Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang left the fourth floor and went to the second one. Soran had said that Shang would find his room near the beginning of the second floor.

When Shang arrived on the second floor, he saw a long hallway with a lot of doors. Shang guessed that the rooms weren't very big based on how close the doors were to each other.

Shang wasn't quite sure which room was supposed to be his, but he knew that he only needed to test his Emblem on the different rooms. The one that reacted to it would be his.

Shang went to the first door on the right and held his Emblem to it.

Click.

And it unlocked.

Shang was surprised when the very first door unlocked, and he looked at his card. 'Did I just get lucky, or is my card defect?'

Shang went to the room beside it and tried his Emblem.

The door didn't react.

Shang tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.

Shang nodded. His Emblem wasn't defective, and the very first room was his. He walked back to his room and opened his door.

"What?" someone said with annoyance as they opened the door where Shang had just been at.

Shang looked over and saw a gruff and muscular boy, probably around his age. At least, that was what Shang was assuming. Those muscles made it hard for Shang to associate this boy with a teenager.

"Sorry, I wasn't sure which my room was, so I tested my card on your door," Shang said with as friendly of a tone as he could. For some reason, trying to be friendly felt very tiring to him.

The boy looked over at Shang with an evaluating expression. "I don't know you. Are you new here?" he asked.

Shang nodded. "Special exam. Joined just today," he answered.

"Oh?" the boy commented with surprise. "What class have you been assigned to?"

"The Caterpillar Class."
