The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Donny did not back down. He knew that only by getting within a meter of Felix could he deprive him of the space to swing his gun again and decide the outcome.

Therefore, without stopping, he quickly put his sword behind his back with his right hand, attempting to use the blade to block the swift counterattack.

"Snapped!"

What happened next shocked Doni.

The spear shaft struck the sword, and although the rapier did its best to block the impact, the immense force transmitted from the spear caused it to crack instantly.

Doni originally intended to parry the attack, then quickly withdraw his rapier and point it at Felix's fair neck, declaring victory with a dashing air.

However, all he could hold in his hand at that moment was a lonely sword hilt, and the scene became awkward.

"I surrender!"

Doni decisively threw the sword hilt on the ground, abandoning his sword and admitting defeat.

Chapter 34 Felix's Sales Promotion Effect

"The winner is Felix."

The referee, who is also a teacher, announced this.

He had anticipated this result.

Perhaps Doni felt it was just a little short, but the essence of spearmanship lies in distance control, and the core of distance control depends on a balanced and flexible footwork.

All night long, no one could even get Felix to move an inch.

This is the difference.

There are probably a few students in the first year who can suppress Felix with their crests, but it would be very difficult to find a student who can compete with him purely in terms of skill.

After announcing the results, the teacher left the stage to the students and then left.

The low-level matches all day really stung his eyes.

Matches where the outcome is obvious at a glance are even more boring.

Not all teachers enjoy watching inexperienced teachers fight amongst themselves.

If it were a Mithril-level competition, even without a supervisor, many teachers would put aside their own affairs to come and pay attention.

Unfortunately, most students who reach this ranking have multiple jobs and don't care about the meager reward for winning matches, so they might not even get to play two matches a month.

“Although I lost this time, I will challenge you again next time,” Donnie said.

"Uh, maybe we should just forget it. You can't beat me," Felix said quite bluntly.

"This time I only suffered from the weaponry, but next time it might be different!"

Although they lost the game, they still wanted to save face verbally.

“I will prepare better weapons and will never lose to the spear in your hand.”

Donnie hadn't practiced much with opponents who used guns, but he wasn't completely unfamiliar with guns.

The steel guns sold in blacksmith shops have shafts as hard as iron rods; none of them can leave afterimages like this.

“Actually, I can introduce you to its forger.” Felix hadn’t forgotten his promise to help Vena advertise it after she won.

"You're pitying me, are you giving me charity?" Donnie was completely unmoved.

“No, I really didn’t mean that…” Felix didn’t understand why the other person would misunderstand to this extent.

"I will definitely come back." Donnie said his last words and then jumped off the ring.

"Hey beautiful, if he doesn't want you, could you introduce us to him?"

There are still discerning people in the audience.

"Great!" Seeing that he could potentially complete Vina's mission, Felix's mood immediately improved, and he introduced the task to the audience with a smile.

"This ash wood spear was crafted by Vina, a first-year student at the Combat Academy. The shaft is made of ash wood, and the spearhead is forged from refined iron..."

Having participated in some of the preparations, I found the presentation quite easy.

To demonstrate the weapon's superiority, Felix even performed a special gun-flicking routine.

Her stunning beauty, coupled with her graceful figure during her energetic performance, captivated many viewers.

After a sword dance, Felix was drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

Keep in mind that he barely broke a sweat when he defeated Donny.

"another one."

"Yes, perform one more!"

The students in the audience started to jeer.

"Uh... then this really can only be the last time, okay?" Felix couldn't resist the audience's enthusiastic requests and performed again.

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

The day after Felix achieved a brilliant ten-match winning streak in ranking tournaments, two names began to circulate among the new students.

First, of course, is the beautiful, sweet-voiced, and exceptionally talented freshman, Felix. His post-match performance last night became a hot topic of discussion.

The other is the mysterious blacksmith, Venere, mentioned by Felix.

Felix is ​​highly recognizable; his unique beauty and gentle temperament make him unforgettable at first sight.

He has a good personality and a kind temper. If we happen to meet him on campus, he will always respond warmly to everyone who greets him.

But that's about it.

If this person has any further intention of being impolite, an ordinary senior student from the Alchemy Institute who happens to be passing by will immediately appear next to Felix to teach him what gentlemanly manners are.

It was absolutely not a deliberate act of tailing; it was simply to protect the personal safety of the alchemy academy's most beautiful girl.

There are occasional rumors circulating on campus that Felix is ​​a boy.

