The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"The college is like my own home. Why would I need to submit a report to go back to my own home?"

“That’s sophistry,” Wiener retorted strongly.

Time goes back to one minute ago.

Even without the Lisette incident, Jessica would still come to Vina.

If a boy wants to go to the girls' dormitory, he not only has to endure layers of questioning from the dormitory manager, but also has to endure strange looks along the way.

But the opposite is true. Even the dorm supervisors who are usually so strict that they don't even allow takeout food in will turn a blind eye at this time, and casually remark that this is youth.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jessica used teleportation to arrive at Vina's dormitory.

The coordinates were provided on the letter of authorization that Viña had left at Anna's shop.

The special fluctuations generated by the teleportation technique caused Wiener to reflexively draw his sword.

By the time Wiener realized what was happening, he had already broken free from that mysterious state.

In short, he couldn't stop himself.

Jessica had intended to take the blow head-on to see just how skilled her junior, who liked to work hard behind the scenes, really was.

But just as she was about to be struck, Jessica suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if she could see herself being cut in half.

Between a whim and intuition, Jessica trusts the latter more.

Jessica dodged the attack and instantly appeared behind Venus, stomping Venus, who was bending down to draw his sword, to the ground.

That's why we have this scene now.

Venus lay sprawled on the ground, his cleaver, which he had been holding, had somehow flown off and was now embedded in the ground. Jessica, meanwhile, casually placed one foot on Venus's trapezius muscle and the other on his spine, one hand supporting her chin, seemingly deep in thought.

That doesn't make sense. That sword technique might be a trump card for freshmen, but in my eyes it's just a novel move. There's no reason it should make me feel threatened.

Even without relying on strength to directly confront the opponent, one can easily come up with more than ten ways to resolve the situation.

So the problem isn't with swordsmanship, but rather—

Jessica's gaze shifted to the dull cleaver that had fallen to the side.

"Um, it was wrong of me to disturb you by acting rashly, senior. I apologize. So there's no need to reward me any further."

Circumstances dictate that one must yield, and Wiener had no choice but to comply.

"Tsk, I didn't expect my junior to have such a perverted hobby."

Despite her disgusted expression, Jessica jumped off Vina immediately.

No matter how soft a girl's feet are, the heels of her shoes are harder than her heart.

Jessica wasn't heavy, and her shoes were just ordinary low heels, yet she managed to make Venus almost unable to breathe.

With this release, Venus was able to slowly get up from the ground and put on a shirt.

Of course, Viner couldn't possibly be the kind of pervert who would get excited if someone stepped on him, but after several encounters, he realized something.

If you plan to do something in front of this senior, never go along with her. Otherwise, you'll only fall into her trap step by step.

“Let’s leave what happened there. But your behavior does constitute trespassing. If you can’t give me a reasonable excuse, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to leave.” Viner dusted herself off.

When you straighten your posture, you speak with confidence.

"An excuse? Does Junior Viner really not want to see me?"

A fabricated reason is an excuse. Asking Jessica to find an excuse already implies a concession.

"I just feel that there are differences between men and women. It's a bit inappropriate for a senior like me to go into a strange male student's dormitory without saying hello," Viner said seriously.

"So, did I delay you in some way, junior? Oh, let me see... a Water Slime from the Merchant Guild. Before I arrived, were you perhaps—"

Jessica found herself holding the box that Venere used to store slimes.

"These are just experimental materials." Wiener appeared unmoved on the surface, but inwardly he was already cursing.

First Felix, then Jessica, running into other people's houses and stealing things without warning—are you guys protagonists from some RPG game?

"Then I'm relieved. After all, judging from the way he looks, he didn't sleep last night."

Lisette only looked slightly tired, but Jessica noticed something was wrong. Viner's dark circles, as deep as a panda's, were a clear indication that he hadn't slept at all.

"The weapons and equipment I might use after forging."

Jessica nodded, acknowledging Viner's statement. She then placed the box on the table and took a piece of parchment from her pocket.

"I don't need any extra excuse to come here. After all, the person who commissioned this letter of authorization is Wiener, isn't he? I'm just here to fulfill the commission."

"...Senior sister probably wouldn't be interested in a weapon of this caliber, would she?" Veins bulged on Viner's forehead.

Even with a custom weapon, the D-rank is far too low-end for Jessica. It's fine for casual play, but it wouldn't last long in a fight against someone of similar skill level.

Viner naively believed that the commission had been taken over by Baal, but unexpectedly, someone else intercepted it halfway through.

"Can't I have a weapon made by Vena?" Jessica retorted.

You want everything, you're Felix too, right?

"Or you could sell this sword to the senior. If junior Vina feels it's too much of a loss, we can discuss it another way. Five hundred credits? One thousand credits? As long as the junior is willing to name a price."

Jessica pointed to the blunt blade and the hidden dagger, revealing the secret.

“I promised to give this sword to someone else.” Venere walked to the blade, pulled it from the ground, put it back in its sheath, and then placed it on the weapon rack.

He rejected Jessica's offer without hesitation, just as he used Felix as a shield without hesitation.

"Is that so? I do envy that classmate." Jessica nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

Judging from her attention to the people around Wiener, it's not hard to guess who Wiener promised to.

"However, I'd like to remind Wiener."

"what?"

