The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"Don't, don't ask anymore."

Felix blushed deeply, and the tray in his hand unconsciously rose up, obscuring half of his face.

Although Vena had seen him wear this outfit before, it felt completely different in front of Tissa.

He can confidently show off his nice clothes to his best friends, but he still feels awkward and helpless in front of his mentor.

“I’ve always felt that this child has a good foundation, but I just haven’t found any opportunities,” Tilissa said, putting down her porcelain cup with a look of satisfaction. “I was right after all.”

Wiener could only give a thumbs up to this.

Although they were wearing the same clothes, Felix, who looked completely at ease and oblivious, could never compare to the shy and demure beauty.

"Well done!" Wiener thought to himself.

"If only Jessica could dress up like you do."

Looking back at Felix, Tissa couldn't help but sigh.

Jessica is also very beautiful, but she doesn't like to dress up and wears her school uniform as her everyday clothes all year round.

While it has its own unique charm, how can a young girl in the prime of her life only have a school uniform in her wardrobe?

“You should say that to her directly; she’ll definitely listen,” Viner replied.

"Are you really that sure?"

"If you don't believe me, just tell her later that Felix wore a maid outfit for you today. Then casually compliment her a couple of times, and then just wait and see how she behaves," Venere suggested.

"..."

After listening to Vena's advice, Tissa seemed to fall into deep thought.

"Don't you believe it?"

“No, that’s not it,” Tilisa shook her head. “I just remembered that we forgot to remove the seal before we left.”

"How long will it last?"

"Two hours."

"Then it will probably untie itself after we finish eating."

"Makes sense."

The two reached a consensus.

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

Since it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision and no special preparations were made, Wiener simply used the leftover ingredients at home to make a stew.

By the time he brought the stew to the table, Felix had already set the table.

After Vena served Tilisa a bowl, she noticed that Felix was still standing to the side, too afraid to sit down at the table.

"Felix, please sit down," Venere said, tapping the pot with a large spoon to urge Felix to take his seat.

"I...I'm not hungry."

Even though her mouth was practically watering, she insisted she wasn't hungry.

"Let's eat together, it's been a long time since we've had a meal together."

"Well... I'll go change my clothes and come back later!"

On the contrary, it was Tilissa who persuaded Felix to change his mind.

"Hehe," Tilisa smiled slightly, took the bowl of rice from Vena, scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

"It still tastes the same. I haven't tasted it in so long, it really makes me miss it."

"...Using the same words you just used to fool Felix, and then turning around to fool me, isn't that a bit much?" Vena couldn't help but say.

“It’s normal that you don’t remember,” Tilisa said, taking another bite. “This stew was my first meal after I woke up in Lumiel Village.”

"That's probably what I didn't finish eating."

"This isn't the time to say something so jarring, is it?"

Tilisa twisted her index finger, turning the spoon into a dagger and pointing it at Venus, her eyes full of warning.

“Three meals a day, thousands of meals a year, how could I possibly remember what I ate every day? But I’ll remember for a lifetime the fact that you stole my sword.”

Wiener glared back defiantly.

"That's okay too."

Tilissa reluctantly took back the spoon.

"What are you talking about?"

Felix, now dressed in casual home clothes, returned to his desk.

After glancing back and forth between Vena and Tilisa, he finally chose to sit next to Vena.

As fellow disciples, Felix held more admiration for Tilisa.

Jessica, on the other hand, had ulterior motives.

“Weina said she would remember me for the rest of her life.”

Taking things out of context is derived from the phrase "Don't take things out of context."

"I will never forget my master!"

This prompted Felix to also express his opinion, as if vying for favor.

The connection between the three began with a sword.

“I’m quite curious about something,” Viner asked, finally voicing a question that had lingered for years, “Why did you collapse in Lumiel village?”

Although she couldn't remember the exact date, Vena was certain that Arios hadn't left the village when she brought the severely injured and unconscious Tilisa home.

Based on this timeline, Tilisa was just a student at St. Freya Academy at the time.

