For a while, Shang only remained on the spot, thinking.

'Don't let my past ruin my future,' Shang repeated to himself in his mind.

To Shang, these words had a profound meaning.

When he thought about these words, the night with the bandits returned.

'My past.'

Shang felt like the Water Mage had been right in basically everything she said.

But at the same time, Shang also felt that her words were a bit too simple.

'Ruthlessness is still a necessity in this world. Not dealing with threats might make them even bigger in the future.'

'Leaving the battlefield on the battlefield, huh?'

'I'm not sure if there is a place that's not a battlefield in this world.'

'The teachers say that the academy is safe, but is it truly safe? Have there been no instances of students dying to other students?'

'I don't believe that.'

Shang looked at the place where the unconscious student had just been.

'However, was he truly a threat?'

'Have I not risked the threat becoming an even bigger one by trying to get rid of this small threat? Before my actions, he might have been the only threat, and his threat had been minuscule.'

'However, what about his family? If their child had received some permanent damage, wouldn't they search for revenge? Wouldn't have this little threat turned into a bigger threat then?'

For a while, Shang tried to wrap his head around his new understanding.

After the night of the bandits, Shang's mind had focused on dealing with all the small threats to stop bigger threats from appearing.
