2026-01-22 21:20:25 +0000 UTCElemental Attunement and Bloodrush both seem amazing! Elemental Attunement seems like it could fuse with his Swordsman skill at green as well so it could be good for future prospects as well!

Daniel C Williams
2026-01-05 23:40:04 +0000 UTCThe demerits seem excessive. Especially if it only takes 200 to get expelled. I remember them being cumulative even if they can be equalled out with merits.

2025-12-22 06:45:36 +0000 UTCwhat do you mean 'choose'? The way it reads, it will be a dynamic increase that changes based on how you invest your mana, not a set in stone thing. That's how the swordsmanship works too. Kai could theoretically invest Fire mana into it at any time and the skill wouldn't give a shit.
Daniel C Williams
2025-12-21 13:46:36 +0000 UTCWhich element will he choose for Body Augmentation? Earth for strength and defence or Water for dexterity? I'm guessing water. What element is his Swordsmanship?

2025-12-20 19:05:28 +0000 UTCBloodrush - Let your mana flare brightly. Ignore pain, injuries and fatigue; force your body beyond its natural limits to keep fighting. Be warned: prolonged use may increase physical strain and cause lasting damage. Most of this he can already do and other half of it can be achieved with potions or practice

2025-12-19 13:08:06 +0000 UTCI have a general question about this school. When does education end here? What is the end criterium for someones studies at this school? Right now this is something in between a bachelors and high school. Does that mean there are other schools / more advanced programs? Or are they also in this same school and Kai just hasnt interacted w them? Is there a this worlds equivalent of masters degree for green 1 individuals and PhD for green2 and 3 individuals? Or does most education end with reaching green
Gorane
2025-12-19 13:06:54 +0000 UTCIt is starting to give the sense that elemental affinities have conceptual facets alongside the more obvious physical ones. We saw it first in the more subtle shadow applications, and now in Ambrose's essence holding dominion in the terrein through, supposedly, some application of earth and or nature. What extra dimensions do the other affinities hide?
Karako
2025-12-19 10:01:01 +0000 UTCHe thought he had a strategy to beat Kai. He miscalculated badly. Chances are he'd have put up a much better fight if he just fought normally.

2025-12-19 05:37:52 +0000 UTCWhat was the decay aspect cuz I forgot.
LOOKOUT
2025-12-19 04:48:44 +0000 UTCAlso mana weaving at 47, split mind at 45 and water magic at 46 ( last we heard about them) should be ready for the big 50 relatively soon as well.
Gorane
2025-12-19 03:33:03 +0000 UTCAlso the realistic thing here would be for Kai to consult his mentor about such a choice. He has one for a reason
Gorane
2025-12-19 03:31:45 +0000 UTCGuaranteed he picks the Elemental variant
Malcolm Haynes
2025-12-19 03:30:46 +0000 UTCA very nice chapter, how did the last guy come third though
Gorane
2025-12-19 03:29:43 +0000 UTCGuy thought Kai was a small squirrelly dodger and he could rush him. He severely miscalculated
BaguaBrady
2025-12-19 02:56:46 +0000 UTCAnd elemental attunement to space just sounds like something that could scary.
SΓ©bastien Kingsbury
2025-12-19 02:34:50 +0000 UTCThink Val has some competition.....Isadora seems like the type of girl that will ask Kai out and not wait for him to make the first move
Balerion1891
2025-12-19 01:50:00 +0000 UTCA few points. 1). This is school. With nobles. I would think he would want to keep as much secret as possible. 2) go back and read Elijah duel chapter. Without lethal intent the skill doesnβt pick up as much. 3) I would assume the girl, especially if she is as friendly as she appeared wasnβt trying to hurt him. 4). She was a noble. I would guess she had as much dueling experience as Kai. You can disagree. Wont hurt my feelings! Just my 2cents

