With the ball rolling on Shido, I want to get the story back to a lighter place for a while. Hoping 46 is the start of that!

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)!

Thanks for this chapter! Are we staying with Gatebasher then? There must be another variant somewhere we can call him :)

Joni

Lets go

Warlord

I truly do want to see Sarah slowly pry the second years out of Sidorov’s grasp because than Galen’s can actually have three leading cadets that they can be proud of lmao. But also I’m really looking forward to Rei and Sarah actually sitting down and talking to one another and Colonel Guest sitting with Rei. Oh and the inevitable conversation between Dent, Kestral and the MIND

Dungeonborn

Did we already have Gatecracker?

Wraithmarked Creative

I thiiiiink we've had: Gatesmasher Gatebasher Gatecrasher Gatecracker ... Gatebreaker? Maybe?

Nicolaus Fountain

She is as bad as Zorro from One Piece with directions!

G_AcheTheSnake

Crasher, breaker, keeper and now basher are the ones I remember for sure seeing when I did a search for “gate” on kindle

ValkyriaObscura

Sarah's comically bad navigation still has me chuckling 😂

Personssess

I really really hope for some happy tears for both Sarah and Rei

chris kizziah

Looking forward to learning more about Sarah. Also, wondering why she didn’t get a Japanese name but Rei did.

Im pretty stoked to see how parameter testing shakes out with all this huge advancement rei has gained. And not gonna lie I hope Sarah knocks Sidorov out of systems if he doesn’t get him self transferred before that.

Happy birthday!

Robert Gibson

Thank you! I can't read it immediately, and am anxious to get to the doctors waiting room so that I can. I've never wanted the doctor to be slow to see me before! 😁

Hope

Thank you Bryce, the V2 was defiantly better, the Sarah Chapter is great, and that they are working it out. I would like to see the reveal to the class about the new helm, and systems for the first years. Especially with the final q4 parameter testing in a couple of weeks. isn't systems and intersystems held over the summer break?

Christian Kalemkiewicz

Seeing Rei space out so much struck me as odd at first as he just seems to roll with the punches, but then I stopped to think about everything he has gone through in the last month or so. Starting with Sectionals, there was Viv acting all weird and not talking to him, which must be a big change for two people who have been joined at the hip for a few years. Then there was the attack and its subsequent effects. Type Shift II. His new armor. Temporal Step. Being forced to accept a draw in the finals duel with Aria. The heavy conversation with the squad about his and Logan’s backstories. Then, as soon as he gets back, he and Aria get ambushed with Central’s bullshit about transferring, forcing him to take the Kamiya offer. Then Viv gets hurt pushing herself too much as she thought she would be left behind (which is ridiculous and Rei blames himself for, even though he tries not to). The Shard. He then meets his Grandfather and finds out what happened when he was born. There’s a difference between understanding what happened and KNOWING what happened. He also finds out he has a sister. Catcher then awakens his shard, but gets jumped, where Rei finds Sidorov fighting HIS SISTER, who just so happened to transfer to Galens without a word, forcing a meeting between the two of them. Then there’s the conversation with Jasper. Facing his fear of the training projections. And now, he develops a new CAD Type. That’s a LOT for anyone. Especially, when it involves his family. Family who he thought left him behind, only to find out some of them seemingly didn’t, or didn’t know. As far as spacing out goes... In my mind, Rei has been treating the Kamiya training as sort of a business transaction, trying to keep the personal side of it at bay while he gets what he needs. But then he finds out Hiroto is traveling to Astra to be close to him as much as possible and Sarah is actually here. They truly want him to be part of their lives. That would throw anyone for a loop

Devin Jaros

I really want them to meet him and everytime someone says his field name he corrects them with something else! But have him never use the same name twice! 🤣

Garret Bazurto

I am really happy we got another Sarah chapter. I have been waiting to see more of her. I am really Looking forward to how the conversation goes with Rei. Then maybe catcher. Hopefully we get to see her deliver a full beat down of Sidorov.

Tim Kilgore

I’ve gotten lost like that a couple times. Imagine this, though, having to use a white cane, which is no big deal, but no traffic clues or anything of the kind to let a person know where they are. And then, not crossing the streets quite straight. Now that, is a crazy way to get lost, but it does happen. Lol.

Tim Kilgore

I wonder. What if what we are seeing is such a situation where by the cads become an intelligent network in order to compete with the arcons. That would be quite the interesting development.

gratch42

Thanks for the chappie. I saw “lighter place” and Sarah PoV and was SURE there’d be Catcher interaction with Sarah. Also a bit surprised there’s no 2nd years that Sid has blacklisted or that hate him ready to talk with Sarah. Might take a bit to find.

