Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang stepped through the open doors of the main building and entered the courtyard of the academy.

Some of the lessons had already started, but not all of them. Some students were training, but most of them were walking around from one place to another.

No one paid Shang any attention.

He was just one student amongst many.

For a while, Shang only looked at the students as old memories resurfaced.

He still remembered the first day he had been here.

He had been one of the weakest students, and he had no idea what he was supposed to do.

At that moment, Shang felt someone walk into his shoulder.

Shang looked down and noticed that a 14-year-old boy had tried to get past him and into the main building.

"How dare you block my path?!" the young boy shouted angrily. "Do you know who I am?! I'm the heir to the Sandamer household! You better apologize!"

Shang only looked at the young boy with a bit of amusement. "You're new here, right?" he asked.

"That is none of your business!" the young boy shouted. "You better apologize for stepping into my path, Nicholas Sandamer!"

A couple of students looked over as they heard the young boy shout and smirked.

The younger students could see that Shang was already an adult based on his appearance, which meant that he was probably very powerful, and the older students could feel Shang's power.

The older students snickered.

A freshman was trying to pick a fight with a General Stage student.

Right now, Shang didn't feel angry or something similar.

Instead, he was nostalgic.

The same thing had happened to Shang when he had entered the courtyard for the first time back then. An older student had barged into him at the same place.

Back then, Shang had let the student pass.

But now, Shang decided to act differently.

If he let the young boy pass, his attitude would only bring him into more trouble in the future since Shang's compliance would validate it.

That was not good for the student.

"In this academy, status is irrelevant," Shang said. "We even have Duke Whirlwind's heir in this academy, and he also had to follow the rules."

The young boy only snorted. Obviously, he didn't believe Shang.

"Let me show you."

Shang put his right hand on the boy's chest and pushed.
