I'll make you a deal. You guys have to suffer a short filler chapter I couldn't not write BUT... you get it the day after Chapter 43.

Deal? Good. Cause here it is hahaha 😁😁😁

*********

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)!

I’ll take what I can get!

Brandon Quill

I almost feel bad for her at this point

Warlord

I feel so bad for her lmao. She needs someone else to help her with this

Wraithmarked Creative

Don't haha. She based off an IRL friend of mine who is blisfully happy with her husband and kiddo and white-pocket-fence job haha

maxwolf

Oooh, a double feature!

kirbydabear

"Couldn't not write" It's a Cassidy Maran spiraling chappy, isn't it? *opens chapter* awww yissssssss

Brandon Quill

So what I'm hearing is this poor character is soaking up any bad luck coming her way. Jealous

Dungeonborn

Love the 2nd chapter but that made the Cliff even worse 😂

Tyler Hiscock

How about another suprise chapter for tomorrow?!

Christopher Generazio

Please read this in the most sarcastic and snarky catcher voice possible. “Oh no. More writing than we expected? How could you? How dare you?!?”

G_AcheTheSnake

Oooh sounds like Shido or the Mind could be blocking the ability to monitor Rei’s development. I wonder if that would mean the ISCM tries to install some kind of handler at Galens.

Kemlion

Poor Cassidy…. But even poorer coffee cup 😞

Voror

I laughed when I saw it because I knew what it had to be and wasn't disappointed. She's got a cushy promotion but also a rather stressful one with how often Rei and the rest of the team are gonna be doing stuff. Thank you!

Grimmace

Lol, imagine having this role to monitor the lead in any of the big progression fantasy series. Monitoring Zorian would be hilarious because to the monitor he jumps from a nobody to an archmage riding a Hydra, Lindon is just the pure speed and quality of his rise and of course his subversion of the normal progression path, Corin is mostly invisible progress but like after the last book I can imagine their response to him leaving the shrine. Lol this is a genuinely cool concept to get to see the person who has full access and a grounded understanding of what it means in the context of the world.

JustOneEmperor

Okay, since the MIND was very transparent to use Rei as variables, im kinda curious if it will start assigning breaker classes to new recruits aswell. As far as I understand it, it is unique so far, but only as long as the mind needs to realize if this is useful for the war effort etc. Right?

Sean

That was a perfect filler chapter! Short and sweet with exactly the message I was hoping for tyftc

Joni

Thats a fair deal Bryce, but pleeease dont let us wait to long for the ability reveal

Voror

Lol she has a travel mug now!

Polaris

I think this is gonna happen and they are going to end up at galens

Devin Jaros

Can we please get artwork of her?!?

Nathan

I knew it was coming as soon as I saw that comment on the last post. lol. Thanks for bringing it a day later.

gratch42

Bryce, where’s the Dorian Gray patreon tier to get a character written to take all the spills?!? 😉

Nomad

Bryce over here preemptively avoiding a riot when this got released next week and we all realize we have to wait longer for the ability reveal!

kirbydabear

only if Bryce personally stains each piece with coffee before shipping

Mohamed Yousif

Maran need to start drinking something else, water perhaps. A carbonated one for a little more buzz. :)

Greg C

lol last night after reading chapter 43 my first thought was about how Cassidy was going to handle this new development. Of course I didn’t remember her actual name, but…

Mike Gilbert

All I can say is NICE . Really enjoy this filler chapter, a really good way to get the view of Rei and team from more of an outside perspective. Thank you for this surprise viewpoint and looking forward to the next you drop on us

Joshua Churchill

I could here the voice perfectly in my head! I'm dying ! 😂

Nomad

The outside perspectives are some of the best parts! I miss a lot of the classroom interactions. We got a little of it with Catcher in CH42v2, which was great. We also got some last chapter with Forester seeing temporal shift for the first time. It’s been a while since we had a good classroom/class training chapter, which is weird since the ‘resident E-ranker’ is now a full tier above nearly all of the class. Like what do they think is happening with firesong? They know that they are getting instructor led private training (I don’t think that is secret anyway) but they don’t know about the sponsorship. What are they thinking about all of firesong being basically untouchable now. Hell, how are they reacting to them doing voiceless calls suddenly out of the blue!

