The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

He then reached behind him and pulled Jessica, saying, "Felix, call for help."

"?"

Jessica glared at Vina; when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

But knowing that he was now playing the role of Felix, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

"Hello, Senior Clay."

"Oh, no problem, no problem."

Clay immediately wiped his hands on his clothes to make sure they were clean, then bypassed Vina and shook hands directly with Jessica.

Jessica reluctantly shook hands, applying a little pressure in an attempt to discourage Clay.

Unexpectedly, the other party showed an expression of enjoyment.

Feeling nauseous, Jessica had no choice but to increase her effort.

Viner, who had only wanted to watch the spectacle, rushed over and separated the two when she heard Clay's hand bones start to crack.

“Ahem,” Viner pried Jessica’s hand away and took Clay’s hand herself. “It’s like this, Senior Clay. After this Griffin Battle, Felix has become a little interested in alchemical armor and hopes to have a set of armor of his own.”

"I heard that my senior is an expert in this field, so I went to him specifically to ask for his advice."

"Hiss, so that's how it is."

Clay finally came to his senses; his sluggish reflexes only now transmitted the pain to his brain.

He released Wiener and used his left hand to massage his right hand continuously.

"Please come in first, and wait for me to finish moving these things."

"It's okay, I'll help."

Wiener rolled up his sleeves and helped Clay unload the things from the cart, while Jessica went into the workshop on her own.

"Philippines—"

Viner frowned, about to call out to Jessica, but was immediately interrupted by Clay.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Felix, you don't need to help with such a small thing."

With the combined efforts of the two people and the puppet, they quickly unloaded all the replenished materials.

Clay ordered the puppet to return the cart to the merchant guild, while he stayed behind to entertain the two.

"I've seen the armor that my junior made for Mikazuki. Its quality is so high that even I feel a little ashamed."

Clay put a few ice cubes in his glass and poured himself and Viner a glass of water each.

"Since you're already at this level, why do you need to ask me for advice?"

“That’s right, senior.” Venere had already prepared his explanation, “After all, the Thief’s Armor was custom-made for Mikazuki, and many aspects of it are not suitable for Felix.”

"Furthermore, when I forge equipment, I rely heavily on my state of mind and inspiration at the time. Even if I were given the same materials, I probably wouldn't be able to forge a second Thief's Blade Armor."

"So that's how it is." Clay suddenly realized.

His forging style is the most orthodox academic style, which involves drawing blueprints first, then verifying them, improving them step by step, and finally producing the finished product.

A new suit of armor was to be forged by Clay. If he succeeded on the first attempt, subsequent forgings would not deviate by more than three percent.

Wiener, on the other hand, entered the school with his artistic talents and adopted a free-spirited, animalistic style.

This style of crafting has an extremely high scrap rate, but it can occasionally forge exquisite equipment that is difficult to replicate.

One style aims for a stable lower limit, while the other aims for a breakthrough in the upper limit; ultimately, it all comes down to the skill of the forger.

“But you’re right, the armor Mikazuki is wearing really doesn’t suit Felix,” Clay commented.

"Then what kind of armor do you think would be suitable, senior?" Vena asked.

"I've heard of a type of armor that provides stronger defense the smaller the coverage area, which seems perfect for Felix."

Clay accidentally spoke the truth.

"...I think we should respect Felix's wishes."

After deciding to return, Wiener instructed Felix to keep his distance from the alchemy students.

"Uh, sure."

Clay also realized that he had misspoke.

"Hey, Vena! What do you think of this armor?"

Jessica suddenly shouted.

Viner and Clay both turned their gazes to the side and saw Jessica running towards them with a blueprint in her hand.

Chapter 337 Felix's Honey Trap

After seeing the blueprints in Jessica's hand, Viner's lips twitched.

No, do you have to be so direct?

"Oh, I didn't expect Felix to have such good taste."

Perhaps because of "Felix," Clay had no doubts whatsoever and even offered to help.

"The one you have is only part of the picture. Let me find the rest for you."

As Clay walked toward the workbench, Viner suddenly realized that the two of them had left in such a hurry that they hadn't had time to restore the desktop to its original state.

If Clay sees this, wouldn't he be wearing...wait?

Following behind Clay, Viner rubbed his eyes and looked at the messy table.

"Sorry, senior, I think I messed things up for you." Jessica perfectly captured Felix's tone.

"It's alright, it's alright, things are already a mess here," Clay said nonchalantly. "Wait a moment."

Vina looked at Jessica and realized once again how terrifying this woman was.

Jessica noticed Vina's gaze, tossed her hair aside, and gave a cold snort in a voice only Vina could hear.

"Now we're all set."

Clay gathered the entire set of blueprints and placed them on the table, introducing them to the two of them, "This set is the design blueprint for the Udvik Armor, which has extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. If Felix were to wear this armor, he might be able to go toe-to-toe with His Highness Dimili."

