(This extra chapter is brought to you by these guardians of good tastes: Julius V B, Dale B, Keneth P, Jack T, Cristi N, Alex D, and Misraiosh"

Currently in The Orc’s Forge Even though it was named as a 'smithy', it was no different than an ar with the shop located on the top floor would be converted into a cafe

It was suspected that the customers for either the Alche better to do, ht utilise the cafe’s facilities

Hazeline’s ideas were right on the hts would be beyond busy in the e crowd of Knights populating the cafe at this very nisable Knights ranked upper Mid Tier or higher present, too many of the people here ho you’d call the true combat forces for the Orders - such as low Mid Tier and Mid Tier Knights At a rough head count, there seemed to be well over 80 here

Indeed, it was still in the early days, but Hazeline had a feeling that this business will become more successful than the initial estimates She closed her eyes and tuned her ears to the surrounding conversations for a hts are here And check their ehts Order had an unique eanization These eed to which Order

"You’re right The coht Hey h an interview first before I’ht uttered out a co on her coffee

"But isn’t it fine? I , ‘if I want to become an owner of the Orc’s weapon, I need to do an interview’"

"Fu-hut You’re right I also didn’t iht By the way, uh… of course this Blacksmith is pretty darn skilled, but this does mean that our weapons are also pretty rubbish, no?"

They were both waiting for the interview on the top floor, the Orc’s Blacksmith

It was a bit odd to do an interview first if one wanted to buy a product, but it couldn’t be helped The demand far outstripped the supply, after all So the e ‘Think of it as an interview to become the owner of the weapon’

That’s how hts thanks to the recent blacksht be a rookie that had appeared like a est star that would brighten up the heavens

"Mid Tier Knight, Mister Joo Ji-Hyuk?"

An eed froht’s naht promptly stood up and shouted out loudly His ehts Order

"It’s your turn now, sir"

"Yes!"

The guy na-

The posture of Joo Ji-Hyuk riding on the elevator looked rather unco like that in the elevator, the slight vibration he felt reatly as well

To a Knight, a weapon was similar to a lover he or she could spend the rest of their lives together It was

difficult finding a weapon thatto use it for the rest of one’s life And if found, securing it also required a lot of sacrifices That hy it was nor this way, Joo Ji-Hyuk worked hard to pull hi-

Before he knew it, the elevator arrived on the top floor and opened its doors

"…"

Gulp

He reflexively sed his saliva It was after seeing the interior There wasn’t anything eye catching here Instead, only the chilly and grey wallpapers were plastered all over the place However, they i his shoulders shrivel a little

The Knight, totally unaware that Kim Sae-Jin had imbued a special attribute to these wallpapers, couldn’t help but admire the scale of difference the Orc Blackss

And Joo Ji-Hyuk, while looking around, found a certain plaque And his eyes nearly popped out froolden letters carved on the plaque said…

‘The Orc’s Forge, affiliated with the Society, The Monster’

"Please follow me"

Joo Ji-Hyuk woke up fro at the plaque, when the female employee spoke to him

"Ah… yes!"

He followed the e it, he was in front of the door to the ‘Manager’s office’ No doubt, the fa for him there…

"Please note, the intervieill be conducted not by the Blacksmith, but the chairperson of the Society"

"…Oh Of course…"

The chairperson of the Society would h he was merely a Hunter, Joo Ji-Hyuk heard that this nored That guy couldn’t be underestiht ahead"

Joo Ji-Hyuk nodded his head, and grasped the doorknob to the Manager’s office

"If I am to become the nener of a weapon crafted by Sir Orc the Blacks it better than anyone I will perform careful hts Order affiliated Knight, Joo Ji-Hyuk, sounded like as if he was doing an intervieith his life on the line His face was terribly tense, his posture very upright, as he looked at the person in front

"…Is that right? Well then… can you please tell er’s office, an unexpected intervieas happening right now

The intervieas, of course, Kim Sae-Jin - and the interviewees that had already passed through prior were hts

Those supposedly-busy upper Mid Tier Knights with sole request for a hts with lower ranks actually came to visit the armoury personally

"Well… Ithem the ‘Zweihänder’ I don’t know if it’s difficult to craft this type of a weapon, or the skills of the weapons… but, o on a hunt five times, or participate once in the Fissure Exploration, the swords end up breaking"

Those were to the words that clearly deht

When a person possessed some modicum of ability, he or she would rather choose a profession - such as Knights or Wizards - that were cool looking and made lots of money, rather than bravely venture down the perilous path of blackshts treated blackso, which ether Though, they have begun showing soency of the current situation

"There was this one time, when the sword broke in the reat deal of trouble"

"Oh, is that so? By the way, if it's a Zweihänder, it reat sielded by both hands, featuring a vicious outer appearance If this guy was selected as the nener for the weapon, then it would surely be a tough challenge for Sae-Jin who had just about enough amount of Mana for the job

"Ah, no, it’s fine! I are of the cost when I chose it I don’tsysteanised and quite reasonable, so… Hahaha!"

Even the laughter co man, who resembled a simple and honest youth from a rural farhtly as well, and told the Knight that he understood so he should return and wait for a good news

"Oh, and please, don’t lose heart… even if you fail the evaluation As you hts requesting for weapons, so it’s simply impossible to satisfy the for a weapon to use for the rest of ain even if I don’t ht, he would have achieved so ht until the end as he ht left, without the time for a break, the female employee came in to the office and confirmed the next reservation

Sae-Jin did a quick check on the amount of ti that he could do another 20 interviews or so, he told her to let the next person in

Even though he was busy, strangely enough he felt rather great at thearound in various Knights Orders It was about the Orc Blacksh the name of the Orc Blacksmith had not been added to the an frohts who had personally went and visited the Orc’s Forge and saw the plaque there - and started telling other Knights about it

"But it’s a relief, isn’t it? Since our Miss Kim Yu-Rin has a connection with that Society’s chairperson"
