I was JUST starting to get tired of the heavy stuff. Time to bring back the fun and games!

*********

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)!

Woo new chapter!

Warlord

Great chapter as always. One question, wouldn’t Chancery meet with them in the suite since she’s their suitemate? Or was she supposed to have been doing something else at the time

Georgina Shultz

Excellent! Right in time for my lunch break! Thanks, Bryce!

Tyler Gerard

Aria’s taunts are awesome lol

Voror

I'd actually wondered at some point if just having a bunch of lancers going for him could be a good fight to really stress test this. Especially if they can put his lack of reach to their advantage.

Zwil

2v1, get good son!

Grantandaj

Can’t wait to see how many he ends up handling at once in his most disadvantaged matchup.

PapaJohn

It’s SO good to get a proper chapter of Rei aura-farming after so long🤣🤣🤣

Iron Akela

Yeah I was gonna mention that

Sam

Wouldn't be surprised if she is still sneaking in extra training before their scheduled extra training.

Warlord

Yeah that would make sense, just wondering if that’s what Bryce intended

Iron Akela

Very excellent chapter! I did notice A1 a lot, when it’s 1A. And there’s mention of Takeshi, which i assume should be Hiroto (grandpa). And Chancery not being in their suite overnight. I love this chapter though… so much nuance! I love how Rei and Aria’s relationship is progressing, and her burn was excellent! Sense being all about Rei’s evolution is lovely to see, Sense is a tops bloke and I’ve got a lot of time for him!!! The changes Rei is feeling, that’s awesome too! Wonder if it’s natural for a full body device or it’s Shido further growing inside Rei’s own brain :o) I mean he’s gotta have a shard too right? And the 2v1… glad we’re seeing that! Though part of me hoped it’d be Lancers and spear Phalanxes… you know just to make it a challenge :oD Definitely a lovely light palate cleanser after the last bunch of chapters. Most excellent! Bravo Bryce, bravo!

Dee

Thank you 😃

Joni

I love the fun chapters, these made the reading experience of the first two books so amazing. Please don't forget them in this one, the story is great and all but without this it doesn't feel like a school experience and I think, for me at least, the character interactions are the most important.

Hope

Love the new chapter, the full body and it's advantages, really glad that you were able to use some of your previous written work, in the bringing back of the 2v1. Please keep up the good work. Maybe with the next update the story so far?

Silva Shadows

Man I love Bretz. Dude knows how to be just the type of instructor that everyone loathes and loves.

gratch42

Loved the chappie. Thanks Bryce. Still wondering when Dent tells all the first years about NEW first year brackets in the end of year tournaments.

Kirivina

My brain immediately finishes that sentence. 🤣

Nicolaus Fountain

Loved this chapter! I really enjoyed the change of pace. About half way through it I was like dang this feels like a nice long chapter. Then I got to the end and realized it was to damn short! Did you have to leave us on a cliff like that? If I am honest though I would want to know what happens after the fight as well, and then what happens after that! Lol. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Dirty Dibbler

It feels like it’s almost a throwback to book one, after he was jumped and in the hospital, Aria promised she would stay by his side until he was strong enough to fight multiple from their year

Dirty Dibbler

I’m curious if his type shift is going to be a more traditional lancer or if it’ll continue to stray from the norm and go maximum reach like The Lashers chain swords

J D

It'd be cool for his Saber form to grow somewhat more AND become a chain sword like Renji's from Bleach.

Voror

Yeah we have Breaker as a sort of unorthodox Brawler it feels like with a specific focus. I'm not sure what a Lancer might turn into. Maybe go a bit Sun Wukong with an extending staff? I dunno I can't really think of anything offhand.

Voror

That could be cool though that's not far off from Lennon's whole deal.

Voror

You know, if they really wanted to push this lancer thing, they could always have him fight Sidorov...

chris kizziah

As much fun as this chapter is, I can’t wait for Rei to fight his sister. It would be fun for them to have a light hearted conversation while stalking each other.

Russell Stephenson

YAY!!! So fun 😁. It really starts to show how much Shido has improved for him to need multiple adversaries. Now do we see General manipulation or someone else get a new fragment. Or down and gritty with Sarah talk shared family angst 😔 🤧 😪. Or hard-core slaughter in the night time training.

Brandon King

Bryce! Idea! You should have a contest were we guess Rei's next Parameter Test Scores.. 5-10$ buy in. Closest guess gets a signed copy of artwork or Book 3! Calling my shot now! 62 Discs, First A-5 reached, S-0 in fortitude!

