Chapter 129 Letter of Recommendation from the Witch Sisterhood

Chapter 130 Letter of Recommendation from the Witch Sisterhood

He discovered that a strange witch was now sitting in his usual spot.

Tong Yunran looked up at the sound, her gaze lingering on Zhang Qingzhe's face for a moment, a gleam of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

"So, this is your precious apprentice?"

She turned to Xia Qiwei, a smile playing on her lips, "You are indeed quite good-looking."

Xia Qiwei frowned, and asked with a hint of wariness, "What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to someone?"

When these familiar witches get together, they always speak so freely.

Tong Yunran shook her head, a different meaning in her smile: "No, that's not it. But—I'm quite interested in his sister."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingzhe couldn't help but frown.

Xia Qiwei ignored Tong Yunran's teasing for the moment and turned to Zhang Qingzhe to ask, "What do you need me for?"

"I have a newly made card here, but I haven't been able to activate it successfully," Zhang Qingzhe said, taking out the LV4 [Fireball Card] from his card pack.

Although he has never been good at using the [Energy Shaping School] attack cards, he has been practicing them in private.

Today at the school's drill field, he hid behind cover and tried to activate the card again, but the result was different from before—

Neither the fireball was successfully launched nor did it trigger a magical explosion.

This card is like a completely useless card; no matter how much magic essence is injected, it has no effect.

"What card?" Xia Qiwei reached out and took it.

She glanced at it and then frowned slightly.

"LV4 Fireball Card —"

Tong Yunran, who was standing next to her, caught a glimpse of the card and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But under Xia Qiwei's warning glare, she struggled to suppress her laughter, though her shoulders still twitched slightly.

"Your master was just bragging that although you have less than a hundred [magic loops], the loop power is huge." Tong Yunran finally calmed down, her tone teasing, "But now it seems—it's not so great after all. You can't even activate a LV4 card."

"What do you know? He just hasn't mastered the knack yet," Xia Qiwei immediately retorted.

She looked up at Zhang Qingzhe and explained, "These LV4 [intermediate-level cards] usually require more than a hundred [magic loops] to support them. If you don't have enough [loops] for the time being, you'll need to use some special techniques to help activate them."

Zhang Qingzhe nodded and pressed further, "What kind of special technique are you referring to?"

"There are many special techniques, but the simplest and most universal one is—" Xia Qiwei paused, then clearly uttered four words, "Using it in conjunction with the [Battery Card]."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly felt enlightened.

No wonder his battery cards were so popular; they had such a crucial use.

He currently has 90 [Magic Loops], which means he needs to add a battery card that provides an equivalent of 10 [Magic Loops].

Shakivi then asked, "How many [magic loops] do you have now?"

Zhang Qingzhe glanced at the two people in the office, hesitated for a moment, and then, feeling there was no point in hiding it, answered truthfully, "We've already reached ninety."

"What? You only had one loop when you enrolled, and now it's increased to 90?" Xia Qiwei said in surprise.

At this moment, Tong Yunran stood up.

"This is impossible! How can someone improve so quickly?" Her eyes behind her glasses widened in disbelief.

Zhang Qingzhe simply shrugged, his tone calm: "But that's just how it is."

He did not have a good impression of the witch next to him.

The other party seemed to be targeting him, their attitude was as if they had a "wife-stealing feud" with him.

Tong Yunran continued to shake his head, his silver-rimmed glasses slipping slightly down his nose.

"I don't believe it. Unless I actually test it with the [test card]."

But Xia Qiwei immediately glanced at her and reminded her sternly, "Tong Yunran, you know the rules. The specific number of [Magic Circuits], and the [Witch Bloodline]..."

The relevant secrets are all personal privacy and will not be easily revealed to others.

"1

"Of course I know, but—" Tong Yunran pursed her lips and insisted, "But I think he's exaggerating too much. How can we be sure without actually testing it?"

Xia Qiwei didn't reply, but instead lowered her head again to carefully examine the patterns on the LV4 Fireball card in her hand.

She suddenly looked up in surprise at Zhang Qingzhe.

"Could it be—that you made this card yourself?"

"yes."

Zhang Qingzhe nodded. "Didn't I ask you about the production method of [Intermediate Cards] before?"

Xia Qiwei frowned slightly.

She certainly hadn't forgotten that Zhang Qingzhe had asked her about making [intermediate level cards].

But at the time, she subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to try making a relatively simple "battery card".

It's important to know that the difficulty of making a [Battery Card] is far less than that of making a [Fireball Card].

Xia Qiwei was even more surprised.

She never expected that, after she only taught the principle of making the "battery card", this student would be able to deduce and practice the method of making the "fireball card" on his own.

Tong Yunran, who was standing to the side, found it even more unacceptable.

"That's impossible! He's not even a [Formal Card Master], how could he independently create—and a LV4 [Fireball Card] at that?" Her voice was full of doubt.

Xia Qiwei then laughed.

The smile, illuminated by the sunlight streaming in through the window, appeared exceptionally bright and captivating, carrying a hint of undisguised pride.

"How about it? I told you long ago, my apprentice is a true genius."

But Tong Yunran still shook his head: "I can't accept it. Unless—he makes one right in front of me."

Xia Qiwei's smile deepened, and she pressed further, "If he really does it, then will you agree to sign the letter of recommendation?"

Tong Yunran hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth.

"Okay. If he really can do it, then I'll make an exception and write a letter of recommendation."

She paused, still sticking to her judgment, "But I still reserve my opinion that he hasn't even reached the level of a [Formal Card Master], so it's impossible for him to independently create a LV4 combat card that he himself can't reliably use."

Xia Qiwei seemed to have received a satisfactory answer upon hearing this.

She turned to Zhang Qingzhe, her tone relaxed yet encouraging: "Then, why don't you make one right here?"

Zhang Qingzhe hadn't quite figured out what these two great witches were arguing about, but he still obediently nodded.

"I can make them on the spot. However, I've run out of blank cards, and I don't have any special magic ink on hand right now."

Xia Qiwei immediately turned her gaze to Tong Yunran.

Tong Yunran pouted and said somewhat reluctantly, "Fine, I'll prepare the materials."
