YM778.TV Chapter 121: Defective Goods [Part 2]
————————
With a single slash of this sword, an entire mountain will be split in half. Perfect when you plan to fight against Earth Type Creatures because it can instantly kill them with a single strike… maybe.
According to eyewitnesses, this sword has been tested against a block of tofu. With a single strike, the tofu is cut in half, so the fact that it can cut something is guaranteed!
You can get this amazing weapon for the incredibly low price of 30,000 Merit Points!
P.S. We don\'t accept Refunds.

This dagger can call upon a thunderstorm that will rain lightning bolts upon you and your enemies! According to the eyewitnesses of the first person who used this dagger, the first lightning bolt will always hit its wielder first, but since lightning doesn\'t hit the same place twice, you\'ll be fine… maybe.
Note: Lightning can hit the same place more than twice. This has been proven by the second owner of this dagger. What happened to him? Let\'s just say that he made a shocking discovery before turning into charcoal!
You can get this amazing weapon for the incredibly low price of 50,000 Merit Points!
P.S. This dagger doesn\'t come with Life Insurance. Make sure to get yourself insured before you use this dagger in a fight!

As the name suggests, every time you fire an arrow using this bow, it will explode the moment it hits its target, similar to a Fire Bullet spell.
You can get this amazing weapon for the incredibly low price of 20,000 Merit Points!
P.S. There is a fifty-fifty chance that your arrow will explode right in front of your face every time you use it.
There is also a 15% chance that your arrow will be imbued with a Fireball Spell. But since there is a fifty-fifty chance of explosions, the chances of that fireball exploding in your face are fifty-fifty as well.
The reason why this is called the God Bow of Explosions is that you have a fifty-fifty chance to see God every time you use it.

The more Ethan read the information about the Defective Goods on display, the more he thought that whoever made this Section must have a few screws loose in their head.
Each item on display in the Section had a very domineering name like Divine Rapier, Exodia Card, Ultimate Final Fantasy, 1000 Hit Combo Knuckles, and the like, but the descriptions of the items were very sketchy as hell.
Not to mention, their prices ranged from 20,000 Merit Points up to 100,000 Merit Points.
Even if Ethan were to have over 100,000 Merit Points in hand, he wouldn\'t consider buying any of the items there.
More often than not, the possibility of getting killed by these Magical Artifacts or them not working when you needed them the most was high.
It was simply ridiculous, and the handsome teenager wondered if there was a single sane soul in Brynhildr Academy who would actually purchase any of the items on the list.
Just as Ethan was about to turn a corner, he saw George and the Staff of the Treasury, standing in front of a display casing that showcased a plain-looking War Axe.
"You have good eyes, young man," an old man wearing an eye patch said with a smile. "This War Axe is called the God of War Axe. According to history, this War Axe had slain over a hundred Gods in the past.
"Its previous owner, Kratos, decided to donate it here in Brynhildr Academy so that it can be wielded by the next God Slayer. The moment I saw you walk into the treasury, I immediately knew that you are a man of great courage and valor. Even now, I can tell that the God of War Axe is calling out to you."
"Hahaha! You have good eyes, old man," George replied with a smug expression on his face. "Although I didn\'t feel anything upon seeing this War Axe, I believe that what you say is the truth.
"Do you know? I am one of the members of Dud Manor who fought against the tournament and won all my matches. A single slap from me sent all my enemies flying. They didn\'t even get the chance to say their last words!"
"Amazing!" the old man, who had the smile of a scammer, praised George after hearing his bragging. "I knew it! This God of War Axe was left here to become yours. It is our best-selling item as well!"
"Um? What do you mean \'best selling item\'?" George blinked. "Isn\'t this one of a kind?"
"Ah! I\'m sorry," the old man immediately tried to correct the mistake he made due to a slip in the tongue. "I mean, this is the best-selling weapon that I want to sell, but this weapon is very picky. It only allows heroes to touch it for the first time. How about you try it?"
George raised his chin arrogantly before opening the case and held the War Axe firmly with his hands. He then took it casually out of the case as if it were nothing, making the old man clap in awe and admiration.
"Indeed! You are the chosen one!" the old man stated. "The man among men! The Dragon among Dragons! The Hero among Heroes!"
George then admired the plain-looking War Axe and tried a few practice swings with it.
"Its balance is perfect," George commented. "It was as if this weapon was specially made just for me."
"Young man, I already told you that this is our best selling ite—I mean, our Best Legendary Weapon here in this section," the old man said with a smile. "How about I wrap it for you before you change your mind? Just remember, we don\'t accept refunds, okay?"
"But this weapon costs 100,000 Merit Points," George stated. "I only have 50,000 Merit Points."
"Hahaha! You are in luck, young man, right now, we are having a sale." The old man said as he hastily placed the War Axe inside a wooden box that would serve as its storage and even tied a red ribbon to it. "You said you only have 50,000 Merit Points, right? You came here at the right time because all items here are now 50% off for a day!"
George looked at the old man in surprise, but this surprise didn\'t last long as the Third Year smiled from ear to ear.
"This must be Fate at work," George commented. "Very well, since you convinced me, old man, I\'ll be taking this God of War Axe with me."
"Excellent choice!" The old man clapped his hands. "Now, just sign this No Refund Contract, and this weapon is as good as yours."
George didn\'t even blink and hastily signed the No Refund Contract before placing his hand over a crystal ball. All his Merit Points were then transferred to the old man, who was smiling from ear to ear.
Chloe, who was standing beside Ethan, tugged at his robe and whispered something in his ear.
"Should we not stop this trade?" Chloe whispered. "I\'m afraid that George is getting scammed."
Ethan nodded and was about to step in when he heard a familiar voice reach his ear.
"Don\'t interfere. Sometimes, people need to learn their lessons the hard way. However, even though that War Axe is not really the God of War Axe, it is still a decent Magical Weapon that will serve your friend well."
The Chesmire Cat\'s voice said in a teasing manner, stopping Ethan in his tracks.
The handsome teenager scanned his surroundings, but he couldn\'t see the sign of the cat anywhere.
Due to this sudden lapse in judgment, Ethan wasn\'t able to do anything as George happily left the scene, holding the Wooden Box where his new weapon was stored.
Suddenly, the old man glanced in Ethan\'s and Chloe\'s direction before giving them a business smile, which made Chloe take a step back.
"Welcome, dear customers," the old man greeted. "My name is James. May I interest you in buying some Legendary Weapons for a very affordable price? All items are 50% off and it is only limited for today. Grab one of these items, and I promise you that you will not regret it… for a day or two."
Ethan and Chloe glanced at each other before nodding at the same time.
They then backed away as fast as they could from the Defective Good Section, leaving the old man looking at them with a smile that made him look like an old bandit who would not hesitate to steal a lollipop from a baby.
