The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

A faint halo of cold air surrounded the ice hockey puck, as if it were an independent little world, completely unaffected by the fire outside.

Hanneman tapped the ice puck lightly with his staff, feeling the unique flow of magic within it. After a moment of contemplation, he reached out to cast a spell.

"Let me do it."

A voice interrupted his actions.

Upon hearing this, Hannemann immediately stepped aside, saying, "You are indeed better at this."

"Hehe, I'm just a bit more experienced."

Tilisa stepped forward with a light laugh.

She immediately recognized the energy emanating from the ice hockey puck; it was similar to that of Admira.

Looking at the ice hockey puck shape again, it seemed less like a seal and more like it was protecting something. Tilissa immediately understood.

"呲-"

A ball of orange flame rose from Tilisa's palm and slowly enveloped the ice puck.

The flames weren't scorching hot; instead, they gave a warm feeling, yet they caused the ice ball, which remained unharmed under the rain of fire, to slowly melt.

"Snapped!"

As the ice puck continued to melt, the interior of the puck was gradually revealed.

Viner knelt on one knee, holding a sword planted in the ground with one hand, while using the other hand to support Jessica's upper body so that she wouldn't fall completely over.

Seeing that the two were unharmed, Hannemann initially breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing their intimate posture, he didn't know what to say and could only sigh, "These young people nowadays..."

After removing her Udvik armor, Jessica was wearing nothing more than the most ordinary school uniform.

The giant's scorching breath alone caused extensive carbonization of the uniform.

In addition, the ice barrier released by Vena to protect the two in the fire rain caused a large number of carbonized parts to crack due to the sudden low temperature.

While not exactly naked, they were at least disheveled.

As for Vina... he wrapped himself up completely in a thief's armor.

"It would be impolite to keep looking," Tilissa reminded her with a smile.

"You can spoil your own students, but I can't nag my own grand-disciple a bit?"

"Actually, I really support this little girl, Lisette."

"You really don't let a single one of them go."

Hannemann turned and left, also shooing away other colleagues who wanted to come and watch.

Tilisa then slowly separated the two who had been thawed.

She tossed aside the still clueless Viña in her eyes, then took off her trench coat and draped it over her troublesome eldest disciple.

"what?"

As Tilissa draped the trench coat over Jessica's shoulders, her fingers inadvertently touched Jessica's cold arm, and she immediately understood something.

"This silly boy, you can't just suppress the fire poison like that."

Tilisa sighed softly, then grasped Jessica's palm. A soft white light flashed by, finally drawing out the last trace of fire poison remaining in Jessica's body.

Chapter 371 Lisette's Effortless Control

St. Freya Academy, Infirmary.

The on-site investigation is still ongoing. Tilisa first took the two injured patients back to the academy for treatment.

After some emergency treatment, Ada gave Tilissa a thorough dressing-down.

"Fortunately, those bastards from the Alchemy Institute have all left, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find a room for you."

"How could you, as a teacher, be so heartless as to let your students go and fight the demon apostles on their own?"

Given Tilissa's current status, other faculty members must at least show her some respect.

But Ida didn't care about any of that.

This is the infirmary, so even if Lady Rhea comes, we have to... well, we really have to listen to Lady Rhea.

"But they succeeded, didn't they?"

Tissa, however, was not annoyed.

“This isn’t about success or failure,” Ada slammed her hand on the table.

"Even if Jessica has memorized everything in the books and has honed her combat experience far beyond that of a normal student through long-term training in the dungeon."

"But when it comes to demons, things can't be explained by common sense. How many emblem envoys have been killed by demons they've just encountered because of insufficient information?"

"Although this one is a demon apostle, look at what it has created! It's a mental image barrier that forms its own demiplane!"

“Apart from Lady Rhea, you won’t find another person in the entire academy who possesses this ability!”

"You just have to make your students like you, getting a long-term job from me... cough cough."

A long string of words came out of her mouth, but because she spoke too quickly, it made Ada cough repeatedly in anger.

"Okay, I promise I won't do it again next time."

Tilissa was the first to back down, gently patting Ida's back to help her catch her breath.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Ada felt powerless to do anything about it.

"Sigh, sometimes I don't even know what you're in such a hurry for."

“When Arios wasn’t around, you put all your eggs in one basket.”

Even after Arios appeared, you still didn't release anything.

“Jessica, Vena, Lisette, and Felix are all very promising kids. If you give them more time, they will all be able to help you share the burden.”

