Shang walked towards the exit of the academy. He wanted to go straight to the Hunter's Guild to earn some gold.

But when Shang went past the gate of the academy, he noticed the teacher guarding the gate.

There was always a teacher present. During the night, it was teacher Loran, but during the day, there were always different teachers. It probably depended on the schedule for the day.

This time, Shang recognized the teacher guarding the gate.

"Teacher Mervin," Shang greeted respectfully.

The older man was standing at the side of the gate like a statue. In comparison to teacher Loran, he seemed to take his job much more seriously.

Teacher Mervin was one of the three teachers that had supervised Shang's entrance exam. As far as Shang knew, teacher Mervin was responsible for teaching swordsmanship.

Teacher Mervin looked at Shang, and a small glint of recognition appeared in his eyes.

"You've done something you regret," teacher Mervin commented.

"What do you mean?" Shang asked calmly.

"You are blind to your own emotions," he said. "I have seen many people in similar situations. I know what they look like."

"And what do they look like?" Shang asked.

"Distracted, stressed, active," teacher Mervin answered.

"Active?" Shang asked. The first two made sense, but the third one?

"You can't stand to do nothing," teacher Mervin said. "Whenever you find a moment of calm, your memories haunt you. It's impossible for you to calm down."

"I don't think that's true," Shang said.

"When was the last time you slept?" teacher Mervin asked.

Shang's mind went through his memories.

When was the last time he had slept?
