Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang took a deep breath. It was definitely a huge risk to tell teacher Niria about his one-of-a-kind Affinity.

However, this was still the safest bet.

First of all, teacher Niria already knew that Shang had more than just a Darkness Affinity, which meant that she already knew that his Affinity had to be very special.

Second, teacher Niria had already indirectly taken the first step. If she hadn't given Shang several hints, he would have never found out that teacher Niria had a Darkness Affinity. In a way, she had tested Shang's intellect and had also shown him her trust.

She had taken the first step by unveiling her own secret.

On top of that, teacher Niria was probably the only person that could help Shang without too much risk.

The dean?

Shang doubted that the dean would help him. The dean seemed like a very strict parent to Shang. If Shang asked him for help in that matter, not only would the dean not help him, but he would probably even call Shang weak.

It was Shang's responsibility to become more powerful. The fact that he was allowed to study in this academy was already more than enough help.

"At the moment, I have four Pure Affinities," Shang said.

"That's impossible," teacher Niria said, "but I don't believe you're lying. Prove it."

Shang pointed to the side, and his arm shone with a bit of light for a second. Luckily, they were alone right now. Shang trusted in teacher Niria's capability to notice if someone tried to spy on them.

Teacher Niria hadn't been shocked by the light. She had already anticipated that Shang also had a Light Affinity.
