The Apprentice Examination consisted of only two stages. The Forging Potential Examination and the live Armament Forging. In the Forging Potential Examination, the examinee would be tested by a crystal ball, which could determine one's forging potential. Most of the time, the examinees would already fail from this first step and only a few could move on to the final examination. In live Armament Forging, just like its name implied, an examinee will forge an armament. But of course, it was not some high-grade armaments since they were only aspiring master forgers.
However, this Armament Forging Examination was not to be underestimated. After all, what would be the reason why this was the last exam? And depending on what the examiner wanted, the examinees had no right to complain.
Once an examinee passes all of these, they would be entitled as Apprentice Forgers.
