Sword God in a World of Magic

The three of them walked towards the south of the academy. There were plenty of places to climb the wall, and one was also inside the academy. Of course, students were forbidden from climbing the walls, and the teachers and guards made sure that they followed the rules.

Surprisingly, not all the students and teachers entered from this place. Some of them went to the west or east, while Shang went to the south. It was up to the teacher to decide where they wanted the student to watch.

The southern end was the most dangerous since it directly faced the Canyon, a place filled with Commander Stage beasts.

Because of that, most teachers went to the west or east.

As they reached the southern wall, they saw a guard standing in front of the stairs.

The guard looked at teacher Niria and smiled. "Niria, I've just gotten word from the general. You will be joining the western assault team."

Teacher Niria nodded. "That's what I thought."

"Have fun out there!" the guard said with a smile, "and, don't worry, we'll take care of your two students."

"Thanks," teacher Niria said with a nod.

And then, she left the two students without a word.

"You must be Shang, right?" the guard asked as he looked at Shang.

Shang nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, come on! Don't be so stiff!" the guard said as he strongly put his hand on Shang's shoulder. "Today, you are one of us, even if you only watch. Relax a little. Have some fun."

"I will. Thanks," Shang said emotionlessly.

The guard lifted an eyebrow and looked at Yiral. "Is he always like this?" he asked.

Yiral only emotionlessly looked at the guard. "I don't know."

Silence.

"Well, alrighty then," the guard said awkwardly. "Come, I'll show you where you will stay."

The guard climbed the stairs, and the two students followed.

After a bit of climbing, the three of them entered a big room inside one of the big towers.

"Sir!" the guard shouted as he saluted.

A middle-aged man in golden armor was checking several gigantic arrows leaning on the side of the room. Obviously, these were the arrows for the gigantic ballista on the wall.

The man in the golden armor had short, black hair. Shang couldn't feel any form of Mana emanating from him.

After hearing the greeting, the officer looked over. "These two are Niria's students?" he asked.