But Vina's identity is shrouded in mystery.

Apart from a few insiders, most people know nothing about him.

Not many first-graders handled guns; most were only curious about them.

However, since riding lessons were introduced for second-year students, the number of students using guns was no less than the number using swords.

Those with slightly stronger initiative have already gone to the first-year dormitories at the Fighting Academy.

"Excuse me, do you know where Wiener's dorm room is?"

Dalaha, a second-year student, was in need of a suitable long spear, so he came to the first-year dormitory.

When he arrived at the dormitory gate, a student was standing at the door.

Five credits.

The student spoke casually, immediately launching into a transaction.

"for you."

Knowing full well that you have to give something in return for something in return, Dalahawu did not hesitate to take out his credit card and transfer five credits to the other party.

Aside from a few students who lack ability but spend their credits extravagantly, five credits are really not much for a second-year student.

"I don't know," the student replied.

"Then you still dare to ask me for five credits?" Dalaha said angrily.

"Because I was also cheated out of five credits in the same way," the student said calmly.

"If you feel this is a loss, I can give you this spot. You can wait here for the next person to come."

As he spoke, he took two steps outside, clearing space at the doorway, and then gestured for Dalahawubi to enter.

"Never mind, I'll just go in and ask myself." Seeing how straightforward the other party was, Dalahau gave up on pursuing the matter.

I'm a sophomore, after all. It would be too embarrassing to do something like this for a mere five credits if word got out.

"Go ahead," the student said without objection.

Dalahau was about to go in, but then he became suspicious and turned back to the student, asking, "Did you go in and ask?"

"Yes."

"We've asked around, but we still don't know where it is?"

"Correct."

"You're not a first-year student, are you?!" Dalahau roared angrily.

He finally realized what was happening.

Based on past experience, the highest level a first-year student can reach is the third rank.

Mages below the third rank lack the ability to chant quickly, putting them at a significant disadvantage in ranked matches.

Only a very small number of students from the Magic Academy will attempt ranked tournaments before their second year.

As for the Alchemy Institute, participating in ranking tournaments was, in their view, a complete waste of time.

Even when testing alchemical equipment, other students would do it for them if it only cost a little credit.

The only first-year student who could ask Wiener to help forge a weapon would be someone from the Fighting Academy.

But if they are students in the same department and year, even if they don't know, they should at least know who to ask to find out.

Having figured this out, Dalahau stared intently at the other person's face and finally noticed something amiss.

The other person was wearing a disguise mask made by the Alchemy Institute.

Although it's not difficult to recognize someone if you look closely, you can only see that they've hidden their face, not their true identity beneath the mask.

These masks were originally designed for older students to use in ranking tournaments.

We've been classmates for years, seeing each other all the time, and we know each other very well. If we don't hold back before the game, all sorts of targeted tactics will emerge.

"Tsk, you big oaf actually saw through me, how embarrassing." Seeing that he had been exposed, the student didn't hesitate to run away.

"Damn it, don't run!" Dalahau chased after him frantically.

If he were tricked by a first-year student, he could still convince himself that he was supporting his juniors.

But being fooled by a classmate is a serious matter that concerns one's reputation.

Today, Dalahau will definitely tear off his mask and see the true face of this scoundrel.

Chapter 35 Fan Groups

The first-year students at the Combat Academy probably don't even know how many uninvited guests showed up in their dormitories today.

However, this is not surprising, since even the first-year students of the Fighting Academy are looking for this classmate.

The semester has only been going on for two days at most, and even students from the Fighting Academy may have only heard the name but not actually know the person.

The only impression he left was that he answered Mr. Slav's question during class.

After searching for a long time, the group of people realized that this person did not live in the academy dormitory at all.

The smarter ones found the second-year students who had assigned dormitories to the new students of the Combat Academy, and learned that Vener's dormitory was in the Alchemy Academy, but they didn't know which room it was.

However, the Alchemy Institute dormitory is not easy to enter these days.

"I'm from the school newspaper and I'd like to interview Felix. Could you tell me which dormitory room Felix lives in?"

"Felix isn't in the dorm, please go back. If you're looking for him, you can try your luck at the arena."

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

...

"I'm a fan of Felix, and I have a gift I'd like to give him. Could you tell me what it is?"

"Fans, please register your gifts over there. Please don't disturb Felix's normal life, thank you."

...

"I'm here to see Wiener, can you let me in now?"

"What's his dorm room number? I'll tell him to come out."
