The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

It's worth noting that the Silver Wolf House has a history of dissecting and researching demons.

The level of danger of a workshop marked with a red alert is self-evident.

Viner was somewhat numb.

"What about the third floor?" Viner asked, somewhat helplessly.

"The third floor is the most important facility in this base. As for why, come with me."

Without disturbing Lisette, who was engrossed in taking notes, the two slowly ascended the stairs leading to the third floor of the villa.

This floor has a very strange layout, with no extraneous elements; the entire floor is just one room.

The only items in the room were those thick pillars.

Wiener roughly counted more than thirty.

The pillars are as tall as the roof, clearly not load-bearing columns, yet Jessica insists they are the most important feature of the villa.

Jessica didn't rush to introduce it, but Viner approached one of the pillars and felt a faint suction force coming from it.

Looking in the direction of the suction, there is a line of scribbled words directly below the pillar.

"The sixth level of the dungeon, the Plague Demon Ichby."

However, the demon's name was crossed out with a scratch.

Wiener immediately looked at the other pillars and found that most of them were the same as this one.

The dungeon levels are marked in front of them, ranging from the sixth to the eighth level.

Some of them had the demon's name written on them, while others were blank.

“These thirty-five teleportation posts correspond to the coordinates of thirty-five sealed locations within the dungeon, allowing for one-way teleportation to the corresponding location,” Jessica explained to Vina.

"It will be used when we capture new demons, or when it's time to maintain the core of the dungeon."

"...So the academy directly sealed the demon at the core of the dungeon's array?" Viner didn't know how to comment.

"Since the array core needs protection and the demon seal needs monitoring, we might as well put them together. This will also make it easier to weaken the demonic energy overflowing from the demon."

This is what it means to be highly skilled and daring.

If several demons manage to escape together, the entire dungeon may face the risk of collapse.

"So these are also Silver Wolf Class missions?" Viner thought of a very bad possibility.

“Of course,” Jessica nodded. “I am currently in charge of monitoring these sealing points.”

Rights correspond to obligations.

The Silver Wolf Class holds a superior position within the academy, which is certainly not due to any ancestral privilege.

Jessica's position as the top student in the academy, wielding influence within the academy comparable to that of several deans, is naturally due to her achievements.

"Won't this be a case of working for free?"

The task of monitoring the demons is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

"In order to allow the students of the Silver Wolf Class to focus their energy on improving their strength and completing the task of monitoring the demons in the dungeon, they will be awarded different amounts of credits each month according to their academic year."

“First-year students like you and Lisette receive 500 credits each month. If you complete the tasks assigned to your class by the academy, you will receive additional rewards,” Jessica said.

A first-year student without any special way to make money can only save about five or six hundred credits a year by saving every penny.

Not only do members of the Silver Wolf House receive a guaranteed number of credits within a month, but they can also freely use all the facilities and equipment within the house, making it an exceptionally well-off institution in terms of benefits.

Recruitment methods that only focus on risks or sacrifices are outdated.

The Silver Wolf School, with the heaviest responsibilities and the highest entry requirements, is not as good as the other three schools in terms of benefits and treatment. So how can it retain good talents?

Backed by the state, the three major universities formed factions within their colleges to compete for talent.

The Silver Wolf Class is backed by St. Freya Academy itself.

Even if there are any conflicts with other classes, the school will definitely favor the Silver Wolf Class.

When can I receive the credits?

It is said that a gentleman will not bow down for five pecks of rice.

But now, with nothing to his name, Wiener is really just short of those credits.

"...Once I submit your names, the college will naturally transfer the subsidies to your accounts."

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

The sky transitioned from sunset to starlight without anyone noticing.

Completely absorbed in her notes, Lisette lost all sense of time.

From the moment she entered, she was given that thin notebook, and several hours later, her gaze still lingered on it.

It wasn't because the contents of the notes were profound or difficult to understand, but because she was already attracted by the spiritual imprint left in the notes.

It is certainly a rare opportunity to resonate with the spiritual imprint within a book.

However, becoming overly addicted to it is counterproductive.

"Clap, clap." Jessica clapped her hands lightly.

The sound waves, generated with a specific rhythm, gently roused Lisette from her near-lost state, like a soft breeze.

"Senior, I..."

Lisette then snapped out of her daze and noticed that the sky outside the window had subtly changed color.

Thinking that the other person had waited for her for so long, she blushed, quickly closed her notebook, and apologized.

The notebook in her hand, though only one page was turned, had already been completely imprinted in Lisette's mind.

“Your mastery of the demonic path is still shallow, so it’s normal to be influenced by the spirit left by your predecessors,” Jessica comforted her.

