The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Most people's impression of Jessica is limited to her beauty and ability, but they don't know that she also has remarkable skills in medicine.

"Senior, how's it going?"

Listy was even more nervous than waiting for her medical test results.

"It's even worse than I expected," Jessica said, looking at the data in her hand and rubbing her forehead.

"His qi and blood are depleted, and his spirit is weak. I've only ever seen this condition in the most dissolute nobles. How did this young man get his body into such a state?"

Jessica was completely baffled by Vina's sudden coma.

Her original intention was to guide Viner to learn the method of inner vision, but she did not expect that even such a small amount of sword intent would be too much for his body to bear.

It did take Wiener only a moment to understand the essence of "Sword Heart Clarity", but his subsequent coma was also real.

This was a warning signal from his body.

“Vina is not that kind of person!” Liz said, dissatisfied.

“I know, that’s why it doesn’t make sense. Weina has more secrets than you think, and it’s not just one or two things she’s keeping from us.”

"When he first enrolled, he was just a beginner as a emblem user. How long has it been and he has already reached the third level?"

"...This means that Vena is exceptionally talented, but her talents were wasted in the village before?" Listi guessed in a low voice.

“Then I’ll just say he was born with superhuman strength. But the problem we face now is that the total amount of magic energy in his body has far exceeded the limit that his body can contain.”

There are too many factors that influence the strength of a Crest Envoy, and it would be endless to break them down into specifics.

Therefore, the strength of a Crest Envoy is often judged based on their total magic power.

But humans are not like monsters.

There is a limit to the amount of magic energy that the physical body can contain.

Once that boundary is crossed, it will place a great burden on the body.

Although Viner was on the verge of becoming a third-tier emblem user, her physical abilities were even inferior to some first-tier emblem users with better foundations.

That's quite dangerous.

Chapter 155 is a little slower.

For the first ten years or so before the Awakening Crest, Vena was just an ordinary blacksmith.

Without any renowned mentors or any special opportunities, he could only spend his days holed up in the blacksmith's shop, living the life of a shut-in.

But Gondorav is in no way inferior to any top-tier coat of arms.

After awakening, even if Vena lies still, the total amount of magic energy in her body will continue to increase.

If that's all there is to it, it's not so bad.

Since entering the academy, Viner has been forging Enlightened Weapons at an unprecedented frequency.

She was bleeding heavily several times a week; no one could withstand that.

Especially during the time he forged the thief's sword and armor, he bled so much that the person went into shock.

The nutrients that the emblem provides to the body are all intercepted halfway to replenish the deficiency of qi and blood.

This caused Vina's physical strength and total magic power to fluctuate wildly, creating a perfect closed loop of a vicious cycle.

The King's Saw, forged from the fuel of the soul, within Vena's body, is about to become the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

Others stagnate because their cultivation level is not high enough to control more magical elements.

But this person insisted on doing the opposite. Taking advantage of a moment when his body wasn't paying attention, his swordsmanship level, fueled by demonic energy, surged rapidly.

Within Vina, the Sword Heart Clarity was like an insatiable energy ring, completely disregarding whether her frail body could digest it.

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

"What should we do then? Should we find him some medicinal herbs to nourish him?"

Lisette seemed somewhat at a loss, as if she were desperately seeking any solution.

"No need. Although this kid's body is battered and bruised, it's barely maintaining a delicate balance. If we give him any more strong medicine now, we might just kill him."

“We need to think of other ways, but more importantly, we need to find the root of the problem,” Jessica said, rejecting Lisette’s suggestion.

“I’m afraid that even if Wiener knows about his situation, he will try to find a solution in secret and won’t want to tell us.”

Lisette seems to understand Vina quite well in this respect.

“Then let’s not ask him. Go and fetch Felix,” Jessica said decisively.

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

In the bath.

"No, explain yourself clearly, how am I a patient?"

It was because she had looked inside her own body that Vener was even more convinced that her physical condition had improved considerably compared to her time in Lumiel Village.

Even if they seem a little tired, it's just due to anemia and staying up late; at worst, they'll just need to catch up on some sleep.

But he never considered that comparing a third-tier emblem user with a blacksmith on a scale would be enough to illustrate the point.

“Jessica said that your frequent fainting spells are caused by a deficiency of qi and blood. They don’t know the details, but do you think I don’t know?”

"Tell me, how much blood did you secretly bleed out during the forging process, day and night?" Felix questioned.

"A small cup?" Viner asked uncertainly.

He wasn't so perverted as to use a graduated container to collect his own blood, and he relied entirely on his sense of how much blood he released.

"Is that all?" Felix asked again.

