Dimensional Descent

If there was ever such a thing as rolling in merit points, Leonel had definitely reached the epitome. The sales his shop reached day in and day out could make even some elders bleed.

Of course, much of these merit points went toward buying more materials to sell even more. However, even with this being the case, the profits alone were astronomical.

There was simply no other place in Valiant City where they could get such cheap high level weapons. It could be said that Leonel single handedly raised the strength of all black and white belts by at least a level. As for blue belts, due to the fact he never sold weapons above the Tier 7 level, their strength remained about the same.

When BLACKSTAR truly began to pick up steam, the Ore Factions made their move, each signing contracts with Leonel. Like this, Leonel didn't even have to worry about acquiring Ores himself. Every week, he would receive a large supply of his own.

It was no surprise, then, that the ones who suffered the most were the King of Ores faction.

Not only had Leonel used their foundation to build the impenetrable BLACKSTAR, but they obviously couldn't sign a contract with Leonel who was now effectively holding what amounted to about a 10-20% share of the Ore Market.

This didn't seem large, but when it was considered that most of the customers the Ore Factions had came from merchants of the Milky Way, the fact Leonel managed to swallow up such a large share was enough to make anyone mad with greed.

All of this said, there was only so large such a small shop could grow. Even setting aside the fact that 70% of all the sold weapons, armors and consumables were crafted by Leonel personally, Valiant Heart was only so large and there were only so many students.

Of course, the consumable and repair market kept the merit points flowing in droves. But even with this accounted for, there was a cap.
