Shang didn't seem any different than usual, but deep inside, he felt like he had nearly died, which might actually have been true.
'I did it, somehow,' Shang thought without showing anything on the outside. 'Going on the offense had been the right call.'
Shang wanted to sigh so badly, but he couldn't show any uncertainty on the outside.
"So, what now?" Shang asked. "Do I just get resources now?"
"You're a special case," the Keeper said, still looking away from Shang.
"Usually, we would assign you to a very powerful Ancestral Mage to study under them, but you're not a Mage. Assigning you to any Mage might not only not help you but even restrict your growth."
"You're the highest authority when it comes to training as a warrior in the entire world. No one has the necessary knowledge to contradict what you think is best since your way has been proven to show the greatest results."
