Sword God in a World of Magic

Knock, knock, knock.

Shang opened his eyes. He had finished his routine training a couple of hours ago, and he had been concentrating on his Affinity ever since. He felt like he was close to achieving another breakthrough with his Affinity.

Shang stood up and walked to the door.

After opening it, Shang saw Vice-Dean Soran in front of him.

The hall was very dark, and Shang's inner clock told him that it was about two hours before dawn.

"Follow me," Vice-Dean Soran said with a solemn tone.

Then, Vice-Dean Soran walked over to the stairs.

Shang followed.

After they arrived at the stairs, Vice-Dean Soran walked to an empty wall and put his emblem on it.

A complicated pattern appeared on the wall, and a second later, the wall parted.

Now, there was a set of stairs in front of Shang that led downward.

Apparently, the main building of the Warrior's Academy also had a basement.

Shang followed Vice-Dean Soran into the underground, and the wall closed behind them. At the same time, several crystals on the wall began to shine.

Shang could feel Light Mana coming from them.

The two of them walked down the stairs for around a minute in silence before they arrived in front of another door.

"This is the place where the academy stores its most valuable wares," Vice-Dean Soran said. "You are encouraged to keep this place a secret."

Shang only nodded.

Vice-Dean Soran opened the door, and the two of them entered.

A dimly lit hallway was in front of Shang now with several old wooden doors at the side.

As soon as Shang entered the hallway, he felt like he had been submerged in a wave of Elemental Mana.

Surprisingly, the majority of the Elemental Mana was Darkness Mana.

'I've already suspected that the academy also sells Darkness ore,' Shang thought.

"Surprised?" Vice-Dean Soran asked.

"By what?" Shang asked.
