Because I never attack, all the better gears went to Raphtalia. After all, the Hero of the Shield only has the potential in defending, that’s why my defence is so high. But the price for that is having 1/10th of attack power.
The only difference between a resident of this world and a hero are the effects granted by this shield.
If I didn’t have these effects, I would never be able to beat a monster with just defence.
After all, the only reason a hero is different from a normal person was because of the legendary weapon.
It could be considered that you are only a hero because you have the legendary weapon.
