"If only the Holy Sword could be as easy to talk to as that great monster," Vena thought to herself.

Thanks to the cunning ghost's cooperation, Venus woke up from the mental space with almost no effort.

In the instant she opened her eyes, Venus felt a chill again.

This chill was even colder than when I had mistakenly entered the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, as if it had solidified into a tangible form.

"You left me all alone in the Silver Wolf Class, while you, junior, are sleeping soundly?"

Jessica's voice rang out from behind Vina, its coldness even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

After escaping, Jessica fled back to her dormitory and repeatedly washed her body.

I kept hypnotizing myself, saying that it was all a dream, that I would just sleep it off, and that I would act as if nothing had happened when I woke up.

But the more he thought about it in bed, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the hungrier he got.

The thought of someone having dinner with the teacher while I'm stuck in bed starving and unable to sleep is unbearable.

Jessica, who doesn't hold grudges, couldn't help but get out of bed.

Although it was past midnight, anything before 6 a.m. was still considered part of the day.

Viner looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jessica sitting on a bench with her legs crossed, watching him.

Behind her was Felix, who was bound hand and foot and hung from the rafters.

"Waaah, Vena, I'm sorry, I'm no match for this woman."

Felix, hanging from the roof beam, swung back and forth like a pendulum.

Jessica made no attempt to conceal her arrival; the murderous aura emanating from her burning hatred even startled Felix, who was already fast asleep, causing him to rush out with his sword in hand.

The thought of this guy being there during the candlelight dinner immediately diverted most of Jessica's hatred.

She gave Felix a fair chance to fight.

The outcome is exactly as we see it now.

After subduing Felix, Jessica also noticed Vener's sudden enlightenment while wielding the sword.

Even though he hadn't fully vented his frustration, he didn't rashly interrupt him.

He had no choice but to continue using Felix as a punching bag.

Watching the other person with their limbs bound, being swung back and forth on the roof beam like a swing, he felt a secret pleasure.

By the time Venus awoke from the mental space, Jessica's murderous intent had long since dissipated, leaving only a trace of resentment.

"So, senior, you've come here to interrogate me?"

Wiener put the Mimi Kiriwan into its white sheath and placed it on the table.

After seeing Felix's fate, he didn't even bother to try.

If you dare to do something so petty and self-serving, you should be prepared for retaliation in the face of anger and humiliation.

"Junior, you do have some self-awareness. I'm here today to—"

"Goo-"

A disgraceful voice rang out, silencing Jessica who had been preparing to voice her accusations.

"...So, senior, you're here to freeload a meal?"

Wiener tentatively asked in a low voice.

"roll!"

Chapter 272 Wiener escapes danger

"okay!"

Wiener immediately bowed to acknowledge the message, and then hurried toward the dormitory entrance, intending to leave this place of trouble.

As for Felix, the organization will remember his sacrifice.

Unfortunately, their intention to shift their strategy was immediately discovered.

"return!"

Jessica's voice boomed, forcefully pulling Venus back from the step she was about to take across the threshold.

"Is there anything else you need, senior?"

Wiener said calmly and without anger.

"...What food do you have here? Give it to me to fill my stomach first."

Although she wanted to confront them directly, the hunger in her stomach kept disturbing her thoughts, forcing her to suppress her anger for the time being.

“There’s leftover stew from last night,” Viner replied.

Considering Felix's appetite, he made a very generous portion of stew.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually paid attention to his image in front of Tilissa and put down his rice bowl in time.

So much so that when the three left, there was still a lot of stew left in the pot, so Wiener sealed the lid and prepared to continue eating it for breakfast the next morning.

"Is this all the leftovers you're going to serve me, junior?"

Jessica's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible dissatisfaction.

"Tilisa seems to be enjoying her meal..."

"Bring it up."

"What did you just say?"

“I said I just want stew right now, bring it to me.”

"Then please wait a moment, senior."

......

The stew, once cooked again, will naturally not taste or feel as good as when it's fresh out of the oven, but the hunger pangs will make all the food taste delicious.

Jessica finished her food in her bowl expressionlessly, and slowly asked, "...When exactly did you meet the teacher?"

She knew that Tissa had no siblings.

He had also witnessed firsthand how his teacher, who was usually indifferent to women, showed no mercy when disciplining Arios.

That's why I can't accept the fact that a "younger brother" has inexplicably appeared next to the teacher.

