Shang easily shoved the hand to the side again, making it miss his shoulder.

For a moment, the two of them only looked at each other.

Then, Shang walked to the side, making room for the blonde guy. Without saying anything, Shang simply gestured to the free door.

For a bit, the blonde guy looked at Shang with furrowed brows. On one hand, he could pass now, but on the other hand, Shang had shoved his hand to the side.

The guy definitely didn't like that a mere kid was looking at him like that.

"Tch, don't do something like that again if you want to survive in the academy," the guy spat before he entered the building.

Shang didn't answer, and his eyes didn't follow the guy.

With his actions, Shang had shown that he was willing to comply but also that he wouldn't accept being mistreated.

Shang had shown that it was a bad idea to pick a fight with him, but he had also not provoked the other person. He hadn't insulted him or berated him. He had only dealt with the action that went too far without teaching the other side "a lesson".

Could Shang have verbally attacked the guy after his little verbal provocation?

Sure, but why should he?

It was simply someone that wanted to save some face after receiving a perceived loss.

Many times, when someone felt like they were losing a confrontation or a discussion, they tried to get one last jab in before leaving. Something like that was a bit cowardly, and one could certainly start the entire confrontation again based on that last jab. However, Shang had better things to do than to argue with some random guy.

Many people in Shang's place would have thrown a jab back. After all, he had been verbally attacked, so he had the right to attack back.

But that wasn't Shang.

Why?

Because it was pointless.

It was a waste of time.
