The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

“Thank you for being the bait, Venere,” Hannemann said.

Both the Mirror Image spell and the Petrify spell were created by this professor.

Those who would take action against a student based solely on suspicion are extremely rare in the academy.

However, the act of actively attacking a classmate after leaving the ring is what truly confirms the suspicion.

Samif brought in Hannemann not only to ensure the success of the arrest operation, but also to request his assistance in the interrogation.

“We’ll handle the rest,” Hannemann assured Wiener.

Then he waved his hand, and Baal, whose entire body had turned into a stone sculpture, rose from the ground.

Baal was already nearly two meters tall, and after being turned into a stone sculpture, his weight more than doubled.

Both spells are level 0, but when used by Lisette, they can only lift objects weighing up to 20 kilograms. However, in Hanneman's hands, even a stone sculpture weighing half a ton can be lifted with ease.

Wiener watched the two leave.

After going to such great lengths to impress the academy, surely I can be considered a Silver Water member?

Putting these thoughts aside, Venere did not continue towards the lounge, but instead returned to the ring.

Aside from losing to Bal, he still has several ranking matches to play, so he doesn't have time to waste.

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

"Look, Vena's back." Felix pointed towards the passage. "Now you can rest assured, right?"

“Who’s worried about him? I just want to go to the waiting room to rest.” Lisette turned her head away, still being stubborn.

She tried several more times after Felix stopped her.

Even if she managed to sneak away while Felix was distracted by the fight in the ring, Felix, who seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, would catch her and bring her back, refusing to let her leave no matter what.

Lisette then realized that this guy was very stubborn.

"But aren't you going on stage again soon?" Felix asked, puzzled.

After the teachers from the Demon Academy arrived, they quickly repaired the arena.

In the short time it took to trap Lucio inside the passage, the lineup for the next match was already being announced outside.

Among them is the name Lisette.

Lisette: "......"

......

"What's up with her?"

When Venus arrived late, she watched as Lisette walked onto the ring with an unfriendly expression, unaware of what had happened while she was away.

He then turned to Felix, the only one who might know the answer, and asked him.

“I don’t know either,” Felix replied.

"By the way, tell me quickly, where did you just go!"

Of all the people Wiener knew, if Felix was second in curiosity, no one could be first.

If Wiener hadn't promised to tell him the whole story when he returned, Felix would have been the first to get restless.

“Deal with Bar’s matter,” Viner said succinctly.

“That’s not Baal at all, although the imitation is pretty good,” Felix replied. “What did you guys do to that Baal that wasn’t Baal?”

Felix knew exactly what Viner was capable of; none of the other Baal could handle Viner in a one-on-one fight.

So he must have found help.

What's infuriating is that he didn't even consider himself when he asked for help.

“I don’t know about that. He’s already been taken away by Professor Hannemann,” Wiener said, shrugging. “For anything further, please refer to the academy’s official announcement. Don’t make any unfounded statements.”

"That's not what I want to hear! What about the details, the backstory? I skipped my ranking match today to come help you identify people, and you think you can just brush me off with these two sentences?"

Felix isn't buying it anymore; if you don't have anything substantial to offer, don't expect him to help you next time.

"Tsk, never mind. Just listen up."

......

On stage number seven.

"Um, Lisette, has the competition already started?" Kleber whispered a reminder.

The referee had already announced the start of the match, but Lisette stood motionless, her gaze seemingly drifting off somewhere.

While a direct attack is possible, defeating a beautiful young woman in a way that is tantamount to a sneak attack is not a glorious victory.

After being reminded, Lisette finally turned her attention to her opponent.

But she looked furious, which made Kleber wonder what he had done to offend this genius girl.

“I’m in a hurry, let’s finish this quickly,” Lisette suddenly said.

"what?"

Chapter 105 Sigurd: This Enemy Is Worth Fighting

The match ended very quickly, so quickly that the audience didn't even have time to savor it.

But for Kleiber, it was a battle that left a psychological scar.

"The winner is Lisette von Cordelia," the referee announced.

Samif went to interrogate "Baal" with Hanneman, so the referee for ring number seven was naturally replaced by someone else.

He appears to be a teacher from the Demon Academy who was captured to repair the arena, but after changing his clothes, he immediately became a referee.

"Are you OK?"

"It's alright, it ... just that my skills are not good enough."

Seeing her opponent's bewildered and fleeing state, Lisette felt a slight pang of regret, wondering if she had gone too far.

But soon, this regret was replaced by another emotion.