Reaperess

IS NO OME GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE MASTERBATION JOKE? "Jax. Off." Say it out loud.

radiantmemories451

This was a great ch, lots of fun. And a nice, natural transition from heavy to lighter fun in it.

kirbydabear

Bryce has probably already thought about this and maybe 1vMany addresses it, but Rei beating up on Lancers ain't gonna trigger Shido. He needs to be in situation(s) where he needs more reach than Saber gives him. Like perhaps against a higher-ranked Lancer who's also a really good figjter, if they can find someone like that :P

Kory Leach

Lol, I figured I’d write in PG and let everyone take it to the next level in their own mind!

Esch

And there's where Anatoli Sidorov comes in. Besidrs being an Psycho Asshole the dude is a pretty good High Rank Lancer.

Shan Sharif

Thanks for this! Been stuck in airports for the last 36 hours and this was a healthy reset…. Now to just get home with the 6 yr old and not lose my shit…. Though seeing Ray lose it might be funny sometime

Dan

Great chapter!

Aaron Tufts

Man I wonder what the reaction will be when Rei finally gets as tall or taller than the rest of them. Then he’ll really be frightening!

Larry Lewis

Early in book 1 Col. Guest (?) sparred with Aria. Wasn't HE a lancer? A Pawn ranked Lancer? He would be a much better training/teaching match for Rei.

Wraithmarked Creative

🤣🤣🤣 I didn't see that, and now I can't UNSEE it. I'll have to debate if I'm gonna leave that in ahhaha

Reaperess

LEAVE IT! Its so great!

Larry Lewis

Rather than unique Type Classes, why not give Rei the actual Arsenal Shift. Think Kalus Laurant's staff manipulations applied to all of Rei's current and future weapons. A saber sword that grows or thickens based on need. Or a lance/future spear that can lengthen. A shield that can transform from tower shield to Captain America round shield that can be thrown. An axe that can transform to a war hammer, etc.

Gabe Yohn

Yeeesss leave it!!

Reaperess

Maybe restructure it like this: "You stay put, Gathers. Jax. Off." 😂

Brandon King

What about a Halbred? Part Mauler. Part Lancer.😬

NotHereTo FuckSpiders

Im rereading book 1 an think i just found an easter egg or maybe just a private joke for bryce. The boy that makes a fool of himself in cad salection is connected to general able

Jason

We know from the washers future interview he winds up taller than all of them so he has atleast a half foot to go probably more. I doubt when he said that mean was including grant considering grant is 6'8" . Rei growing a whole foot still would be crazy.

Rasmus Salling

Well, it's not really an Easter egg, more like a clever name-drop. He needed a name for the exchange, why not use one that will become important? You never really know with Bryce though, was Able planned at this point or did he create the name here and decided to re-use it when he later created the semi-Villain that is Able?

Nomad

Like Jetwing?

Kory Leach

Just don’t make it a master debate!

Larry Lewis

Yes, but the Colonel would also be a new opponent for Rei which will help him level up faster.

Al Parks

Wow! That chapter is amazing, great cliff hanging at end, and I love the interaction of fellow students and friends reacted to full body armor Shido. The sub instructors collaboration was great, definitely want more of that too. Can't wait for next chapter, hope to see who gets next shard and evolution!

Mike Gilbert

Enjoyed that immensely, and, as always, am left wanting more. Well done

Garret Bazurto

This chapter was great. I read it so fast I was surprised I when I came to the end. I first thought I skipped some pages on accident but I was just so into it that it flew by. I really like the 2v1 idea but now I am eager to read that. I hope we still get the 2v1 phalanx fight from one of the earlier chapter that was rewritten. That was entertaining too and might be fun to see how Rei does versus different 2v1 matchups. I look forward to the next chapter.

Andrew

I hope rei eventually moves up to train with second years could lead to a lot of good scenes

Andrew

I’m re reading books rn and do we ever find out what caches backstory is? Catcher mentions she has a chip on her shoulder in book 1 but I don’t remember ever learning what it was

Andrew

Nooooo I love short rei

Hope

She failed the first time she tried for a CAD, and is a year older than the rest of the first year's.

Andrew

Ohhhh ya I’m a dummy

Tim Kilgore

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can find some storm Weaver fan fiction? Thanks.

