The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

But once it was confirmed that Lady Rhea would be attending, the significance changed completely.

This is a chance to make an impression on Léa Saint Tiffany, the headmistress of St. Freya Academy.

Next up on stage was Venere's old acquaintance, Bar.

This apprenticeship with the Knights was a trial by fire for these new recruits.

This made their overall mental outlook completely different from before.

However, compared to the others, Baal's changes were not significant.

Instead of that, why don't you tell me about the results of your research project?

After all, he accomplished something that a whole team of people could only do by himself, so it's impossible for Wiener not to be curious.

"Well, you'll see it when you go back to the Silver Wolf Class when you have time," Lisette said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"On the contrary, it must be very exciting for you to act with the Holy Knights, right?"

A group of students returned to the hospital early, all of them with injuries on their bodies.

This made Lisette worry about Venus's safety every night until Venus returned to the academy and told her the news, which put Lisette at ease a little.

"I just stay in the back and do logistics," Viner said modestly.

"That's not simple either. Everyone knows that logistics is the lifeline of the military... Did they just call your name?" Lisette asked hesitantly.

"No way, if I were eligible for an award, how could I not know about it?"

Since Dean Leia finished speaking, the two of them had been whispering to each other, neither of them taking the commendation to heart.

"Vina!" Mr. Slav called out again.

"To!"

Now that he heard it clearly, Wiener quickly stood up from his seat.

"Hurry up and come up, or do I have to invite you?" Mr. Slav urged.

"Is there something wrong?"

Wiener trotted up to the platform and asked in a low voice, barely audible to the two of them.

Slav ignored Vina and announced directly: "Vina, a first-year student at the Combat Academy. During her probationary period, she served in the Ninth Squad of the Third Battalion and demonstrated outstanding contributions through extraordinary talent and tireless efforts. Today, she is hereby commended."

After saying that, he handed the award certificate to Wiener.

Before Wiener could even accept it, a question arose from the audience.

“I have an objection. The Miku Squad is a logistics squad and has no combat missions. May I ask what achievements this person has made to qualify for this commendation?”

It was Sigurd who raised the objection.

When Mr. Slav announced Wiener's name, it certainly caused a stir. It was unclear how this fellow, who had neither achievements nor military merits, could be compared to the students who had been commended earlier.

Even when they received supplies, they only received them from Anna and hardly ever saw Vina.

How did such a slacker manage to squeeze out others and receive the award?

The others are either not qualified or have no standing to raise this question.

Only Sigurd, who had the best performance during his internship and had some past conflict with Wiener, stepped forward.

Mr. Slav was about to speak when he was interrupted by another voice.

"I'll explain that."

As the voice rang out, the entire room fell silent, and even Sigurd lowered his head in respect.

"Although the logistics unit will not be assigned active combat missions, it still shoulders the task of safeguarding the security of transportation and supply."

"As for your achievements—Sigurd, I've seen the battle reports Sain submitted. During your apprenticeship, you participated in twenty-three battles, large and small, sustaining minor injuries three times and serious injuries once. Your weapon was shattered twice, and one set of armor was damaged. Is what I'm saying true?"

"true."

Sigurd was flattered that the esteemed Lady Rhea had actually remembered his name.

"There's no need to be so tense. You could have retreated with the other wounded earlier, but you insisted on completing your mission. Your spirit is commendable." The academy director's voice rang out again.

"Let me ask you again, if you don't have any equipment to change, can you withstand such frequent battles?"

“No. If it weren’t for the superior quality of the Knights’ armor, I would have been far more seriously injured than just severely wounded,” Sigurd admitted.

"These are Vena's achievements." Leia's voice was gentle yet carried a hint of authority.

"It's not just about defeating monsters and fighting on the battlefield that counts as merit. Vener spent ten days repairing 342 sets of knight's armor, indirectly saving the lives of an equal number of knights. Perhaps the armor you replaced was made by him."

"I wonder if such achievements are worthy of this honor?"

"...Sigurd, I am completely convinced."

"Dean of the Slavic Division, please continue."

Slav nodded and handed the award certificate to Wiener.

After Principal Leia spoke up herself, Vena had no reason to refuse.

"Crack! Crack!"

A crisp clapping sound suddenly rang out from below the stage, and then the applause spread rapidly like ripples, engulfing the entire auditorium.

Wiener knew that the applause was not for him, but rather an expression of their deep respect for Principal Leia.

But he wasn't blind; he could see that it was Anna who started clapping, which sparked the applause.

