The next day...
While rumors of a new blacksmith were spreading among some of the Association's factions, Vicente had woken up early this morning and returned to the building where he had taken his exams the day before.
Earlier that morning, Vicente had already been to the Association's metal and mineral ordering area to request the items he needed to upgrade his men's weapons.
Without them, he could make weapons that could withstand the power of the Senior Apprentices, but they wouldn't be 100% efficient and would wear out very quickly.
Focused on developing his knowledge while waiting for his orders, Vicente was interested in the techniques and new study materials he could get from the Association.
He still had much to learn from Benson, but even the old blacksmith knew that there were things Vicente could only learn on his own.