He is a die-hard fan of Felix.

Even with orders nearing their deadline, they still won't miss a single Felix match.

Although Klay couldn't recognize the sword emblem Felix wielded, he could still sense the destructive power Felix displayed in the arena.

On the offensive end, Felix is ​​fully capable of threatening second and third-year students.

"It's that amazing?" Jessica covered her face in surprise.

This is obviously an act.

She was well aware of Felix's strength; even without the Udvik Armor, he was capable of threatening Dimirli.

If Felix uses his true abilities, Dimir will suffer a great loss if he tries to confront him head-on.

Jessica was able to easily win over Felix, mainly due to compatibility issues.

No matter how strong the attack, it is meaningless if it misses.

“Yes,” Clay said confidently.

“Then I want this set.” Jessica immediately picked up the blueprints.

“Uh…” Clay looked troubled.

“Felix,” Viner shook her head at Jessica, “Don’t make things difficult for your senior.”

"It's not anything else, it's just that I haven't been able to forge this armor yet," Clay admitted.

"I think Viner forges weapons with his eyes closed, he never draws any blueprints."

"Why can't the senior forge the item even though he has designed the blueprints?"

Jessica patiently guided her.

"I wish I had that ability," Clay said with a wry smile. "These blueprints weren't designed by me."

“As far as I know, in the field of alchemical armor, no student should be stronger than you, senior,” Venus immediately chimed in.

"You flatter me, junior," Clay said, waving his hands repeatedly.

He glanced at Felix, then at Viña, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Do either of you enjoy shopping?"

“No.” Viner shook her head.

She's not the kind of girl who likes shopping; when she needs to buy something, she always has a clear goal and goes straight to the point.

After achieving academic freedom, he entrusted all these trivial matters to Anna without ever asking about the price.

Felix, on the other hand, quite liked it.

"No."

Jessica answered instinctively as well.

Wiener immediately looked over.

Jessica realized she had misspoke and began to correct herself, "...I basically only shop at the Valentine Chamber of Commerce store."

“That’s normal,” Clay said, unconcerned. “When I hit a bottleneck in forging, I like to go shopping to clear my head.”

“Look at the street vendor products that aren’t qualified to be displayed in stores and draw some inspiration from them.”

"Then last week, I discovered a peculiar stall."

"Oh? What's so special about it?"

"The stall owner wasn't from the school, and the only item on display was a blueprint. I immediately recognized that the blueprint was something special and thought I had found a treasure, so I asked about the price, but the other party said it was free."

“Things that are free are often the most expensive,” Jessica interjected.

“Look, even Felix understands.” Viner spread his hands and pointed at Jessica.

Even though she was talking about Felix, Jessica felt offended.

"Of course I understand that principle. But at that time I was experiencing a creative block and felt that the drawing could inspire me, so I asked the other party how to obtain it."

"The other party said they wanted to test me with a few questions. The questions were very tricky, but luckily I answered them all. Then they took out a whole set of drawings for me."

"Is it the blueprint for this Udvik armor?" Viner asked hurriedly.

“No, that’s not it.” Clay shook his head. “It’s a different set of drawings.”

"He said that as long as I could forge the armor in this blueprint and hand it over to him, he would prepare a blueprint of a higher grade for me, which is the blueprint for this Udvik armor now."

"So what kind of armor did you forge for him?"

"It's strange, but after I forged that armor, all I remembered was going to the market street to give it to him. When I came to my senses, I had a new blueprint in my hand, and I had no recollection of what I had forged before."

"I felt something was wrong afterward, so I ran to Market Street to try and find that person again, but I couldn't find him anymore. My intuition told me that only when I forged this Udvik Armor would he reappear."

Although Clay couldn't remember what he had forged before, he could clearly feel that his forging skills had improved.

Although the vendor was suspicious, the blueprints he received were genuine.

This is why Clay hesitated to tell Wiener about it.

If it were just Viner coming alone, he might not have revealed everything.

But under Felix's gaze, Clay felt that any concealment was a form of blasphemy.

After listening to Clay's account, Viner was completely certain that the first blueprint Clay obtained was the blueprint for the Armor of Calamity.

However, it was unexpected that using these mass-production blueprints for forging would also lead to the forgetting of related matters.

Fortunately, Clay's skill level was not high enough to forge the Udvik Armor, so he remembered all of this; otherwise, it would have been another case of no one being able to prove it.

“Senior Clay, how about this? I’ll use my credits to buy these blueprints from you. I’ll improve them a bit and forge them for Felix,” Venere suggested.

“Since it’s for Felix, then it’s fine to give it to you.” Clay waved his hand. “After all, I didn’t spend any credits to get this thing into my hands. It’s just that my skills aren’t good enough to forge it.”

Clay knew that Vena was Felix's exclusive blacksmith, a position he could never take away.
