The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Keeping his body dry at this time actually reduces the burden on his body.

This gives his body enough time to improve and adapt, so it can naturally accommodate more magic elements.

"So, do you have any ideas?" Felix continued to ask.

“I’m still thinking about it,” Jessica replied.

If you're a mage, it's quite simple to do this.

Simply select a spell that relies on continuous magic infusion to maintain its effect, adjust its scale, and ensure that the rate of magic consumption always exceeds its recovery. It's only a matter of time before the magic in the body is depleted.

Ayame is looking for a spell that requires a constant infusion of magic essence to maintain. As long as the consumption is faster than the recovery, there will eventually be a moment when the magic essence in her body is exhausted.

Repeating this process several times not only gradually clears away excess magic energy accumulated in the body, but also hones one's spellcasting skills in the process.

This is precisely the kind of spiritual practice that Listy has been undergoing.

Jessica scheduled all of Listi's special training after the ranking matches so that she could push her to her limit without any scruples.

Listi's mastery of casting spells beyond her level is just one of the gains she has made.

But it's not so convenient for warriors who focus more on physical abilities.

Just like you need to burn sugar to lose weight.

Warriors typically expend physical strength first, and only when their bodies begin to tire do they begin to consume magic energy. They use the time spent consuming magic energy to restore their physical strength, thus forming a closed loop.

This also leads to high-level warriors having increasingly exaggerated endurance; as long as their weapons can hold up, they can fight for three days and three nights without any problem.

Felix is ​​able to take on ten opponents in a single race in a ranked car race because the maximum number of races a day is ten.

Even with the Thief's Blade Armor, Viner could only take on five opponents because he simply couldn't keep up with his stamina.

To consume large amounts of magic essence, one can only rely on special skills, or perhaps—

“It’s a pity that Vena’s emblems are the type that don’t consume much magic energy,” Felix said.

He knows Wiener very well.

While others use their coats of arms as a trump card, Wiener uses them as a regular weapon.

Gondoraf used the durability loss of his weapons to replace the vast majority of his mana consumption.

It's not that there's no way to deplete the magic energy within Vena's body by activating the emblem.

It's just a somewhat useless weapon.

"This is a bit of a headache," Jessica said with a sigh.

Should we go to the library to find a skill that Vena can learn that consumes a lot of magic energy; or should we look for a restraining magical item that can suppress magic energy intake?

She hasn't made up her mind yet.

"How did you solve this problem back then, senior?" Felix suddenly asked.

Before entering the academy, Jessica was just an ordinary person with no background.

In less than three years, he broke through from the first rank to the seventh rank, an astonishing speed of advancement.

“Me?” Jessica pointed to herself.

"My method is a bit difficult to talk about."

……

"This thing is no use to you now, you might as well save it for Jessica to eat."

"This will be of some use to you; you and Jessica can each have half."

"That stuff will help Jessica build a solid foundation. Go and remember to find it for me."

……

Jessica recalled her experience from back then.

You can't exactly say that when you were young, your teacher forced you to follow a hero around and eat leftovers for three years, can you?

The hero Arios seems to be blessed with good fortune from birth; he can find rare and precious herbs even when he just goes out for a casual stroll.

However, as his strength increased, most of those elixirs lost their effectiveness and ended up benefiting Jessica.

Besides slaying the demon, Jessica can do what the hero did back then, but the same method doesn't work on Venus.

His body is currently too weak to tolerate any tonics; elixirs are practically poison to him.

"Let's try anything, no matter what. I've written a prescription; you're in charge of making sure he takes it on time and see if it works. I'll think of other solutions after that."

"But you don't need to worry too much. The worst-case scenario is that we just have to hold on until my teacher comes back. This little thing won't be a problem for her."

In Jessica's eyes, her teacher was omnipotent.

“But you also need to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn’t do anything that could harm his health,” Jessica warned.

The wound on Vina's hand healed quickly, and it was almost indistinguishable from the outside, but it couldn't fool Jessica's eyes.

“I will,” Felix nodded in agreement.

"This is the prescription and instructions for getting in and out of here. I'll leave it here; you can keep it safe yourself later." Jessica left the two pieces of paper on the poolside platform, along with her clothes.

“Why not tell Wiener the truth and see if he has any solutions?” Felix said.

"Relying on this kid... isn't impossible. It's just that I can't say that to him."

"why?"

"This kid has a bit of a prejudice against me. The more I tell him not to do something, the more he does it anyway."

