While the senior disciple mind runs different types of calculations to pit the recruits for their arrogance.
The Hall Master came back at this time and said loudly from the entrance of the Hall " I hope everyone worked hard and produced some good weapons & devices. Otherwise, they will be punished according to their mistakes or wrongdoings they made while forging. "
After hearing what the Hall Master said everybody was scared even if they didn't make any mistakes.
Because they taught about the recruits that got punished morning as an example for punishment and terrified at thought getting punished like that.
Including senior disciples even if they know they are not the ones to get reviewed and scolded.
After announcing his intentions the Hall Master moved towards nearby recruits and started checking the devices without giving a single shit about scared shitless senior disciples and recruits.
The senior disciple near the Hall Master came forward and reported about recruits truthfully without hiding anything " Master the recruits that are under my control are forging good weapons to best of their skill. "
The Hall Master just nodded and waved his hand to signify ' now you can mind your own business ' and carried on. The senior disciple also shut his mouth tactfully.
The Hall Master checked the weapons forged by recruits carefully and nodded plainly without showing any expressions. The recruit who stopped breathing at the beginning of checking let out the breath peacefully at the end after his devices are checked out by the Hall Master.
The Hall Master inspected the other recruits and nodded slightly that signifying they passed but his face showed a disappointed expression continuously for not finding any talented recruits.
But he continued to look at other recruits as most of them have little talent. So they don't make any huge mistakes. So they escaped the tragedy of getting punished.
But there's going to be someone going to make mistakes due to carelessness or accidents.
So when the Hall Master checked more than twenty people. He picked the devices and checked carefully. He found that device with a slight deviation.
The Hall Master face wrinkled and said in a calm tone to slim recruit " You came out and stand out from others. "
The recruit face paled under the Hall Master order but he moved out from others and stood alone while waiting for punishment.
The Hall Master doesn't pay any more attention to him. Until he checked out others from his team and said to the senior disciple in charge " The recruit under your management doesn't produce good quality equipment. "
" So he will be punished as per rules. Because you don't notify me about his mistake beforehand you will be punished with 10 whips. "
The senior disciple in charge nodded with fright and said " I will execute your order, Hall Master. "
The Hall Master nodded and took the whip that's hanging in his waist and whipped the senior disciple ten times and stopped while the senior disciple clenched his teeth under pain. But he didn't cry only his eyes got reddened under anger.
Then the senior disciple got up and took the long iron rod that is being heated in the furnace and said to recruit that made mistake " If you don't make any mistake. I don't have to get punished because of you. So be obedient and lay on the floor. "
The recruit face paled even more and looked like he's about to faint.
But the senior disciple doesn't give a fuck about his mindset under the Hall Master whip pain. He moved forward but the recruit started crying his eyes out and pleaded loudly.
" Please stop I will not make any more mistakes like this from now on. So spare me this one time. "
The senior disciple moved forward and pressed the recruit on the floor with his leg and presses the heated iron rod on the recruit right shoulder side on the backside of the recruit's body.
The recruit roared in agonizing pain like a demon from hell and fainted from the pain with a flushed face and clenched teeth.
The senior disciple put away the heated iron rod and said to the Hall Master respectfully " Master I completed your order. "
The Hall Master doesn't say much just nodded and continued to check others.
The senior disciple who managing the Wang Wei team looked at this scene with a thoughtful expression and showed a smug face at Wang Wei's team.
While other recruits face are getting pale colour at thought of getting punished at the Hall Master's hand.
While the senior disciple looked at wang Wei and cooked up something crooked to punish arrogant recruits.
So he thought (Sorry the decent recruit fellow even though you looked like, decent fellow. You have to suffer a little. If my plan has to succeed. )
He unhurriedly moved near the Wang Wei team. While they all looking at punished recruits. He used that diversion and put the damaged devices in their basket hiddenly.
Wang Wei looked at this and thought( People tend to perform poorly when their emotions best them. This senior disciple also made the same mistake without knowing these kinds of tricks are nothing in front of Acquired Martial Artists perception. If that isn't enough. he has to go ahead and even include me in his scheme. )
The Hall Master also looked at this senior disciple and shooked his head with disappointment and thought ( The quality of disciples are declining. I have to do something about this. Even though I don't care about things like these before. But now it's causing problems for my plans. So let's make an example out of him to warn others. )
The senior disciple smiling smugly without knowing that his despicable plan has been through by Hall Master and Wang Wei.
He showed a smirk on his face thinking about how the recruits under his management will get punished under his master plan.
But good days don't last that long as the Hall Master nears them the senior disciples face shows an expression ' that he can't wait any longer to put on a good show '.
