Sword God in a World of Magic

"Are you excited about the show?" a young woman with red hair asked a stalwart man walking beside her.

The young woman wore expensive Mage robes, while the tall man wore heavy armor with a huge axe on his back.

Surprisingly, the woman was hugging the man's arm as they were strolling through the city.

"Hell yeah, I'm excited!" the man shouted. "I've been waiting for this tournament for over ten years!"

The woman giggled as she hugged her boyfriend. "I know that you would have won if you had the chance to participate!"

The man only coughed uncomfortably. "You know that I lost during qualifications. These are the finals we are talking about. I don't think I could win even against the weakest competitor."

The girl furrowed her brows and pouted. "You keep saying that, but aren't you in the Mid Diamond Body Stage? I thought there were like only 50 of you in the world."

The man could only sigh. "Yes, but there are only 32 spots open, and I didn't make it."

"Also, there are over ten Late Diamond Body Stage warriors, and there's even a Peak Diamond Body Stage warrior."

Sadly, the woman wasn't completely fine with her boyfriend's explanation. Was he really not even average in his level?

But it wasn't a deal breaker to her. As long as her boyfriend was still stronger than her, she didn't mind. To her, strong men were attractive.

She was an Initial Archmage, and her boyfriend was at the Mid Diamond Body Stage. The two had sparred from time to time, but her boyfriend always won, which was a good thing for her.

Because of that, she still loved him dearly.

However, what she didn't see was that her boyfriend was pushing himself very hard. His girlfriend was only average for an Initial Archmage, but he had nearly lost to her in the sparring match. He had acted like it hadn't been hard for him to win, but it had actually been extremely hard.

Even more, to win her over, he had also advanced to the Mid Diamond Body Stage way too soon.

But that didn't matter.
