In the blink of an eye, Vicente and Landon finished producing their shields with a difference of 10 minutes between them.
Landon had finished his shield earlier because he was more experienced than Vicente and had used his special ability for a large part of the process.
But Vicente didn't take much longer than his opponent. He finished his shield after a few minutes, an item with 87% efficiency.
That was a very good level of efficiency, something that only 10% of the blacksmiths in this guild in Millfall could achieve while they were in the 2nd-stage producing 2nd-grade items!
However, Vicente lost the first competition to Landon, who managed to produce a shield with 90% efficiency!
That was Landon's victory, but neither this blacksmith nor anyone else around the competition platform saw it as an easy victory for him or a guarantee that he would win.
