Sword God in a World of Magic

"Your name is Shang, correct?" an older True Mage with grey robes said as he looked at Shang.

Right now, Shang was in a closed-off room with the grey-robed True Mage.

"Correct," Shang said with a wide grin. "It's been so long since I used my true name. It feels weird to hear it from someone else's mouth."

Shockingly enough, Shang's legs were on the table.

Usually, Shang would never act like this.

He was a serious person that wanted to get things over with as quickly as possible.

But this time, Shang was acting differently.

After talking with Duke Whirlwind, they decided that Shang should take on an entirely different personality when he returned.

After all, Shang had one eye, and the warrior that had come from the Spirit Spring Kingdom six months ago also only had one eye.

In order to make the Aura between these two people as different as possible, Duke Whirlwind instructed Shang to act differently.

True Mages couldn't recognize people by their Auras, but they still felt it subconsciously. Instead of knowing what was different, they simply felt that something was different, but they didn't know why.

The grey-robed True Mage only looked at Shang evenly.

He was an Inquisitor, and it was his job to make sure that Shang was not some sort of exotic spy.

"Tell me what happened. How did you leave the Skythunder Kingdom, what happened in the Grandmountain Kingdom, and how did you return?" the Inquisitor asked.

Shang's grin only widened, looking like he was elated at the prospect of telling his grand story.

Of course, Duke Whirlwind and Shang had already gone over the story he should use thoroughly.