For a normal newborn, Wiener's hospitalization frequency is already high enough.

Almost every time I went down to the underground city, I was carried horizontally to the infirmary.

This is certainly related to his fighting style, but the fact that he gets caught up in unexpected events every time he enters a dungeon is also a kind of talent.

However, compared to Tilissa, Venus's hospitalizations were utterly insignificant.

Because at least half the time, he would stay obediently in the workshop and not go out.

Tilissa treated the infirmary like her home and the hospital bed as her sleeping place.

During her first year, the number of missions she went on and the number of times she was injured terrified Ada.

It was only later, as Tilisa's strength increased rapidly, that the number of times she was injured decreased sharply.

"I'm worried that I won't be able to wait that long."

With a wave of her hand, Tilissa added another layer of soundproofing to the already excellent soundproof doctor's office.

"At most five years later, the demon god will break free from the seal."

Tilisa made a surprising statement.

It took Ada a while to process the information in those words before she slowly asked, "...Did Arios tell you this?"

"Ah."

Perhaps it is a blessing from the goddess that allows the hero to vaguely sense the time when the demon god will break free from his seal.

They knew, yet they couldn't stop it.

Because the demon god's release from the seal was an inevitable event.

This was not due to avoidable reasons such as a loose seal or negligence, but simply because the power of the seal was insufficient to contain the demon god in its full power.

The creation seal left by the goddess separated the demon god and the continent into two realms.

While protecting humanity, it also prevents humans from crossing the barrier and causing any harm to the demon god, leaving them only able to watch as the demon god recovers from its injuries.

What each generation of heroes does is weaken the escaped demon god enough to reseal it.

The peak age for a normal person to be wielding a crest is between thirty-five and forty-five years old. After that, it becomes difficult to catch up with physical decline simply by accumulating experience.

If we follow Tilissa's words, there are only five years left before the Demon God is broken free. If we follow the conventional approach, it may be difficult to wait for the golden generation like Venus to fully mature.

"At the moment, only Dean Leia, you, Arios, and I know about this matter within the academy," Tilisa instructed.

"Then don't tell me!!!"

Ada was both angry and helpless.

This isn't trust; it's clearly putting pressure on her.

Although she understood Tilissa's thoughts a little better, she preferred not to know the news.

"This is just a heads-up. Remember to reserve a special ward for our Silver Wolf class in the future."

In the most calm tone, Tilisa recounted a rather terrifying event.

"...And what about yourself? Even Lady Rhea can't do anything about it?"

"Well, it's not a big problem. I was already prepared."

After the Griffin Battle, Tissa stayed with the Dean for treatment, trying almost every method except for the Prayer spell, but none of them worked.

Judging from this situation, even if Dean Leia were to sacrifice her life force to use the Prayer spell, it would probably have little effect.

This is understandable. If the injuries caused by the Holy Sword could be healed so easily, the Demon God would not have been so easily sealed by humans.

Ada knew that Tilissa was just putting on a brave face and acting like everyone else, while secretly enduring immense suffering.

Tilisa removed the barrier and walked out of the office.

"Oh, by the way, remember to keep what I just told you a secret."

"what are you saying?"

"Hehe, that's it."

Tilissa pushed open the door and left.

Then Ada opened the cabinet, rummaged around for a while, pulled out a transparent, sealed bottle without a label, chopped off the bottle opening with a chop, and then gulped it down her throat.

"Ha—madmen, all of them in this generation of Silver Wolf Class are madmen!"

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

"what--"

Wiener stretched his neck forward.

"Stop messing around, didn't I just peel one for you?"

"But I want Lisette to feed me herself."

"No way! Who told you to come back covered in injuries again!"

Lisette fed the sliced ​​apple into Jessica's mouth in the ward.

Normally, Jessica would have definitely ridiculed Vina.

Unfortunately, she wasn't in the mood right now; even the fruit she ate tasted sour.

"In terms of injuries, hers are much more serious than mine!"

Wiener exclaimed that it was unfair.

"Hmph, it's obvious that senior sister got so badly injured while protecting you."

"No, let her tell us herself who was protecting whom."

Even setting aside his final use of Amra to freeze Jessica and alleviate her fire poison while resisting the fire rain, he still managed to do so.

The fact that Venere had forced Jessica to wear the Udvik Armor earlier had already saved her life.

"..."

Jessica, who is usually very competitive, surprisingly didn't retaliate.

"You see!"
