The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The title of Chapter 98 is definitely wrong.
While the little witches were doing their witch history exams, Amisha used a red ink pen to grade the basics of magic exams.

By the time the little witches finished their continental history exam, the witch history exam had also been graded.

With all the exam papers handed in, and while Ms. Amisha was grading the last exam, the little witches, finally able to relax, frantically searched for Moran to check their answers!

The fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions were fine; the little witches who had diligently memorized the key points were generally able to answer them fairly accurately.

But when it came to multiple-choice questions, there was widespread lamentation.

"What? Choose E?"

"Choose A, an angel! It's definitely an angel! Even if he doesn't know dark magic, he's carrying dark magic items! What kind of dark magic items would an angel carry? There's definitely something fishy going on!" Ais argued forcefully.

The little witches who chose A chimed in, "It can't be a demon! The dead person's soul is perfectly fine! Moran, did you choose the wrong one?"

"I think the answer is C. Angelic holy light magic is different from ordinary light magic; it's completely incompatible with dark energy. They simply can't use dark magic items!" Alba, because of her affinity for light magic, knew more about angels with similar powers.

"It's neither a demon nor an angel, it must be a human. Human mages can also manipulate dark elements!"

She used the process of elimination.

“No!” Sylph said, “This is a village whose main industry is grain cultivation. The resident mage lives near the farmland, so he is obviously a wood-type mage. It’s unlikely to be him.”

“I chose the half-dragon! This village was fine most of the time, and then suddenly something happened. It definitely wasn’t someone from the village,” Vasida said.

“Impossible!” Cheryl shook her head: “That half-dragon has red hair. Half-dragons’ hair is a symbol of their bloodline. Dyeing their hair is tantamount to betraying their race. So he can only be a descendant of a red dragon and can only use fire magic!”

"Then what did you choose?" Vasida asked in return.

Cheryl shrugged. "I couldn't choose. I think none of them are right! It's not an angel, not a demon, not a human, and not a half-dragon. That leaves only a witch. Although this dark witch is a perfect fit and has a bad reputation, witches have all sorts of infamy, most of which are just rumors. It's absolutely impossible for a witch to be harmed. This deceased person didn't offend any witches, so it couldn't have been a witch who killed him. Before handing in the exam, I just randomly filled in an 'E,' but I'm going to report this to the dean later. There's definitely something wrong with the question!"

Listening to their heated discussion, Moran said helplessly, "Have you ever thought about this? Although killing and devouring soul power is synonymous with demons, they don't necessarily devour every soul they kill! The others are all wrong; it's clearly this one!"

"Why not devour it?" the little witches asked, puzzled. "The demons go through all that trouble killing people, isn't it all for this bit of soul power?"

"Perhaps she doesn't want to reveal her identity? A succubus who becomes the lover of a human mage residing in a village isn't very powerful, is she? She certainly can't beat this mage!"

Moran said, "In any case, this is the only option with the highest probability. The question is not asking us to find the real murderer, but only the 'most likely' one."

The little witches: "..."

How can this be possible!

Two points gone, at most three more will be deducted, and then they'll be out of luck with the magic coins!
"So, I guessed right?" Cheryl was overjoyed.

The other little witches who answered incorrectly: "..."

"Alright, all graded! Time to hand out the papers." Amisha stood up.

The little witches immediately shrank back into their seats, nervously watching the stack of exam papers in Ms. Amisha's hand, praying silently:

"May the witch protect me, please don't fail!"

"First place, Moran, full marks in all three subjects, reward 3 magic coins."

Amisha gestured for her to come forward.

Moran retrieved her exam paper and three glittering magic coins.

Little witches: (ω)! "Second place, Cheryl, Basic Magic Theory 92, Witch History 98, Continental History 96, reward: 2 Magic Coins!"

The little witches: "(○o○)!"

They were envious of Moran's perfect score, but not surprised at all.

After all, she was the inventor of the Warren workbook and test papers, and the woman with a photographic memory, Ms. Moran.

But Cheryl actually scored above 95 in two subjects and earned 2 magic coins, which is amazing!
It's normal for there to be a big gap between her and Moran, but Cheryl, everyone studied the same things, they're all witches, and she doesn't have any special talents. If she did so well, then they must be just as good, right?

Will I be able to get magic coins too?

The little witches' anxiety instantly turned into anticipation.

however……

"Third place, Sylph. Basic Magic Theory 88, Witch History 94, Continental History 90."

Sylph is just one point away from earning a magic coin in her Witchcraft history.

It's such a pity. As soon as she got the test paper, she couldn't help but look at her wrong answers and then regretted not being more careful and getting two more points.

She wasn't the only one who thought this way; every little witch thought the same.

The little witches behind them, one by one, were actually not that different; even the worst one scored above 80 in every subject.

None of them were below eighty.

Although I was happy that I didn't get the workbook reward, I was also disappointed that I was so close to getting the magic coins but didn't.

When Ms. Amisa went over the test paper, they found that the biggest problem with the multiple-choice questions was that they hadn't read the questions carefully, hadn't analyzed the information in the questions, and hadn't recalled the knowledge they had learned. They were even more disappointed.

"Damn it! This question is way too tricky!"

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more! I'll get the magic coin!"

Unfortunately, the exam is over, and there's no point in regretting it now.

If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time!

"Dean, when is the next monthly exam?" Vasida asked.

She calculated that if she could get all the points she shouldn't have lost, she could definitely get at least one magic coin!

“One month later,” Amisha said.

The little witches all remembered the time and were eager to try.

Next time, they will definitely read the questions carefully and get the magic coin reward!

From worrying about failing an exam to being blinded by the lure of rewards, all it takes is one good exam result.

Only Moran knew that there weren't that many careless mistakes; it was simply that his knowledge wasn't flexible or solid enough.

Cheryl's score wasn't due to luck, but because she worked very hard!
Cheryl: "I sit right behind Moran. Every day in class, if I'm not paying attention, I see her working on her papers. If I don't work hard, who will?"
