Wow MC has the ability to read minds and yet he won't even take it back?

What a fucking spineless wimp. I really hate these beta MC's.

yeah would realy love to see an MC that make an ultimatum in these kinds of situations were where just says "to do X or die" to these kinds of people, cutting of an arm on top of that for intimidation would be the best.

(ps: if anyone knows a story with MC like that please tell getting sick of all the weak minded MC's)

why would you just leave your super important and expensive sword laying in the open unattended? is the dwarf senile? does he not realize this is his only way to not become a slave to the chinese sweatshop dwarf?

 

[AnotherDuck]

is the dwarf senile?

He has issues. Severe issues.

 

[Wyrm]

My main question is... why is this villain so dumb that he stole a sword he knew was inferior to his own?
That just makes him a criminal without any reason for it. He would have won the competition just by participating normally.
Instead, he stole the sword, which makes him a criminal already, and now it also gives the dwarf incentive to make an even better sword.
He had no reason to do something and it backfires on him. The overall story is pretty cheap, but this chapter is abysmally stupid.

He probly want to win by a landslide totaly crushing his competion, think about it even if he has the best sword there will still be a huge diffrence in the meaning of his victory if he is miles ahead to the 2nd place. Futhermore a Mithrilsword will defenitly draw the attention of others no matter what place it gets since it's not something any run of mile blacksmith can make

Still feels dumb. Taking way more risks than was necessary.
And sabotaging himself in the process.

His "dirt cheap" strategy was already bankrupting all his opponents, so even one single opponent getting this last bit of publicity for a product inferior to his own would have been futile.

He basically is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

it's becouse if this strategy that he can't affort his opponents to get any publicity, he is hemoraging Money like creazy, his strategy is nothing more then a game of chicken to see who goes bankrupt first. Thats why he can't affort to have that drawen blacksmisth get any money at all

Because the smith could likely still sell it for a lot of money to keep his business afloat??????

This is not hard to figure out. Just because you do not see the reason does not mean there is no valid justification.

That just makes him a criminal without any reason for it. He would have won the competition just by participating normally.

Pretty certain he is already a criminal, just one that has not been caught. No evidence, no punishment.
But sabotaging your competition is something shady businesses do, and he is shady as all F.

Wrong.
The dwarf was already on the verge of bankruptcy because he can't match the prices of the villain's shop.
One sword wouldn't have made a difference and he probably wouldn't have been able to sell it for a good price after the competition. Remember, the villain is pushing for high quality products with super-cheap price. And the customers fell for it since there is no regulation (and probably no public awareness) in their world about price dumping.
Granted, he can't do this forever, but this is apparently the last opposition he had, and this competition was the last chance the dwarf had to make a come-back. And he was going to lose it, and his last hopes along with it, had the villain not stolen the sword and bragged about his own.
This was the whole setup and the reason the blacksmithing competition is critical.
So he is a dumb villain. Probably the type blinded by greed and arrogance.

However, this is not necessary a bad character in the sense that people do stupid things out of arrogance even in real life.
Even today, there are real-life examples of people who just can't shut up even as they face legal troubles because of their big mouth.
