Sword God in a World of Magic

The three of them looked with shock at Shang for quite some time.

Earlier, Shang had seemed a bit uncertain. He had acted like a new member of the Hibye that wasn't sure what he should do.

The other two looked at her with a bit of confusion.

Shang didn't react.

"You're a funny guy, Shang," Cindy said. She had heard of Shang's name when the Communication Crystal had told her that her duel had been accepted. "You acted all nervous in order to bait us into fighting you."

Cindy snorted. "But that doesn't change anything. Power is power, and we are Mages while you are a warrior."

"What's the point of accepting all our duels when you are going to die to Erel anyway?"

The two others calmed down as well and looked at Shang with a mix of pity and disdain.

"Where do we fight?" Shang asked again.

"We have to wait for Lucin," Rowan said with a calm tone. "He has to officiate everything."

Shang only nodded.
