The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Lisette quickly waved her hands to correct him. “I just think… you’re actually laughing!”

“You caught me.” Viner removed her hand, unable to suppress the smile on her face. “But I’m not so stingy as to let Rikka and Felix share a single weapon.”

"I plan to make an external mechanical armor for Rikka."

"Automaton?"

Upon hearing the name, a hint of curiosity flashed in Lisette's eyes.

“That’s right, a mechanical puppet that combines offense and defense. With this puppet, I can guarantee that most first-year students won’t even be able to get past the Six Flowers level,” Viner said confidently.

"Isn't this a bit too much of a bullying?" There was a hint of reluctance in Lisette's voice.

Even without this stunt, she was confident that Rikka would not lose to any of the magical puppets.

On top of that, it would be somewhat unfair to have Wiener tailor-make equipment specifically for her.

Wiener chuckled and wagged his finger.

“If you just want to continue being the chief of the Demon Academy, you really don’t need to go through all this trouble.” Venere held up a finger and shook it from side to side.

"But it's a rare opportunity, don't you want your family to see your best self at school?"

Either don't do it, or do your best.

When Wiener crafted the external mechanical armor for Rikka, he naturally did so according to the standards for winning the championship.

Although they only stood behind Venus and Felix to provide support when forming a team, this was mainly because the three of them had different roles.

With Rikka filling the gap in close-quarters combat, Risti might be the most well-rounded of the three.

There is more than one favorite to win the championship, and Lisette is one of them.

"...I understand. Then I'll leave it to you to do."

Lisette bit her lip, finally making up her mind.

"Hehe, you won't be disappointed," Viner laughed.

“I would rather you put that heart into yourself…” Lisette sighed softly.

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

"Huh? Vena, why did you bring Rikka back today?"

Seeing that Venus had brought Rikka back to the workshop for the first time ever, Felix asked curiously.

“It’s getting cold, give Rikka some clothes,” Venus replied.

"You should have said so earlier, I have plenty."

Upon hearing what Wiener said, Felix could no longer contain himself and immediately went back to his room to rummage through everything.

But when he returned with two carefully selected outfits, he saw Venere holding a measuring tape, measuring Rikka, as if she were making clothes on the spot.

“Vina”.

"Ok?"

"Is this outfit you're talking about proper?"

"It's definitely more legitimate than what you have."

"What's wrong with the clothes she picked out?"

Felix said angrily.

"If you insist on saying it—"

Vena looked at the two sets of clothes in Felix's hands and chose the butler's uniform in his left hand.

"Keep this set, and take the other set back with you."

"Fine, I'll wear it!"

Felix couldn't take the shock, so he grabbed the rest of his clothes and ran back to his room.

At this moment, Wiener did not pay attention, but simply recorded the parameters and dimensions of Rikka on the parchment, and then drew up the blueprints according to the ideas in his mind.

Creating external mechanical puppets was also a challenge for him, and he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

But the more you want peace and quiet, the more people will come out to disturb you.

"I'm all changed!"

Felix seemed eager to prove his fashion sense, and with a "bang," he pushed the door open.

The commotion was so great that even if Venere wanted to ignore it, she couldn't, and she quickly glanced at it.

"puff--"

"See? I told you there couldn't be anything wrong with the clothes I picked."

Felix, quite aware of his role as a clothes hanger, slowly walked up to Viner and began to spin around.

Every movement revealed her satisfaction and pride in her outfit.

“Hey, Felix.” Viner covered her nose with her hand to stop the bleeding, and it took her a while to recover. “Promise me one thing.”

"What...what happened?"

Felix was taken aback by Viner's serious demeanor.

"If you can get Lisette to wear this outfit too, I'll do anything, whether it's the Holy Sword or the Demon Sword."

"what?"

Felix, unaware of the destructive power of his own outfit, was completely stunned.

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

"So this is what you mean by clothes."

After Wiener's explanation, Felix finally understood what had happened.

“Yes,” Viner wiped the blood from her face with a towel, “Do you need me to prepare a set for you too?”

“Hmm, never mind, I’m not interested in that kind of thing.” Felix shook his head.

