"Of course, he is fast! He is my favorite student, after all! Now, start creating another one! I will practice your ass off while I am here!" said Heiden with great vigor. Upon hearing his master, Heracles couldn't help but smile. At the next moment, he said, "Okay, master!"
With great vigor, he continued forging with the guidance of his master. Before they knew it, a few hours have passed away ever since they started practicing. The night has already enveloped the sky, so Heiden decided to go home right after Heracles finished forging his fifth sword.
"We will go for now. You need to rest now, my disciple. You are probably forging for the whole day now, if I am not mistaken. Here are some books that would impart a new knowledge of metallurgy. Take a rest for the whole day tomorrow. I will send more books about how to forge different weapons!" said Heiden with a smile.
Heracles's eyes suddenly sparkled with great excitement. He immediately expressed his gratitude to his master before saying his farewell to his departing master.
Before going away, Heiden whispered to Prince Lucas, "Here's another list for the new ones you need to obtain. I'm sure you would refuse to accept if I bought these for my student! You need to make sure that you already got them in three days!"
"I understand!" said Prince Lucas in response to his friend.
After saying their goodbyes, the couple immediately came toward the forge room. They found out that Heracles already left the room. Without any hesitation, they immediately went to his room.
They found that he was immersed in reading the books that his master has given him. "Don't stay late again, my dear son!" said Lara as she entered alongside Lucas. "Of course, Mom! I only have to read these books for the next three days, after all!" he said with a smile on his face.
When his parents left his room, Heracles thought to himself, 'I guess it's time for me to learn more about metallurgy! I need to speed up learning everything! After all, I only have two months before the deadline of my new main quest!'
With that in his mind, Heracles' concentration immediately reached its peak. He was so immersed in gaining new knowledge to the point where he continued reading until it was past midnight.
As a caring mother, Princess Lara decided to interfere to make sure his son get enough rest. "Heracles! Go to sleep now! It's already past midnight again! You still have a lot of time to learn about those things!"
"Oh yeah! There's no need to rush! I will go sleep now, then, Mom! Good night!" said Heracles. "Okay, good night to you as well, dear!" said Lara before leaving his room.
Before closing his eyes, Heracles thought to himself, 'I wonder how long till I finish that quest. Well, I will finish it as soon as I can! After all, Dad said that those who finish their quest earlier have a great chance of receiving another chance!'
At the next moment, Heracles decided to finally close his eyes. In just a matter of a minute, he was able to sleep soundly due to fatigue.

"You just need something to bind those parts! Use your Fiery Flame! You need to make sure that all parts of the armor are connected or else it will be useless on the battlefield!" shouted Heiden toward Heracles.
Upon hearing his master, Heracles immediately began placing the parts of the armor he created into their rightful place. At the next moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "FIERY FLAME!"
At that very moment, a raging fire suddenly came bursting out of his palm. It immediately went toward the parts of the armor where they needed to be bound.
'He is just using the right amount of firepower! He only practiced under my tutelage for three weeks, and he reached this far!' Heiden thought to himself as he watched Heracles.
After he connected the parts of the armor, Heracles immediately submerged the armor toward the water he has beside him. When he raised it, a notification from his system suddenly appeared.

"I got three skills!?" Heracles uttered with a shocked expression. Upon hearing him, Heiden immediately came running toward him. He said to him with a shocked expression, "You got three skills!? GO IMMEDIATELY SEE YOUR STATUS BOARD AT ONCE! LET US SEE WHAT KIND OF SKILL YOU RECEIVED THIS TIME!"

"System, make my status board visible to my master!" Heracles shouted at the next moment after seeing it.
Upon seeing his disciple's newly acquired skills, Heiden's knees decided to give in due to his shock. He said with a shocked expression, "Y-you-! You gained another two Epic-tier skills! At the same time, you also gained a-a LEGENDARY-TIER SKILL!"
"A LEGENDARY-TIER SKILL!?" Heracles could only utter upon hearing his master. After regaining his composure, Heracles asked his master, "What is the Legendary-tier skill that I got?"
Although he regained his composure, Heiden still didn't regain his composure because he was really shocked.
"G-give me a glass of water first! I need to calm my excitement!" he said to Heracles at the next moment.
"Please wait for a minute, master!"
