Sword God in a World of Magic

"That reminds me of something else I wanted to say," Shang said.

"What is it?" the dean asked with a neutral voice.

"You asked when I wanted to undergo the procedure, right?" Shang asked.

The dean nodded.

"Is it already fully developed?" he asked.

The dean nodded again.

"So, you wouldn't need any additional time to ready the procedure, right?" Shang asked.

"A day at most, maybe. It depends on what beast I choose," he said with annoyance. "Why are you asking such a pointless question?"

Shang nodded. "Then, it's not that," he said. "It's like this. My first of my available questions for the God has been about what I should do when I arrive here."

The dean's eyes shone a bit.

None of them had brought up the questions yet. After all, these questions could be valuable intel, and it was impossible to verify the information. Both of them could just lie.

"And he said what?" the dean asked. Obviously, Shang wanted to share the answer.

"He said that I should remain in the wilderness for two years before joining society again," Shang said.

The dean nodded. "That's the best course of action for you, and you will learn why when you join your class. This is especially important for you."

"Especially important for me? Why?" Shang asked.

"You have received your answers, and you have received your weapon. However, you have not yet come into contact with your second gift. I presume the God has given you the same thing as me," the dean said.

"What is the second gift?" Shang asked.

"It has two uses. The first use is storage. It's basically a superior Space Ring without the limitations," the dean explained. "The other use is inheritance."

"Inheritance? In what sense?" Shang asked.

"As you have heard, the golden age of the warriors is so far in the past that no one even knows that it has existed in the first place. No ruins from that era have survived until this day, as far as I am aware."

"This means that it is impossible to gain more advanced knowledge for the path of a warrior than I have access to unless you manage to create it yourself. So, for all intents and purposes, I essentially count as the strongest warrior that has ever existed."