“It’s fine if this sword is only used in the dungeon. Unless your life is threatened, you must never point that sword at your classmates in the academy,” Jessica said suddenly with a serious expression.

If the blunt blade that makes her feel threatened were used in the arena, and something unexpected happened, even the teacher acting as the referee might not be able to come to her rescue in time.

This was the most serious Jessica had ever been to Vina.

"...I've written it down."

Chapter 84 Gundraf: Your name has the word "weapon" in it, right?

"Sigh, with the help of this sword, Vena should be able to reach the third level of the dungeon very easily. The difficulty setting is still too low."

Upon receiving the reply, Jessica immediately reverted to her familiar demeanor as Vina.

"Ten or eight times would be more like it," Viner said irritably.

The cleaver is sharp enough, but it is also too rigid and easily broken. If used carelessly without restraint, it will probably break before it reaches halfway.

The area of ​​the second level of the dungeon is more than five times larger than that of the first level.

"Can't junior Viner do it?"

"Of course not."

No two leaves in the world are exactly alike, and even Venerable could not forge two identical weapons.

"What a pity," Jessica said regretfully. "So, what kind of weapon is Junior Viner planning to custom-make for me?"

"...Could I see the weapon that senior used before?"

Seeing that Jessica didn't seem to be joking, Viner cautiously spoke up.

Customized weapons need to be developed based on the user's habits and needs.

Adjusting the weapon to match the opponent's preferred weapon is obviously a quicker approach.

"sure."

Jessica waved her hand gently, and a golden spirit sword appeared out of thin air, hovering in the air with its tip pointing to the ground.

The fourth-circle spell to summon a spirit weapon is an advanced version of the second-circle spell for magical weapons that Lisette once cast.

It is considered a relatively niche creative energy manipulation spell.

The summoned spirit weapons can be used for hand-held combat or to launch attacks on opponents individually.

For a mage with a melee-oriented mindset, this is the most suitable fourth-circle spell.

Aside from durability being affected by the caster's magic power, the base stats are no lower than those of a C-rank weapon.

Jessica's mastery of the spirit weapon was quite high. Although it didn't have the various characteristics of a physical weapon, its base stats were not far off from those of a B-rank weapon.

"So what exactly do you need a D-rank weapon for? You can't just keep it as a collectible, can you?"

Viner flicked the golden longsword in front of him and couldn't help but complain.

He should have noticed this sooner.

Jessica, the top student in the academy, is not a pure swordsman, even though her name is still registered at the Fighting Academy.

Her true form is that of a magic swordsman skilled in both magic and martial arts.

But he failed to notice the subtle change that flashed across Jessica's eyes.

A hint of unease seemed to flash in Jessica's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

“A D-rank weapon probably won’t be of much help to me, but can’t Junior Brother Vina forge a higher-rank one?” Jessica asked, feigning indifference.

“Oh, of course. But—” Viner raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, “it’ll cost extra.”

You get what you pay for; exchanging 100 credits for a D-rank custom weapon is barely acceptable.

Going any higher, that's not enough.

Wiener doesn't do business at a loss.

"As long as I'm satisfied, there will be a generous reward."

Fun fact: Jessica, who can enter and exit the deepest dungeons seven times without relying on family background or other external support, is the biggest hidden rich girl among the students.

Of course, when it comes to background, Jessica isn't afraid of anything.

Because the entire St. Freya Academy is Jessica's background.

“You said it yourself.” With a positive response, Vena grabbed the golden longsword that Jessica had summoned without hesitation and examined it closely in her hand.

If the previous actions might have been just a misperception, then Vina's move completely caught Jessica off guard.

Spirit weapons are nominally a higher-level spell derived from magical weapons, but the two are fundamentally different.

Magical weapons are buff spells, and spellcasters in fixed teams often master this spell to cooperate with their teammates.

But spirit weapons are different.

It is a niche summoning spell, and the summoned spirit weapon can only be used by the caster.

Anyone who touches it will be rejected by the spirit weapon.

If the caster harbors malicious intent, severely injuring the victim is only a matter of a single thought.

Spirit weapons are among the most powerful and have the greatest potential in fourth-circle spells, but because they cannot be summoned for use by others, they are essentially useless spells.

There are many people who have the power to shatter spirit weapons, but Jessica has only ever seen one example of someone who dares to reach out and grab another person's summoned spirit weapon without being affected: Venus.

Jessica's mastery of swordsmanship and spirit weapons has reached an extremely high level. When she holds a spirit weapon, it feels like an extension of her arm, and even when it leaves her body, it can be regarded as part of her body.

She could sense that the connection between the spirit weapon and herself had not been severed, yet it lay docilely in Venere's hand like a lamb.

Not only that, when Venere gently stroked the longsword, Jessica could almost feel the subtle touch, as if Venere's hand was gently caressing her skin, making her feel somewhat agitated.

"Well, isn't that enough?" Jessica couldn't help but ask.

"I've got a pretty good idea of ​​the specifications. Now it's up to you to see if you have any special needs."

As Vena released his grip, the spirit sword automatically floated around him in a circle.

Spirit weapons are formed from magical energy, so there is no concept of traces of use.

Even without deliberate adjustment, as the spellcaster uses it continuously, it will gradually take on the form that is most convenient for the spellcaster.

Although it no longer allows the user to gain experience and memories the moment they touch the weapon, as before, Wiener already knows its specifications and dimensions by heart.
