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.

'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.
