Is Alden going to find the… true book?

2026-02-24 00:40:56 +0000 UTCGreat chapter. Loved the minor skip, smoothing things over with Isadora, and that Kai finally seems to be getting adjusted to academy life and not overwhelmed all the time. Also, “peerless skill and genius” was hilarious to me

2026-02-23 04:05:04 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter. Kai should have gotten some merit from the professor for these wins. Seems like a done deal. Does he advance from these fights?

2026-02-22 23:05:44 +0000 UTCI'm disappointed he is rejecting the romance route.

2026-02-22 23:01:12 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! I wonder if Alden will recognize Dora’s name…she’s probably well known enough that he might know her. Actually, why hasn’t Kai tried to find out more about her? I remember her full name was in that book that she wrote and gave to him about the potions in the archipelago

2026-02-22 22:31:46 +0000 UTC"Bougie aristocrats" is such a delightfully absurd phrase. Otherwise, I am really glad we got a bit of a time skip. The minutiae of classes was getting rather overhwelming.

2026-02-22 22:18:17 +0000 UTCI don't think he told her the name of his profession but he did tell her the skills.

2026-02-22 21:05:07 +0000 UTCCan you say what? Sorry, it was like 5AM and I might have missed some things Drew usually asks me to check through before publishing.

2026-02-22 19:27:24 +0000 UTC"Finding information about Hallowed Intuition had proven harder than even she expected—not to mention his profession skills...to earn Favored Mystic of the Isles" So has Kai told Jolene about the rest of his profession skills then? She only knew about hallowed intuition and the space step skill not the others. Also he lied about his class name. Has he told her what its really called now?

2026-02-22 15:38:46 +0000 UTCOr Alden calling Matt Kai and getting a slight delay perceptible because he’s yellow 3 vs Kai’s yellow 2…

2026-02-22 15:34:07 +0000 UTCI would like Kai to have a conversation with valdibal about strategy set up. Valdibal could also be trying to teach all the other students the importance of picking their battlefield.

2026-02-22 15:23:43 +0000 UTClol, so looking forward to Alden recognizing Dora’s recipes then wondering about the Kai thing. I think he will eventually have to be brought into the fold because he’ll figure it out eventually especially based on the age of the ink/book, Dora maybe being well enough known and a check in with back home regarding alchemy…

2026-02-22 15:17:06 +0000 UTCSo two fun possible political and secrets effects by kai's two notable actions this chapter. First is his apology to Isadora which she likely deduced as being genuine. Leading her to know kai wasn't trying to turn that dinner into a shitshow. Her blush could be between embarrassment from the social ramifications and from the guy she might have thought to be messing with her to then prove he simple didnt know the situation and felt bad about it. Good potential layered interaction. Those are always fun. Second Dora could be a hell of a lot more famous or skilled than Kai realize. This might lead Alden to tell his family ( unlikely ) or to dig deeper into kai's background ( possible ) or to potentially recognize that skill in the recipes and be able to narrow down Dora's other potential aliases. This is a fun one. Valela noticing the actual effort in his clothing and giving him shit is great and lots of fun.

2026-02-22 15:08:10 +0000 UTCCan't wait for Alden to see the names of those recipes. Kai's Unlimited Stamina! Kai's Heroic Strength! Heh.
