An eighteen-year-old Level 3 Beast Master and a senior blacksmith? No one would believe that!
As the master-level blacksmith and president of the Forging Masters Guild, Xavier had seen many talents, but he was a bit perplexed at this moment. Both blacksmithing and alchemy required substantial time and effort.
He had only seen a talent like Charles's once before!
Of course, all of this hinged on whether Charles could pass the senior blacksmith certification.
If Charles was merely a mid-level blacksmith, it would be understandable—someone with some talent in blacksmithing.
With this in mind, Xavier suggested, "How about this: tomorrow you take the senior blacksmith certification exam directly! I happen to have enough time to personally evaluate you."
Charles's eyes lit up; this made things much easier, and he was confident about the senior blacksmith exam!