Sugoi

The oddity I find weird this chapter are the 2nd years. These cadets are soldiers being trained for the frontlines, yet they're scared of some A rank who shares dorms and classes with them. How are there no Lennon or Rei personalities within the 2nd years, every last one of them are spineless and wouldn't make it a year on the frontlines if this it what it takes. It does kind of suck we're getting away from Shido again, it's been so long since we've been on the topic really. I am looking forward to Rei and Sarah's conversation and HOPE it's one on one. Man, I love Rei and Aria but the clinginess is cringing me to the max. She's really been reduced to what Viv was back in book 2 before Chancery set her straight from the "Overprotective parent." Idk, it may just be me I guess. I will say, I like the Sarah bit with her having no sense of direction. I'm surprised she made it to Campus of the flyer. I can't remember if it was said she's more reliable in combat or not, but I'd find it funny if her team ended up as runner ups due to her. Thanks for the chapter! Same time next week?

Brandon King

I genuinely have come to love this story. I do wonder what the climax of this book will be?? Coming into it like many others, I assumed it would be Systems... I definitely don't think we can cover that in the fifteen or so chapters remaining which is fine. What do you guys think though? What will be the climactic event of this book?? Whatever it is will probably happen on campus... Bryce, feel free to timeskip to systems in the next chapter and make this post irrelevant 🤣😂 Just kidding. Do your thing.

gratch42

I believe the thought was parent Keiji named Reidon but parent Samantha named Sarah.

Arjun Gopal

i honestly quite like the pace of the story so far, if this were another story id be baffled by spending 3 books in the first year, but the way the characters, their powers, and their relationships are being developed alongside the ever-expanding world means i have so much to look forward to!

Impanickin

“The famous gatebasher” yeah, he’s clearly just fucking with us at this point 🤣

Garret Bazurto

I have a friend who thinks that whichever direction she is facing is north no matter what. Sarah reminds me of her. lol.

Impanickin

I mean we still have 14-15 chapters or so left going off the other books, I imagine it’ll end right before systems, with the last chapter being a timeskip to them getting on the ships to head to systems.

Jonah

Do you guys think he'll reach A0 before systems

Sugoi

I do still believe we could get a glimpse of the tournament. Or some development of the other System's and their cadets. Like will we only see the opponents Rei and co will fight when it happens? I would hope not personally. Some of them should be around B2 or B3? Rei's specs are surely averaging around the C9-B2 ballpark if I had to guess, which puts him on even footing with anyone of his year with slight pushback. Hopefully we get a glimpse at the frontlines? It's hard to say if Bryce would give us a character death in this series, but there is one that's always crossed my mind for the use. Amina Laurent is a PERFECT use. She's tied to a handful of already established characters that have their own relationship with our main group and it would be an ideal way to remind them of why they're CAD users. A timeskip after a Kamiya reunion would be great though. A one on one talk between siblings, then maybe Hiroto joins in? I don't think we'll see the parents for another while, possibly next book?

Hope

With him reaching B6 and getting a rank a week or so. Yes I would say A0 by systems and probably A2 or A3 to start second year which is totally crazy.

Brandon King

I'd love to get a glimpse of systems...If not though..what will be the M Climactic event of this book? In 1 it was The fight with Grant, in 2 it was the fight with Aria and the hack... For 3? Don't get me wrong there have been a lot of cool moments we've been waiting for..but this would be the first book without a tournament/ Climactic fight..

Sugoi

Yeah it’s kind of why I’m hoping we get a visual of WHY Central needs Rei to be pushed to this extent. We have the subtle mention from General Laurent back at the end of 2. More context towards that would be great, even if it’s only us readers who know what’s going on. My guess for these remaining chapters will definitely revolve around Rei/Kamiya and Chancery/Logan getting their respective upgrades and/or User Uniques. These simply aren’t enough for a climax as you said and it would definitely leave book 3 feeling hollow in comparison to 1 and 2.

Bj

Does anyone know where I can get in contact with the author since I want to ask about tips for writing fights since I’m making a stormweaver fanfic

Mike Gilbert

Agree entirely, I am thought to be stoic but even I would be thrown if all the above (or similar, since I don't seem to have a CAD handy at the moment) had hit me in the same timespan.

Dan

I think at some point before the end of the book, we will see a Duel/challenge in the Galen’s arena before the entire student body, between Rei and Sidorov . Not only would it set a tone for systems but go a long ways toward breaking the grip of terror Sidorov has on the second year class. That would be a fight to remember and lead into systems. Just my daydreaming, as I’m sure Bryce has everything under control!

Brandon King

That'd be cool...although I'd think Sarah will be the one to handle him. Sidorov blitzed right by Rei and Aria during the initial encounter with Sarah so I'm not sure how much of a fight that'd be.. Granted A2 V B6ish is only a half tier apart so maybe? Of course..can't rule out some kinda insane training session and or Shido nonsense that gets Rei to A0 by the end of the book.. Now we got a fight!!

Wraithmarked Creative

Hey BJ! Best place to reach me is on Reddit. Posting in r/Warformed will get you some broader feedback, and I can chime in IF I have time, which I don't always, sorry!

Jack

Aww, I caught up
