Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex was quite surprised when he heard that.

Hadn't the God said that Alex should spend more time in the wilderness? As far as Alex could recall, the God had said that Alex should remain in the wilderness for about two years.

Had Alex progressed that quickly?

Alex's ego wanted to accept that reasoning, but he refused to underestimate a God.

The God probably wanted Alex to gain even more experience in combat.

However, Alex honestly didn't want to spend even more time in the wilderness.

He wanted to live among humans again!

"How can I get to this academy?" Alex asked.

"Go towards the eastern end of the garden. You will find a service entrance there. That entrance is for the keepers and the gardeners, and it has a couple of guards stationed there. When you leave the garden, you will quickly find a bigger village. Ask around for directions to Warrior's Paradise. That's a city, and when you get there, it will be easy to find the academy," Duke Whirlwind said as he took out a piece of paper and a pen.

Then, Duke Whirlwind started scribbling on the piece of paper and put his thumb on the bottom of the paper.

A second later, he gave Alex the piece of paper.

"Show that to the guards at the service entrance. The guards will confiscate it and destroy it according to protocol, so don't be worried. You can leave after that," Duke Whirlwind said.

Alex looked at the paper.

Scribbles.

Alex couldn't discern anything on the paper, and he started to panic a bit.

'Wait, so I can understand and speak the language of this world, but I can't read it? Do I actually have to learn to read again?!' Alex thought.

Duke Whirlwind looked at Alex's face in confusion, but he chuckled a bit later.

"It's written in code," Duke Whirlwind said. "You can't read it."

"Oh!" Alex shouted in relief.

After releasing a sigh, Alex bowed politely to Duke Whirlwind. "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Also, I am sorry for the damage I have done to your garden while living here. When I have money, I will repay everything."

Duke Whirlwind waved dismissively. "You can't eat and kill enough to do any form of damage to my garden. Additionally, you said you exchanged food for the Earth Fruit Hedgehog's fruits. That's usually the job of the keepers of this area. After all, the Earth Fruit Hedgehog needs to expend a lot of Mana to create its Mana Source. In a way, you actually worked for me."

"You don't need to repay me for anything," Duke Whirlwind said.

"Thank you, sir," Alex said.

However, he now felt even guiltier.

Sure, the duke might not care about the small things, but Alex had also taken the Ice Mana Source. Additionally, without Alex, the Old Ice Octopus would still be alive.
