The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Viner took out her student card and found Tilissa's name in the list of those who accepted no notifications. Sure enough, she found a message with similar content.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Go outside this door and ask anyone. See if there are any people in the Alchemy Institute who get up before five o'clock."

Chapter 355 Lisette is far ahead

The gate of St. Freya Academy.

Lisette's family of three got up very early, before dawn.

"Alright, that's about it for now."

Xiumei looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she still let go of her daughter's hand.

"Mom and Dad are really going back now. Take good care of yourselves at the academy."

The original travel plan turned into spending two more days with my daughter at the academy; now I really had no choice but to go.

"Yes, I will fatten myself up."

"hehe."

Lisette's well-behaved appearance made Xiumeia laugh.

"Also, don't forget everything your mother taught you. When the academy is on holiday, don't forget to bring that kid Vena home for a visit," Xiumeiya instructed.

"Hmph, we clearly stayed at the academy for two extra days, yet we didn't even show our faces. I won't tolerate such a guy—" Fadevi seemed quite resentful.

"Dad, I deliberately didn't tell Viner. He has important matters to attend to at the Silver Wolf Class these days and just can't get away."

With just a little coaxing from Lisette, Fadvi immediately gave in.

"Even if you're busy, you shouldn't be so busy that you don't even have time to give someone a ride."

Fadevi's attitude softened slightly.

"You've been to the academy before, how could you not know what the students at the Alchemy Institute's schedule is like?" Xiu Meiya chimed in.

Over the past two days, Lisette had been spending time with her parents, and naturally, she told them about the time when Venus and Felix switched schools at the start of the semester, as if it were an interesting anecdote.

When Xiu Meiya heard that Wei Na was a self-taught athlete who had achieved a top-four finish in the individual competition in a field she was not good at, she was naturally even more satisfied.

When Faldvi learned that he had been brutally beaten by an alchemy student, he became even more depressed.

“If he values ​​our Lisette, what difficulty can’t he overcome?” Fadvi muttered to himself.

“Listy,” Shoemel stroked her daughter’s head one last time, “Boys always encounter some tricky and difficult things. When they get busy, they may neglect the feelings of those around them.”

"No matter how you treat them afterwards, or how you make them compensate for the coldness they showed you during that time, at least during this phase, try your best to give them understanding and support."

"Then why don't you support me in teaching that jerk a lesson—"

"How old are you? How dare you call yourself a boy?" Xiu Meiya said without any politeness.

“Yes, I understand, Mom.” Lisette nodded, then comforted her father, “When Venus comes to visit, I will make him apologize to you properly.”

"Hmm—it's the daughter who knows how to care for her father."

Fadevi's voice choked up.

"Then there's no need to wait that long," a voice suddenly rang out.

"Vina?" Hearing that familiar voice, it was actually Lisette who was most surprised. "What brings you here?"

"If you don't say so, does that mean I can't come?" Vena flicked Lisette's nose with her hand, then bowed to Fadvi and Vena.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry I'm late."

“It’s never too late to come,” Xiumeiya said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you actually know what to do—"

"Uncle, you really are Lisette's father?" Felix exclaimed in surprise.

"you--"

After being interrupted like this, Fadevi didn't know what to say next.

"Why did you bring him along?" Fadvi asked in a low voice, hooking his arm around Vina's shoulder.

“Felix is ​​our teammate and also Lisette’s good friend, so of course he should come.”

Vena glanced back at Felix and saw that, with Lisette's help, he had already struck up a conversation with his fellow practitioner Maya, who was quite familiar with him.

Felix certainly has a unique advantage when it comes to being likable.

"Then you can bring him with you when you come."

By bringing along Felix, the situation can change from a daughter bringing her boyfriend home to meet her parents to a daughter hosting a classmate over.

Although it may seem somewhat self-deceptive, it was already Fadevi's best effort to resist.

Fadevi secretly resolved to go back and undergo rigorous rehabilitation in order to redeem himself.

"Uh...okay."

Wiener couldn't understand why his cheap father-in-law's attitude had changed so quickly.

After receiving permission, Fadvi immediately released him and stood beside the lady again.

"Auntie, we met in a hurry last time and I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so I came here this time to make up for it."

With a flick of his wrist, Wiener produced a colorful glass bracelet and handed it to Fadvi.

"?"

"..."

After a series of meaningful glances from Vina, Fadvi finally realized what was happening and took the bracelet, personally putting it on Xiumeiya.

“Thank you,” Xiumeia said softly, “and thank you too, Vena.”

"Ahem," Fadevi's face lit up with joy upon hearing the lady's thanks, but he still couldn't help but glance at Wiener a few more times.

