The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

You just want to see yourself make a fool of yourself, right? Well, you're in for a disappointment.

"Shh!"

Jessica gathered her magic power and forcibly drew Adramura from its sheath. Without hesitation, she slashed at the testing stone that Vener had prepared in the workshop.

A flash of sword light was seen, followed by a long whistling sound. The surface of the sword-testing stone was covered with a thick layer of frost at a visible speed, eventually turning into a crystal-clear block of ice.

This move was not sword energy, but rather a chilling aura that Jessica unleashed using Admira's special properties.

The fact that Admira could force Jessica, who hadn't even reached the level of a sword saint, to use a sword-like technique ahead of time was enough to demonstrate Admira's domineering nature.

While Vena and Felix's attention was drawn to the shape of the testing stone, Jessica reinserted Adramura into its sheath.

He put his right hand, which had drawn the sword, behind his back and silently chanted a spell to heal the frostbite on his palm.

"It's still too much of a stretch," Jessica thought.

He had only swung his sword once when his arm was already numb from the cold. If he were to force himself to use it in combat, he would probably turn into an ice sculpture before he even defeated his opponent.

Viner picked up a nearby iron hammer and struck the ice block of the testing stone with all his might. Apart from the pain in his hand from the impact, not even a single ice shard fell from the frozen testing stone.

"That's something," Wiener remarked.

Felix glanced back and forth at the ice sculpture and Jessica ten steps away, and as if he were competing with Admira, he tried again.

Since both Vina and Jessica were able to pull it out, it means the problem lies with themselves.

He didn't want to lose to Jessica.

"Well--"

Felix gripped the scabbard between his inner thighs, pressed his hands against the hilt, and pushed upwards with all his might, but he couldn't pull it out even when red marks were squeezed out of his hands.

Seeing that Felix was still wasting his time, Jessica stepped forward and advised, "Save your energy. Admira wasn't forged for low- to mid-level Emblem users. You're still too early to pull it out—"

"Here, take this and play with it."

Viner walked over to Felix, effortlessly pulled out Adramura, and then placed it in Felix's hand.

Jessica: "?"

"Okay, I'll come too!"

Felix wouldn't even consider why Venus was able to draw the sword.

He just wanted to do what Jessica had done again.

"呲-"

Felix's slashes were somewhat different from Jessica's.

If Jessica relied on her strength to forcefully drive Admira, converting the magic essence within her body into pure frost energy to simulate the effect of sword energy...

Felix's sword energy was mixed with a trace of frost energy in its extremely pure form.

The testing stone, frozen into a block of ice, completed its historical mission amidst a cracking sound.

It allowed the two top students of their grade to test their skills with Admira.

It deserves the praise of being described as "not bad" in its lifetime.

"Phew—I'm so tired, Vena."

After Felix shattered the ice block, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, and with a thud, he planted Admira in the ground.

After all, it was just a test of his sword skills, and he had already been intentionally controlling the strength of his sword energy.

Felix could normally unleash ten or eight sword energies of this level without even breaking a sweat.

Unexpectedly, after switching to Admira, he was exhausted after only one sword strike.

"As expected, the weapons you made are still the best."

Felix commented.

“Then let’s put it away,” Wiener suggested.

He already had a general understanding of Admira's performance.

"it is good--"

Felix intended to sheathe his sword, but then discovered that the part of the sword tip that had touched the ground was now covered in a layer of frost, making it appear as if it were part of the ground.

"...It seems there's a problem, Wiener."

After Felix's unsuccessful attempt to pull it out, he immediately reported to Wiener.

"I come."

Wiener gestured for Felix to step aside.

However, what was easy to pull out of the sheath of Adramura turned out to be extremely difficult to pull out from the ground.

The temperature inside the workshop was getting colder and colder, and the area of ​​frost on the ground was expanding.

Weina had no choice but to turn her gaze to Jessica.

"...I'll come visit again in the summer."

Jessica vanished from her spot in an instant.

"No, at least take me with you!"

Chapter 341 The Red-Haired, Burning-Eyed Tissa

The biting cold air released by Adramra turned the workshop into a frigid cellar.

Even when Wiener lit the stove and turned the heat up to the maximum, he couldn't stop the room temperature from dropping continuously.

"I can't stay in this dorm anymore."

Wiener pressed himself against the stove, trying to absorb the last bit of warmth.

Having not prepared any warm clothes in his dormitory, he had no choice but to wear the floral cotton-padded jacket he had found in Felix's room.

Does this thing count as women's clothing?

“Vina, it seems that the area covered by Adramra is only about the size of the workshop.”

