"We did it, Vinny!" I shouted.

We had been working on this for a while and now we did it. Well, 'we' was relative. Vinny mostly worked on his own thing while I engraved but it was a group effort, kind of. We bounced ideas off of each other and I showed him the rune schematic to see if he could spot any flaws.

He didn't have the [Mana Engraving] skill like I did but that wasn't necessary.

"I see that." He said back. He was a man of few words but that was ok. I would make up for his lack thereof.

In a big family like we had not everyone was as outgoing. Some preferred the quieter side and Vinny was one of those people. That wasn't to say that he was shy, just that he wouldn't raise his voice just to be heard.

"Haha..." I couldn't help but giggle like a schoolgirl. I never thought that it would give me two levels and push my profession to evolve. I still had a skill to pick before that though.

"I hit 25 with that," I told Vinny.

"Really, I thought you were still at 23 when you started." He said back.

"I was, it gave me a lot of experience for completing that."

"Good for you. What are your evolution options?"

"Hold on there bud, I still have to choose a skill," I said, I needed to pick the last skill of F-Rank. "Speaking of, what did you get for your last skill?"

Vinny and I picked similar skills through G-Rank. He had [Metal Sense], [Create Weapon], [Create Armor], [Metallurgy], and [Forging Mastery]. He didn't want to go the same route as me so he didn't buy [Mana Engraving].
