Sword God in a World of Magic

The Dean and Shang talked for about two more hours, and the Dean also told Shang about his progress.

In the last two months, the Dean had managed to perform another successful procedure. This was now the third successful procedure the Dean had managed to perform.

Shang had been the first.

The second one had been performed about three months ago on someone with a warrior's body and good resistance to pain.

The newest one had been completed a couple of days ago, and it had been performed on someone with a weak resistance to pain but with a warrior's body.

"This means the procedure is now safe for everyone with a warrior's body?" Shang asked.

The Dean nodded. "Correct. Jerald managed to create a Spell that suppresses the Mana of someone with a warrior's body, which means that the patient doesn't need to be awake anymore during the procedure, making resistance to pain irrelevant."

"It isn't completely safe, but I don't have to follow the draconian restrictions regarding medicine from Earth in this world," the Dean said. "It's not a big issue if some patients die."

"The Spell can be performed by any True Mage, and the procedure can also be performed by Soran and Ranos. It's no longer necessary to have Jerald and me present during the procedure."

As Shang listened to the Dean, he realized that the day when every warrior could undergo the procedure was not far into the future.

The world was about to change.

"I will let Ranos and Soran perform one more procedure each to see if they can be trusted with it. And then…"

"We can go public."

Shang nodded. "Do you need me to do anything?"

"For now, you can return back to your school life. You don't need to hide anymore. Of course, you need to change your weapon first. Otherwise, people might connect you to your persona from the mission."

"For that, you can use this."

Then, something appeared in the Dean's hand.

It was a black pedestal, about one meter high.

And on the pedestal…

Was nothing.

Shang furrowed his brows. "There's nothing on it."

"That's it!" Sword said to Shang.
