Enjoy 😁😁😁

*********

NEW REMINDER: BOOK 3 CONTENT/SPOILERS ARE NOT TO BE MENTIONED OUTSIDE OF CHAPTER LEAK ANNOUNCEMENT POSTS. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

*********A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:

Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.

Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.

On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

Sharinel

Thankee! I stayed up :P

Warlord

OH MY GOD BRYCE THATS AWESOME. WHY WOULD YOU TEASE US WITH THAT GODDAMN CLIFFHANGER

Sharinel

It will be....if we can get the next chapter tomorrow. I can't bear that cliffhanger :)

Warlord

Unironically I cannot wait for the next chapter holy shit this has me hyped

Charles

You are a merchant of cliffhangers. did you watch between the Lions as a child?

Polaris

New cad type baby

William Anderson

Ok, I was definitely expecting Mauler as the next type…what in the WORLD is a breaker type 😵‍💫

Mike Frenkel

I second Rei’s question. What the hell is a breaker type?!?

Kemlion

Ooooooo very excited for next chapter

Voror

I figured it would be a cliffhanger but I'm still annoyed we'll have to wait a bit till we find out what this is and what else he might have gotten. I can imagine that one watcher of Rei's is freaking out trying to get to Abel again now lol In terms of evolution I feel like externals is still high on the list of things he can get given we know the advantages they give and how they'd help him even in this current situation. As an offhand guess on Breaker I'm going to go on a limb and say that in the same way his Phalanx retained the sword for his version, Breaker is gonna be a alternative to his brawler mode focused on getting through tough defenses. Perhaps akin to the Gatecrasher.

Si

Excellent chapter… what a cliffhanger!

Nomad

Obviously that cliffhanger is amazing and can’t wait to see more there, but I have to say that I LOVED the conversation between Rei and Jasper. It was great for him to see her as a real person and I think it goes a long way in solidifying the “Kamiya isn’t coming into this with secret intentions” for him.

Nathan

Oh that was a nuts chapter. I liked it all...except the fact it ended in another cliffhanger. Cliffhangers are mean Bryce!

Rick

Definitely WORTH IT!!! Great Segway for Rei to come to grips with his sister’s appearance and knowledge about Grandpa’s conviction. Keep up the great work.

Scott

Yes, what the hell is breaker type? :)

Grakyn

That would be an Archon class type! Gotta be, right?

Garret Bazurto

That was an enjoyable chapter. Now I am dying to see what happens next after that ending. I am not sure how I will contain my anticipation for the next chapter. Gah!

Wilsonkrom .

"it's not about getting somewhere, it's about getting closer to somewhere." That helped me, thank you.

Tim Kilgore

OK, I love that last chapter but what the heck? Lol smiley face new mode? ? Lol. absolutely love it!

Scott B

Fuuuucccckkkkkkk that was tasty. This is going to be a squirrelly couple of weeks waiting for some sweet, sweet exposition to find out the answers….

Tim Kunz

Dude! Bryce, you're a magician, but also a bastard! Lol, you've got me hooked bad! I was thinking just like the others that it was going to be mauler, then you go and just add a new type?!? Man, I can only hope you're gonna post the next chapter next week, not just a revised one of this...

Preston McIntosh

That's not a cliff it is a world spanning chasm.

Nicolaus Fountain

Oh dear lord! Now I am sitting on pins and needles wondering what a Breaker Type is! I am picturing Rei with a big F you maul slung over his shoulder and getting ready to play whack-a-mole!

Don

Phenomenal chapter. Thank you for this. Well worth the wait

Hope

That was a great chapter Bryce, end of chapter wanting to get to the next chapter. You going to make us wait? Spill some more coffee with the nice miss Ocasey? Maybe have the general show up for testing, If I had to guess breaker mode is some mode to allow him to get through S ranked shields, this whole book he's been trying for that HIT on the S ranked instructor. Broken shoulder. Now he's has a mode to do it, but that's just my guess

Nomad

It’s entirely possible that Bryce doesn’t even know at this point 🤣

PNB

Argh! That's the kind of chapter ending that authors like to throw out there right before they switch tracks and write a chapter from another POV! As much as I would love to catch up on how Sarah is doing in class with Siderov, or what everyone else is thinking about what just happened (because we know they are all worried about Rei facing off against the S0s), I really, really, really HOPE that Bryce keeps going on this track and tells us what the hell is Breaker type in the next chapter!!!

