The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Why are you blushing, you grown man?

Wiener decided to end the conversation.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t say,” Felix called out to Venus, who was about to get up.

"I've been avoiding this topic because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me."

"Actually, I'm not very sure if I've ever met her. Because there's a long, long gap in my memory."

"Amnesia?"

"Hmm. I seem to have a peculiar illness. Every few years, it's as if I'm living a new life, and I forget everything that happened before."

"Even if you keep thinking and try your best to remember, you can only recall a little bit."

This was the first time Wiener had felt the pressure and helplessness hidden behind Felix's optimism.

“You can actually tell me this directly.”

"It's no use talking to you, Vena. You're not a doctor."

Despite discussing such a heavy topic, Felix still managed to laugh.

"I was given away to someone else shortly after I was born."

"The person who took me away was very nice to me at first, but then something happened and he didn't want me anymore. But I can't remember exactly what happened."

"Later, my master took me from that man's hands."

"My master taught me to read and write, and passed on his swordsmanship. Those were probably the happiest days of my life."

"But later, my master also left..."

Felix visibly became frustrated.

“My master said he had something very important to do. Before he left, he left me a package containing a map to St. Freya Academy, which is why I’ve been searching for this place.”

Wiener gently patted Felix's head, trying to offer him some comfort in this way.

However, this action seemed to open a floodgate, and Felix's tears flowed out like a burst dam.

"I originally thought that as long as I performed well in the academy, my master might hear about my achievements and come back to me after he finished his work."

“But I’m also afraid, afraid that by the time my master returns, I’ll have forgotten her too.” Felix’s voice choked with emotion.

"I finally made some friends, but I became even more afraid. I'm afraid that in the end, I'll forget about Vena and Lisette too."

“You didn’t actually do anything wrong,” Wiener comforted her.

"Then who's wrong?!" Felix immediately retorted.

At times like these, right and wrong are no longer so important.

More importantly, it helped Felix to completely release the emotions he had suppressed for so long.

"...It must be that guy who gave you away to someone else!"

"That guy is a piece of scum, a beast, worse than a pig or a dog! If I ever run into him, I'll definitely make him pay!" Vena said indignantly.

Chapter 148 Custom-Made Twin Blades

At this point in the conversation, Wiener had lost the will to continue asking questions.

Felix's genuine emotions, coupled with his pitiful demeanor, would likely leave only the most hardened heart unmoved.

Besides, as Felix said, it's not like joining the Silver Wolf Class means we'll never see each other again.

Compared to classmates in the same grade, roommates are generally closer.

But those are things for later. The immediate priority is to figure out how to appease Felix, who is in a fit of rage.

"Without him, I wouldn't exist, and I wouldn't have met my master and you all."

Felix rubbed his face with Viner's coat to wipe away his tears, trying hard to control his emotions.

"I just can't accept that I've completely forgotten something so important."

"If I forget you all in the future, will you leave me too?"

"That depends on you." Viner took off her coat and wrapped it around Felix's face, then casually wiped away his tears.

"If you're sure you'll forget, I'll remember for you. Then I'll tell you everything you missed, bit by bit."

“As long as you don’t choose to leave on your own, I don’t mind taking in another adopted son.”

"...I bring you food every day, how come you've never called me godfather?"

"You still owe me a unique sword, and I can't let you renege on your debt so easily."

Felix shoved Viner aside, revealing his head from under his clothes; he was clearly in much better shape.

The unique "father-son relationship" in the male dormitory instantly lightened the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

“If you still want to retrieve those memories, there is someone who might know something,” Venere said.

"Can you help me find a master?" Felix asked expectantly.

"No."

“Then who else could know?” Felix said, dissatisfied.

“Jessica’s teacher. After all, it was her decision not to allow you to join the Silver Wolf Class. There must be some connection between these things,” Viner explained.

“...Um, do we really have to beg that woman?” Felix said reluctantly.

It felt as if two little people were having a fierce battle inside his mind.

"Don't even think about it. Since I brought it up, I'll definitely be the one to solve it." Vena flicked Felix's forehead hard.

