Sword God in a World of Magic

After the gate opened, Alex stepped through it.

Society!

Finally, he was back amongst humans!

"Did you get a good harvest?" the guard from earlier asked Alex with a smirk.

Alex immediately became nervous.

Would they confiscate his belongings?

When the guards saw Alex's reaction, they laughed. Obviously, after confirming the authenticity of Alex's document, they had all relaxed.

"You don't need to worry. If the Duke wanted us to inspect your belongings, he would have written it down on your document," one of the guards said. The guard walked closer and put his hand on Alex's shoulder.

At least, he tried to.

Alex stepped away from the hand out of reflex.

After living in the wilderness for such a long time, Alex became careful of any physical contact.

The guard blinked in confusion as he saw Alex step away, and he awkwardly lowered his hand.

"Man, you're a suspicious one," the guard said with a bitter smile.

Alex became a bit embarrassed. "Sorry. I've been in the wilderness for six whole months. I'm not used to talking with other humans."

The guard smiled and nodded. "That's understandable. We also have to live in the wilderness as part of our training, but we have our team with us. I can't imagine how lonely it must have been to be all alone in a forest."

The entire feeling and atmosphere the guards gave off had changed.

The guards had appeared stalwart, careful, and aggressive when Alex had come.

But now, the guards didn't feel any different than the police on Earth.

They simply talked to Alex casually.

"That's a nice sword," one of the guards said as he looked at Alex's sword. "Who made that?"

Alex subconsciously protected his sword. "I don't remember," he said.

Surprisingly, the guard nodded understandingly. Apparently, Duke Whirlwind had written about Alex's memory loss in the document he had handed Alex.

"Too bad. Hey, you really don't need to be that careful. Our equipment is good enough, and if it gets out that we are trying to steal from one of the Duke's guests, our heads will roll," the guard said.

Alex wasn't sure how he should respond to that.

He had already said sorry earlier, and saying sorry again would sound awkward.

Instead, an awkward silence came down on the camp of guards.
