In a way, Shang didn't like hearing that, but he also knew that she was right. At the moment, he was an embarrassment to the class. He had the highest level out of everyone, but he wasn't even close to being the strongest. There were at least two people in this class that could jump levels against him.

Losing to someone of a lower level was always a shameful affair. Sadly, Shang just hadn't had enough time to train.

But hey, that was why he was in the academy.

He specifically came to this academy because he knew that he wasn't experienced when it came to fighting against humans.

Teacher Loran called out the next two pairs, who began to fight pretty quickly. From what Shang saw, teacher Loran was going from strong to weak.

"I will start now. Don't disappoint me," Sarah said with a dark voice.

Shang narrowed his eyes and readied his weapon.

BANG!

And Shang shot forward. He had already learned that taking it easy against these people was a bad idea. They were all warriors, and they had a lot of experience.

Shang closed in on Sarah with incredible speed. However, instead of releasing a strike, he only held his sword in a flexible position. He was using the advantage of his speed by forcing Sarah to act first. With his superior speed, he could react very well against any of her attacks.

Sarah's expression didn't change. Her right hand pulled the huge hammer back, readying it for an attack.

However, her left hand was moving towards Shang and his sword.

Only now did Shang realize that Sarah was wearing gauntlets. Usually, the students only wore their uniforms and their weapons. They didn't wear additional armor. Yet, Sarah did just that.

Why?

For what purpose?

Shang quickly slashed at Sarah's hand. Since she had already offered her arm to him, he might as well accept.

However, just before Shang's sword cut Sarah's arm, Shang felt a feeling of fear and terror come from his sword.

The feeling was nearly as powerful as when Astor was about to hit it with his sword.

Shang very quickly realized what was happening.

Shang knew the nine Affinities, and he also knew that hair color was very often an indicator of one's Affinity.

Shang hadn't seen grey hair before, but he could imagine what Affinity it represented.

Metal.

If Shang could absorb Ice Mana with his left arm, could Sarah absorb Metal Mana with her left arm?