-----------------

After the commendation ceremony ended.

"Thank goodness, if it weren't for Lady Rhea speaking up for you, I don't know how I would have ended up like this."

“I think things are only getting out of hand now,” Viner sighed.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

What was originally just a minor question among students took on a completely different nature after the dean intervened.

The argument that repairing a few hundred suits of armor was equivalent to saving so many knights was far-fetched even to Venerer himself.

You can say that these newborn eggs will become seriously injured or even die from minor injuries just because they are missing a pair of armor.

The elite of the Paladin Order are not simply defined by their equipment.

But no one would question Lady Rhea.

They would only think that Lady Rhea was protecting her student and helping Vena save face.

Even if there are any objections or complaints, they will only be attributed to Wiener.

Wiener looked at the certificate in his hand as if it were a hot potato.

"This thing is better left unused... huh?"

Wiener accidentally opened the award certificate, and two pieces of paper were drawn out from it.

One of the cards he recognized was a credit card, worth 1,000 credits, which was more than enough to cover his emotional distress.

You should have told me earlier that you'd award me academic credits; if you had, Wiener wouldn't have had any objections.

He just dislikes empty promises, not that he considers money worthless.

I don't recognize the other one, Wiener.

The densely packed magic patterns on the small piece of paper gave him a headache.

Fortunately, he had Lisette.

"Listy, can you help me see what this is?"

Chapter 211 The Reception of Lady Rhea

"This is... a directional teleportation scroll?" Listi asked uncertainly.

A scroll is a convenient yet rather useless item.

Not only does the creator need to have a thorough understanding of the spells attached to the scroll, but the materials used to make the scroll, the technique of drawing the magic runes, and the length of time it is preserved will all affect the scroll's effect.

A scroll of a third-level flame spell requires a fifth-level mage to create, but its power is only equivalent to that of a third-level mage.

Despite their high cost, scrolls of offensive spells often prove to be largely ineffective in battles of the same level, making them seem rather useless.

However, the application of magic is not limited to destruction.

Functional spell scrolls, such as those for lock picking, identification, and transformation, are of great practical value.

Teleportation scrolls are considered the pinnacle of functional spells.

If a crisis occurs, this could very well be a second life.

"Even you're not sure?" This was the first time Vena had seen Listy so insecure.

"I've only ever seen the actual object once. Let alone using such a small piece of paper as a carrier..."

The best medium for making magic scrolls is naturally the leather of monsters with the corresponding attributes.

For items like teleportation scrolls, where the corresponding monster attribute cannot be found, cow or sheep hides are used, and other materials are used to make up the difference.

The idea of ​​creating such a complex scroll for teleportation from a piece of paper the size of a palm was beyond Listi's comprehension.

If it hadn't been hidden inside the Wiener award certificate, Listy would have suspected it was a prank.

"Can you tell me the destination of the teleportation?" Viner asked.

"No, I can't do it. But my senior should be able to."

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Jessica is the most qualified to speak on matters of teleportation magic.

…………

St. Freya Library.

"Oh, you've been inseparable since you got back?" Jessica teased as she saw the two of them arrive.

"Yeah yeah."

After getting to know him better, Viner became much more thick-skinned, and this level of teasing had no effect on him whatsoever.

But some people are just too shy.

"Vina!" Listi gave Vena a coquettish look. "Senior, you're getting more and more unserious."

“I’m practically an old woman living alone, what do I need to be serious about? Little Liz, I advise you to keep a close eye on him, or you’ll blame me for not reminding you later.” Jessica said meaningfully.

“Vina, what have you been doing behind my back?” Listy turned to look at Vina.

"Probably not." Viner shook her head repeatedly.

"Tell me everything that has happened these past few days, in detail."

"it is good."

After receiving reassurance, Listy turned back to Jessica.

“I believe in Wiener.”

"Tsk, it makes it sound like I'm the one trying to sow discord. You're the one working so hard behind the scenes."

"Are you injured?" Wiener suddenly asked.

"You can tell that?"

Jessica paused for a moment, looking quite surprised.

"I have a vague feeling about it, is it because of the demon from before?"

After mastering the Sword Heart Clarity, Wiener's perception ability improved significantly by several levels compared to before.

Although Jessica still seemed unfathomable, Viner could sense that her condition was significantly worse than when she left the academy.

"I guess so. The plan to capture the newborn demon failed due to the interference of the Sky Demon. But don't worry, that guy was injured much more badly than me."

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior."

Wiener was absolutely sincere about that statement.
