Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang opened his eyes.

'What happened?' he thought with a scrambled mind.

He felt the ground beneath his hands.

'Why am I on the ground?'

Then, the pain hit Shang.

He felt incredible pain coming from his left cheek, and he spit out pieces of blood and bone.

Shang's last memory was of him killing that one student.

So, why was he on the ground now?

Shang slowly sat up and looked at his surroundings.

The surrounding students were looking at him with mixed expressions.

Some of the expressions were filled with disgust.

Some of them were cold.

Some of them were sympathetic.

Then, Shang noticed a big bubble of water levitating around ten meters away from him. The bubble of water was where Shang had just been before waking up here.

He saw a woman with long blue hair in front of the bubble of water, her hands holding a staff with a blue gem on it.

Shang realized that she was probably the Water Mage responsible for healing students.

Shang heard the whispers of some of the students in the surroundings.

They were calling him a maniac.

They were calling him a crazy person.

They were calling him a monster.

Shang didn't react to these whispers.

He had calmed down by now, and a feeling of emptiness had appeared inside his chest.

For a long while, Shang only silently sat on the ground, looking absentmindedly in the distance.

'Did I lose control?' Shang thought.

Everyone around Shang continued whispering, but Shang didn't hear it. To him, the world was silent.

'Did I do the right thing?'

Silence.
