Sword God in a World of Magic

Everyone followed after Sarah with different expressions.

Shang was annoyed.

Astor was laughing.

Elver only helplessly smiled from the side.

The three of them caught up with Sarah while they were still climbing the wall.

"You seem rather annoyed at meeting me again," Shang commented from behind Sarah.

"Yes," Sarah answered directly, "but I'm not annoyed at you but at myself. Seeing your current power shows me that I have been slacking off for the last year. I thought that I had already put my everything into becoming more powerful, but apparently, I was mistaken."

'She doesn't sound like she's lying,' Shang thought.

"Why aren't you in the General Stage grade in the academy?" Shang asked. "With your hardworking personality, you should have easily been accepted."

"I declined," Sarah answered.

This surprised Shang.

"Why?"

"Because joining the General Stage grade means focusing completely on becoming a Commander Stage warrior, and that is not what I want," Sarah said.

"Then, what do you want?" Shang asked.

"I want to become a powerful blacksmith."

Shang raised an eyebrow. "Is there a specific reason behind that decision?"
