Chapter 81: Mr. Ryu (1)
Unlike the more unique classes like Buffer, Mercenary King, and Dark Knight, the Blacksmith class is a common class.
This means, there are a lot of other Blacksmiths that can replace Russell.
However, Ryu Min had a specific reason for embarking on a journey deep into the mountains of England. It boiled down to one simple fact: Russell was a rare talent.
The story about Russell surviving up to the 15th round was far from fiction. He had not only defied the odds but also reached the pinnacle of the blacksmith class.

Ryu Min cast a thoughtful glance at Russell; he seems to be torn between trusting him and doubting himself.
He could use some guidance in making this choice.
