The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Realizing that his opponent was not easy to defeat, Baal slowed down the pace and prepared for a protracted battle.

Wiener could not accept such an ending.

The prolonged siege took a toll on Wiener's stamina.

It wasn't enough to put enough pressure on Barr, let alone make him reveal his weaknesses.

Just as Vena was caught in a dilemma, she suddenly realized that some of the moves Baal used looked quite familiar.

The spear technique he used had unknowingly transformed into the one that Relian had used in front of him.

If the previous performances were merely imitations without any props...

Now it seems like Wiener has found a perfect partner, which is a testament to their relationship.

Many things that were previously incomprehensible were answered at this moment.

Before long, the situation had turned around and Vena was dominating Bal.

Baal's expression finally changed, because the marksmanship that Venere had demonstrated was clearly...

"How do you know this marksmanship?"

Baal didn't try to lower his voice, but the intensity of their battle was enough to make the audience unable to hear the conversation.

"Of course, someone taught me. But who exactly are you?"

If before, Vena only suspected that Baal had a problem, now she was certain that the guy under that skin was definitely not Baal.

"Humph!"

It's clear that Barr couldn't answer such a question in public.

This set of gun techniques might be unbreakable for Baal, but he's different.

Baal made a downward strike, and Vena dodged it, but Baal's target was not Vena in the first place.

With a loud "thud," the axe blade slammed heavily onto the arena floor tiles.

It was as if the entire arena was shaking.

Having already exhausted most of her strength, Vena was naturally unable to dodge the attack as before, and her dodging steps could no longer be sustained.

Baal, who initiated the attack, remained completely unaffected, his battle axe flashing like lightning towards Vener's face.

"I surrender!"

Now that it has been confirmed that the opponent has a problem, there is no need for Wiener to put on a brave face. He concedes defeat before Bal can hit him.

Barr originally intended to continue pretending that he couldn't stop and teach Vena a heavy lesson, but Samif's gaze from the referee's stand was fixed on him like a hawk, bringing him an inexplicable pressure.

Under this pressure, Barr had no choice but to abandon his original plan.

"The victor is Baal!"

Samif announced the final outcome.

Scattered applause rang out from the stands.

When Viner switched guns midway through the match, other spectators below the ring were already drawn by the huge commotion.

People who applaud may not understand the intricacies of the game, but as long as it looks lively enough, isn't that enough?

"The No. 7 arena is severely damaged and is temporarily out of service."

After announcing the news, Samif was the first to leave, seemingly to contact the teachers at the Magic Academy to repair the arena.

Viner sheathed his gun and sword, and closed the weapon case. Although he was extremely exhausted from the battle, he had not suffered many injuries and could continue to participate in the next match after a short rest.

After checking his student ID and confirming that the venue for the next match had not changed, he began to leave through the exit tunnel.

Seeing this, Barr followed at a distance.

Lisette vaguely sensed something was wrong and was about to follow when someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the hand and attempted a grappling move, but was freed halfway through.

"Don't worry, don't worry! It's me, Felix." Felix lifted a small part of the mask, revealing the lower half of his face, and said softly.

"How come it's you?" Lisette released her hand, puzzled.

“Vina has things to do and specifically asked me to stop you.”

Felix closed the alchemical mask and shook the student card in his hand.

When Viner took out her student card, it wasn't just to confirm the upcoming show; she also sent a message to Felix, asking him to stop Lisette from getting close to the exit.

As for why it wasn't sent directly to Lisette...

It's because Venere knows that someone as opinionated as Lisette will become more curious the more you try to stop her from doing something.

It would be better to just notify Felix, who can hold him down.

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

"Ta-da, ta-da."

Viner strolled toward the lounge, his heavy footsteps echoing through the corridor.

It's not that I'm so tired that I can't control my steps, but rather that this is the most relaxing way to recover my strength.

"You haven't answered my question from before."

Barr caught up with Vina closely.

"What if I said it was Relian who taught it?"

Viner didn't stop walking, nor did she turn her head; she remained as nonchalant as ever.

"What do you plan to do?" Bar repeated Vina's words.

Naturally, the goal is to silence them before the number of people who know the truth expands.

Barr walked faster than Vena, and the distance between them grew closer and closer.

He was the burly, dark-skinned man who initially attacked Vena, infiltrated the academy using the identity of Relian, and now possessed Baal's body.

"The Emblem of Submission," this is the emblem possessed by Lucio, which allows him to take over the bodies of others for his own use.

