Chapter 55 – The Deal in the Midst of Training
"He finally succeeded…" I whispered with a smile. "I'm happy for you, Joe…"
Even though he didn't possess a weapon with special traits, he was already moving steadily along the path without lagging behind the others.
"Well done!" I whispered again with excitement, as I addressed the Trickster Beast:
"Can't you tell whether Joe's weapon is an ancient one or not?"
"That axe?" the beast muttered audibly. "Of course not… in fact, it isn't even a weapon."
"Not in its current state, at least," he added.
"What do you mean?" I asked, surprised.
The beast's mocking voice didn't linger before he explained:
"It's a tree-cutting axe… high-level, extremely valuable… meant for chopping wood."
"But could it be used against those strong monsters?"
"Because it's a high-level axe… tools like it aren't categorized as weapons… so their true value cannot be determined."