If he really has some kind of special relationship with the teacher, but acts as if he knows nothing about it when I mention the teacher many times, wouldn't he be treating me like a fool?

“About four or five years ago,” Viner recalled, “when Tilissa was seriously injured and collapsed near my house, and I rescued her.”

"To say we know each other is an exaggeration; we're just strangers who met once. I only recently learned their names."

"So you were actually the teacher's savior?"

Jessica looked at Vina with a complicated expression.

This alone makes it difficult for her to criticize Wiener further, otherwise she would be tarnishing her teacher's reputation.

“You could call it that if you really want to. But I was just providing a place to rest,” Viner admitted.

At the time, Teresa's injuries seemed hopeless; Venere had even prepared to collect her body.

However, in just one day, Tilissa recovered to the point where she could get out of bed and walk.

Before Gondorav awakened, Venere thought that the emblems made people's bodies special, and that as long as they were not killed on the spot, they were all immortal.

Only then did he realize that emblem bearers were also human, and human beings could be killed.

There must be other secrets behind Tilissa's ability to heal herself from her severe injuries.

"If she hadn't promised to take me away from Lumiel Village but then failed to keep her promise, I probably would have forgotten about it long ago," Viner said slowly, a hint of regret in her voice.

"I don't believe anything else, but I don't believe that. A beauty as stunning as the teacher, I don't believe a junior like you could remain unmoved," Jessica retorted immediately.

Jessica, who was raised by Tilisa, is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

That reverence for her teacher made her emulate him in every word and deed.

Only in front of Tilisa would she show a girlish demeanor.

“So what?” Wiener shook his head.

Teenagers in puberty often believe in love at first sight, fantasizing that a beautiful girl will fall from the sky and enter their world, adding a touch of excitement to their dull and monotonous lives.

If they actually meet, they will succumb to reality and re-understand each other, realizing that the two have never been in the same world.

A still-inexperienced country blacksmith and an incredibly mysterious herald seem completely incompatible.

Tissa accepted Venus's gift, but then turned around and abandoned him, never to be seen again for many years.

In just one day, the boy had gone through the transition from first love to heartbreak.

"Do members of the Silver Wolf Class always have to undertake such dangerous missions?"

Wiener changed the subject.

Four or five years ago, Tilisa, though still a student, was no less capable than Jessica is today.

Even a seventh or eighth-tier magical beast might not be able to keep her here.

“The academy assigns tasks to each class every month, including the Silver Wolf Class.”

"Although the difficulty and danger of the task are reviewed before it is released to ensure that the task is within the recipient's capabilities."

“But as the number of executions increases, some unexpected events are bound to occur,” Jessica explained.

"What kind of accident could have seriously injured your teacher to the point of barely having a breath left?" Wiener countered.

"...I'll check later."

After each mission, regardless of success or failure, the process will be reported in the form of a report.

The task was completed easily, and the content consisted of only a few strokes.

Only failures, or tasks that go far beyond expectations, are given special attention.

There can't be many tasks that could make Tilisa look so disheveled.

"Then I'll leave it to you, senior. Please get some rest when you get back. I won't see you off."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Jessica subconsciously got up, preparing to use teleportation to leave, but then suddenly remembered something.

Didn't I come here to demand an explanation? How did I end up begging for food?

"...I almost got led astray by my junior again."

Jessica, suddenly realizing what was happening, sat back down in her chair. "I didn't come here for that."

"So, what brings you here, senior?" Viner countered.

"Of course, it was yesterday at the Silver Wolf Class—"

“Senior, think it over before you speak,” Vena interrupted. “This matter was originally only known to heaven, earth, you, and me, Tissa.”

"If my senior says it here, even if I can forget it, she's a big mouth."

"You're the big mouth! Your whole family are big mouths!"

Felix quickly took it personally and then expressed his dissatisfaction.

Little did he know that he would be caught in the crossfire while being tied to a roof beam to watch a play.

"...Very well, this time you win. If I find out that a fourth person knows about what happened yesterday, then you'd better wash your neck and wait."

For the sake of the late-night snack, Jessica finally let Vina go, giving her a final warning before teleporting away from the workshop.

"Hey, Vena, what exactly happened between you guys yesterday?"

Felix asked impatiently as soon as he was put down.

He was incredibly curious about the things that could infuriate Jessica yet leave her helpless.