"Go and get some rest. You have things to do tomorrow."

"Okay. Here's your clothes back."

Felix returned his coat, which was covered in snot and tears, to Venus.

Ignoring Vena's twitching lips, he fled back to his room as if escaping.

"This guy...did he do this on purpose?"

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

After sending Felix back to his room, Viner was alone in the workshop selecting materials.

Although there was no chance to enter the dungeon in the short term, Vena didn't have many handy tools, so she always felt insecure.

Combat is indeed the best way for people to grow.

The third tier, which was originally beyond Vina's reach, seems to be less of a mystery after this dungeon adventure.

Hidden Edge and Snake Beak have accompanied him through many battles.

Although I've been taking good care of myself, I'm starting to feel the strain.

The plan to upgrade the weapons in his possession has now been put on the agenda by Wiener.

However, we still need to build Felix a suitable tool first.

After losing the blunt blade and the ultimate plank, Felix could only make do with the practice tools that Wiener had forged in his spare time.

After all, the two had an agreement that Felix could only use the weapons provided by Wiener.

Even if Felix himself didn't mind, this didn't align with Wiener's aesthetics.

A sword goes with a hero.

What's the difference between having Felix use those scrap metal pieces and watering a flower with cow dung?

It's an eyesore, so very eyesore.

While it wouldn't be impossible to lend the Thief's Armor directly to Felix, this armor is almost entirely tied to Mikazuki's identity, making it rather inconvenient to use.

Therefore, before crafting equipment for herself, Viña chose to prioritize Felix.

As for what to create, Viña had already figured it out.

With the furnace roaring, Wiener purified the selected ore and threw it into the furnace.

While controlling the furnace temperature, we also paid attention to the degree of melting of the ore. Once it was completely melted into one piece, we poured the pot into two pre-prepared molds.

With a hissing sound, the molten metal gradually solidified, and a pair of sword blanks began to take shape.

Felix was ambidextrous, and wielding two weapons simultaneously was not difficult for him.

When he was controlled by the Evil Eye before, he instinctively used the dual-wielding technique.

However, the swords used in dual-wielding are somewhat different from regular swords.

Dual-wielding style emphasizes speed, so it uses a shorter, lighter sword.

The heavy planing knife and the dull, long chopping knife are not suitable for use together.

This time, what Wiener is going to create is a sword specifically for dual-wielding.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two sword blanks continued to deform under Wiener's hammering.

He did not simply forge two perfectly symmetrical swords.

Two weapons with different characteristics that complement each other are clearly superior to a pair of swords that are simply copied and lack originality.

Wiener envisioned forging two short swords, one long and one short.

Long swords are good for attacking, so they need to be thinner and sharper.

Short swords excel at defense, so they must possess both toughness and thickness.

After the two sword blanks had taken shape, Wiener took out a drill and drilled holes near the hilts.

Felix is ​​indeed a genius, but only in swordsmanship.

When it comes to magical talent, he's about on par with Venerable.

Both are ignorant of magic, which makes them vulnerable when facing enemies with spellcasting abilities.

A single human immobilization spell is enough to turn two people into wooden stakes.

Even if you have enough sword to slice off the other person's head, you still have to get close to them first, right?

But people can always come up with a solution.

Since we know that only magic can defeat magic, then we should try both.

While having Anna help him acquire some magical items to increase magic resistance, he was also adding ingredients to the newly forged weapons.

After all, although Vena couldn't cast a single spell, the weapons he forged were not subject to this restriction.

The mercury sword that Veneres crafted for Lisette was one of his attempts.

However, the Mercury Sword was a magic sword specifically forged for mages like Lisette, emphasizing the flexibility of spells.

It took Venerer a lot of effort to create this effect of storing selectable spells in temporary spell slots.

This time it's being built for Felix, so it's much simpler.

Simply embed the solidified magic gems into the weapon, and inject magic essence to activate them.

It simplifies the spell casting process and can also produce unexpected effects in actual combat.

Viner then inlaid the two gems he had selected beforehand into the sword blank.
