Sword God in a World of Magic

The teacher had arrived.

It was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties. He had some grey hairs here and there, and he carried a sword at his waist.

It was that one teacher that had guarded the academy's gate at the night Shang had arrived.

Shang definitely wasn't the biggest fan of that teacher. For some reason, talking with him was annoying and frustrating.

"Alright, everyone," the teacher announced when he arrived. "Let's get started with today's lesson."

"May I ask a question?" the grey-haired woman asked with a loud but polite voice.

"What is it, Sarah?" the teacher asked.

"Isn't the power of our bodies the very foundation on which the grades are decided?" she asked.

"Yes, so?" the teacher asked with a bit of annoyance.

"Then how come the new person in our grade has a body at the Peak Soldier Stage? He should be part of the Preparation Grade," Sarah asked.

Just as Shang had expected, Sarah was bothered by Shang's presence in her grade.

The teacher frowned with confusion. After hearing Sarah's question, he looked around the gathered students and quickly found the odd one out.

When he saw Shang, the teacher snorted a bit in annoyance. "Of course you would end up in my class," he grumbled mostly to himself.

Shang wasn't certain how he should respond. Should he say sorry? Should he say hello?

In the end, Shang didn't bother with reacting at all and simply did nothing.

"I don't know. Let me ask," the teacher said to Sarah.

"Thank you," Sarah said politely.

The teacher summoned a small crystal and looked into it. "Soran, what's going on? Why is there a Peak Soldier Stage student in my Advanced Grade?"

"Hello, Loran. Isn't it a nice day?" the exasperated voice of Soran came out of the crystal.

"Yes, yes, hello, Soran," the middle-aged teacher, teacher Loran, said with an annoyed voice. "So, why is there a Peak Soldier Stage student in my Advanced Grade?"