Jared Plunkett

Okay I didn't see that coming at all! Well done sir. I'm looking forward to the what is coming.

Nathan

... If we have a Cassidy Maran chapter next, I'm blaming you. :)

Arjun Gopal

that was AWESOME - can't wait to find out what Breaker mode is! maybe its like a hybrid of duelist's speed and mauler's power but at the cost of greatly reduced endurance, so it functions as a "go all out" type of mode?

PNB

I'm picturing some sort of massively heavy brawler with a ton of strength and speed that he can use to actually make S-types move when he hits them. I mean Shido tends to evolve to meet his needs, and he's indicated twice now that he needs to be able to run shoulder-first through more powerful opponents.

Voror

My immediate thought was that next chapter will be a little interlude with her lol Though it could always be that and we shift back to Rei and them!

Todd Smith

I walked around the house shouting BREAKER-TYPE for about ten minutes. Later, while making a bed, it occurred to me that if Hiroto is visiting the system regularly then, perhaps, he might attend a parent's weekend at the end of the term? I *cannot wait* for Viv & Aria's mothers to meet Ward's family. 😄

John Bianco

Plot twist: Based on Rei's actions, Breaker- type is where he breaks himself to damage his enemies.

Arjun Gopal

oh MAN especially Viv's parents lol cause at Aria's dad was chill, thats gonna be something great to look forward to

Karl Shlagel

Bryce: there are 6 types. Also Bryce: nahhhhhhh

Patchumz

That's an extremely cruel cliff. I'm going to guess that Breaker involves some kind of high strength juggernaut setup, kinda like a mauler meets a brawler but with heavy armor instead of a heavy weapon. Maybe he gets some proper blunt fist weapons. Or some atypical weapon that wouldn't make sense irl but fits well here.

Christian Kalemkiewicz

Plot Twist: We find out that Dalek O’Rourke was actually a Breaker Type, given his arena name. It’s a super rare type with sky high speed and power, but low endurance, used for busting high defense, or higher ranked, opponents.

Matthew Ferguson

I thought it'd be Lancer next for range and offense....

Maria Klein

Leave it to Shido to make a new type. If Rei can’t break through the defense Shido will make a way for Rei to break through the defense. Welcome to Mauler on steroids

Tawanda Finley

Epic!!! We all thought Mauler but noo...we get a twist!!! I cant wait for the next chapter!!!

Xien

lol General Abel has a team of scientists hovering in orbit just waiting to beam Rei up…. I can see them swooping in now … #sigh

J D

Fuckin' A Bryce... Really??! lol

Nomad

Now they’ll need to change the CAD assignment exams.

Jessica

So good!!!

Jessica

Oh please, please make this happen!!

Kirivina

🤣 Right! We are Cliff Hanger and Bryce has us all hanging from the cliff. 🤣

Nathan

I just thought of the coolest class for breaker. Dual wielding axes. Pure offense and strength.

Zachary Hoda

In your own words, cliff hangers are mean

Connor

why have you done this to us, do you not have a heart

Connor

i am super interested in what bryce will do with this and it will for sure be eating at me all week

Scott

Just remember that at one point when Rei/shido evolved it took like 3 or 4 chapters to actually get to what the evolution was. Just sayin’

Executive313

Thanks for not making Rei go the Asano route and become a whiny therapy addict! Loved this chapter but I swear to the Lord God as my savior chapter 44 cannot take as long or it will kill me!

Morris Crawford

dammit bryce... great work as always but still dammit for the cliffhanger

JustOneEmperor

Since we didn't really hear anything about what they do or what their social and monetary status is apart from higher than Rei, I'm kinda curious where all the parents and grandparents stand in relation to each other

JustOneEmperor

I think it would have been cool to read the full update notification so we have the same wtf moment Rei just had haha. Also yet another reason for Rei to learn voiceless commands. Just so he doesn't shout "I have a mode that doesn't exist anywhere else within our society." Each time he calls

gratch42

We haven't checked in on Hiroto, Lenon, Abel, Aria's parents, the archon front, the archons, earth academy students who were just told their would be a first year summer pair of tournaments and are checking in on the competition... we could bounce like 5 chapters through those institutions before we come back to Rei as well. What about Reese... he's probably formed some paramilitary group off the books with a goal to take out Rei. So a good ten plus other POV's first!

