When John entered the back room he noticed a typical smithy but on the walls were unusual panels and used appraisal on them
{heat resistant sound proof panels}
John then saw Gerald sit down and sat across from him and said
"I guess to use those panels to keep the noise down?"
Gerald then smiled and said
"Indeed and thankfully when Steve kept ordering from us I was able to purchase these but let's talk about why your here"
John then nodded and said
"I am the guild master for the arcane executioners and I own the bar around the corner"
Gerald then said with a confused look
"I haven't heard of your guild before is it new?"
John nodded and said
"Indeed and I want to have the office for my guild near"
John then explained what happened at the cafe up to coming to his shop
Gerald after listening to John said
"I'll let you buy it on three conditions"
John then said with a smile
Name them
"1st You hire me and I make your weapons and armour 2rd you allow me and rose to stay with you till the building is complete 3rd free meals at your bar for rose"
John then gave a smile and said after extending his hand out
"You have a deal friend"
Gerald then said before grabbing Johns hand
"I hope we work well together guild master"
John then said while holding Gerald's hand
"And here's another gift"
Before John used the ability growth and got the usual notification bringing his level to 372
While Gerald got a notification that nearly gave him a heart attack
(Someone unknown has taken 20 levels but has upgraded A-rank [magical blacksmith craftsmanship] to S-rank [Forge master])
Gerald didn't say anything and just looked at John in shock before John spoke saying
"Don't worry about low ranks slowing you down as I can make them better than they can ever be"
Gerald then said with a surprised look
"What did you do?!"
John then gave a chuckle and said
"Try our your new ability"
Gerald then opened his skills and looked at it
- S-rank [Forge master]
(Description)
A forge master can craft any gear that can be used having little struggle making it
Gerald then grabbed some coal and said to John
"What do you wish for me to make"
John then took out his guandao and said
"This is the weapon I'm currently using so just make some armour"
Gerald then nearly yelled and said after using [inspect] on it
"Where did you get this magnificent blade!?"
John then said while looking at Gerald nearly drooling on his weapon
"I have my ways now I really want to see your new skill"
Gerald then said after looking at Johns weapon said
"I'll make you a thing of armour now"
Gerald then got to work while John went back to the others and told them what happened except for the upgrade
Jess was the first to say
"While me and rose were out getting ice cream I got the owners of the convenience store to sell it to us on the condition that they work at the bar"
John then nodded and said
"That can work now we just need to hire a construction crew and once the office is done we can start hiring hunters"
Steve then gave John a card with a number on it and said while giving rose a piggy back ride
"Hire these people they know me very well and can get you a discount for the construction"
Rose then said to Steve
"Will I be seeing you more often now?"
Steve then said while putting her down
"I'll be able to see you more don't worry"
Jess then said to rose
"Looks like you'll be staying with me while John gets grandpa as his roommate"
Rose then took Jess's hands and dragged her upstairs to pack
Soon after they left Gerald came out and placed two black gauntlets with a snake design on it on the table and said to John
"What do you think?"
John then used [appraisal] on the gauntlets
[charred steel gauntlets]

Creates a thick black smokescreen
(Description)
A pair of gauntlets made by a forge master who has infused magic into the steel of the gauntlets making them lighter and also much harder then regular steel
John then put them on and said to Gerald
"Outstanding"
Gerald then saw rose and Jess come down with a suitcase and said
"Let me make some matching armour for you while you show rose around your bar"
John then said while deactivating the invisibility on his Cerberus armour
"I won't need a chest plate but do the rest"
Gerald then grabbed John and got a closer look at his armour and said
"First you bring out the blade now this!?"
John feeling embarrassed said while Gerald was inspecting his Cerberus armour
"Can you let go now please?"
Gerald coughed and let go of John before saying
"One last thing what's the guild symbol for the armour?"
John said while looking at rose
"When we get back want to help draw one?"
Rose while holding Jess's hand said
"I get to help?! Yey!"
Jess then said to John before leaving
"I'll get everything ready for tonight"
Once they left John turned to Gerald and said
"You should join us since your apart of the guild now"
Gerald said before heading upstairs
"I'll have to get changed and wash up I'll be over soon guild master"
Once Gerald was upstairs John left and went to his bar and opened it up for the party