"It shouldn't exceed one bowl."

Wiener could only make a rough deduction based on his memory of the dizziness he felt when he lost blood last night.

"Even vampires know to sustain themselves with a slow and steady approach to nourishing their blood. Do you really not value your life? Be careful you don't end up bedridden and unable to move when you're old."

If Felix had known that Vener was forged day and night in this way, he would have preferred that these two short swords never existed.

“I know my limits. I was used to this level of bleeding when I was in the village.”

Wiener tried to persuade Felix with his extensive experience.

Unexpectedly, Felix looked at him with pity.

"...Vina, have you lost too much blood? You're already talking nonsense. A normal person would have died long ago with this amount of blood loss."

Wiener was actually looked down upon by Felix for his common sense.

“But haven’t I lived a long and healthy life?” Viner tried to explain.

"Fine, even if you're not talking nonsense, where's the stuff?"

"The things are naturally—"

Wiener suddenly froze.

The fine sword from Yomovanbing Village is a testament to Viner's forging skills and was not enhanced by his blood.

Then, remove the few masterpieces that were given away.

Why can't I remember the rest of the weapons at all?

Behind the immense power of the Spirit Weapon lies a price that is likely far more than just a few liters of blood.

"Right?"

Seeing that Venus was speechless, Felix did not press his advantage, but instead offered gentle words of advice.

"So you should think less about other things right now, and it's best to give up some exercise for a while and get your body back in shape first."

"Isn't your main purpose in coming to the academy to become a hero? Senior Jessica also said that she would be back in a month or two at most, so just take a break and adjust yourself."

“The Wiener I know isn’t such an impatient person.”

Upon hearing this, Wiener fell into deep thought, and after a moment he nodded slightly, seemingly persuaded by Felix.

"...You're right."

The news that the hero's fate was unknown, and the fact that he dared not confide in anyone, put him under immense pressure.

So much so that he forgot that he had already traveled fast enough along the way.

In less than a month, he went from being a blacksmith in the village to a student at the highest university on the mainland.

He progressed from a novice Emblem Envoy to a third-tier Emblem Envoy.

Before Listy advanced to the fourth rank, the third rank was already the highest-ranking emblem user among the first-year students.

Not only that, he also successfully joined the Silver Wolf Class in such a short period of time.

If there were a ranking of the time it takes for new students to join the Silver Wolf Class, even including exceptional individuals like Arios who are directly invited by heroes, Venerer's speed would definitely be at the top.

He almost achieved the ultimate in what ordinary students can do.

So, going a little slower is fine, right?

With this in mind, Venere looked at the countdown again and felt much more at ease.

[1794 days remaining until the Demon God's resurgence]

If this countdown is true, then the Demon God has given himself five years to develop, so there's no need to rush for three to five days.

It took Jessica three years to gain the strength to fight the demon.

Even if it takes me two more years, five years should be enough.

The key point is that in such a long period of time, geniuses like Lisette and Felix will also grow and may not be worse than Jessica.

Four people sitting together at a table might not be any worse than a brave person.

And if this countdown is wrong, that would be even better.

This means the hero might still be alive, doesn't it?

Stick close to the strong player and play a support role from the back, that's a great option too.

This way, you'll have more time to do your own things.

For example, visiting the hometown that Lisette mentioned many times.

It also involves helping Felix get rid of his strange illness and finding the bastard who abandoned him.

"It's time to take a break."

As she spoke, Vena closed her eyes and leaned back in front of Felix.

He let the warm spring water completely envelop him.

Chapter 156 An Unspeakable Experience

"Still not awake? It seems the situation is more serious than I thought."

Jessica slowly approached the edge of the pool, staring unabashedly at Vina, who was lying flat on the surface of the water.

They don't care at all about the differences between men and women.

“Uh, no. Viner woke up once, but then fell asleep again,” Felix replied. “Should we wake him?”

"...He does have the demeanor of a junior." Jessica seemed to recall something and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let him sleep first, and remember to take him out after soaking for two hours."

While this hot spring has nourishing and restorative effects on the body, too much of a good thing can be bad; two hours a day is already the limit.

Rather than supplements, what Vina's body actually needs is nourishment.

"Is that all?" Felix asked.

"It's not that simple. We still need to find a way to deplete the excess magic energy in his body. Lisette is still over there researching."

Viner's situation is quite special; even in an unconscious state, she absorbs far more magic energy than she consumes.

If we compare his body to a balloon, then magic energy is the air inside. He focused solely on expanding his capacity while neglecting a solid foundation.

If it only takes in and doesn't give out, the balloon will grow bigger and bigger, and if this continues, it will inevitably face the risk of collapse.