Big Jin

This genuinely made me LOL in the doctor's waiting room. 😂😂

CipherFTW

What a fuckin cliff.

Iron Akela

Damn!!! That’s perhaps the biggest cliffhanger I’ve ever encountered in my life!?! I hope we find out in chapter 44, and I REALLY hope all of the S rank instructors are properly floored! Wonder if Dent will call for the sub instructors so they aren’t surprised by Breaker. Probably not, which means another surprise. Oh and the Colonel too! I must say, I’m happy to see Temporal Step’s charge didn’t dissipate when Rei recalled and called. That in itself feels like a MAJOR big development as well. Testing how long that lasts will be insane! Also super keen to see the physical changes to Shido. I’m hoping for externals, but I could see that top of his head covering up too. Maybe optionally for deep space stuff? And did Rei get another ability beyond Type Shift upgrading? So many questions, and so long to wait for answers!!! :oD

Iron Akela

For sure!!! Rei: “need to break through need to break through need to break through!” Shido: “then I’ll do the impossible”

Iron Akela

Yeah I was thinking Lancer next, but Maulers have good range too with their huge weapons so either would work :o)

Iron Akela

Rei’s always been high speed in all his shifted modes, so I’m wondering if Breaker is a combination of Mauler and Duelist - mega high Offence with paired hammers or axes but bugger all Defence? Though I could see the hammer fists too

Iron Akela

Oh damn, yeah Viv’s parents and Aria’s mother meeting Hiroto would be EPIC!!!! Wonder if Hiroto will pop in to see Rei at some point. I get the feeling Hiroto would also like to meet the rest of Firesong (and a few choice others). Given his pain at Rei’s life, Viv especially would likely be seen by Hiroto as being owed a debt of honour, and I think him meeting Rei’s team and closest friends would be high on his list

Iron Akela

That’s my thoughts too. Crap Endurance and Defence but next level Offence and Strength. I’m also hoping this will be a way for Sarah and Rei to get to know each other. A fast Mauler feels like the right person to help him adjust

Iron Akela

While it’s twice he’s tried the shoulder charge, he’s been fighting A and S rank opponents predominantly for several weeks at this point. I figure Shido is tired of not being able to make a dent in their Defences :o)

Russell Stephenson

No disappointment here. I new it would be filled with angsty action and a surprise 😮.

Dungeonborn

So a big big BIG f-off sword?

Dungeonborn

LOL I just thought that everyone on the written exam needs to lose points because they are now all wrong 😂

Dungeonborn

LOL I just thought that everyone on the written exam needs to lose points because they are now all wrong 😂

Dungeonborn

Or something completely new akin to a mage/ ranged specialist

Dungeonborn

Rage barbarian with two warhammers or axes? Yes please 😂 Would be fun if the rage is a progressive shifting of cognition to offense and speed. Throw in an Overclock and Ruin and you got a BREAKER

Dungeonborn

That’s actually a pretty good idea. O‘Rourke was mentioned pretty often in book one. Maybe he’s the next trainer?

Reaperess

And with that last line the rules have shifted ever so slightly.

Reaperess

Ooooo I like that idea. Or a Maulers Hammer with a jet engine on the back 😂😂😂 (I dont actually expect that but it'd be cool)

Hope

At sectionals, yes, and I would expect something like that (her poor uniform) , but since he did ask the captain, shes going to be working to figure it out as well. I would think that the next chapter will be the coffee and general Able. Then probably all day testing with him and the team missing classes for testing, maybe a flashback chapter.

