Sword God in a World of Magic

Not much of note happened for the next several months, and the mortal district was growing at rapid rates.

There were many more people that focused on increasing their power, and even the children started to focus on becoming more powerful.

Almost all of them tried to become Mages, but not everyone had the talent to be accepted into the new Mage Academy in the mortal district.

The people that didn't manage to join the Mage Academy joined the Warrior Academy instead.

Or at least, they wanted to.

Sadly, there were no fitting teachers available for the Warrior Academy since the strongest people in the mortal district were busy hunting and defending everyone.

After watching the mortal district for a couple of months, Shang decided that it was time to officially open the Warrior Academy. The thirst for power had already been deeply implanted in the people.

Shang contacted his general. "I need some people recruited."

"Yes, sir?" the general asked respectfully.

"The mortal district has taken form, and the people want to become warriors. However, they do not have strong warriors."

"I need some Commander Stage warriors from other towns. I am willing to pay for their trip here and pay them handsomely."

The general hesitated for a couple of seconds. "Warriors? Commander Stage?"

Obviously, the general wasn't really familiar with these terms.

Shang did his best not to sigh.

Then, he explained what a warrior was.

The general listened, but he was still confused and concerned. "Sir, don't take my words as disrespect, but I don't understand why you would want to create warriors. Aren't Mages just strictly better?"

"As of now, yes," Shang said. "However, we need to look into the future. You know that I am not a Mage but a warrior, and I am probably the first and only warrior of the Fifth Realm."

"Of course, Mages can travel far further on the path to power, but how many can actually pull that off? How many people would be happy with reaching the Fifth Realm?"

"Even if the warriors never reached the Sixth Realm, we would still gain several more warriors of the Fifth Realm."

"Tell me, if we could double the number of Archmages, how great would that be?"
