Sword God in a World of Magic

Mistra continued summoning one warrior after the other, and eventually, she reached the Mid Impose Stage warriors.

Those were the ones that taught nearly everyone else. In total, there were seven, but only three of them had apparently taken up the mantle of teacher.

When she asked the Mid Impose Stage warriors questions, Mistra became a bit surprised.

Their answers were different.

They were far more detailed.

The other warriors had explained what they were doing and why they were doing it, but they didn't explain why the stuff they were doing actually worked.

Yet, these Mid Impose Stage warriors were also explaining why the things they were doing actually produced results.

This time, Mistra took longer to ask the Impose Stage warriors about their thoughts, and she also started to jot down a lot of new things in her booklet.

"And where did you learn all of these things?" she asked near the end.

"Master taught me," the warrior explained, gesturing to Shang.

"Oh?" Mistra muttered. This had been the first time anyone had directly been in contact with this mysterious white warrior. Everyone else had only talked about him in a very distant way like they had never actually met.

"I've noticed that you and two other warriors were referred to as teacher by many warriors. How come your disciples are calling you teacher, but you call your teacher master?" Mistra asked.

"There are many teachers but only one Master," the warrior said. "We chose not to use the title master out of our respect for our Master."

"We are teachers, not masters," he said.

"Mhm," Mistra uttered. "And your master is not a teacher?"

Surprisingly, the warrior didn't answer for two seconds.

"No," he said.

"What's the difference?" Mistra asked.

The warrior remained silent for a bit.

Then, he looked over at Shang for a while and looked back.

"Because we care about our students," he said.
