"Humph! It's just a coincidence. How could he learn the Furnace Refining Skill? It hasn't been passed down for a very long time. And as far as I can remember, even the Holy Maiden hasn't mastered that refining skill either. Am I right?" Timothy said as he tried to downplay Zachary's abilities.
"But how can you explain this? If that is not the Furnace Refining Skill, then what on earth is that skill?" Weston questioned, obviously not convinced with Timothy’s reasoning.
Hearing that, Timothy was rendered speechless. He knew that he was just making some excuses to deny that Zachary indeed had amazing talents.
Sharon, who was watching anxiously earlier, breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Zachary finally revealed what he was trying to do. "Ugh! This guy is so annoying! He keeps on making me worry for nothing!" At the same time, she couldn't help but complain because she felt that she had been always fooled by Zachary’s deceptive acts. Actually, she wasn't the only one who felt that way.
Thanks to the Furnace Refining Skill, Zachary had successfully smelted and repaired the Heavenly Thunder Saber. Right now, all he needed to do was to reshape and polish the rare weapon to fully finish the task. However, even though he had already produced a semi-finished weapon, it still wasn't that easy to execute the finishing touches in a short time. Moreover, several other participants, including Susie and Sebastian, were already about to accomplish the overall repairs.

ished a little later…" Timothy said as he glanced at Zachary emotionlessly. Sumner was Susie's assumed name while participating in the assessment as a man.
"Hmm, I actually think that Hodge finished earlier. His weapon was obviously repaired in the shortest time, but he just didn’t have the time to declare it," Weston remarked after thinking for a while. It was a bit obvious that he was being partial towards Zachary.
Since the two elders shared different opinions, the other Sage Level warriors from the Dignified Supernal Sect, who were also present and viewing the test, looked and whispered to each other.
For a brief moment, there was silence in the entire square because the situation before them was absolutely unprecedented. Moreover, Zachary, who was supposedly left behind and acted like a newbie earlier, suddenly came from behind and repaired the rare weapon at the same time as Susie and Sebastian to obtain the opportunity for a triple tie.
But soon enough, some doubts regarding Zachary’s performance suddenly sparked.
"Isn't his rare weapon defective? He repaired it using that insane thunderbolt strike. That’s not normal in any way."
"I agree. Some people are saying that he used the Furnace Refining Skill, but it was known to be already lost in the Supernal Continent. So, no one should really be sure that he used the genuine skill. Even if it is real, he may only know a portion of it."
"Or there’s also a chance that he’s just pretending to know it."