2025-12-19 01:26:44 +0000 UTCIts so stupid this whole thing about not relying to much on a skill and being a one trick pony or whatever with hallowed intuition why does he even have the damn skill if he wont use it to its utmost limit and level it upp like all his other skills? why would you ever have to worry about overelying on a skill when it literally changes to suit you perfectly with the milestones. Also he has had to be stupid and nearly died dozens of times to just barely get it to the levels it is at now and it cant even detect some random 15 girl who has never been in a fight her entire life attack and someone who is not even an assassin how is it so useless that it cant detect her attack? While at other times its godlike ability that basically lets kai see into the future its very annoying when characters are nerfed like this just for plot reasons
John
2025-12-19 01:08:01 +0000 UTCI agree, but doesn't one of his Profession skills already allow him to ignore pain/injuries? I think Elemental Attunement is the best option with how well it would mesh with Elemental Swordsman.

Immutably Empty
2025-12-19 00:31:30 +0000 UTCGood thing he has a tutor to ask specialization questions about.

2025-12-19 00:12:04 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter.
Trevayne
2025-12-18 23:46:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! If that Sebastian guy really had him figured out, he would've realized that Kai had tried to get closer to his opponents lollll. I hope we get to see some more of the less common elements like dream and gravity in battle. I also hope we'll see more of the "decay" aspect of his nature magic, cause I don't think we've seen much of it since he took the specialization back in book 3. Well now that's Kai's taking a nature magic class, he'll probably learn more about it and ways to implement it into his fighting. Anyways, overall great chapter!

Kaze
2025-12-18 23:36:12 +0000 UTCHe never accepted the milestone from 50 because he was waiting for a different option to show up, and it finally did.

2025-12-18 23:26:03 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter
Some Guy
2025-12-18 23:22:41 +0000 UTCThought the second milestone was 75?
Just_a_Bored_Fox
2025-12-18 23:14:35 +0000 UTCI want to see more of her. She seems like she could be a good frenemy.
Justin
2025-12-18 23:10:00 +0000 UTCOoooh tricky, Elemental attunement is more what his build is oriented to and would work well with Elemental swordsman, but Bloodrush is generally how he actually uses it.
Gromaul
2025-12-18 23:08:51 +0000 UTCNoted and hopefully fixed!) Thanks to you and others who noticed! Sorry about that, remnant of editing.
Doug Wills
2025-12-18 23:07:40 +0000 UTCDid Kai just outskill the last guy in melee combat? A bit boring if so, but not out of the question. The way it's written feels like something was up though.

2025-12-18 22:40:42 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! Glad you're feeling better:-)
Stephen Pearson
2025-12-18 22:38:09 +0000 UTCThese fights have just made it even more obvious how Kai is underutilizing his affinities. Hopefully we will see him playing around with them more. I was really impressed by Ambrose
Mina She
2025-12-18 22:30:49 +0000 UTCI missed this stuff, he'll get the respect he deserves now
Kris Piskorski
2025-12-18 22:29:41 +0000 UTCObviously he is going for Elemental Attunement.
Brandon Steele
2025-12-18 22:20:09 +0000 UTCThis might open for a Green mix of Body augmentation and Elemental swordsman in the future. I keep thinking that some of his skills needs to be merged when he upgrade them to green.
Andreas Kristensen
2025-12-18 22:18:37 +0000 UTCOh, so that was why he never chose a specialization. He was waiting for this one. Great duels, and it was interesting to see someone capable of hiding Fire with Shadow. No idea what happened with the last one though. Maybe something was supposed to be triggered that ended up not happening?
Mohit
2025-12-18 22:13:43 +0000 UTCIβm assuming that and the (of mana) are all tbd
Polaris
2025-12-18 22:11:31 +0000 UTCHe has to chose Elemental Attunement, it not only takes advantage of his high affinities it also gives him something he can fuse with Elemental Swordsman at green
Thomas Todd
2025-12-18 22:08:46 +0000 UTCHe has elemental swordman, so I assume the attunement is the best choice, I but I could see him deciding to stay the course so as not to hyperspecialize

2025-12-18 22:07:21 +0000 UTCIs this intentional or just a remnant of the editing process? "sent/cast" and "proper/skilled"
