An apprenticeship can take quite a while. It's safe to assume that the other 17 year olds at beacon have been at least training for 4-5 years, probably more than that. So perhaps Adam was Blake's mentor even before the WF turned violent. He may or may not have already been a radical member, unknown to Blake. Then, with the change in leadership, he was favored by the new leaders, and eventually became one of the highest ranking members.
