Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at teacher Loran and teacher Mervin. Both of them didn't seem to be in good spirits.

"Yes?" Shang asked emotionlessly.

Teacher Mervin had a calm expression on his face, while teacher Loran frowned.

Teacher Mervin looked at teacher Loran and then at Shang. "I am here as a mediator," he said.

Shang scoffed. "Mediator?" he asked. "Weren't you on his side when he tried to threaten me into following his demands?"

"No, I was not," teacher Mervin said.

This surprised Shang.

Teacher Mervin wasn't?

But hadn't teacher Loran said that teacher Mervin was on his side?

Shang looked at teacher Loran with furrowed brows.

"I assumed they were on board, but they weren't," teacher Loran grumbled.

Shang narrowed his eyes.

Not only had teacher Loran wanted to threaten Shang into compliance, but he had also lied about the stance of the other teachers.

"While I agree with teacher Loran's goals," teacher Mervin said, "I don't agree with his methods."

"I believe following his advice is the correct choice for you, but I think he hasn't communicated his advice correctly."

Teacher Loran only snorted.

Shang had already learned that teacher Loran was basically a stubborn old man stuck in his ways.

Getting him to admit to a mistake was basically impossible.

"Shang, we three will not stand in your way if you want to pursue special training," teacher Mervin said. "I also talked with teacher Olga, and she is in agreement. While we do wish for you to change for the better, we won't force this upon you."

"We are your teachers. You are our student. We can teach you what is right or wrong, but we can't force you to follow our advice. Doing so would be denying your individuality."

"We can use our experienced eyes to search for the best path, but only you can walk it."

By now, Shang had calmed down a lot.

The fact that teacher Loran had essentially threatened him with his future had irked Shang to no end.
