It all started when I met him.
Yes. It all began on the day when I went to the treasury, intending to trade the Merit Points that I won from the Clash of Manors for anything that would be useful to me.
As a Dud, I didn’t really have any use for magical artifacts and the like, so I decided to look for a weapon instead.
It was just that I didn’t know what kind of weapon I would be proficient in. That's why I decided to check out the weapons section, but their prices were beyond the meager 50,000 Merit Points in my possession.
“There’s a funny old man in the Defective Goods section selling shady items for discounted prices,” said a First Year Witch who was several meters away from me.
“Did he have any good items?” a Second-Year Wizard asked back.
“I think everything he was selling is fake,” the Witch replied. “The names of his shady weapons were apparently God Bow of Explosions, Mountain Splitting Sword, and Sea God’s Trident.”
