Stark looked down at the axe on the ground, then at Schiller. Schiller stepped forward as well and said, "The rules mentioned that only Hunters can use weapons."
"Because only Hunters can attack others, the obvious assumption would be that Hunters carry weapons to gain an advantage in a fight. But I'm afraid it isn't that simple."
"This game never explicitly restricted the participants' abilities. In other words, we could very well encounter all kinds of superheroes or Mutants with strange and varied powers. More importantly, most of them don't rely on handheld weapons. So what is this weapon for?"
Stark thought it over and felt Schiller had a point. There were many kinds of fights. If both sides were ordinary people, the one carrying a cold weapon would definitely have the advantage, and the longer and heavier the weapon, the greater that advantage would be.
But if neither side was ordinary, using an unfamiliar weapon might be worse than relying on their familiar abilities. In that case, the axe would have very limited use. Stark firmly believed Schiller wouldn't need an axe to kill someone.
Seen that way, the organizers' actions were somewhat contradictory. Either they should limit everyone's abilities to the level of ordinary people and hand out cold weapons for everyone to hack at one another.
Or, if abilities weren't restricted at all, adding an ordinary cold weapon wouldn't have much impact on the battle.
But from another perspective, people with superpowers had no need for cold weapons. Yet superheroes like Stark, without external armaments and not particularly strong on their own, might gain some fighting power with one. And yet only Hunters could carry weapons.
Could the correct approach be for the weaker person to take the weapon and become the Hunter? But then the team
