The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 99 Dean's Lounge

For a whole month after the first exam, the first-grade witches' enthusiasm for learning was at an all-time high.

They pay more attention in class, complete their workbooks more actively, and spend more time studying after class.

This was reflected in the second monthly exam, where all scores improved.

This time, in addition to Moran's perfect score, Cheryl also maintained her previous grades, scoring over 95 in two subjects and earning a reward of 2 magic coins.

In addition, several little witches, including Sylph, Vasita, Ais, and Alba, also scored over 95 points in one of their classes and received a magic coin as a reward.

The other little witches, though still not having broken 95 points, are closer to the reward.

The learning momentum in the first grade is very positive.

On Friday, Moran finally finished proofreading the second-year theory workbook.

"Dean, how can I give you the workbook from the Book of Witches?" Moran asked.

“Come to the Dean’s lounge on Saturday morning with your Book of Witches,” Amisha said.

On the way down the mountain, Moran looked through the academy map and asked Vasita and Sylph, "Do you know where the Dean's lounge is?"

“I know, it’s underground!” Vasita said. “Go down any staircase in the castle, all the way to the bottom, and you’ll find the Dean’s lounge. The Deans usually stay there when they’re not busy.”

Moran searched for "Dean's Room" on the map and, sure enough, found the sign for the Dean's Room that Vasita had mentioned on the lowest level of the castle.

"How did you know?"

Moran had only searched the dean's office before, but hadn't found it. She had assumed that the dean didn't have an office and lived somewhere else in the academy! After all, Ms. Amisa in her black robes always appeared riding a broom.

There's also a dean's lounge, so well hidden. You wouldn't usually look through a map this thoroughly, would you?
“When Sylph and I came to the castle to work on the Book of Witches, we went to a corner of the low-level magic warehouse in the west tower and found a stairwell leading to the underground. We went down to take a look out of curiosity and ended up finding the Dean’s lounge,” Vasita said.

Sylph's eyes also showed a look of reminiscence: "That day, we clearly went to the warehouse together, but when I turned around, I found that Vasita was gone. I called her but she didn't respond. I almost thought something had happened to her. In my panic, I quickly used the method you suggested to call the headmistress. The headmistress did respond to me. She told me not to worry, that Vasita was safe and would be back soon. But... she came back from outside the warehouse!"

"I went down the stairs from the west tower warehouse to the underground and found the dean's lounge. As soon as I went in, the dean asked me if I had finished my thesis. Without saying a word, I ran away!"

"I slipped away too fast and didn't recognize the corridor I came from. I took the wrong turn and came out through the main staircase of the castle hall. When I went back to the west tower, I even gave Sylph a fright!" Vasita said with a smile.

"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?" Moran asked.

“The Dean said this was a reserved project for the little witches’ castle exploration and asked us to keep it a secret, so we didn’t tell anyone,” Vasita said.

Before Moran could ask why she was told so quickly this time, Sylph said, "You have important business in the Dean's lounge this time!"

“That’s right! It’s all so that the senior students can enjoy the practice books and exams more quickly!” Vasita said. “Besides, we didn’t leak it first!”

It was the dean who mentioned the existence of the dean's lounge!

Moran: "..."

That actually makes a lot of sense.

"But if the deans are all underground, why did our teacher, Ms. Amisha, always ride a broomstick to the West Tower?"

On the first day of class, Amisha, the teacher of the third grade in a purple robe, also came down from upstairs. How strange!

Vasita and Sylph hadn't thought that far ahead, and now they found it strange.

"Could it be that they just did this to scare us on purpose?" Vasida boldly speculated.

"Is it really that serious?" Sylph asked, somewhat incredulous.

Vasita and Moran, recalling the Dean's deeds, nodded in unison: "As expected!" Sylph: "..."

On Saturday morning, Moran climbed the Sanqing Mountain of the college alone.

Upon arriving at the castle, head straight for the nearest staircase and continue downhill.

The same steps, the same walls, the same wall lamps, seemingly endless. After climbing countless steps, just as Moran was about to lose patience, she finally reached the end.

Passing through a doorway, you enter a deep, long corridor.

The surroundings were so quiet that she could hear her own breathing. The clattering of her shoes echoed in the corridor, making her feel inexplicably uneasy. Moran rubbed her arms.

This corridor is not a straight line; it twists and turns, and sometimes you can feel obvious ups and downs.

But there wasn't a single fork in the road.

After walking for about ten minutes, the view suddenly opened up, and we entered a large hemispherical space.

There was a huge door in front of her, and behind her, besides the passage she came from, there were many other passages and exits.

They are almost identical in size and appearance, no wonder Vasita went to the wrong place when she went out!
Moran silently memorized the location of the passage she had come out of before knocking on the door.

The door opened as soon as I raised my hand, before I even touched it.

Moran: (*)!!

Wow, it's huge! And there are so many Amisha ladies!

The entire space was filled with tables, chairs, bookshelves, and sofas.

The arrangement is varied yet not rigid.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5! Five Amisha ladies!" This was the first time Moran had ever seen so many Amisha ladies at the same time.

Some Amishas were lying on the sofa with their eyes closed, some seemed to be in a daze, and others were sitting at the large desk, looking at something.

The one in the black robe snapped his fingers at her: "Moran, come here!"

Moran jogged over.

“Sit down!” Amisha gestured for her to sit down.

Moran sat down opposite Amisha in her black robe and looked at the table. What she had just been looking at was this month's exam results.

Amisha noticed her gaze and exclaimed, "Exams are such a wonderful thing!"

"The allure of magic coins is just too great!" Moran said, looking around curiously.

The view from here is much better than from the main entrance.

She then noticed that there were four tall doors on the surrounding curved walls, similar in size to the ones she had entered the lounge.

In addition, there are many small doors with different colors, patterns, and designs, numbering at least over a hundred.

"Creak~" x4
In one place, four small doors that were next to each other suddenly opened at the same time.

Amisha in blue robes, Amisha in purple robes, Amisha in red robes, and Amisha in green robes emerged from different doors.

"Has Moran arrived?"
