Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at his sword with a lifted eyebrow. Earlier, he had assumed that his sword didn't like the technique because he hadn't perfectly used it. After all, the sword had only been mildly disgusted, not completely.

But apparently, it was the opposite.

The sword really didn't like the technique.

"What don't you like?" Shang asked.

He still felt a bit weird talking to his sword like it was another person or a pet, but he knew that he should get used to it.

Of course, the sword didn't answer.

Shang had a couple of suspicions, but they would need further testing.

So, Shang tried the second technique. All of these techniques were short, singular movements. They weren't a complex array of complicated moves or something like that. At most, they described how one should move one's arms generally and how one should move their legs. One could call these techniques even basic instruction manuals.

When Shang finished the technique, his sword gave feedback again.

It felt a bit weird.

It was like it was eating something with an unknown flavor. It was like it wasn't certain if it should like that flavor or not.

After unleashing the strike and feeling the sword's feedback, Shang stopped with a frown.

He felt the sword's feelings to be familiar.

'Actually, I felt similar to the sword,' Shang thought. 'Although, during the first technique, I wasn't as disgusted as it. However, I still didn't like it.'

'Why is that? Why do I not like this technique?' Shang thought as he scratched his chin.
