Sword God in a World of Magic

Time passed.

Shang's conviction had been reaffirmed by the Day of Chaos.

This time, he had been helpless during the Day of Chaos, but in the future, he wouldn't be as helpless.

Right now, Shang was at a level of power where he didn't count as relevant to any major cities. Sure, Shang could probably become a high-ranking officer in a town, but his goals went much further than that.

Shang trained until the life in the academy went back to normal. The piles of corpses had been cleaned up by the hunters and had been sold for profit.

Warrior's Paradise had spent a ridiculous sum of money for the Day of Chaos, but it had earned far more.

This was what Warrior's Paradise was all about: Finding profit in danger!

And thus, Shang's life in the Warrior's Academy continued.

During the mornings, Shang took part in whatever theoretical lesson was available. The lessons mostly consisted of politics, geography, and Magic.

During the afternoon, Shang took part in the lesson for the Caterpillar Class.

During the evening, Shang took part in either sword training or in beast classes.

During the early night, Shang trained with Sword.

During the late night, Shang either concentrated on his Affinity or went to sleep. Of course, he still slept very rarely.

Days passed.

A week passed.

Two weeks passed.

Shang went to sleep again. He felt like shit again, but it wasn't as bad as the previous times. With each time he went to sleep, he adapted more and more.

A month passed.

By now, Shang had been in the academy for two months.

"Seems like you win again, Shang!" Astor shouted with a loud laugh.

By now, Shang had managed to increase his win rate against Astor to above 50%.

"I still have an advantage in level," Shang said to Astor.

"So? Don't compare yourself to others but look at your past self. Yes, you are at a higher level than me, but you have made tremendous progress. Right now, I'm learning more from you than you from me during our fights," Astor said with a smile.

In the beginning, Astor had appeared a bit proud and distant, but by now, he had warmed up to Shang.

Astor was actually a very sociable warrior. He was the typical, gruff warrior one would imagine.