No, blame Viner for keeping everything from me.

He went up on stage to compete, but instead of cheering himself on, he squatted there whispering with his classmate Felix.

It didn't stop for a moment.

You don't even need to think to know what they're talking about.

Lisette felt excluded, a faint sense of loss and bitterness welling up inside her.

She hadn't had much interaction with Baal; their only exchange was during the time in the dungeon. She was able to sense the anomaly because of Vena.

Although the conversation was not in-depth, it was quite harmonious.

Both sides intend to build positive relationships with each other.

Even if Baal doesn't recognize Vena wearing the alchemical mask, Vena can't be so forgetful as to forget Baal.

The way the two of them were acting just now was nothing like a normal sparring match; it was more like a serious contest.

Something must have happened in between.

Having completed her three ranking matches for the day, Lisette had no intention of continuing and therefore saw no need to go to the waiting room, so she simply walked off the ring.

"Listy played beautifully in that match," Felix, the ever-comfortable one, immediately offered his praise.

While one might say he was just being polite, Felix's expression when praising someone didn't seem insincere.

But he's the kind of guy who praises how amazing the opponent is while simultaneously beating them to a pulp.

"Thank you," Lisette replied politely, then asked, "Where are the Veners?"

More than Felix's praise, what she really wanted to hear was...

“He’s getting ready to go on,” Felix explained, explaining why Venere wasn’t there.

"I see." Lisette was a little disappointed, and then prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to watch? Venus will be next." Felix asked hurriedly when he saw Listy was about to leave.

“I have other things to do after this, so I won’t watch it,” Lisette replied.

“Then I won’t watch it either.” Seeing that Lisette was determined to leave, Felix also expressed his opinion.

“...Actually, you don’t have to accommodate me like this.” Lisette said after a moment’s hesitation.

If Felix didn't intend to watch Wiener's match, he could have simply left before Wiener even came on stage. His presence in the stands indicates he planned to continue watching.

The sudden change of heart about not watching it was probably because Felix sensed that he was in a bad mood, and that's why he was playing along to comfort him.

"Huh? No, it doesn't." Felix said, completely confused.

He could definitely sense that Lisette was in a bad mood.

Felix's brain capacity couldn't support the complex thoughts that Christy imagined.

His reason for not intending to continue watching is quite simple.

Not good looking.

Unless he pulls out a new move like "Zero Flash", watching Venus fight on the platform always gives Felix the feeling that he is the one fighting on the platform.

Nothing beats watching Lisette's magical duels in a match.

If it weren't for Wiener specifically asking him to come and watch his match against "Bar" Felix, he wouldn't have planned to watch a single game.

“Before Wiener went up on stage, he told me to tell him exactly what he had done if I asked him about it after I came down. That’s why I’m waiting here.”

Felix explained why he remained in the audience.

"Since Lisette isn't interested, I'll go back and rest too."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Lisette wondered if she had missed something.

I said I'd go back and rest too...

"The sentence above."

“Vina said that if Lisette asks, he will tell you everything he did before.”

"...Let's talk somewhere else. How about we find a private room in the cafeteria to eat and chat?" Lisette's mood suddenly improved.

Students at St. Freya Academy can enjoy a meal allowance when dining in the cafeteria lobby; a few credits are enough to afford a sumptuous meal.

But some people want to eat better, while others don't want to eat crammed together with others.

Therefore, the college cafeteria also has private rooms.

However, the prices in the private rooms are not as affordable as those outside.

“Okay, okay!” Felix readily agreed.

Having reached an agreement, the two left together.

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

"The winner is Mikazuki!"

The seventh arena has once again decided the winner.

As long as he doesn't run into a few exceptional students in the first year, dealing with ordinary students like Wiener is a piece of cake.

But it was truly exhausting, a tremendous test for Wiener's physical and mental well-being.

With one hand supporting his gun and the other on his back, Viner pondered whether it was better to reduce the number of matches from five a day to three.

If you can maintain a high enough win rate, you can still advance to the Silver rank by the weekend.

After roughly calculating his ranking points, Wiener was about to leave the field to rest when the referee stopped him.

"Mikazuki-kun, where are you going? Your match is about to start."

"Uh, shouldn't it be the next match?" Wiener asked, puzzled.

Unless there are special circumstances, the academy will stagger the matches of the same person when scheduling matches to avoid back-to-back battles.

"That was the plan, but we just received a notification that Bal has withdrawn from the rest of today's match."
