So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 256: Intermediate Healing Studies

"These are all for you, hurry up and eat."

After receiving Janna-Roland’s command, the Alchemical Wonder Seed that had been placed on the ground happily jumped to the side of the precious metals. It opened the gaping maw on its pineapple-shaped head and began chewing the metals like crispy dates, crunching away loudly.

"Such good teeth—"

Shaking her head in amazement, Janna turned her gaze toward the washroom, where the Alchemical Bathtub had already been installed.

"It’s already set up?"

Looking at the Alchemical Golem sprawled on the ground, Janna immediately used Hand of the Witch to toss the golem toward the Alchemical Wonder Seed.

"Crunch—Crunch—"

With its Devour trait, the Alchemical Wonder Seed didn’t reject the scrapped Alchemical Golem Janna had thrown. It devoured it without hesitation, biting it down in just a few chomps.

Seeing the Alchemical Wonder Seed eating so heartily, Janna no longer paid attention and instead stepped into the washroom. She gently patted the ornate Alchemical Bathtub, clearly pleased.

"Finally, I get to experience the life of the rich."

The next day, at 6 p.m.

Having eaten dinner early at the cafeteria, Janna walked into the public class classroom on the sixth floor of the magic tower, holding her textbook, Intermediate Healing Studies.

Last night, before Janna could even enjoy the bathtub for long, the Alchemical Wonder Seed had already devoured all the precious metals worth thirteen thousand Gold Surels—and it still looked unsatisfied.

Fortunately, unlike before when it showed no change at all, the Alchemical Wonder Seed had noticeably grown in size, at least in its pineapple form. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net

"Who knows how much longer this thing needs to be cultivated—"

As usual, Janna sat in the second row and sighed, thinking about how bottomless the Alchemical Wonder Seed seemed in terms of resource consumption.

According to what she learned from Richard-Eva, the baseline cost for cultivating a single Alchemical Wonder Seed normally ran up to around a hundred thousand Gold Surels—since Grace-Eva had spent over a hundred thousand to successfully grow an Alchemical Wonder Cottage.

As a result, many talented apprentices who obtained an Alchemical Wonder Seed during their apprenticeship didn’t successfully cultivate it until they became full-fledged witches.

After all, full witches had many ways to earn money, and an investment of over a hundred thousand Gold Surels was hardly worth mentioning to them.

However, for an apprentice witch, unless they had a specialized skill or strong family support, producing that much money from thin air was next to impossible—even someone as well-off as Vivian couldn’t do it.

Thus, Janna speculated that with her current ability to amass wealth, she might only be able to truly cultivate the Alchemical Wonder Seed once she advanced to an official witch. Even so, she couldn’t stop its cultivation during this time—otherwise, the Alchemical Wonder Seed would become so "hungry" that it might even eat its own seed core.

"Most of the people taking Intermediate Healing are the same group who attended Beginner Healing last year, though there are fewer overall."

In the spacious classroom, there were only sixteen apprentices. Of those, twelve were Tier 3 witch apprentices, mostly third-year students from the previous cohort.

Three others (not including Janna herself) were Tier 2 witch apprentices who had only recently entered their third year.

Judging by their mana fluctuations, those three Tier 2 apprentices were likely already at the peak of their tier and could break through at any moment.

"Thump thump thump—" With heavy footsteps echoing from outside the classroom, the long-absent Anthony-Blackcrow strode up to the podium.

"Good evening, apprentices."

"Good evening, Headmaster Anthony—"

Dressed in his usual black witch robe, with deep dark circles from sleep deprivation and a slightly receding hairline, Anthony-Blackcrow's appearance evoked a strong sense of familiarity for Janna.

The last time Janna had seen Anthony-Blackcrow was when she uncovered the "Divine Descent Ritual" arranged by the Cult of the Dark Sun in Duling and used Messenger Summon to call for reinforcements from the academy.

It was then that Anthony-Blackcrow discovered Janna had successfully comprehended a Law Fragment.

Right there and then, he promised her various academy benefits free of charge and even gifted her a White Bone Medal capable of withstanding a fatal attack.

To this day, Janna still kept the White Bone Medal hidden inside her witch robe, in case something like the vampire raid happened again.

"Alright, everyone, turn to Chapter One in your textbooks."

Rustle rustle—

Following Anthony-Blackcrow’s words, everyone turned their copy of Intermediate Healing Studies to the first chapter.

Last year, during the Beginner Healing course, Anthony-Blackcrow had already covered all the basic medical knowledge: magical plasticity control, human anatomy, acupuncture points, types of toxins, and external wound treatment.

The part he focused on most was how to use exceptional mana control techniques to explore every part of the human body in detail.

Janna had been one of those who mastered it thoroughly.

Thanks to her skilled command of Shaping Spell and her knowledge of various biological anatomies, she had been able to examine the body of the Deep Sea Mermaid with relative ease using mana threads.

However, in terms of medical witchcraft, aside from teaching Shaping Spell and Rapid Healing in the first class, Anthony-Blackcrow hadn’t taught any other spells.

"Today, we’ll be discussing the usage of Active Witchcraft—"

Upon hearing this, Janna, who had already previewed the material, immediately turned to the first section of Chapter One—The Use of Medical Active Witchcraft.

"If you've done your preview, you should know that healing witchcraft is divided into two types: Active Witchcraft and Passive Witchcraft. Of these, Active Witchcraft—due to the relatively lively nature of its magical particles—has vitalizing properties and therefore strict attribute requirements for the caster’s mana."

"Plant and Light attributes are best, with Water being secondary. If your mana attribute doesn’t match, leave now and stop wasting time."

What Anthony-Blackcrow was explaining was basic medical theory. Any apprentice who had taken a year of Beginner Healing would be familiar with this principle.

Indeed, among the sixteen apprentices in the classroom, not a single one had Fire, Metal, or Lightning as their mana attribute.