Felix, who was the first to rescue the cat from the dormitory, reminded them from outside the door.

"Then I can't... watch the workshop... be destroyed."

Wiener trembled as he spoke.

He wanted to see how long Adramlah could go mad.

Suddenly, a rift opened up inside the workshop, and two figures landed in front of Vina.

"You guys really are a handful."

Tilisa looked at Vina wrapped in a floral cotton-padded jacket and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't say I abandoned you and didn't care about you."

Jessica glanced at Vina, then casually cast a 'Endurance Environment' spell on the three people in the room.

Although it couldn't completely ward off the cold, it did help Vina recover a lot.

After realizing she might not be able to handle the visions summoned by Adramura, Jessica immediately went to call for help.

“Take Viner out first, Jessica.”

Tilissa whispered her instructions.

"it is good."

Jessica nodded in agreement, then picked up Vina from the ground and took a few steps back outside.

The world inside and outside the house is like two completely different worlds.

"Phew—I'm alive again." Viner breathed a sigh of relief.

Jessica put Vina down and kindly reminded her, "I suggest you take off your cotton-padded coat, otherwise you'll get hot later."

After recalling the scene of Tissa melting away the Armor of Calamity, Vena realized that the other party was not exaggerating, and hurriedly took off her floral cotton-padded jacket.

At that moment, Tilisa was already walking towards Adramura.

"I know you've been living in the shadows for a long time and want to vent, but you should know when to stop."

"call--"

Ademura ignored her and instead exhaled a large amount of cold air in an attempt to drive away Tilisa.

The chill suddenly broke through the previous area, so cold that Vina hurriedly put on her coat again.

If it's like this outside, imagine how cold it is for Tissa, who's directly facing most of the chill.

"I told you to know when to stop!"

Tilisa took a step forward, and a burst of intense flames erupted from her body.

Her pupils and long hair were instantly dyed a bright red.

Wherever it passed, the solid ice melted under the heat wave, turning into trickles of water.

With each step closer, Adramra's occupied space shrank, until the distance between them was reduced to just one step.

Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide, Adramra trembled with anger, but Tilisa easily knocked him to the ground with a flick of her wrist.

"sheath."

Tilisa reached behind her, and Felix hurriedly ran to deliver the scabbard to her.

Tilisa picked up Adramura, sheathed it, and then extinguished the flames.

“It’s been resolved,” Tilisa called out to the outside.

"This has been a great help." Looking at the Adramura that had been sheathed again, Viner couldn't help but exclaim, "The original artifact, which has withstood the test of time and war, is indeed different from the newly made replica."

"This Admiral already possesses a certain degree of soul; it can accumulate power on its own. After venting this, it will calm down considerably."

Tilissa, with her extensive experience, immediately saw the crux of the matter: "In the end, it's just that a pitiful weapon that has lost its master has been brought back to the light of day, and upon discovering that everything around it has changed, it's inevitable that it has gone a little overboard."

"I'm not so bad as to hold a grudge against a sword."

Wiener wrapped Admula in his floral jacket, which he had taken off, and put it back in the alder box.

He didn't want to calculate the extent of the losses caused by this extreme contrast between ice and fire for the time being.

"I wish you could be this generous to everyone." Tissa shook her head.

Felix had intended to make himself a cup of tea so that his master could stay a little longer.

Upon opening the tea canister, it was discovered that all the tea leaves inside had frozen into crystal fragments, making them unusable for brewing.

"Now that we have a clue, I'm going to forge the Udvik Armor to lure the snake out of its hole."

“With Jessica cooperating with you, I’m not worried about safety.” Tilisa nodded to Jessica.

Jessica had already explained the general course of events to her when she arrived.

"How long will it take you to forge the Udvik Armor?"

"One week."

Wiener gave a rather conservative timeframe.

Armor is inherently more difficult to forge than swords.

From thoroughly understanding the blueprints to preparing materials and then producing the finished product, every step must be taken seriously.

Considering the time that might be lost due to failures along the way, a week is the absolute limit.

“It’s a bit late,” Tilisa shook her head slightly upon hearing that it would take a week, and revealed a new piece of information to Viner, “Sigurd’s condition has stabilized, and the Lafner family plans to come to the academy to pick him up in three days.”

As a witness to the event, Sigurd had no obligation to keep it a secret.

When he returns to his family and is asked about this, the secret of the Armor of Calamity will soon reach the ears of the Empire.

"If you have confidence, I can do my best to buy you more time."

Tilisa's words carried a hint of gentleness; she did not want to put too much pressure on Venus.
