Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at the new teacher.

The new teacher looked like someone in his early thirties. He had long, emerald green hair, and he wore a green suit of leather armor.

This teacher's appearance surprised Shang. First of all, that teacher didn't wear the normal silver getup that all the other teachers wore. Second of all, he appeared a bit on the younger side for teachers. Most of the teachers looked like they were in their forties or fifties.

"Follow him, boy," the first teacher said to Shang with an annoyed tone.

"Oh, right!" Shang answered. Then, he looked at the new teacher and nodded politely. "Thank you."

"No thanks necessary," the green-haired teacher said with a smile. "After all, you're paying for all of this."

Shang only nodded.

The teacher looked at the others. "Talk to you later," he said.

"Don't abuse him too hard," a woman from the side giggled.

"Why do you always have to do this, Melena?" the teacher asked with a groan. "If you keep doing this, the students will one day start believing your crap."

The other teachers only giggled as they entered the academy.

The teacher watched them leave and sighed. "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your colleagues," the teacher said to Shang.

"You can," came a distant shout from one of the teachers.

"Stuff it!" the teacher shouted back with furrowed brows.

Shang could only hear more laughing.

"Come," the teacher said as he gestured to the school with his head before entering.

Shang followed behind the teacher and looked around. For the first time, Shang could actually see the inside of this legendary academy.

Shang could see empty fields filled with rubble, some clean training places, and even a small forest, which surprised him. Warrior's Paradise was already very limited in terms of space, and the academy just placed a forest here?

"Hide and seek," the teacher in front of Shang said.

"What?" Shang asked.

"Hide and seek," the teacher repeated as he gestured towards the forest. "You won't always fight in open terrain. Sometimes, you are outmatched, and you have to flee. Sometimes, opponents might hide in the area to ambush you. That's what the forest is for."

"Oh, okay. Makes sense," Shang said absentmindedly.

The teacher noticed that Shang was too preoccupied with looking, so he didn't elaborate further.

"The atmosphere between you teachers feels more personal and comfortable than I anticipated," Shang commented suddenly.
