Silver level Blacksmith

When he entered at he classroom he found only one person, it was Tiane, dressed in a brown tunic identical to his own. Which enhanced her eyes and made her look even more beautiful.

She looked at Nicola and smiled saying "Good morning, I'm Tiane, we are gonna be classmates for a while" she said and held out her hand to Nicola. He extended his reddish arm towards her, shaking hands, and greeted her as well. "Hello, my name is Nicola, it will be a pleasure to have classes with you" he replied.

They talked for a while until the teacher arrived, a middle-aged man, stocky and with strong arms. His skin was red like Nicola's and marked by the tan wich showed that he spent many hours in front of the forge. On top of his big belly was a black apron, placed over a red tunic. He appeared to be a kind of ogre gifted with the element of fire.

"Welcome to the smithy class, I am Professor Ogume. I will be teaching you the art of forging." He said as he faced the two students in front of him. "It seems that we have few people as usual, but even if we only have two students, and compared to the other classes, I must warn you that we will not be behind them at all." He concluded.

"Well, the first thing you should know is that you don't know anything, hahahaha!" He said as he laughed to himself in a kind of weird mood.

"What do you mean, Professor Ogume?" Tiane asked.

Wiping the tears out of the corners of his eyes, he replied, trying to contain his laughter. "Well, what is the level of your blacksmithing profession in the system?"

"Intermediate blacksmith" Nicola replied.

"Advanced blacksmith" Tiane said shortly thereafter.

"What do you think happens when you reach the expert level in a profession?"

"The expert comes right after the advanced level and when he reaches that peak someone will reach the summit of blacksmithing" Tiane said excitedly.

"Wrong!" Ogume said, "The system ranks a profession down to the expert level because of your low level after reaching level 20, the system reclassifies all your skills from the star level, just like the mercenaries, divided into bronze stars, silver, gold and diamond.

Of course, not everyone is aware of this matter as it is classified information for those above level 20. The weapons you produce are at the bronze star level, but only we, who have a higher level can classify them like that with the help of the system." He said.

"So, the expert level is just the beginning of blacksmithing?" Tiane asked excitedly at the information.

"Sure child, or do you think one of the school's six main rings would be blacksmithing with only the expert level?"
