The clanging of blacksmithing was incessant.
One furnace after another was lined up neatly into three rows.
Weapons and swords that had already taken shape were being continuously further forged.
A few newcomers followed behind the master with respect, listening to him explain, step by step, the essence and tricks of each process.
After the explanation, the master would arrange for them to try their hand at it.
First, he let them attempt on their own, and after they had finished, he would explain in detail based on their mistakes.
He made sure they understood completely before proceeding to demonstrate.
Once they had gained deeper insight, he arranged for them to continue practicing themselves.
After several rounds, every new worker had made significant progress.
The rapid improvement brought a smile to their master's face.
On the contrary, the new apprentices felt somewhat embarrassed because they had scrapped too many weapon blanks.
