Sword God in a World of Magic

"Has Master told you what the Caterpillar Class represents?" Soran asked.

"No, but I can guess what it's for," Shang answered. "It's probably a class designed for warriors to reach the True Path Stage in the future, right?"

"Oh?" Soran uttered in surprise. "How did you find out?"

"The name and also the dean's advice," Shang said. "I presume the students of the Caterpillar class are weak in the beginning just so they can build upon their foundations until they explode forward in power. Just like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Additionally, the dean told me that I should hone my Battle-Strength as much as I can before reaching the General Stage."

"Correct," Soran said with a nod. "By the way, when is your procedure scheduled?"

"Not for another 18 months or so."

Soran lifted an eyebrow. "That's quite a long time. It seems like Master puts a lot of emphasis on your growth. In my eyes, your Battle-Strength is already enough for you to reach the General Stage."

Then, Soran shrugged. "However, that's why I'm a Commander Stage warrior and why Master is a True Path Stage Warrior. He knows better than me."

"Anyway," Soran said as he took out a book from his Space Ring. "This is a copy of the rules and your schedule."

Shang took the book into his hands.
