The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Felix glanced around and saw the extra wooden crates in the workshop, knowing that Anna had been there but was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Anna went back so soon?"

Anna was worried that Venus would change her mind, so after she had managed to get Senbonzakura, she immediately found an excuse to leave.

"Hmm, but I still feel like something's not right."

Wiener rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Felix couldn't resist his curiosity.

"Even if Jessica doesn't like those cute things that girls like, do you think she wouldn't like a sword?"

As soon as she asked the question, Viner couldn't help but chuckle softly.

I probably hadn't been outside for a day and my mind was a bit foggy, which is why I asked Felix such a question.

Unexpectedly, Felix responded very seriously:

"If a swordsman doesn't like his sword, it's definitely a problem with the sword, not with the swordsman."

"Besides, Jessica just doesn't like to spend time dressing up, not that she doesn't like cute things."

"Just like I think Lionheart looks more majestic when it transforms into a large lion, but when you see Lionheart outside of battle, it's not always the palm-sized cub."

"Jessica is actually quite perceptive."

"...Are you still Felix? Have you been possessed by someone?"

Wiener was dumbfounded.

He was more shocked than by Jessica's analysis that these words actually came from Felix's mouth.

"Vina, you're spouting nonsense again." Felix pouted, slightly annoyed at being looked down upon. "So what exactly happened?"

“It’s nothing serious.” Viner shook her head. “It just so happened that I finished fighting with my sword when Anna came over.”

"She said she wanted to take a look, but then she took it and wouldn't return it, saying it was to pay off a debt."

"There's actually such a method!" Felix slammed his fist into his palm, as if he had discovered a new continent.

“I advise you to put away those nonsense ideas.” Viner flicked Felix on the head with her finger.

What is given to you is yours. What is not given to you, you cannot take away.

"Well--"

Felix bit his lip and frowned in displeasure.

"Everything will be yours after I die."

"No! Vena, don't die!"

Felix, who was initially somewhat unconvinced, was immediately humbled.

He clung tightly to Venus's leg, as if he wouldn't get up until she agreed.

"Get up."

"No, I don't want anything else, I just want Venus to live!"

"...I'm perfectly fine, there's no reason for me to kill myself, is there?"

Wiener shook his head helplessly, reached out and stroked Felix's cheek; the bouncy texture instantly relieved most of his fatigue.

"Then why are you bullying people!"

Felix opened his mouth to bite, but Venere quickly pulled her hand away, causing Felix to miss his target.

"Uh, let's not talk about that. You gave Anna your student card, so how did you bring your own food back?"

Wiener took out the student card that Anna had left behind before she left from her pocket and returned it to Felix.

“Jessica’s here for free, she’s come over so many times for meals, it’s not a big deal for me to come back for free once, right?” Felix seemed to suddenly remember something, “Oh right, I showed her my new toy!”

With a thought, countless blades fell from his hair and gathered into the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

Although Vena knew that this guy had copied Tilissa by hiding his weapon in his hair, she was also glad that she had pinched Felix's cheek instead of touching his hair.

"What did she say?" Wiener asked curiously.

Although the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and Thousand Cherry Blossoms are quite different internally, they look very similar on the outside.

If Jessica isn't interested in the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, she most likely won't like Senbonzakura either.

She asked me if I had any more.

"?"

Anna messed me up! Jessica said she didn't like this kind of thing!

Wiener was filled with remorse.

“I told Jessica that when I came out, you were already helping her with the forging, Venus. She seemed to be in a good mood and even told me to eat more.”

"?"

Felix, you've misled me too!

You've already blurted that out, so what am I supposed to do now?

Noticing that Venus's expression was becoming increasingly strange, Felix seemed to realize something as well.

"Vina, you didn't fail at forging, did you?"

He felt obligated to help someone who had eaten his food, and Felix would feel bad if he let Jessica's expectations be dashed.

"No."

"That's good." Felix breathed a sigh of relief.

"In other words, Anna snatched the sword that had just been forged."

"That's practically the same as failing!!!"

Felix slammed his fist into Venus's chest, while the Demon Blade Thousand Blades behind him transformed into a stick figure, waving its fist at the air in a threatening manner.

"Let me think of a way to fix this."