Hope

Thank you for this chapter, especially for dropping it so quickly after the last one. I was expecting to see miss Cassidy with the brand new type 7 drop last night.

Wraithmarked Creative

only problem is NYCC is next week -_- gonna do my best to get it done before then, though

Russell Stephenson

Perfect. I do enjoy the Cassidy sub-arch. I can't wait for the getting to know you chapter for the Breaker type.

Iron Akela

Love this chapter!!! Poor Cassidy :oD

Zane

There! Perfect! “Get it done before then, though” - Bryce O’Conner Thanks mate, will be holding you accountable.

Dell

A very poorly built travel mug unfortunately. Guess she needs to upgrade to something able to withstand damage.

LeaphyMoon

Awh come on. You're such a tease

Voror

She needs one built with CAD tech to adapt and evolve

Christian Kalemkiewicz

“Not getting me again, Ward!” Narrator: “He did, in fact, get her again”

Craig Bentsen

Had, you mean Voror. It's now an ex-travel-mug. Travelled too far, too fast.

Jared Plunkett

OMG, this was everything I didn't know I needed. I love it so much. Perfect comedic interlude.

Nathan

Question Bryce: I just watched Chivalry of the Failed Knight. Have you? I see a lot of parallels with that and Stormweaver.

Sharinel

You know this means war?

Rusty Barnes

Bryce, your CAD should be renamed, from 'Monarch' to 'Cliffhanger'

Rusty Barnes

I mean, at this rate she'll be a lieutenant general by the end of Ward's 1st year at school

J D

I'm pretty sure the private training is still a secret, I don't think most people even ever found out that the instructors were even giving the team private instruction. Everyone else definitely isn't aware of who is training the team now.

Mike Frenkel

The best ship in the franchise: cassidy and her coffee.

Saint

100% agree

Andrew Foster

I knew the next chapter was going to be about Cassidy. It always is when Ward does something.

Christopher A Meeks

Cassidy trying so hard. But also #BrainFuck!! I should've expected an unknown type shift but i was like, nah these types have been the same for like 300 years Bryce wouldn't hit us with a curveball like that.... but nooooo i can't wait to learn about the new type. A+ writing chief.

Brian Cody

Really hope Cassidy gets sent to Galen’s and meets/interacts with Rei and crew. I’d love to see how Cassidy deals with them in person.

Dirty Dibbler

Well I think it goes back to the speculation around the shards. If it’s outside Centrals parameters they don’t get notified. In this instance it’s an expansion of a user unique that does generate a notification, but it’s too far out of parameters to yield an accurate result

CipherFTW

BRO THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE CLIFF NOT MAIE IT WORSE

Arjun Gopal

cool to see that its not even computing for Central LOL

Pyritepillager

Funny enough Cassidy was the first thing I thought about after shaking my fist at the author who lives by cliffhangers.

IronMavrik

Gimme the next chapter book bot

Cim

Actually made me giggle. Great teaser.

Xien

Cassidy is going to rank up her cognitive and speed specs at this rate… #gocassgooooo

Jordan Devol

Fingers crossed that Rei gets a tetsubo with this new Type shift

Liam Zay

Cassidy's hair is going to be fully grey by the time Rei graduates

Robert Gibson

Thanks for the new favorite quote. Previous: “I’ve… I’ve been seeing someone.” Current : “What do you mean, ‘Error’??”

Nathan

I had a dream last night that Bryze hit us with Chapter 45 early.

Sam

I'm actually really surprised that they don't already have Cassidy following Grant and Cashe as well.

chris kizziah

This is like the cabbage seller in the Avatar, the Last Air Bender. I wouldn’t be surprised if central started sending other up and coming recruits to train with Ward once it’s obvious how Shido affects them. I would like to see Lennon and one of the instructors have an unusual evolution.
