Sword God in a World of Magic

During the first Day of Chaos, Shang had been under Yiral's protection the entire time. If Yiral hadn't been there, Shang would have died many times over.

During the second Day of Chaos, Shang managed to survive on his own. Well, at least as long as one ignored all the guards that dealt with all the beasts.

Shang had learned even more during his second Day of Chaos, and he took a several-days-long break from his classes to work on his own fighting style.

Shang returned to class, but his Battle-Strength seemingly hadn't changed.

That was because he was fighting humans.

When it came to beasts, Shang had become much more powerful over the last couple of days.

A month passed.

"Guess who's back!" Astor shouted with a wide smile as he arrived at the Preparation Grade Caterpillar Class lesson.

Astor had reached the Peak Soldier Stage!

Shang only smirked.

The two of them quickly fought.

Shang lost horribly.

By now, Shang was slightly above-average in the Preparation Grade Caterpillar Class, while Astor was outstanding.

He could already attempt to fight for the top spot in the Preparation Grade.

After the fight, Astor looked at Shang with shock.

"Man, you've become really powerful!" he said. "It's hard to imagine that you have only been here for a bit more than half a year!"

Yes, Astor had won convincingly, but the fight hadn't been easy for him. He didn't need to unleash his Affinity, but he had to fight with everything else he had.

For the first time, Shang could see his actual progress.

Astor was no longer a level weaker than Shang, but Shang had still managed to fight him for quite some time.

Of course, this fight had been a one-time thing. Shang was still a bit too weak to teach Astor something right now.

Because of that, Shang had to fight someone else from the Preparation Grade while Astor fought the most powerful students.

Another month passed.

"You will join the next practical lesson and watch from the side."

Shang looked with shock at the person that had suddenly spoken to him.

It was Vice-Dean Ranos!

Vice-Dean Ranos had never spoken to Shang!

"Yes?" Shang asked.

"You should know enough about Mages by now, and the Dean needs you to prove your power against Mages in the future," Vice-Dean Ranos told Shang. "The procedure is to close the gap between warriors and Mages, and winning against Mages is the best way to prove that the procedure works."

"For now, you don't need to fight them. Simply watch the other students fight them and learn from their fights."

Shang only nodded. "Alright. I also think it might be time for me to see how warriors and Mages fight."