Wiener reached out and pushed Felix away, her mind racing.

Playing a third game is definitely not realistic.

Not to mention that many rare materials have been used to forge these two weapons, some of which have no substitutes.

Just imagining three identical weapons laid out in front of you makes even the most meticulously crafted weapons feel cheap.

"...Since we can't forge the one Jessica likes, let's at least forge the one she needs."

Wiener thought to himself.

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

The next morning at 8:00 AM, at the Silver Wolf Class's base.

"Vina, are you really alright?"

Felix looked at Viner, whose eyes were bloodshot, and felt a little worried.

"good."

What was supposed to be a simple task of finding a replacement for the Lionheart for Jessica turned into a series of mishaps, with the opportunity being snatched away twice.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Wiener stayed up all night again to finish another short sword.

The sword is two feet three inches long and is stored in a red scabbard. Its name is "Nine-Character Sword".

This time, he wanted to personally deliver the forged knife to Jessica.

Whether she is satisfied or not, it doesn't matter if she says it herself.

"I can't see what's wrong with you."

After all, even just sitting there, Venere looked like she was about to fall over, her face deathly pale.

"I'll go back to rest after I deliver the items."

Wiener was also aware that he was not in good condition.

Forging three spirit-awakening weapons in a row, the loss of health and the fatigue from forging made him want to fall asleep countless times.

But Vena always felt that if she closed her eyes, the nine-character Kanesada in her arms would grow legs and run away, so she kept holding on.

"Does Jessica always come this late?"

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Viner finally couldn't help but say something.

"I'm free anyway, so I'm used to coming early. She usually goes to the library for a walk before coming over."

"Shouldn't we have said this sooner?"

The tension that had been building up in Viner suddenly dissipated, and her eyelids began to slowly close without her noticing.

When he struggled to open his eyes again, his arms were empty.

"Is this the knife that was forged for me?"

Jessica appeared before Venus without his noticing, holding the Nine-Character Mantra in her hand.

"Hmm, this sword is called Nine-Character Sword, take a look and see if you like it."

Weina breathed a sigh of relief when she recognized Jessica's voice.

Jessica gently drew her sword from its sheath, her gaze sweeping over the inscription on the blade before finally settling on Vina.

Looking into Viner's tired yet determined eyes, she felt a strange stirring within her, and turned her head away.

"I just like it so-so."

Chapter 383 Vena: She gave far too much

"Nine characters and determination:

Weapon type: Sword

Weapon Grade: A

Usage Restriction: Swordsmanship Level A

characteristic:

The Nine Syllable Mantra: An ancient sword inscribed with the nine syllables "Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Zai Qian," each syllable corresponding to a special hand gesture. Repeated recitation can ward off evil, bring blessings, and grant additional power.

Mantra Resonance: When the user is perfectly synchronized with the hand gestures of the Nine Syllable Mantra, the weapon will resonate, drawing energy from the surroundings to provide the user with a continuous source of power.

Spacetime Ripple: When combined with specific hand gestures, the Nine-Character Combination can release spacetime ripples, allowing the user to instantly travel to a designated location, making attacks lightning fast and unpredictable, leaving opponents defenseless.

Barrier Dissipation: The Nine-Character Mantra possesses a powerful restraining effect on all types of barriers, regardless of whether they have a physical form.

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

Even though Jessica remained stubborn, the already unsheathed Nine-Character Sword seemed to be able to see through its master's thoughts, with silvery-white light flowing and shimmering on its surface.

"As long as you don't dislike it."

Wiener's requirements are not high.

As long as Jessica doesn't have a bad first impression of Kuji Kensada, she'll soon be inseparable from this weapon.

"I originally planned to forge a weapon similar to the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened along the way."

"After much thought, I think this Nine-Character Sword is more suitable for you."

While the Nine-Character Sword is not as extreme in attack as the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, nor can it switch forms like the Lionheart, it is still extremely flexible in its use.

In particular, its barrier-controlling effect allows Jessica to easily break through any opponent who can create a barrier to trap her.

It perfectly filled a potential problem in her combat.

"That Demon Blade Thousand Blades is not bad, but I won't be happy if I use the same type of weapon as someone else, okay?"
