"Is it really this formal?" Ji Jue was stunned.
"What else did you expect?"
Lou Feng glanced over and asked, "How many people have struggled through days and nights, enduring endless toil, all for today?
How many have spent half their lives trying to reach this point, and you dare say that achieving all this was an easy feat?"
Ji Jue had no words to say.
The hardships of apprenticeship, has anyone not experienced them?
Even those personally chosen by the Superior are not spared from the grueling process.
The significance of becoming a craftsman is monumental for every apprentice. It's not just about the status and authority of a craftsman or the rights within the apprentices' realm.
It's more akin to a rite of passage into adulthood.
Before this, the apprentices were under the protection of their mentors and workshops. Now, as craftsmen, they are seen as qualified to face challenges on their own and bear all consequences.
Excuses and reasons no longer apply.
