Then from the back of the store came a woman, "I said if you're not buying, don't touch!. Don't make me repeat myself boy."

When Vincent saw the lady shouting at him, he immediately recognized her.

'Blacksmith Prime, Miss Gilda.'

////

Blacksmith Prime

This title is given to a blacksmith who has made a significant milestone in the Smithing world.

It is to represent that among their peers, They stand above them.

Hence the Title, Blacksmith Prime

Miss Gilda is one of those people that have been bestowed the title, Blacksmith Prime.

She was given the title in her thirties when she made the third-ever growth weapon, which was quite an achievement because the first and second person to ever make a growth weapon were at the age of 63 and 59 respectively.

Hence she was given the title because she was the youngest person to have ever made a growth weapon.

After that, she went on to make other achievements like Creating SSS-Rank weapons and a False X-Rank Weapon.

As Vincent monologues within himself, Instructor Pryde spoke for him, "Miss Gilda, It's ever so nice to ~"

"Spare me the flattery" she interrupted him, "You must be here because you need a weapon, Most preferably for the touchy boy there"

"Miss Gilda is ever so insightful."

"As I said, Stop with the flattery and go straight to the point."

Instructor Pryde let out a sigh in displeasure before replying with a slight undertone of annoyance

"You never allow anyone to give respect to your title"

"Because I find it a useless prefix that's coming to be annoying"

He let out another sigh before he confessed, "We'll you are right, The school requires a weapon to be made for the boy beside me"

"You mean the boy who can't even greet his elders"

Instructor Pryde nudged Vincent who was still monologuing to snap him out of it. It was effective

Noticing how rude he was, Vincent gave a straight bow of respect to Miss Gilda and formulated the right words to erase the disrespect earlier.

"It's an honor to meet you Blacksmith Prime, Miss Gilda. I was just remembering all that I had read of your valor from the school's library book of [Important People, Now and Forever.]"

Miss Gilda was slightly amused by Vincent, Her sterned face slightly softened.

"Really and what did they say," she asked

"In Chapter 32 is where your Bio and achievements could be seen"

"Miss Gilda, No surname due to being an orphan. An Albino Orc Migas but speculated to have higher human blood in her than an orc due to her lack of prominent teeth, hatred of humans, and green and grey skin but instead has pale white skin.

" As a result, she has been given an exotic beauty due to her white long hair and her red sharp eyes."

"She is the third Migas to ever make a growth weapon, The first woman to ever make a growth weapon."

"In your prime, you were the youngest to make a growth weapon and an SS-Rank weapon."

"While now you are the third youngest to have ever made a growth weapon but you are the first woman to have ever made an SSS-Rank Weapon."

"You are also known for the strength you possess. Having the physical strength of 10 Men, although I find that an understatement."

"What I find most inspiring was the fact that you never let your evil wishes get the better of you."

"Even as an Orc Migas because you are a female during that time you were still a part of the discrimination against females but you managed to prove them wrong, Surely I'll like my daughter to be like you."

Miss Gilda's face showed no significant change but you could see from the slight smirk and fold arms that she was proud of herself.

Although you wouldn't notice, Vincent did.

'Flattery gets you everywhere.' He quoted inwardly.

'Especially with women' he added

Instructor Pryde looked at his student with surprise written all over his face, 'This Kid'.

Then he looked at the proud Blacksmith Prime and was even more surprised, he almost said what was in his mind 'I thought you said no flattery!?'

"*Cough*" Miss Gilda faked a cough to the side and a slight blush "I see, the book is accurately written"

If Miss Gilda was a Fox Migas or a dog migas or one that had a tail. Vincent was convinced that it would have been quite all over the place by now.

"Anyways you said you are here for a weapon" she spoke to instructor Pryde.

"Uh- Y-Yes" he stuttered a little before composing himself, "Yes, The school requires an S-Rank weapon to be made for this boy"

"I see", She turned to Vincent. " And what is your name young one"

"My name is Vincent Gate, Miss Gilda."

"Mmh" she hummed, "What did he do to deserve an S-Rank weapon," she asked

"Well you see, Vincent here has been assigned to the S-Rank Class"

"Really!"

"Yes, The Orb sorted him to the class due to his Dual Affinities in Fire and Lightning."

"Wow!" She looked at Vincent as a treasure which made him slightly concerned.

"But that doesn't mean he deserves an S-Rank weapon"

"Yes. But remember, the expedition and also…."

"Ohh", Her eyes widened in realization before she then set her eyes on Vincent again.

"It's been a long time since I've made a weapon for a student. I might as well make it a great one"

Although she said that, the true reason was because of the flattery, and of course Vincent and Instructor Pryde knew that but they just played along.

"Just wait a minute" she then walked into the back.

After she had gone Instructor Pryde and vincent looked at each other and Pryde said to him "You are quite the Sly one, Student Vincent"

Vincent played dumb "I have no idea what you're saying, Instructor"

Before they could continue, Miss Gilda came back with an Orb that was familiar to Vincent

As she walked to him, She began to explain what the orb was. "This is an Advanced Inspection Orb. Unlike the Inspection Orb, the Advanced Inspection Orb or AIO cannot only view Innate and Affinities but also show the accurate strength of the Affinity, not the estimate."

'What's the difference'

"You may be wondering what is the difference" She continued

"The best way to explain it is that when the Inspection Orb measures an innate that is an affinity"

"it measures it from your Ether pool, Which brings certain limitations since if your ether pool is low the orb would measure the affinity as low too."

"While the AIO measures the affinity from your soul hence there are no mistakes or limitations"

As she said that, The system spoke to Vincent

[I suggest you use an Illusion.]

'This thing is capable of seeing all my affinities including my illusions, isn't it?'

[Yes, it is as you think]

'If this thing sees my high affinity toward Yin, Fire, and Lightning. I would be questioned.'

'Especially for the Yin, After all, why would a Male Lion Migas be highly affixed to Yin instead of Yang. Even if I don't get questioned, I would be hailed as too much of a genius and that is not part of my plan.'

'But I do not know the format at which the Affinity is measured'

[Don't worry, follow my lead.]

After Miss Glinda explained she then motioned for Vincent to lay his hands on the orb and he complied.

Vincent stretched his hands to the Orb and it glowed its response, Then a holographic Screen rose above Vincent's hands.
