Sword God in a World of Magic

A woman with metallic-grey hair floated above Icy Bastion. The pressure she gave off was awe-inspiring, but not in a terrifying way.

Her pressure felt more like a very tight and strong hug.

She looked with a strict expression at the present people, but everyone could also feel some concern coming from her.

In a way, it was like she was a powerful and strict mother, and her eyes were reflecting these thoughts.

These belong to me!

This was what her eyes said.

"Hello, everyone," she said in a polite but commanding voice. "My name is Mistra Flowsteel, and I am a Bolt from the Lightning Manor. That means that I am one of the Lightning Manor's Mage Lords."

The present people looked at each other.

Should they greet her?

Should their leader step forward and greet her?

Some people glanced over at Shang, but Shang hadn't moved at all.

"Warriors at the True Path Stage, please form a line," she commanded. "Family and friends, please step away from the warriors. Impose Stage warriors, please wait near the side."

The people slowly complied, and after a couple of seconds, three groups formed.

The True Path Stage warriors, Impose Stage warriors, and everyone else stood in different locations.

When Mistra saw that, she nodded and landed near the gate of Icy Bastion.

SHING!

A small booklet appeared beside her, hovering in the air.

Surprisingly, she actually put on some glasses, which was very unusual. After all, there probably wasn't even a single Mage that had issues with their eyesight, which meant that the glasses were probably for something else.

"True Path Stage warriors, step forward one at a time," she commanded.

The first person in the line nervously stepped forward. They still weren't entirely sure if everything would work out fine since a lot of the stuff that they had heard just sounded way too good to be true.