"However, your current condition is not suitable for watching for too long."

"If you really want to reach the heights of your predecessors, you can't just imitate them blindly; you have to find your own path."

"Lisette has learned a lot." Lisette could naturally sense the other party's care and intentions, and bowed deeply to Jessica.

"By the way, senior, where's Vena?"

"Seeing that you were engrossed in watching, he didn't want to disturb you, so he went back first."

"I see. Well then, I'll take my leave. I'm so sorry to have kept you up for so long."

"No rush." ​​Jessica smiled knowingly and took out clean clothes from behind her.

"It's getting late outside, and it's about time to rest if we go back. Why don't we try this bathhouse?"

"It's very effective at relieving fatigue."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

As Lisette looked at the clothes in her hands, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She entered the underground city early this morning and rested almost constantly afterward. If she had the chance, she would have already wanted to take a relaxing bath.

However, when she took the clothes, she discovered that Jessica had prepared two sets of clothes, not one.

"Senior, this...?"

"Of course we'll go together."

A sly glint flashed in Jessica's eyes.

Chapter 147 Behind Felix

The moment Wiener pushed open the door, Felix's eyes lit up instantly.

"Ah, Venus, you're back."

Even though he hadn't said when he'd be back, Felix had already helped clear the table and was quietly waiting in the dorm.

They hadn't even changed their clothes, showing a rather eager-to-be-presentable attitude.

“Actually, you didn’t have to wait for me.” Vena looked at Felix, who had gathered around, with a rather helpless expression.

“That won’t do. What if that woman has designs on you? I’ll have to come and save you!” Felix said firmly.

"Are you sure you're not going to get yourself involved?" Viner found it amusing.

"Hmm...then I'll keep my body intact to avenge you?" Felix racked his brains and finally came up with an alternative.

"Go ahead and curse me." Viner chopped Felix on the forehead. "Jessica may be scary, but she won't eat people."

As he spoke, Venere walked into the room and casually pulled out two chairs.

He sat down in one chair, then placed the other one opposite him, gesturing for Felix to sit down as well.

On his way back, he thought for a long time about how to tell Felix what had happened that day.

Aside from matters involving combat, Felix is ​​prone to getting carried away, but otherwise has an excellent personality.

This seemingly easygoing demeanor actually creates an invisible distance between people.

Among the friends that Felix truly acknowledged, Lisette was one, and the other was Venus.

It was only after Jessica pointed out Felix's uniqueness that Wiener realized he knew nothing about Felix's past.

"What's wrong?" Felix asked before speaking, realizing that Vena had something to say.

“Listy and I have joined the Silver Wolf Class,” Viner explained the progress.

"Really? Congratulations! You've finally taken a step closer to becoming heroes," Felix congratulated them.

“We’re on the same team, and you’re far more talented than me. So I asked Jessica why we didn’t include you. She rejected the idea.”

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. What Silver Wolf Class or whatever, I don't care." Felix was quite nonchalant. "It's not like we'll never see each other again just because you joined the Silver Wolf Class."

"So, you and Jessica, have you met before? I mean before you enrolled in school?"

Wiener decided to start with Jessica's unusual attitude.

“I don’t think I’ve ever met her.” Felix shook his head, denying Viner’s statement, but a hint of confusion remained in his eyes.

"But... I have a feeling she's seen me before."

Otherwise, Jessica's special treatment of Felix would be inexplicable.

Felix is ​​indeed a genius, and he is the one handpicked by Wiener to have a promising future.

But Jessica doesn't need to wait for a promising future; she herself is the most outstanding genius in the history of St. Freya Academy.

You can't say she was jealous of Felix's good looks, can you?

Dark speculations such as jealousy or suppression can be directly ruled out.

Then we can only trace Felix's origins back to him.

"Could it be that your family has dealings with Jessica or her teacher?" Viner probed indirectly.

“...I have no family.” Felix stared at Vina with a resentful look in his eyes.

"Uh...what a coincidence, I don't have any either. Ha...ha...haha...sorry!"

Even he couldn't fool himself with those words, so Viner quickly apologized.

"Alright, I know what you mean."

Felix stopped Wiener from apologizing further. "You feel it's unfair that I haven't talked to you about my past, right?"

Wiener was actually more talkative than he had imagined.

During breaks from forging or eating, they would always talk about their past in Lumiel Village.

On the other hand, Felix was eloquent when talking about interesting anecdotes from the academy, but he was speechless when it came to his own past, as if he was avoiding the topic.

“No, I just wanted to know you a little more,” Viner said.

"...Vina."

"Ok?"

"That's a foul."

"Then forget I asked."
