Sword God in a World of Magic

The first lesson of the day: Swordsmanship.

A couple of students looked weirdly at Shang when they saw him.

They had heard of him before, but they hadn't expected him to be in their Grade. After all, Shang had never shown up to this lesson.

Most other students came from the yellow and blue factions, but there were also a couple of students with black, red, and green uniforms.

There were only five people from the Caterpillar Class in this lesson, and they had vouched for Shang when everyone inevitably started questioning why someone at the Peak Soldier Stage was in their Grade.

Teacher Mervin eventually arrived, and he began the lesson.

"Closing in on spear users," he announced.

After his announcement, a student at the Peak Soldier Stage walked forward.

He was tall, muscular, and had long green hair. A mighty spear was in his right hand.

None of the other students seemed surprised that the student was a level higher than them.

The student with the spear was someone in the Preparation Grade, and they were supposed to help the students in studying. He had to be more powerful to properly control his power and techniques against his opponents.

Of course, the student would earn quite some Contribution Points for performing this service.

After the student stepped forward, teacher Mervin called the first student to the front.

Teacher Mervin didn't explain anything.

He simply sent the student against the spear user.

"Level three," the student said, obviously familiar with how the lesson worked.

After that, the two students began fighting.

In just a couple of seconds, the sword user managed to get past the spear and reach the spear user's body.

At that point, the fight ended.

The two students parted ways, and the next student stepped up.

"Level three."

While one student after the other stepped forward, Shang asked one of the other Caterpillar Class students about what was going on.

The student told Shang that there were different levels of difficulty.

Level one was the easiest, while level five was the hardest.

If a student managed to beat level five, it meant that they could close in on a spear user a level above them.

There were only two students that beat that level, and both of them wore yellow uniforms.
