Synopsis

Ronan is taken to a hidden forge, an extraordinary underground space accessed by a magic elevator, after undergoing a strange 'test' by a gatekeeper. He then has a discussion about the importance of a suitable weapon for mana users and is permitted to attend a class, but only if he brings a proper weapon. Finally, the group is met with hostility by the wolf beastman smith at the recommended forge, who refuses to serve them and attempts to attack, leading to an altercation.
