Silence.
Shang was waiting in silence along with several other warriors.
Some of the hunters knew Shang since he had visited the Hunting Guild several times by now.
After a full year, Shang had grown by quite a bit. By now, he had reached 180cm, the average height of men in the western hemisphere on Earth. Of course, Shang wasn't fully done growing, but he also wouldn't grow by much more anymore.
Shang guessed that he would essentially end up just a bit below 190cm in a year or two.
Sword had also grown. Since Shang had grown by a bit, Sword had decided to elongate as well so that Shang wouldn't need to change his fighting style.
According to what Sword had said, it could change its size by a little bit, but it needed new ore every time. On top of that, the ore had to be higher ranked than what it was currently made out of.
