A moment later, Starshine finished drawing the magic circle and lightly tapped its center with her slender index finger.
The second after her light tap, the magic circle vanished instantly.
Having finished this, Starshine immediately pulled her daughter into her arms and said softly, “There!
Now we just have to wait until tonight.”
“The propagation speed of the ‘wave’ is extremely fast, but for it to spread across the entire The Galaxy / Milky Way where we are, it will take at least half a day.”
“As for now, let’s eat!”
Starshine took a lunch box out of her storage space and pressed it into Arcana’s hands, along with a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.
Arcana blinked, and suddenly, her stomach let out a deafening growl.
It was as if her stomach was expressing strong dissatisfaction and anger at the fact that she was only just now reacting.
Moreover, this deafening growl was continuous, ringing out incessantly.
Just then, Mother Starshine also handed over a cup of warm plain water.
This was perfect; the sensations of hunger and thirst hit her simultaneously.
Arcana admired herself; after waking up from a 14-hour sleep, the first thing she did wasn’t going to the bathroom, washing up, or eating and drinking.
Instead, she first awakened her magic characteristic and listened to her mother’s lecture on the history of the Fanxing Family and Stellar Magic.
“I…
I’ll go to the bathroom first!”
Blushing, Arcana jogged away from the living room and headed straight for the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, she returned to the living room, picked up the lunch box on the table, and began enjoying her lunch today despite the rumbling in her stomach.
The moment she opened the lunch box, Starshine suddenly appeared opposite her with a flash, explaining with narrowed eyes and a smile, “This is food Mom got from the cafeteria.”
“Make do with this for now.
In the afternoon, someone from the academy will specifically come to deliver fresh ingredients.”
“This afternoon, let Mom show off her amazing cooking skills to you!”
“Okay!”
“I’m really looking forward to Mom’s cooking.”
Arcana smiled, expressing her great anticipation.
In this family of three, everyone knew how to cook, and their cooking styles were all different.
Mother Luna was best at making cold dishes and stir-fries over high heat.
Mother Starshine was best at stewing soups, especially various types of broths.
As for her, because of her past life, she was more of an all-rounder—proficient in stir-frying, braising, and stewing soups.
However, her skills were only at the level of ‘chicken feed’ in the specialized fields of her two mothers.
Therefore, at home, she mostly provided the ingredient pairings for Huaxia cuisine, and then her two mothers would recreate them using similar ingredients.
So, Arcana was now quite curious about the food in the Young Witch Academy’s cafeteria.
How delicious would the food in the academy’s cafeteria be?
Lifting the lid of the lunch box, what Arcana saw wasn’t the three-dishes-and-one-soup or two-dishes-and-one-soup she had imagined.
Nor was it three dishes without soup.
It was a box of…
fried rice, where red, blue, and gold colors shimmered together?
Why was there blue in the fried rice?
She could understand the red and gold, but why blue?
Was it blueberries?
Seeing her daughter’s confusion, Starshine kindly explained from the side, “Those colors are Gem Dragon meat.”
“Gem Dragon?”
Arcana was puzzled.
Crystal Beasts?
Rainbow Dragon?
“Gem Dragon is a rare ingredient.
Its greatest effect is that it can enhance a witch’s physical constitution.”
“Especially the improvement of immunity.”
“Although the physical constitution of newborn Little Witches will improve along with the growth of their total magical power during their physiological period, there are too many bacteria and viruses in the universe that can easily break through the fragile immunity of Little Witches in the early stages.”
“And Gem Dragon meat, besides improving the Little Witches’ physical constitution, its biggest role is to boost immunity.”
Starshine patted Arcana’s small head.
“You can think of Gem Dragon meat as a vaccine—a vaccine that helps you boost your immunity just by eating it.”
Then that’s wonderful!
Arcana immediately scooped a spoonful of fried rice and put it into her mouth.
The dragon meat, which looked crystal clear like gems, felt like tender beef in her mouth, but it tasted like chicken.
The texture of beef and the taste of chicken; this dragon meat really tasted strange.
But strange as it was, the taste was truly excellent!
The fried rice tasted very refreshing and not greasy at all.
With just one bite, Arcana fell completely in love with this fried rice dish.
She didn’t even check her smart brain, focusing entirely on enjoying the fried rice dish before her.
She was also curious whether the deliciousness of this fried rice dish came from the chef’s superior skills or the Gem Dragon meat itself.
Mother Starshine also added a small piece of knowledge she had forgotten to mention just now.
Gem Dragons aren’t difficult to raise—one could even say they are very easy to keep alive.
Therefore, Gem Dragons are farmed on a large scale on every habitable planet within the Empire’s borders.
However, the fertility rate of Gem Dragons is very low.
This means that even though the scale of Gem Dragon farming within the Empire is extremely vast, the annual production is still very limited.
Therefore, under the order of the Witch Emperor, all Gem Dragon production is prioritized for the Young Witch Academies within the Empire.
Over the next year, Arcana would be able to eat Gem Dragon meat frequently.
And there were many rare ingredients similar to Gem Dragon meat.
This coming year would be the year Arcana ate the best food in her life.
As for university…
She would have to rely entirely on herself.
As for why?
Starshine was originally about to explain, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.
Starshine got up to open the door, and Arcana also curiously leaned over, poking her head out to look at the dormitory door at the end of the hallway.
Was it her mother?
Starshine opened the door and saw an unfamiliar witch.
This unfamiliar witch had her entire body shrouded in a large black robe.
To Arcana, it gave off a bizarre feeling, like someone wearing a blanket with sleeves.
However, this witch still showed her face.
Like all witches, she had an exquisite and beautiful face with the unique charm of a mature woman.
She also had short azure hair, which was a rare hair color, just like cyan.
She smiled at Starshine and said, “Good afternoon, Ms.
Starshine.”
I am Lydia, a teacher at the Young Witch Academy.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
After saying that, she took out a creation that looked like the Tesseract from Marvel and handed it to Starshine, saying, “Your daughter, Arcana, has been assigned to the class I am responsible for.”
“Inside this Space Cube are the fresh ingredients you ordered from the academy, as well as the textbooks for various subjects the academy has prepared for Arcana.
You can let the child flip through them in advance to get an idea.”
“I wish you and student Arcana a pleasant life at the academy.”
Starshine took the Space Cube delivered by the witch named Lydia, who would be Arcana’s homeroom teacher for the coming year, and smiled.
“Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Ly.
I will make sure to supervise her studies properly.”
“Take care on your way out.”
After closing the door, Starshine returned to the dining table and placed the square crystal, which closely resembled the Marvel Tesseract, on the tabletop.
She chuckled at her daughter, “Hehe, the fresh ingredients are here!
I can make you something delicious this afternoon!”
“Rui Rui Baby, take your time eating.
Mom’s going to go process the ingredients first.”
“Mhm!”
Arcana had also heard that there were textbooks inside that square crystal for her future classes.
She was so curious.
What would they teach at the Young Witch Academy?
Would there be magic?
