Sogen was surprised to all things which Mr. Rudriger tells him. But Mr. Rudriger says,"Boy, we should leave the curse matter for later because you are not strong enough to open all the mystery of this case." Sogen nodded his head in affirmation as he already knows that he is really weak now and he has a long way to go. Suddenly Mr. Rudriger asks him what will he do now of his spiritual power. Sogen becomes confused by the question. Seeing him confused Mr. Rudriger says," Boy, your clan has never made a spiritualist so you are not aware of many things. You should first check your spiritual power. You should feel your surrounding through spiritual energy meridians and start to spread energy."
Sogen tries to do what Mr. Rudriger tells him.He starts to spread his energy, soon the whole workshop fills with spiritual energy. Mr. Rudriger was stunned to see this as everything in whole workshop starts to levitate. Suddenly he asks Sogen to stop. As Sogen stops everything returns to normal. Mr. Rudriger remains quiet for 2 minutes until Sogen calls for him. Mr. Rudriger says with full of excitement," Boy, Do you know how much spiritual energy you have! You can be easily on the top in whole empire, not in empire but you will be counted in top prodigy spiritualist in whole continent. Sogen himself was amazed to hear this.
Mr Rudriger again asks him that what will he do with his spiritual energy. Sogen was confused hearing this and asks Mr. Rudriger what a spiritualist does? Isn't he make pills, so I will also try to make pills.
Mr. Rudriger sighs in disappointment and says," Boy, it's not your fault but your Clan's.
You have no knowledge about spiritualist. You only knows that spiritualist makes pill and some uses in battles. But those who have much more spiritual energy like you can also do one more thing." Sogen was hearing everything carefully and he was eager to know what else they can do. Mr Rudriger pause for some seconds and says that they can make 'soul essence weapons'.
It was first time when Sogen heards these words , he repeats it after Mr. Rudriger and then asks about it.
Then Mr. Rudriger starts to tell him that many people know about spiritualist but there are very few who knows about 'Soul Blacksmiths'.
Soul Blacksmith, Sogen thinks in his mind but he has no clue about it. Mr. Rudriger starts to tell him that they all know about spiritualist making pills but it is not the only thing they can make. There is another thing which they can make, which is weapons , soul essence weapons. You have heard that spiritualist can add a small part of soul and make pills more powerful, in same way Soul Blackmisths can add a soul essence in weapons and can make them even stronger than before. But as spiritualist are rare and find, only one in millions has good spiritual energy with birth, similarly Soul Blacksmith are even more rare, one in thousands of spiritualists can become Soul Blacksmith.
Sogen knows about spiritualist and now he has heard about Soul Blacksmith which makes him even more surprised. Suddenly he asks Mr. Rudriger if he can become a Soul Blackmisth and how?
Mr. Rudriger first time shows an expression and he smiles at Sogen and says," Boy, You can become a Soul Blackmisth. But it is not easy. For becoming a Soul Blackmisth you have to learn about runes, soul embedding process and first you have to start practicing with your spiritual energy and master it.
Sogen was thinking to leave the workshop and goes somewhere to learn about runes and spiritualist. But suddenly a notification on status window pop up before him saying," Quest update-: Ask Mr. Rudriger to make you a Soul Blackmisth and help in becoming a spiritualist. Rewards-: 10,000 system coins, Basic Book of Runes.
Sogen was stunned to see this. He was thinking how can a person who works in a small workshop, can do a work which even big clans of this empire are unable to do. Then he suddenly remembers how Mr. Rudriger trains him in past months and he also knows about spiritualists more than his clan. He thinks Mr. Rudriger is not a normal person and he should not underestimate his capabilities.
Then he asks Mr. Rudriger if he will teach him. First Mr. Rudriger shows a glimmer of joy but then suddenly his joy disappears and
a look of sadness spread over his face, with it he says," Boy I am not any special person not I belong to any clan and I don't have any resources to train you. Although I can teach you about a Spiritualist and a Soul Blacksmith more than any clan but I don't have any resources to advance your rankings. I know you want to leave the workshop as you are talented. So I will not stop you."
Sogen has trained under Mr. Rudriger for several weeks and he knew that he was not an ordinary man. Also with past few weeks training by Mr. Rudriger, he has become even more powerful. Sogen also knows that Mr. Rudriger has a hidden past which made him this cold and expressionless, a very deep past,a deep wound on his heart that he doesn't even want to tell anyone that's why Sogen never asks about Mr. Rudriger's past.
Sogen says after hearing it," Sir, even though you don't have any resources I still want to be taught by you and I don't need any resources."
"Boy I am not asking for your opinion, I am telling you this.Now leave"
"Sir, If you don't teach me I will stop being a spiritualist and will train by you in workshop."
"Boy, I fire you from my shop. Now leave my shop" Mr. Rudriger said.
Sogen was too surprised to hear this but he was unable to do anything about it as Mr. Rudriger asks him pack his belongings else he will throw them.
Sogen packs his luggage but he sits before his shop with his luggage and said that he will not go until Mr. Rudriger will be ready to teach him. He was not doing this only for system quest but he knows if Mr. Rudriger can teach him about Soul Blacksmith and Spiritualist, he can teach him better than any other clan as he has trained under him for several weeks. The stance and techniques which Mr. Rudriger taught him were basic but they were better than his clan's.
"When Mr. Rudriger sees Sogen this way. He comes out of the shop."
"Boy, you are so stubborn. Ok I can teach you but remember I have no resources for you. Now come in." He said.
"Hearing this a smile came across Sogen's face and he goes in the shop with a nod."
