Sword God in a World of Magic

The Dean was immediately interested, but he told Shang that they should talk about it when they arrived in his office.

The two of them currently walked towards the gate of the academy, and Shang saw another familiar face.

Teacher Loran was still guarding the gate at night.

When Teacher Loran heard them approach, he stood up from his chair and bowed politely to the Dean.

Then, he looked at Shang.

"You've returned," he said with eyes that spoke of shock and nostalgia.

The weird boy he had met that day had grown up.

Sadly, the changes were not to Teacher Loran's liking.

Shang felt too much like the Dean.

When Shang saw Teacher Loran, he also had a look of nostalgia in his eye.

Back then, Teacher Loran had been an impossibly powerful monster to Shang.

And now?

Teacher Loran was at the Late Commander Stage, and his Battle-Strength was on the weaker side. He wouldn't be categorized as a weak Late Commander Stage warrior in the trial, but he would also not be categorized as an average one.

As soon as Shang felt his power, he realized that Teacher Loran had long since given up on becoming more powerful.

He probably only wanted to teach students and live the rest of his life in peace.

"I'm back," Shang said as he looked at Teacher Loran with a complicated gaze.

"Are you disappointed?" Teacher Loran asked.

Shang slowly shook his head. "No. You've helped me and many others become stronger. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Teacher Loran looked at Shang with a strange gaze. "Is that a good or a bad thing?" he asked.

By the tone of his voice, Shang could tell that the question was more directed at himself.