With thorough preparation, one can even inherit the original owner's memories and talents.

Relian's talent was far from satisfactory, and due to the forced possession, he could not unleash even a tenth of his full strength.

With such mediocre marksmanship, it's far from enough to win the favor of the academy.

His initial target was Lisette, who was a perfect fit in terms of both status and talent.

By simply showing a slight inclination towards the academy, one can easily become a member of the academy's inner circle.

Unfortunately, he was stopped halfway by a guy who was pretending to be weak but actually strong, and he was also severely injured.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to take over the body of that Raylian.

Lucio knew this was just a stopgap measure.

Given the opportunity, I will still need to use other bodies.

Lisette had no hope. After entering the academy, she was protected by layers of guards, and the professors of the Magic Academy stuffed countless life-saving gadgets into her body.

If I were to take action myself, I would definitely be discovered.

His goal wasn't to trade one for one with a little girl.

Of the remaining year's students, only Baal and Garcia caught his eye.

Their physiques, combined with their axe skills, made it easy for them to stand out in the academy.

After that, all you need to do is lie low and wait for the hero to appear.

He finally caught Baal alone in the city.

Fearing that he would scare the opponent away, he deliberately held back during the battle, even intentionally getting seriously injured to lull the opponent into a false sense of security.

But unexpectedly, Baal thought the same thing, putting on a show of fighting to the death, but in reality, he was just trying to buy himself some time to crush the escape stone.

By the time he noticed, the teleportation from the escape stone was uninterrupted, forcing him to forcibly activate the Chapter of Bondage to possess the body.

The rejection he experienced from forcibly entering the unfamiliar body, coupled with the dizziness brought on by the teleportation, made his connection with Baal's body extremely loose, and it took him a long time to get used to it.

This prevented Lucio from immediately re-entering the dungeon to dispose of Relian's body, ultimately revealing a flaw in the plan.

Now that someone has come knocking on his door, Lucio dares not harbor any illusions.

Although I don't know what the relationship is between this guy named Mikazuki and the academy, as long as I take over his body, release false information to the academy, and then escape from the academy while the school is verifying the information, I can make further plans.

He had already roughly figured out Mikazuki's strength on the stage, and at such close range, escaping was a pipe dream.

"Tsk tsk, finally losing patience?"

Chapter 104 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

Just as Lucio's attack was about to strike Vina like thunder, Vina's figure was suddenly split into three.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lucio's eyes, but his reaction was swift and decisive; he slammed his palm down on the figure closest to him.

Just as his palm strike was about to reach its target, the figure vanished like smoke, leaving only an afterimage and ripples in the air.

Clearly, this is just an illusion.

The other two figures quickly spread out to the sides.

“Mirror Image? You’re a magician?” Lucio whispered.

He hadn't expected that Mikazuki still had some power left.

If he stalls us, it will go against our desire for a quick victory.

"How could I possibly know so many things?"

The two Venus spoke at the same time, their voices intertwining from all directions, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The fact that the mirroring technique can achieve this level is enough to demonstrate the depth of its mastery.

"You're the one who's in a hurry."

Lucio wanted to retort, "You're the one who's getting impatient," but suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet become sticky like mud, making it difficult for him to move.

He composed himself, leaped with all his might, and finally pulled his body out of the mud.

Lucio's goal is another mirror image of Wiener.

Lucio was indeed in a hurry.

His fusion with Baal's body was not yet complete, and coupled with the significant loss of physical strength he had previously expended, his perception had greatly declined.

They didn't even realize that their opponents were not just Viner alone.

"Certainly."

A mature and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

Lucio's body shuddered violently in mid-air.

Starting from his head, his skin gradually hardened like stone, his hands and feet began to stiffen, and his muscles gradually lost their elasticity.

"Snapped!"

When Lucio landed, he had completely turned into a hard stone.

"I guess my mission is now complete?"

Viner stood at the end of the passage, letting out a soft breath, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

"Yes, the suspect, Barr, has been apprehended, and the evidence is conclusive."

Samif appeared out of thin air, along with Professor Hannemann.

She left beforehand to invite a teacher from the Demon Academy, but it was the branch dean of the Demon Academy.

In fact, according to Wiener, after providing the information, what the academy planned to do next was no longer his concern.

Unfortunately, the compensation offered by Samif was indeed quite heavy.

Although the other party was at fault, Wiener still had his own judgment and, after weighing the options, proposed this plan to get involved himself.

Faced with a more successful option, Samif naturally did not object; instead, she cooperated with Wiener to improve the plan.
