Sword God in a World of Magic

Astor said his goodbyes and left.

Shang wanted to talk with Mattheo, but Mattheo had already left while Shang was talking with Astor.

Before the lesson began, Mattheo had said that his father owned the Warrior's Academy. Together with his father's focus on Magic, Shang was already pretty certain who Mattheo's father was.

It was probably Duke Whirlwind.

Shang didn't think that Mattheo was the dean's son. After all, the dean probably wouldn't have pushed Mattheo so hard into the path of a Mage.

Sadly, Shang couldn't confirm his guess since Mattheo had already left.

After the lesson, Shang wasn't certain what he should do right now. He had finally reached his goal of upgrading his weapon, and he had finally managed to learn more about his swordsmanship.

Now, he could fully focus on learning.

Without a good weapon, Shang had been in a troublesome situation since he hadn't been able to work on his techniques.

'Well, I guess it's time to learn. At the moment, I don't need money or Contribution Points, and I also don't need to train against beasts.'

'For now, I should focus on accumulating knowledge, on my techniques, and on fighting other humans.'

'Seems like I'm going to visit a couple of lessons.'

Shang left the training field and went to his room to check the schedule. There was always a small break between classes for exactly this reason.

'Another lesson for beast knowledge starts soon,' Shang read.

'Alright, let's start the learning process!'

Shang quickly left his room and entered the meeting room. A couple of students looked at him with weird expressions, but they didn't interact with him.

Teacher Niria arrived rather quickly and began her lesson.

"Foreign beasts in the northwestern forest," she announced.

The last time Shang had been here, teacher Niria had talked about foreign beasts in the northeastern forest.

It seemed like the northwestern forest also had foreign species.
