Back then, Byron merely knew Ylvar for his feat of forging an artifact at the peak of Rank 2 during a forging duel.

However, as he continued to listen to the words that left the young man's mouth, Byron began to realize that there was more to Ylvar than meets the eye, the part about him forging an artifact merely being the tip of the iceberg.