“I was on a mission for the academy when something unexpected happened, and I almost didn’t make it back,” Tilisa replied. “Thanks to you, I was saved.”

Vina glanced at Tissa.

It wasn't a matter of "almost"; if Vener had discovered it even a little later, given Tissa's situation at the time, she could have easily become a wild beast's breakfast.

"Would the academy assign such dangerous missions to its students?" Wiener couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, so you should cherish your life, because there is hope as long as you are alive."

"The person who could injure you like that must be no ordinary character, right?"

"Just think of Him as a demon."

If the opponent is a demon, it's definitely not something Tilissa, as a student, could handle.

But "when He is a demon" means that the opponent is most likely not a demon.

"Which demon injured you, Master? Tell me, Master, and I'll avenge you if I ever encounter one again!"

Upon hearing that there was such a past between his master and Venus, Felix immediately spoke up for Tissa.

“That’s not your place,” Tilisa chuckled. “Your master hasn’t been living these past years for nothing; I’ve already avenged this little grudge a long time ago.”

"How dare you criticize Jessica? You risk your life on missions just as much as she does," Viner retorted.

Among her classmates, Tilisa was exceptionally strong.

Everyone says she's the only one who can keep up with the hero.

However, in terms of performance during their time at the academy, this statement should be reversed.

Only Arios can keep up with Tilisa's pace.

Before Arios enrolled, there was only one person in the Silver Wolf Class.

Whether it was exploring dungeons or carrying out missions, she did it all by herself.

Two fists can't fight four hands, and Tilisa, all alone, has had to push herself to the limit quite a few times.

"It's precisely because I've learned my lesson that I hope my students will learn from it less," Tilissa sighed.

“Felix showed me your latest weapon.”

"Night Sky Blade and Dark Dragon Soar, right? You've seen those two swords before."

Viner didn't understand why Tissa suddenly shifted the topic to the weapons she had forged.

“Neither.” Tilisa shook her head. “Felix said you told him the sword’s name is ‘This is a sword.’”

“I have seen it, and it is indeed a rare and divine weapon. However, this sword has neither a scabbard nor a guard.”

"Be careful, too much rigidity can lead to breakage."

Chapter 270 Mimi Kirimaru

"I think you've misunderstood something."

“Of course, we can’t rule out that it’s Felix’s fault,” Viner sighed.

"Hey, why is it my fault?"

Felix was shocked.

"Nonsense, you can't even convey a name properly, whose fault is it if not yours?"

"'This is a sword' as in 'sword', and 'arrow' as in 'bow and arrow'. Since it's a bow and arrow, there naturally won't be anything like a scabbard or guard."

Wiener explained.

"Oh?" Tilissa looked at her with suspicion.

"If you don't believe me, you'll find out soon enough by trying it."

"Alright."

Tissa accepted this explanation.

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

Although the workshop was quite spacious, it wasn't large enough to test bows and arrows.

After dinner, the three of them returned to the Silver Wolf Class through the portal opened by Tilisa.

The training ground was empty; Jessica was nowhere to be seen.

Only one area was spotless, so clean that not even a speck of dust had settled there.

You can see the shadow of a human-shaped mop.

Wiener untied the black cloth, placed the sword on the bowstring, and aimed at Felix, who had "volunteered" to be the target.

"Felix, stop swaying, or I'll miss your shot."

"So you're not going to act at all, huh! What happened to only shooting apples?!"

Felix, who was punished for stepping into the arena with his left foot first, stood on the far edge of the other side of the arena with an apple on his head.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt."

"You see, I'll believe you—"

Wiener completed the action of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow almost instantly.

The force was so light, it was as if he had just casually squeezed the bowstring, not even fully drawn.

However, with a casual arrow, 'This is a sword' flashed and pierced through the apple on Felix's head in the blink of an eye.

"Goo-"

Felix swallowed back what he was about to say and spoke again.

“Vina, you know, I’ve always trusted you the most.”

Felix pulled the sword from the wall, then carefully took the apple down and took a small bite.

The chill from the sword seeped into the apple, giving it a cool taste.

A crisp "click" sound echoed through the training ground.