Whether it's mechanical puppets or armor, frankly speaking, they all sacrifice flexibility in exchange for other advantages.

Wearing something that leaves only your eyeballs sticking out is pointless, no matter how nice your clothes are underneath.

What's the difference between that and not wearing anything at all?

Felix didn't like it.

Even with the Thief's Armor, he only tried it on while the novelty had worn off, and then he never wanted to use it again.

“Okay, let me know if you’re interested anytime.” Viner didn’t press the issue.

"You seem quite interested in this competition?" Felix asked curiously.

"There are always various reasons behind this," Viner said helplessly.

"Lisette's parents might come to watch the Griffin Battle. Although Lisette doesn't say it, she's quite concerned about it."

"Which child doesn't want to show off in front of their parents? So I can only apologize to the other contestants."

With just the improved Rikka, she is enough to defeat 90% of her opponents in this competition.

Wiener has that confidence.

"Should we show our faces?"

Felix muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Chapter 261 Silver Wolf Class Simulation Battle

Silver Wolf Class Training Grounds.

"All of you, attack me with all your might. I'll check where your problems lie," Tilisa said, her sharp gaze sweeping over the three of them.

"I will fight at a level similar to yours. So, Vena, don't use that move that instantly burns all your magic energy."

“Didn’t you say you’d go all out?” Wiener asked.

"Yes, but if you can accept further training after using it, then I don't care."

It would take half a day to recover from a single use, and it's fine for desperate situations, but we're not at that point yet.

"cut."

Wiener clicked his tongue slightly and put the bow back down.

"Master, Master, what about me?" Felix asked impatiently.

"Go all out, let me see how much you've improved lately," Tilisa said with a slight smile.

"okay!"

Felix happily took out the Night Sky Blade and the Dark Dragon Soaring.

Then Tissa turned her gaze to Lisette, "Five minutes to prepare the spell, is that enough?"

“That’s enough,” Lisette nodded.

"Then let's wait until Lisette is ready to begin."

Tilisa stood in the center of the training ground, without any elaborate stance or even taking out her weapon.

Simply standing in front of everyone, he is like an insurmountable mountain.

To ensure she was well-rested for class, Rikka's upgrade plan was only halfway through last night.

With such a tight schedule, there was even less time to forge weapons for himself.

Therefore, Wiener took the Day and Night that Felix had replaced and used it.

“Teacher Tilissa, I’m ready.”

After Venus and Felix had both gotten into position, Listy spoke up.

"Then let's attack."

No sooner had Tilissa finished speaking than Vena and Felix rushed out.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Tilisa from both sides with four weapons.

Dual-wielding is not just about wielding two swords; it's not simply a matter of adding one more sword to the other.

It not only requires extremely high talent, but also a lot of time for training and development.

Only someone like Felix, who is born with a sword-wielding body, can master this skill as if it were an instinct.

Before Gondorav, all skills are equal.

Felix's dual-wielding style is indeed good, but it will soon belong to Wiener.

Four weapons slashed out from four different trajectories, and Lisette even thoughtfully added a human immobilization spell.

Under this series of attacks, even fifth or sixth-tier emblem users would suffer a significant setback.

Seeing how well the three of them worked together, Tilissa smiled slightly, her smile revealing a hint of approval.

Although she had promised to suppress her strength to the same level as the three, her years of accumulated experience and honed skills would not diminish as a result.

If she wanted, she could even dodge the immobilization spell cast by Lisette.

But she didn't.

The purpose of this trip is to teach these young people a lesson, and Tilissa will face all their tactics head-on.

Just as the immobilization spell was about to touch her body, a white light suddenly flashed around Tissa.

Normally, after being hit by a human immobilization spell, even if one breaks free immediately, there will be a period of stiffness lasting about one second.

But Tilisa anticipated Lisette's movements and, precisely at the moment the immobilization spell was cast, applied a minor healing spell to herself.

The two spells took effect simultaneously, and the effect of the immobilization spell was directly overridden by the restoration spell.

While Lisette was preparing her next spell, Tilisa slid a short stick out of her sleeve.

The short stick, propelled by inertia, stretched out and pointed directly at Vener's chest.
