Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at the four people plus Stars with an even expression. He had seen this situation coming from a mile away.

'Fucking kids. Every time something doesn't go their way, they have to try to change something instead of realizing that, sometimes, the best way is to simply accept their current situation,' Shang thought with annoyance.

Shang sighed and walked toward the building, which meant that he was effectively walking toward the group.

Shang had seen how the group had let others pass through without any issues, but sure enough, as soon as Shang arrived near them, they stopped before him.

Instead of looking at the group of goons, Shang looked at Stars with a bored expression. "Is this what you decided to be the best course of action?" he asked.

Stars definitely didn't like Shang's lack of fear or respect. Didn't that guy know that he was surrounded by four students of the Warrior's Academy? Every single student had great potential, and there were no weak ones. Being surrounded by four warriors outside might not be that bad, but in this school, it was bad.

None of these four students was weak.

"This wasn't my choice, but yours," Stars said with a helpless sigh. "If you hadn't tried to disrespect me, I would have simply let you go, you know?"

"Do you not realize where we are?" Stars asked helplessly as he slowly shook his head. "This is the Warrior's Academy. You can't afford to be disrespectful to others, or you will find yourself at the end of a blade. If you want to make it here, you have to defend your honor if someone disrespects you."

"You gave me no other choice."

It wasn't hard for Shang to see through that bullshit.

One had to defend one's honor?

No?

It wasn't hard to just walk away. As long as someone didn't physically attack someone else, it wasn't necessary to start a fight. They couldn't even fight with their weapons, which meant that they wouldn't even get any fighting experience with their weapon.

On top of that, Contribution Points couldn't even be transferred between students. That rule existed to stop the top few students from cannibalizing the bottom 90%. Sure, the academy didn't have anything against students fighting against each other, but they didn't want 90% of the students to be essentially crippled.

In short, there was literally no point in them fighting. No one would benefit.

It was simply kids doing kids' stuff.
