Chapter 66: Double "Happiness" Arrives at the Door
Chapter 66: Double "Good News"
Amisha only controlled the direction and quality of the little witches' learning, telling them what to do next at the appropriate time.
Each person's progress was managed by the little witches themselves.
For instance, in this class, the black bread made by Vasida received Ms. Amisha's approval, and she was permitted to begin practicing making white bread in the next cooking magic class.
As soon as class ended, Vasida headed straight for Moran: "{Mobile Kitchen Card}, one please!"
"Installments or full payment?" If it were anyone else, Moran wouldn't have even used the term "full payment."
"Full payment, of course!" Vasida said without hesitation. "But I have to pay in the Bread Fruit Grove!"
"I want to buy one too. I'll pay 400 mana today and the rest tomorrow," Sylph said.
The witches all had excellent magical talent; she didn't have to worry about failing to learn cooking magic, so she needed to prepare a mobile kitchen here as well.
"Alright!"
Moran signed the contract with Sylph on the spot and gave her the card.
The cooking magic talent of the other little witches was only average; they were unlikely to specialize deeply in this field and become gourmet witches.
However, even if they weren't gourmet witches, they still had to eat, and they were all willing to prepare a set of kitchenware here in advance.
Seeing that they would be practicing cooking in magic class for a long time, it was better to pay their mana to Moran and buy a {Portable Kitchenware Card} to keep here!
They were still struggling with black bread, but that didn't stop them from imbuing their kitchenware beforehand!
Moran sold 23 kitchenware cards at once, priced at 100 mana each.
They all chose installments: 11 mana per day, cleared in ten days.
The energy in Moran's Book of Cards surged significantly once again.
This method of creating and selling cards based on demand was much more time-saving and less strenuous than before.
"Let's go, let's go! To the Bread Fruit Grove!" Vasida pulled Moran toward the grove. All the other little witches had received their cards; she was the only one left.
"You guys go ahead. I've transcribed a storybook and am going to talk to Beryl!" Sylph was still insisting on visiting Beryl every day.
Moran followed Vasida through the planting area into the grove.
The current Vasida knew the Bread Fruit Grove like the back of her hand; in a short while, she led Moran to a fruit tree that none of the little witches had harvested from yet.
After picking a large pile of bread fruits and stacking them together, Vasida brushed the dust off her hands: "That's enough, let's sign the contract!"
Moran handed her the prepared contract.
Vasida left her name on the contract, and 500 mana was instantly drained from her, replaced by an intense sensation of hunger.
She quickly pulled out her Devouring Stomach and stuffed the prepared bread fruits into it.
Once the bread fruits on the ground were gone, she let out a burp.
Not only did she not need to eat dinner, but her mana was also restored, and she had even saved up some stock.
Moran watched with pure envy.
Seeing her burning gaze, Vasida rubbed her arms: "Moran, don't look at me like that, you're scaring me!"
"Once your witch magic research is complete, I'll definitely buy one!" Moran said.
"Didn't Senior Lilith say last time that Energy Storage Cards could also solve your mana shortage problem?" Vasida asked, puzzled.
"My knowledge reserves aren't sufficient to support making Energy Storage Cards yet!" Moran sighed.
Only once she figured out how to reuse the mana stored in cards for purposes other than card production could she create truly useful Energy Storage Cards.
"I'll work hard!" Vasida could only say that.
"Keep it up!" Moran patted her on the shoulder.
After returning to the dormitory, Moran moved all the kitchenware and tableware from the dorm kitchen into the storage room.
She planned to use the items from the {Mobile Kitchen Card} for cooking from now on.
It was just that the dormitory was too small and the kitchen cabinets couldn't be moved, so she couldn't move the entire kitchen from the card out for use.
The homework for Witch History was simpler than yesterday's, just slightly longer in length.
After finishing her homework, Moran even had time to read *What Exactly is Magic* for a while longer.
In the next day's Basic Magic Theory class, the little witches took lessons from Monday and Tuesday and dragged out the time taken to answer every question.
Amisha acted as if she hadn't noticed, patiently answering the little witches' questions and slowing her speech to give them time to take notes.
Before class ended, she asked, "Has everyone finished asking their questions?"
The little witches shook their heads.
"Then it's my turn to ask," Amisha said. "Today's chapter is mainly about magical sects. So, who can tell me how many sects of witch magic there are in total, and what is the representative magic of each sect?"
The little witches: "..."
It's over, it's over, here we go again.
Moran actually knew about the sects of witch magic; they had been listed during the talent test, but she didn't know the specific representative magic for each sect.
Thus, she could only remain silent.
Consequently: "As per the usual rules, a paper titled *On the Sects and Representative Magic of Witch Magic*. Your reference book is the *Directory of Witch Magic*."
They thought that was the end, but Ms. Amisha wasn't finished
"Everyone showed great enthusiasm for note-taking today, and the questions were very dense. Therefore, write a summary paper as well! Based on the questions raised, summarize your gains from this class."
The little witches, who had just received two papers, cast looks of shock and resentment that were almost tangible.
This truly was a case of double "good news"!
As soon as Ms. Amisha left, Vasida rushed up to Moran
"Can you still make that card that records sound? Or can you make a card that writes papers automatically?"
It was only Wednesday, and they had already harvested four papers.
It was a heartbreaking sight; they wouldn't spend the entire weekend writing papers, would they!
"I can't make a card that writes papers automatically, but I can make a recording card."
Moran designed it in the Book of Cards and calculated the production cost: "A card that can record and store sound, with a cumulative recording storage time of 24 hours, will cost 5 mana. Do you need it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll buy one!" Vasida said.
Hearing this, the other little witches woke from their stupor and swarmed forward.
"I want one too!"
"Give me one!"
...
Sales of the recording cards skyrocketed. Every first-year little witch, except for Moran herself, bought one.
For no other reason than the fact that everyone realized the strategy of dragging out answer times to reduce the number of questions was no longer working.
Rather than receiving two papers as homework in a single class, it was better to ask many questions, record the lecture, and then honestly write a summary paper based on the recording after class!
At Ms. Amisha's place, it was estimated that there was likely no such thing as a theoretical class without homework.
It was better to just choose something simpler.
