Sword God in a World of Magic

After Shang left the Curio Trinket, he paused.

'Teacher Niria seems to be really good at bartering. She told me that I should accept no less than 2,000 gold, but as soon as I told the guy that teacher Niria told me what I should accept, he gave me more. Glad I didn't make a direct offer.'

Shang looked at the second beast sack he was carrying. He had decided to mask his gold by putting it into a second beast sack. He didn't want anyone to become suspicious of his wealth. Additionally, Shang had entered the shop with two beast sacks, and he was now exiting with two beast sacks. It would look like his trade had failed.

No one knew that the contents of the second beast sack had changed to pure gold.

After exiting the shop, Shang directly traveled to the academy. An unknown teacher was guarding the gate, and Shang gave them a quick greeting before entering.

Shang directly walked toward the main building. He wanted to put the gigantic sack of gold away first.

Sadly, things didn't go as smoothly as he had expected.

As soon as Shang approached the main building, his eyes narrowed.

He had noticed three boys looking at his beast sacks, and Shang had also noticed that they seemed rather tense. They were all around 16 or 17 years old, which meant that they were well in the Middle Soldier Stage.

Ironically, this was the most dangerous spot to be in.

At that level, the students would no longer belong to the truly weak ones, but they also wouldn't have enough experience to tell if someone was truly dangerous or not. Because of that, the Intermediate Grade had the most fights.

And the grade that suffered the most was the Beginner Grade.

The Intermediate Grade would most often target 14- and 15-year-old students. These students could earn a lot of money, but they were also far weaker and less experienced than the students in the Intermediate Grade.

Because of that, the Beginner Grade was the most horrible grade to be in, thanks to the Intermediate Grade.

However, the Intermediate Grade was walking on a tightrope. They could probably dominate over 90% of all people in the Beginner Grade, but they also wouldn't notice the most powerful 10% of the Beginner Grade.

But these people could tell that Shang was powerful. They didn't know how powerful he was exactly, but they had seen how he had dominated a couple of Early Soldier Stage kids.

This meant that he had to be, at least, in the Middle Soldier Stage. Maybe, he even was in the Late Soldier Stage.

But that's also why they came with three people at once.

On top of that, they were rather confident in taking down Shang.

Why?

Well, there was one familiar face among the people.

It was Shang's neighbor, the one he had met when he had searched for his room.

When that guy heard that Shang was part of the Caterpillar Class, he had smirked and told him that he had entered hell.
