Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang only snorted.

"That doesn't make a lot of sense," Shang said.

"Oh? How come it doesn't make a lot of sense?" Fleros asked with an interested smile.

"I am not repressing anything deep inside myself," Shang said calmly. "I have my goal, and I am striving to achieve my goal with my entire being. If I suppressed something, I wouldn't be able to follow through with my plans and training."

Fleros raised an eyebrow. "So, you're saying that you're not repressing anything and that we don't know how our own training methods work?"

"That seems to be the only explanation," Shang answered evenly.

This took Fleros by surprise.

"I know myself, and I know that my entire being is united in achieving one single goal. I know that I am not suppressing anything. Therefore, something else must be the reason why the Inner Heart Melody sounds so aggravating in my ears."

"Maybe it only works on Mages? Have you tested it on warriors?"

"What if the special circumstance of my body interferes with the Inner Heart Melody? My body is constantly at 70% life energy, and I feel anxiety, danger, and nervousness all the time. It wouldn't surprise me if this Inner Heart Melody didn't work on me due to that."

"Don't immediately assume that there is something wrong with me as soon as we meet," Shang explained coldly.

Fleros' smile vanished, and it was replaced by a bit of confused concern. "Do you honestly not realize it yourself?"

"There's no point in talking about this," Shang answered. "I know myself."

"Do you?" Fleros asked with concern.

"Yes, I do," Shang answered with a slightly more aggressive voice.