Mohamed Yousif

He could develop external around the shoulder to help with the defense breaking

Mohamed Yousif

Imagine next chapter is a filler chapter about something else, we will riot

Mohamed Yousif

This Breaker type could be the best segue for Rei to connect with his sister, I can't think for a better sparing partner to test this ability than her considering her strength stats. Not as impossibly strong as S rank but strong enough for a good challenge. Just like Candice with Viv

Brandon King

Bryce...wow. Dude. Can you at least give us the notification script to tide us over??!! C'mon, give your dogs a bone!

Mohamed Yousif

A combination make sense now you pointed it out, instead of bring regular type we get a new one combine the best in both types.

Mohamed Yousif

I wonder if Breaker type will be a user unique or a start of new general type. I think it would be more useful for the war effort if it was the start of a new type, they clearly need more offensive power to combat the Archons

Mohamed Yousif

Come on, Bryce couldn't be that cruel, could he?

Connor

I have been praying for externals ever since he got his full body cad. If dent had them before rei ever did then Rei’s should be insane when he finally gets them

Victor Summerhill

I’m glad and pissed that I had to wait to read this chapter. But my goodness did you have to end it like that? I mean really SIR!! Come on man.

NotSteve

really going to leave us on a cliff hanger like that

maxwolf

Hmm, Breaker type sounds really cool. Given the other types I have no idea what the weapons are going to be like but, I think the stats are going to lean heavily towards strength, offense, and endurance. Aside from that though, I have an idea about a new user unique ability for Rei: a suped up version of Echo called Sketch. It lets him replicate user unique abilities as well and keep them permanently. At the beginning it could be limited to only remembering one or two but, gain more slots as he grows in power.

akalasedge

100% chance he has now unlocked the Breaker Style from Yakuza 0. Rei can now use breakdance moves to rapidly pummel enemies. .....My more reasonable guess is something focused on piercing defenses, probably high-Strength. But the question becomes, "does he get the pile bunker"

Mike Gilbert

Enjoyed the chapter, liked how you handled both Rei and Aria getting acclimated to high ranked virtual opponents after their experiences at the tournament. I like how you handled his "failure" to get the S ranked opponent to move and the watchers reaction to that goal, especially Dent's. The idea of Rei getting a unique weapon/type makes some sense as Shido seems to be all about flexibility and overcoming obstacles rather than optimization of a particular build or type as seems the case for all the other CAD users. I have noticed that the other CAD users (outside of Shido's influence) seem to optimize for their type and physical limitations rather than with flexibility which seems the case for all the Shido sphere upgrades

Craig Bentsen

@Nathan -- you brought the Cassidy chapter into being....

Ron

Definitely enjoyed the Chapter though I will be irritable until I get at least get to see the spec sheet on his Breaker Type. Bryce should change his name to "Cliff"...Anticipation is supposed to be enjoyable, until you have to deal with the frustration that goes with it.

Matthew Ferguson

They don't have time. 5-7 years before Armageddon? Even IF they could replicate Shido, which I don't think they can, what good would knowing how do anyone if they don't have time to build said device up?

Arjun Gopal

i was thinking the same about temporal step's charge not dissipating! and the fact that he said it got charged halfway during round 1....which would mean it only took 15 SECONDS of intense combat to fully charge?!

Arjun Gopal

im wondering if its gonna be hard to learn voiceless command for temporal step, given no one really knows HOW it works

Daniel Bellick

I’ve been wondering at if Rei will ever be able to mix and match his types. Brawler + saber = breaker? Idk it’s nice to get something unexpected though

Iron Akela

That’s a good point, I missed that detail. But that’s definitely a massive improvement as well

Aaron Harchak

So my twist on this is that, aside from Brawler, typeshift has all incorporated a single sword, somewhat reducing the difficulty of crosstraining between types. If this trend holds, the Breaker type could be an attack-focused class that emphasises strength and weilds a MASSIVE two-handed sword. Projecting the other way, a longer ranged class could be something that, rather than a lance, could use a glave.

Dan

Awesome chapter, but these cliff hangers are playing distressful tunes on my blood pressure! 🤣

Dee

Outstanding chapter as always (thanks)...Cliffhanger bites🙃

Gabe Yohn

Loved it! For some reason every time I read "breaker type" I think of Iron man two and the "Ex Wife". Some tiny little thing that is just stupid overpowered..... but it actually works for Rei!