“That’s only because you were too forceful. Vener’s personality is actually more responsive to gentle persuasion than force,” Felix couldn’t help but defend Vener.

Perhaps Felix himself didn't even realize that he had changed his way of addressing Jessica from "that woman" back to "senior".

"So I wasn't angry, was I? The Silver Wolf Class doesn't need spineless cowards," Jessica laughed.

He then prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, Felix spoke again.

"You knew about me before, didn't you?"

"Yes."

Chapter 157 What if forging could be addictive?

She greeted Lisette, who was still in the library, searching through cases to find solutions.

Felix then carried Wiener back to his dormitory.

Wiener was sleeping very soundly, and the bumpy ride did not wake him up.

Having temporarily let go of his inner turmoil, he slept soundly until the vast night outside his window was filled with darkness.

"Goo-"

After nearly twelve hours without food, Venere's stomach began to rumble.

"very hungry."

The cravings in her stomach awakened Vina.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing the familiar ceiling, Venus knew that Felix had dragged her back again.

When Via was overcome by her cravings, her first thought was to ask someone to invite her to dinner.

“Felix! Let’s go out to eat! Swipe your card,” Viner shouted loudly to the next room.

It's okay to miss a meal.

But after being hungry, you always need to eat a good meal to make up for it.

The reason? Let's just say it's to celebrate breaking through to the third-tier emblem user.

After a while, Felix's voice came from the other side.

"Don't even think about it! Are you planning to waste the dinner I brought you back?!"

"That doesn't exist. I guarantee I'll take care of it completely!"

Vena sprang up from the bed in a flash.

Seeing that Felix was becoming more and more like a sweet and considerate daughter, Viña was very pleased.

Unfortunately, he was a boy, so we had to keep him and adopt him as our son.

It wasn't until Vena saw the dinner Felix had brought him that things changed.

"You unfilial son!" Wiener roared.

"Is it wrong for me to bring you food?" Felix happened to walk out of his dormitory and confronted Viner face to face.

"Look what you brought!"

"Stewed cabbage, pickled seafood and vegetables, roasted onions..."

"Stop, I didn't ask you to recite the names of the dishes."

Wiener interrupted Felix.

"Where's the meat? People need to eat meat, not just grass. Has the academy fallen into such a financial crisis that the cafeteria is only serving vegetarian dishes?"

“I didn’t recite the menu, okay? I was reading a prescription. Look.” Felix pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket.

"I don't believe it. I've never seen a menu used as a prescription."

As Wiener unfolded the piece of paper, she casually asked, "By the way, who wrote this? Dr. Ada?"

"Jessica."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing that Jessica had opened the shop, Viner tore the paper into pieces without even glancing at it.

"That woman must be trying to kill me."

Fortunately, Felix was prepared and took out two more pieces of paper, handing them to Wiener.

“Running away won’t solve the problem. Jessica said that although your total magic power has broken through to the third level, your physical fitness has completely stagnated. The sudden increase in magic power will only put a burden on your body.”

"Most of the meat dishes in the cafeteria have the effect of replenishing magic energy. So you have to limit your intake of them for a while."

"Restricting your intake to less, doesn't mean you shouldn't eat anything at all, right?"

When the note was handed to him again, Wiener finally managed to resist tearing it up.

The first one is a very common student schedule, which, in addition to going to bed early and waking up early, only includes a two-hour soak in a hot spring.

The second image is the backup of the menu that Wiener had previously torn up.

After reading it, Wiener reluctantly made a concession.

"Aren't there fish on it?"

If there's really no meat available, fish will count as meat.

“Sure, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow. It’s not possible today anyway. You didn’t eat anything for lunch, so you’ll only be able to eat something light for dinner,” Felix explained.

Having realized that Felix had become a complete traitor, Wiener had no choice but to seek other solutions.

"...I'm going to find Lisette."

"It's no use. I've already spoken to Lisette. I'll be in charge of your meals during this time. Don't expect her to give you any special treatment."

Felix extinguished Wiener's last glimmer of hope.

"Oh right, I haven't played my ranking match today yet," Viner thought of another excuse.

Once you get out of this door, you can always find a way.

"You don't need to worry about that. I took your student ID and went to fight for you while wearing the Thief's Armor."

Felix did everything perfectly to keep Venus in line.

"I'll keep your student card for you for now. Although there aren't many credits left on it, I know how capable Wiener is."

He even stripped Wiener of his only means of payment within the academy.

"Looks like I have no choice but to eat it?"
