Craig, the only swordman among them, refused to give up without a fight. He was defeated, of course. And easily too. But his willingness to fight impressed Bloodhound, who offered him a place in his society.
Despite the slight hiccup from Craig, Loki still won the competition by a landslide. Then the process of joining a society and becoming a disciple of the Four Directions Sect began in earnest.
Because of Loki, 6 out of the 8 forgers among them joined the Rusty Bolts Society. They joined under Loki while Loki joined Tommy.
According to the rules of society, this means that Loki will earn 10% of all that they earn using the forging technique, while Tommy will earn 10% of everything that Loki earns through the forging technique. They even signed a contract in its effect.
When Loki saw this term in the contract, he said to himself, "This can't be a good sign."
