Chapter 5: Witch or Sorceress

Golden text began to appear on the previously blank pages of the book.

【Moran】

【13 years old】

【Necromancy Magic Talent: No Limit】

……

(Talent limits from lowest to highest are: Apprentice, Low-level, Intermediate, Advanced, Peak, Super-Peak, No Limit)

Moran stared at the "No Limit" labels, her breath hitching in her throat.

So, she was a genius!

【All-element magic talent with no limit, conforms to Sorceress characteristics, confirmed as a Sorceress.】

Moran: "!!!"

The Sorceress was actually me.

【Magic Power Test Terminated】

【Magic Power Testing】

【Test Successful】

【Magic Power: 998 Mana】

【Manifestation of Talent Summoning】

【Summoning Successful】

Moran felt as if something was about to burst forth from within her body, or perhaps her soul.

The next moment, a strange, large book with a blank rectangular indentation on its cover appeared in her hands.

It had a gold-engraved cover and intricate patterns.

It felt both foreign and strangely familiar.

Subconsciously, she knew that this indentation was for placing cards; this was a card album.

More information remained hidden in a mist, requiring further inspiration to uncover.

"A Sorceress! A new Sorceress has appeared!"

"The fifth Sorceress since Lilith!"

"Moran! Her name is Moran, right?"

"Is her talent manifestation a book, just like Lady Tracy's?"

……

Her test results, which were completely different from the other little witches, caused an uproar throughout the hall.

Even in Ms. Amisha’s eyes, a glimmer of joy appeared.

Moran felt herself suddenly become the center of attention.

Fortunately, there wasn't a hint of malice in the witches' gazes—only surprise, anticipation, envy, and admiration...

After all, Sorceresses were born from among witches; the more Sorceresses there were, the stronger the witch race became.

The Chapter of Talent manifested the test results onto a piece of parchment.

After receiving the results, Moran barely managed to maintain her composure, though she was already overjoyed inside.

She was a Sorceress!

A Sorceress—one of only three currently in existence—who could punch angels, kick demons, and make dragons bow their heads!

"Moran, congratulations on becoming the fifth Sorceress!"

"The fifth?" Moran looked at Ms. Amisha in confusion.

Wasn't she the fourth?

"By the Sorceress above, this is a blessing for our race. Another Sorceress enrolled last year!" Amisha smiled and looked toward the senior students: "Lilith!"

Moran looked over and saw it was the red-haired senior who had felt so dangerous earlier!

But now, she was smiling much more affably; it seemed she had just been trying to scare her before.

So she was the fourth Sorceress!

It was normal for the outside world not to know, as she hadn't graduated yet.

Even as a Sorceress, one remained weak before fully growing up; it was very necessary to keep the news sealed during this time.

Amisha quickly regained her composure and continued to preside over the enrollment ceremony.

Moran finally saw the contents of the enrollment contract.

【We are witches/sorceresses awakened from suffering; we shall forever remember the past.

Under the witness of the Contract Sorceress, Lady Carmela, I promise

To never proactively harm any human female/witch/sorceress for the rest of my life;

To keep the information of the Witch Academy confidential; to keep the information of the Wilderness confidential; to keep the information of underage sorceresses confidential, and never leak it.

If any of the above articles are violated, I voluntarily renounce my witch bloodline, bear the mark of betrayal, and shall never enter the Wilderness for the rest of my life.

The promisor……】

No wonder Mother Shana refused to tell her anything about the Witch Academy; it turned out she had signed a contract.

Moran read every clause carefully. It was just a confidentiality agreement; there was nothing to hesitate about.

At the bottom, she wrote her name.

"Junior Moran, come here!" Senior Lilith had walked over to the little witches at some point.

Moran looked at Ms. Amisha, and only after seeing her nod did she walk over.

"Is your talent manifestation a book? Are there words inside?" Lilith asked curiously.

Moran shook her head: "To be precise, it's a card album, a book for holding cards. I'm not quite sure of its specific function yet."

"That's normal. A Sorceress's talent manifestation will gradually reveal its true function as magic power grows! It also requires the Sorceress to develop it."

As Lilith spoke, an object appeared in her hand: "Look at my talent manifestation; it's even more confusing to other witches than yours!"

"Isn't this... a syringe?" Moran said in surprise.

Although the material was unknown, it had a clear metallic texture and was inlaid with gems, but the needle, barrel, scale, and plunger were all there.

Mother Shana had a magic medicine box that contained a crystal syringe.

"Um... I call it the Blood-Thirsty Needle. It likes fresh blood, so the name Blood-Thirsty Needle suits it better," Lilith said, trying to save face.

Moran understood immediately.

Who would want to call their talent manifestation a "syringe"!

If someone mentioned a certain Sorceress in the future and said her talent manifestation was a syringe, it would immediately sound low-class.

She also had to give her talent manifestation a good name; "card album" was too ordinary!

After all, a talent manifestation was a Sorceress's reputation!

The Book Sorceress's talent manifestation was called the Book of Omniscience, the Contract Sorceress's was the Pen of Oaths, and the Fireworks Sorceress's was the Fireworks Wand.

As for hers... Moran’s eyes darted, and she had an idea

"Book of Cards! My talent manifestation is called the Book of Cards!"

A book that carries cards—"Book of Cards" was perfect!

Lilith grinned, revealing her cute fangs: "Good name!"

Before the two little witches could talk for long, they heard exclamations once again.

The round-faced, black-haired little witch on the stage had pulled a flesh-colored, crescent-shaped pouch out of her stomach.

It looked somewhat familiar.

Moran remembered her; she was the shortest of the little witches in this year's batch, and her name was...

"Washida! Congratulations on becoming the sixth Sorceress!"

Ms. Amisha's voice was even wavering.

Two Sorceresses had appeared in this batch!

The gazes that had been on Moran were all drawn to Washida on the stage, whose face turned as red as an apple.

Moran breathed a sigh of relief. Being a Sorceress was great, but it was too eye-catching. It was wonderful to have a little Sorceress to help share the attention!

After Washida signed the enrollment contract, she was also called over by Senior Lilith.

Lilith held Moran's left hand and Washida's right, smiling so wide her fangs showed: "The three of us can form the second-generation Sorceress trio!"

The first generation, naturally, was the Book Sorceress, the Fireworks Sorceress, and the Contract Sorceress.

The appearance of two Sorceresses pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

The little witches who hadn't dared to dream of being Sorceresses couldn't help but look forward to their own test results.

Unfortunately, until the second-to-last little witch finished testing, no third lucky person appeared.

……

"Twenty-seventh, Sylph!"

Only one little witch with dark green hair and a gentle temperament had yet to receive her talent test results.

To the shock of all the little witches, she only stood in front of the Witch Race Book for a moment before a dark brown wooden box appeared in her hand.

Without a doubt, another Sorceress had appeared!

After confirming the test results, Ms. Amisha's voice was trembling slightly

"Sylph, congratulations, you have become the seventh Sorceress!"

She had thought that having Lilith last year was surprise enough, but this year, three more Sorceresses had appeared.

It had been three hundred years since Lady Carmela that no Sorceress had appeared!
