Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

Outside the window, the night turned into dawn, then into noon, and then into dusk.

Except for going downstairs to eat and use the restroom, Miya hardly ever left her room.

Her bed was covered with sticky notes, notebooks, and secondhand textbooks borrowed from Flores's office.

The pillow was squeezed into the corner, and the plush bunny was pressed under a stack of review materials, with only one ear showing.

But she wasn't tired at all.

A body with all attributes exceeding 100 is indeed different.

Her constitution of 115 means that her stamina is almost twice that of an ordinary witch, and her intelligence of 108 allows her to process a large number of abstract concepts in a short time without experiencing mental fog.

She studied the fundamentals of magic theory for twenty consecutive hours, only sleeping for three hours in between. When she woke up, she was as energetic as if she had just taken a three-day mini-vacation.

This number is insane.

Miya silently complained to herself, then turned to Chapter Seven of the History of Magic.

This chapter tells the story of the origin of witches.

In ancient times, humans worshipped only one god.

The textbook did not write the name of this deity, but only used a mysterious symbol: an open eye with a pupil shaped like a cross.

This god loved humanity deeply, so he shared his power with them, giving the chosen ones the ability to change the world.

These people are called the "Primal Witches," and they are the first and purest witches.

After magic is absorbed into a witch's body, it needs to be converted into releaseable magical energy through a magic circuit, a process that inevitably results in losses.

When Miya flipped to the third chapter about the formula derivation of magic conversion efficiency, she had tried to calculate it using her own panel data, and the result was disastrous.

Her magic capacity was already pitifully small, and if the conversion efficiency were further reduced, she could probably only provide less than a third of the magic required to cast a standard fireball.

But that's the case for ordinary witches; the primordial witches are different.

Mi Ye's pen stopped next to the word "conversion efficiency" and drew a five-pointed star.

It's written very clearly in the book.

Nowadays, witches typically lose about 70% of their magic power during conversion.

In other words, of the ten parts of magic power inhaled, only three parts can be truly converted into magic and released, while the remaining seven parts are all lost in the conversion process.

This is one of the most fundamental and frustrating constants in the entire Bellavita magic system, and no one can break it.

But the Primal Witch did not have this restriction.

Their bodies are perfectly aligned with the power bestowed upon them by the gods; they can use as much magic power as they absorb, with almost zero loss.

This endowed each of the primordial witches with the power to move mountains and fill seas. Their names were engraved at the beginning of the continent's history, although Mi Ye could not pronounce any of them. Those names were written in some ancient script that had long been lost, and the textbooks only had transliterations.

She turned to the next page.

As time went by, the bloodline of the primordial witch spread through reproduction, and more and more humans gained the talent to use magic, becoming a new generation of witches.

Magic is no longer the privilege of a few, but a shared ability of a growing community.

During this process, ordinary humans who did not awaken their magical talents were driven to the edge of the continent by the witches because they were too weak.

Mi Ye flipped to a historical map.

The central continent occupies most of the map, marked with densely packed city-states, academies, and unique terrains, while the peripheral continents are depicted in gray, separated from the central continent by a strait marked in dark blue, with only a few words written on the map: alien settlements.

Dragons, ghosts, elves, orcs, and all other non-witch races were driven into that gray area.

Mi Ye tapped the strait location on the map twice with the tip of her pen.

This is indeed useful information.

She had always thought that the Bellavita were only a single intelligent race of witches, but now it seems that's not the case.

However, the other races have been driven off the continent and are almost invisible in the mainstream narrative of Bellavita.

She continued scrolling down.

After the primordial witches gradually faded into the annals of history, their direct descendants—those witches with the purest bloodlines and the most powerful magic—established a ruling system that covered the entire central continent.

Magic academies, witch associations, and major noble families all emerged during that period.

Above all of this is the so-called "legendary witch".

The textbook defines a legendary witch in just one sentence.

Possessing the combat power to destroy a nation single-handedly, and with a magical power level that cannot be measured by standard quantities, its existence is temporarily confirmed, but there is no record of its public activities in the last five hundred years.

Miya closed the textbook and took a deep breath.

This knowledge is not just exam content for her.

She is gradually coming to understand the world she lives in and its history.

Where did it come from, who shaped it, and where is it going?

Miya picked up her pen and continued writing a concise summary of the first chapter on the sticky note.

Night fell again, and the moon rose from behind the canopy of the banyan tree, its silvery light streaming through the window and onto her densely written notes.

She has already reviewed most of it.

The final part is the science of magic, which will be finished tomorrow morning.
