As soon as he left the family's cultivation room, Vicente found the main names of his family waiting for him.
He saw Rory and some level 3 Acolytes, the first to join him, who were still standing on this Mazzanti family journey. Several of his family members had died on the way here, and only 4 men had managed to reach level 3 with the chances they had.
Vicente smiled at his friend and most trusted soldiers, greeting them as he received their congratulations.
"Thank you all. That is not just my progress but that of the whole family. Without the help of everyone here, I would not have reached this level so quickly." He said as he looked at his men with sincerity.
Rory patted Vicente on the back and said. "Your advance relieves me, man. The soldiers from the capital are about to arrive in the city, and very soon, The Faceless Ones will react to the previous events. But with your advance, we'll have a chance to survive it all."
He looked at Rory, this young man who was close to reaching level 4, and said. "You should use one of our magic stones and go into seclusion for the next few days. Try to get to level 5 as soon as possible because I'm going to Ironcrest very soon."
Rory and the level 3 men became more serious as they listened to their leader.
"Won't that be dangerous? Isn't it better if we solve the situation with the soldiers coming from the capital first?" One of them asked.
"There is no time. If we try to solve one problem after another, we'll fail." Vicente shook his head negatively. "I will leave before the soldiers from the capital reach the city. But first, I'm going to finish a certain project and improve the family's weapons, which still need upgrading.
Anyway, you won't be defenseless. I'll leave Rory in charge, and Bart will be at your disposal. And if you've done your job well, you won't have to worry about soldiers in the short term. You did what I told you, didn't you?"

Vicente would later arrive secretly at Benson's estate to show his master the changes he had undergone.
Benson had been surprised by Vicente on several occasions. Still, when he saw his pupil this afternoon, he was even more surprised to see a Mage with two pentagrams, one orange and one yellow.
Normally, newly advanced Mages would have a red and an orange one, while those with the third essence would have a yellow in their third space. But Vicente was completely abnormal.
After the initial surprise, Benson watched Vicente show what he could do, gaining a better understanding of Vice's new abilities and how they would affect the young man's production of new items.
After a moment of reflection on what he had seen, Benson said, forcing his student to stop meditating and listen. "Vice, now I want you to spend the next few hours getting used to your new powers by using them to forge weapons. Once you've had a few hours of experience, we'll make our first attempt at robot armor."
Vicente had not only shown Benson his special abilities by coming to this estate. He had also talked to his master about how he saw the forging art now that he was a Mage and his opinions on his master's theories regarding robotic armor.
Considering what he had heard from Vicente, Benson felt that his student was prepared, having reached almost the same level of understanding as him on some points.
Vicente would still have to study the 3rd-stage theory, which would take him at least a few weeks, but he already had some insights similar to Benson's.
Considering Vicente's unique ability, Benson thought this young man could already succeed in producing the robotic armor for the first time.
"We won't use the mineral that old Henry gave us yet, but if you succeed, we'll be able to use it in our third attempt within the next six days. Until then, I believe we can make some corrections to the original design to better suit your characteristics." The old man chirped.
Vicente accepted Benson's advice, quickly grabbed the materials his master had given him, and began to use his skills to form new firearms.
In the next few hours, he would create the first weapons and ammunition capable of killing Low-level Mages even when used by mere Acolytes!