Jonah

Are we getting blessed with a short chapter or anything this weekend

Dan

Every Friday I wake up with hope and saying to myself ….Please let Bryce give us another chapter today! I know, I’m a shameless fan with an insatiable hunger for more Stormweaver!!!!

Brandon King

Yeah hoping the same. Doubt it though..a year ago we on CHP 28 so Bryce is good for a chapter every 2.5 weeks ago.

Jonah

Lets just hope he does the impossible and releases a short chapter

Brandon King

Common B, you know wanna drop a Chapter on us today! General Able should already be on deck by know. Waiting for Rei to look up from dispatching 2 Lancers and lock eyes with the General...

Dan

It’s 505 pm on Monday, sadly no chapter……. Depression has set in, now I wait for four days until Friday, when I will wake up to hope again for a new chapter!! For now I just set sad and lonely, the hope and anticipation for a chapter has withered and all that is left is despair. I fortify myself with the knowledge that maybe Friday will bring a new chapter to fix my longing over all the cliff hangers Bryce has left us hungry for knowledge of the outcome!! Bryce , all the above is said just in fun…. Please can we have another chapter on Friday???? 🤣

Russell Stephenson

You could try Runesmith. It has lots of chapters to fill the need. Or Primal Hunter would fill a few days. I usually get surprised a day or two after a chapter drops. It's nice to be surprised 😮. And so many great stories out there 😀 👏.

Brandon King

Oh yeah i'm current on Primal Hunter. I have no idea how the heck Zogarth does that!! I'm also waiting for Quest Academy each monday.. Don't think I can handle any more addictions just yet.. But I will put Runesmith on the list. Thanks! Question: Do you mean Runesmith Trials?

Russell Stephenson

No, just Runesmith. The writer is kuropon. The writing is sometimes a bit odd,but the story is worth it.

Brandon King

Another thought...assuming things go good with Rei and Sarah...I wonder if she get involved with the evening Trainings? She is Kamiya and I'm Sure Hiroto will also want his daughter to get the very best..Obviously Rei and Co would need to be on board...going against her could be a really good thing for Shido since she is such a unique fighter. She could always just meet up for the morning sessions though l🤷🏿‍♂️

Fleetpanda

Idk… sure she’s ’technically’ family, but Rei knows Lennon much better and he only recently got the invite. Anything that Sarah can bring to training can be brought by an instructor. Maybe Gramps and Jasper can bring her in… but that would be pretty tactless, forcing Rei to interact with her

Brandon King

If things go well, maybe Rei would actually want her there and it wouldn't be forcing.. I referenced family, not due to her closeness with Rei at this point, but due to the fact that she is Kamiya and Kamiya is already paying the bills.. Sure, Hiroto could make a separate arrangement to get Sarah some trainers, but he's already paying for some that are right there. Plus it's not like she has a team or anything so why not bring her in.. Also, there are no Maulers among the instructors or helpers.. Hard to similate a huge axe or hammer given the weapons the Trainers and 3rd years have...plus given her insane strength and speed for her type, I think she'd be quite the variable to expose Shido too.. Perhaps if the Lancer plan plan works out, Mauler "exposure" would be next... Although that would be a lot of types to learn by Intersystems 🤔 It's true that Rei doesn't know her all that well yet, but that should change soon. But what he does know is that she totally saved Catcher's bacon and is aligned against his greatest enemy at school.. Not a bad start.

Bj

god i love this series so much

Brandon King

Question! It doesn't appear that catcher has a HUD with his new evolution... Is that intentional, or an oversight?? His half-helm completely covers his eyes, so why wouldn't he have a display just like when Rei, and later Viv, had there I eyes covered by their CADs?? Going further, it will be cool to see if SHIDO Assigns HUD abilities that compliment one another from a Squad Standpoint..

Ryan Zieman

I am thinking that the first paragraph would be better earlier in the book. The one thing that I feel is lacking is how all of these things together are affecting Rei. We see a bit of how each individual situation is weighing him down but not necessarily how he is dealing with them all at once. I hope that makes sense. Brilliant job! I am new to patron and fairly new to these books but I cannot get enough of it. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Ethan J

Is it just me but why do I only get the chapter 46 file when I try to download this one?

Brandon King

Bryce had talked about possibly combining some of the previous chapters. My guess is, he has already done so.. So what would have been 48 became 46. This is a good thing! If he sticks to his 60ish chapters, then we now have 14 more chapters coming instead of 16! 🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏿‍♂️

Patrick Mast

No!!!! Im getting chapter 46 :(
