exam next Monday. You all know the exam scope, so remember to use the weekend to prepare and review."

There are three subjects in total, with a maximum score of 100 points. A score of 95 or above in each subject is considered excellent and will be awarded 1 Magic Coin. A score below 70 is considered failing and will be awarded a special workbook.

Whether you get magic coins or a special workbook depends on how you perform!

After announcing the "good news" about the exam results, Amisha left.

The little witches calculated in terror: "70, 71, 72..."

Moran sighed when he heard the little witches' identical counting methods.

The reading textbook was adopted, but what about the math textbook?

The little witches desperately need some math training!

"...94, 95, only 25 points apart! Is it really possible to pass just by studying hard?"

"I'll review the textbook and workbook materials carefully this weekend, and memorize the important points. I'm sure I can do it!" Moran said.

"What are the important knowledge points?" The little witches, facing an exam for the first time, had no clue what to do.

"Do you need me to highlight the key points for you?" Moran asked.

Although she didn't know what the exam would cover, she was perfectly clear about the key points.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the little witches nodded repeatedly.

Moran opened the textbook.

As she spoke, the little witches made marks.

On the way down the mountain, I went over all the key points of the exam chapters for the two courses, Basic Magic Theory and History of Witchcraft, with the little witches.

When it came to the history of mainland China, she didn't say it directly: "Have you noticed? What kind of knowledge points are the key points?"

The little witches haven't been fighting the workbook for nothing these past few days: "It seems like all the content is covered in the workbook questions!"

“That’s right!” Moran said, “So everyone must reinforce the content in their workbooks that they haven’t mastered. And you can’t look up the textbook during the exam, so you should write it down.”

I won't go into the rest of the history of the mainland; you can try to select the key points yourselves!

It's not really exam-oriented education; the important thing is to master the knowledge points and the ability to read and filter information, not to get high scores.

It is better to teach a shaman how to fish than to give him a fish.