"Of course, I also have a father-in-law."

Wiener understood immediately.

"You're quite sensible, kid—no, who told you to call me that!"

Before Faldvi could react, Viner produced another star-shaped recording stone from his hand and handed it to Felix.

"This photo stone can display what is taken in a three-dimensional way at any time, so I hope to leave some family photos for the three of you. That way, when you miss Lisette, you can put it out and look at it."

Seeing that his wife and daughter had already won the bid with Felix's help, Fadvi's thoughts about his entanglement with Vina instantly vanished, and he hurriedly stepped into the crowd.

After Felix had finished taking pictures, Lisette waved to Vina off-camera.

“Vina, come along too,” Lisette said, her voice full of anticipation.

Vina, who had been quietly admiring the heartwarming scene before her, suddenly froze.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Everyone's waiting for you."

Felix urged him on, then swept his leg across Viner's buttocks and shoved him hard.

"Eh!"

Lisette reached out and helped the staggering Venus, then clasped her hands together.

She turned her head to the side and rested it on Fadevi's shoulder, half of her gaze directed at the camera and the other half at her daughter in front of her.

"Crack!"

The picture freezes.

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

After seeing the Fadewy couple off, the three of them walked together into the courtyard.

"By the way, Venus, how did you know my parents were leaving?" Lisette asked curiously.

However, instead of answering the question, Wiener leaned to one side.

Felix, quick-witted and agile, caught him in his arms.

“Phew—” Felix let out a long sigh, then introduced Venus to Listy, “Vina got this from the Master.”

"Then she hurriedly sent me to Anna's place to get the gift I had prepared."

"Thank you too, Felix. But what's wrong with him...?"

Lisette supported Venus on the other side and asked another question.

“Vina was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning, so he told me to wake him up at 3:30 in the morning no matter what.”

"Then when I woke up this morning to call Viner to leave, I found out that the guy hadn't slept at all."

Chapter 356 So it was you who did this.

"Something's not right... Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Viner stared at the three sets of Udvik armor that appeared to be different from what he was looking at, and fell into deep thought.

Admiral's successful replication gave him the confidence to begin forging the Udvik Armor.

A week has passed, and no substantial progress has been made.

While armor forging wasn't Wiener's forte, he wasn't entirely without experience either.

The Thief's Blade Armor alone, along with those hundreds of sets of Paladin armor, is already an achievement that many armorers can only dream of.

The three suits of armor in front of her, while all possessing defensive capabilities at the B-rank level, were still quite different from the Udvik Armor that Vina had envisioned.

As proof, the forging blueprints for the Udvik Armor are still hanging properly in the workshop.

Fortunately, I didn't force myself to make the Udvik armor first, otherwise the consequences would have been dire.

“It’s time to stop for a while,” Viner sighed.

Not stopping wasn't an option either, so he took a week off to go into seclusion and used up most of the materials needed to forge the armor.

All that's left are scraps; even if we wanted to continue, we no longer have the means.

Do you still have the list I gave you before? Please prepare several copies of the list of materials for forging armor; I'll come pick them up later.

Wiener sent Anna a message using her student card.

Anna's response was as efficient as ever, but the message she sent surprised Venere.

[Wait, what exactly are you and these people from the Alchemy Institute trying to do?]

[Skipping classes, ignoring all accepted orders, and focusing entirely on mastering armor?]

[Are you making so much armor for war?!]

The person on the other end seemed to have finally found an outlet and poured out all their grievances to Viner.

[Don't panic. Explain what happened clearly.]

Wiener quickly replied with a message inquiring about the specifics.

[Starting last week, the alchemists have gone completely mad, going on a buying spree in the market town. They're not buying anything else, just raw materials for forging.]

[It wasn't just me; they bought up almost all the forging materials in the entire market street, especially materials for forging armor, which were completely sold out.]

When you open your business, there's no reason to refuse customers who come to your door with money.

Anna initially thought she could make a fortune from this opportunity, but as forging materials from other branches of the Valentine Chamber of Commerce were brought in and sold out instantly despite several price increases, she finally realized something was wrong.

Moreover, such frequent and large-scale resource mobilizations even alarmed the empire and kingdoms.

You said that swords and weapons are consumables, and it's understandable that a large number of them need to be replenished in a short period of time when conquering dungeons.

The materials used to forge armor are often considered strategic resources, and such a large-scale production and distribution of these materials inevitably raises suspicions.

If you didn't know better, you'd think St. Freya Academy was going to form another Holy Knight Order.

Whether it was St. Freya Academy's sudden hoarding of a large amount of armor with ulterior motives, or the materials falling into the hands of bandits, neither was something the Empire Kingdom wanted to see.
