An Kai stood at the entrance to the third floor.
He looked at the sphere that had rolled to his feet.
It held the [Blacksmith] secondary class.
He admitted he had been a little too harsh on [Blacksmith] earlier...
When he saw the words "supreme" quality, An Kai agreed without a second thought...
[I am willing to learn!]
In an instant, the sphere at An Kai's feet crumbled into powder.
Wrapped in a peculiar energy, it enveloped the forging bench in the center of the third floor.
As the powder settled, an old man with graying hair and an indistinct face appeared...
[Blacksmith instruction in progress...]
Standing beside the forging bench, the old man held a pitch-black hammer, pinned down something resembling an iron ingot, and brought the hammer down with all his strength.
The moment the hammer struck, the iron ingot vanished. A flash of light passed, and it turned into a sharp knife.
The old man picked up the knife and turned toward An Kai, his lips parting slightly as though asking, "Did you learn that?"
An Kai: ...
[Blacksmith secondary class instruction complete.]
The system notification appeared, and the old man's figure slowly faded, a crooked smile on his face.
He seemed proud of his unconventional teaching method.
Even An Kai, who had seen his share of extraordinary things, had to admit upon seeing the system notification that this was the most avant-garde teaching method he had ever witnessed...
The thought had barely faded when information about the [Blacksmith] class flooded An Kai's mind.
With the system's assistance, the [Blacksmith] secondary class appeared in its most complete form...
