'I wonder why that is,' Shang thought as he threw the Adept's desecrated corpse to the side.

The once beautiful woman was nothing more than a husk of what she had once been.

The cheering returned as her corpse slowly vanished.

'Why does it not feel as bad to kill Mages as killing warriors?'

'Maybe it has something to do with belonging, privilege, and power? I mean, lots of normal people on Earth don't have sympathy for a millionaire.'

The wheel returned.

"Level three: Powerful Initial Adept."

Then, the wheel began to spin.

'I'm not sure,' Shang thought, 'but I think I'm on to something here.'

Shang scratched his chin as he waited for the wheel to finish spinning.

'Mages have thousands of years of advancements that make it easier for them to become powerful. On top of that comes the fact that some Mages don't view warriors as equals. I mean, I think I didn't speak to one of those before, but I did notice some odd stares from some Mages.'

The wheel stopped at the Lightning Affinity.

'A lot of people from poorer countries have an inherent dislike for people of richer countries, which I can understand. After all, the people of richer countries automatically have it easier in life just due to the simple fact that they had the luck of the draw during birth.'

'They didn't work for their privilege, which could create some anger in some people. Why do they have to work so hard to earn enough money to buy the few scraps of food that keep them alive while others get help from their country?'

After a short burst of light, Shang's opponent appeared in the distance.

It was a young man with short, silver hair. A serious expression was on his face, and he wore spiky, silver robes.

'I mean, I am in an inferior position in life, which could mean that…'

As Shang looked at his opponent, his thoughts stopped.

And then, Shang threw everything he was currently thinking about out of his mind and fully focused on the battle.

What had prompted this change in priorities?

In the man's hand was a floating crystal, and a circlet was slowly and peacefully spinning around it.

'A Focus,' Shang thought as he narrowed his eyes.

'This might be more difficult than I anticipated.'

The jester slowly lifted his hammer and struck the bell.

The Mage opened his eyes, and he looked at Shang with a solemn expression.
