2025-12-08 20:56:31 +0000 UTCApplications of Water Magic - Adept: Stays. I figure this is another course he can ace and test out of quickly. If not, it means it is useful for one of his three main affinities. Applications of Nature Magic - Adept: same as above. Applications of Earth Magic - Adept: Earth magic is in a strange limbo; it's high, but Kai barely uses it for anything. This course can reveal aspects Kai hasn't thought of yet, or maybe he shifts to a metal affinity. It staying really depends on how much he wants to keep other courses. Applications of Shadow Magic - Adept: Probably stays. Herbal Alchemy - Novice: Stays: With how much it has stagnated, if Kai drops this course, he might as well drop Alchemy and Herbalism. That is an obvious no-go with the powerful synergies with his nature magic and boon. All of which have, again, been stagnating. Words of Power - Introductory: Drops. It might be useful for an extra jolt for his magic in a pinch, but without a dedicated skill slot, I am not seeing this skill going far. Beast Bonds & Familiar: Drops. Considering how disappointing the introductory course was, and guessing the same lecturer will teach it, I don't see how Kai has any hope of significant gains here. Arcane Physiology & Phenomena: Drops. Mixed Sparring and Battle Strategy - Novice: Stays. Great opportunity for Kai to flex on everyone else. Good way to stay sharp. I'm guessing he'll be bumped up to adept or higher after the first sparring session. Fundamentals of Scrying and Fate Reading: Probably drops. It will be hard to excuse keeping it with his favor halved. In general, as a storytelling tool, fate really isn't something you want to lean into more than this story already does.

2025-12-06 21:17:46 +0000 UTCI would have at least expected some interference between hallowed intuition and the contract's wording, clauses etcetera. This can't be all good.

2025-12-06 00:42:04 +0000 UTCSure, but blessed by one god is uncommon but not surprising for an academy student. Blessed by 3 gods is almost unheard of.

2025-12-05 17:03:06 +0000 UTCTo be honest, a skill called "Blessed swimmer" is an even bigger indicator he was blessed than his profession name

2025-12-05 12:59:13 +0000 UTCGuys you are being really dense. Obviously he didnt reveal the favor so that when she inquiers about it and Kai finally relents and says it, she can be even more impressed
Gorane
2025-12-05 12:56:44 +0000 UTCKai's Profession is not just rare, it's unique. The 'Favored' part certainly does not help since he is still trying to hide that. Granted his Profession skills and Hallowed Intuition (highest General skill) will give those away as bullshit.

2025-12-05 11:52:51 +0000 UTCI also do not like him hiding his favor. His danger skills relies on it, without the favor people assume its garbage and will tell him to remove it. The favor seems less secret than his profession skills.

2025-12-05 11:52:12 +0000 UTCI'm not a fan of not showing his favor in the page, his favor is a very important aspect of his build so not telling his advisor is pointless with all the soul secrecy clauses

2025-12-05 09:43:25 +0000 UTCI'm curious.... why edit the name of his profession? His fake persona is still from the Islands... so that shouldn't set off any red flags? Or is he trying to hide how favoured he is by the gods? I guess the halving of Favour would also be done to hide that too... not sure why though?

2025-12-05 08:47:29 +0000 UTCThe amount of sarcasm packed into that 'of course' should be illegal

2025-12-05 06:25:59 +0000 UTCHe can learn how the normals do it. He knows basically nothing so there should be a lot of low hanging fruit. Like, maybe familiars can learn to speak with a few simple tricks or it's important to spend at least an hour today together so the magic in the bond can grow etc
wanderer117
2025-12-05 05:13:14 +0000 UTCIt depends on how much he edited it. If he's only losing the handful of points he earned from starting at Red 1 rather then his cover identity of orange 1 then his favor is lower but still relatively accurate. If he cut in in half to make himself seem 'more normal' than I agree with you 100% lol just reread it. He did halve his favore. Come on Kia, be better than that.
wanderer117
2025-12-05 05:09:07 +0000 UTCI'm hoping sufficient Mnemonic Mastery will let him learn social etiquette by rote. Kia's hidden charisma stat has always been lacking and he really doesn't have the space in his build to grab the multiple skill's he'd need to handle noble society as anything but an outsider.

2025-12-05 04:35:35 +0000 UTCI think he should drop beast bonds and & familiars, he knows what Hobbes is and he’s not willing to give the teachers that knowledge, what can he really learn that he isn’t going to pick up on his own especially with enhanced fate sharing with Hobbes…
Brett
2025-12-05 04:33:15 +0000 UTCIt will probably be Matt doing everything his way and not how a normal mage does things.. because - super maneuverable spellsword… I think he’ll get auto passed out of this class or if the prof is a restrictive mentality it’ll be a conflictive course - not sure which way this’ll go.

2025-12-05 04:31:17 +0000 UTCI like her. Two thumbs up!
C
2025-12-05 04:22:13 +0000 UTCI wish he would’ve left his favor 1) as a troll and 2) it’s actually important to his highest leveled skill she needs to know. I hope we get a status reaction from her next chapter

2025-12-05 03:55:59 +0000 UTCI'm seeing a pattern of Kai being clueless about how people will act under certain conditions. Maybe a social skill would be advisable? They've worked wonders for Valela, Rain, and Flynn.

2025-12-05 03:54:44 +0000 UTCFinally getting the mentorship he was offered was a treat. However, I admittedly was looking forward to some wholesome family conversations that were teased last chapter. Oh well. Quick question, do you know what the in-universe calendar year is? We got some official dates last chapter so I was hoping to contextualise everything.

2025-12-05 03:48:29 +0000 UTCLess scrutiny on his backstory can only be a good thing

2025-12-05 03:02:40 +0000 UTCWhy would he edit the name of his profession?
