Sword God in a World of Magic

"How much should I ask for?" Shang asked.

"No less than 2,000 gold," the teacher said.

Shang's eyes widened.

2,000 gold?!

He had 27!

The overpriced ore in the academy was worth only around 200 gold!

"How much would it be worth under normal circumstances?" Shang asked in shock.

"Around 500 gold," the teacher said, "and that's considering its rough condition. A well-preserved corpse can go for 800."

"And the young ones?" Shang asked.

"Around 50 gold," she said. "You can't compare Soldier Stage beasts with General Stage beasts. Why do you think there are so many hunters here? General Stage beasts are worth a lot of money."

Normal Vanishing Snakes were already at the Late Soldier Stage, while the adult variant was at the Initial General Stage. Yet, that already increased the price by more than a matter of ten!

Shang remembered the reason why the academy wanted collateral of five gold for every special exam.

Sure enough, powerful warriors could earn money easily.

"Go to the Curio Trinket in Warrior's Paradise. It's a shop at the edge of the market. They should be interested in that corpse," the teacher said. "Tell them teacher Niria sent you."

That surprised Shang. "Why are you helping me to this degree? This doesn't sound like the normal kind of help."

"I can respect potential and power," teacher Niria said neutrally. "Additionally, you might not know it, but we are connected."

"Connected?" Shang asked.

"When you realize what I mean, and if you are willing to trust me, you can ask me after class, but I won't elaborate on that matter," she said. "You have your way, and I have my way."

This threw Shang for a loop.

He had no idea what she was talking about.

Obviously, she wasn't romantically interested in him. Shang saw absolutely no signs of attraction in teacher Niria's demeanor. On top of that, they had just met.

Either she was crazy, or she knew something that Shang didn't.

'Is the dean not the only other person from Earth?' Shang thought.

"I will go back to the academy," teacher Niria said.

Shang had questions, but he saw in Niria's demeanor that she wasn't interested in talking anymore.
