Nooo it wasn't accidentally scheduled for 9pm this time 🤣 I just didn't have time to wrap some thoughts on the campaign before just now.

I've also found that the ending falls more flat than i'd like, so I foresee edits, hopefully by the end of the week!

*********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)!

Lyn Shirley

I am so excited! Thanks!

jonah pellymounter

I'm not going to lie, I assumed you had forgotten to set it again. Good chapter though, glad to be back to training, and hopefully see what temporal shift is really capable of soon

kirbydabear

idk about flat, I'm personally hyped to see Rei try to whale on his gramps within 2 minutes of meeting him

Lyn Shirley

This chapter moves the story along nicely. Always a pleasure to see Rei’s progression. And knowing Rei and Logan are being true team members, encouraging each other after they beat on each other is a tremendous relief.

Wolfgirl-Sylphie

Im really hoping the as promised turns out to be the sponsorship trainers

Nahar

It’s gotta be that or news about Viv

Genevieve Dickinson

Everything I was hoping for from the rei/grant fight!! They’ve both come a long way and their relationship has changed so much since their showdown at the end of book one. Also love seeing rei struggling a bit with phalanx mode; I feel like it could be kind of a metaphor for him learning to bear the weight of responsibility that he’s facing as he progresses in strength and experience. Lovely!

Ivo

As promised will be the requested meeting with Kamiya (grandpops). The sponsorship will be coming effective the monday after.

Travis Magro

Curious to what everyone’s reactions to Rei’s new armor was, because not only did he get the new Type Shift, he also has the new full set of armor with the full face mask. If people were freaking out over Aria’s development, Rei’s might have sent some of them catatonic.

Voror

If I'm not wrong this should be Jasper at the end? Looking forward to that immensely But has he actually told his team or anyone else? Also glad to see Rei still needs to catch up a lot and that he was losing with Phalanx

Alexander

That was right after coming back from sectionals, about a week ago

JRatt

"-blue, rang like a bell" Bryce... did you read Cradle while writing this?

saynt

youve miss read i think she as acting as bodyguard earlier in the week or last week im not sure what day it is

chris kizziah

I can't wait to see Grant's next upgrade since he's been training with Rei and we haven't seen Viv's armor since she upgraded. I wonder if there will be any major changes for her. Is Rei going to let next Friday just be a surprise for everyone or is he going to tell them sometime before that he got them all a little gift. I can hear the audio book voice of Catcher when he finds out about the group sponsership "Rei, Let me get this straight. You got us each our own type instructor. Who, Rei? Who did you get?" "I don't really know"

Scott

Jasper, yes - and most likely "As promised" would be the meeting with Gramps - although I dont think Rei knows its Gramps?

Voror

Ah true that meeting was promised. Yeah he just asked to speak with the one pulling the strings but I don't believe he knows exactly who it is aside from likely suspecting someone in his family.

Eric Edwards

This chapter was "Nice" but there leaves a lot of open ended threads which could be exciting to explored. Students and staffing reaction to Rei's new abilities, POV from Bishop as Rei rejoins standard school life, the fight with logan was a little flat but i understand the story has to move forward, etc. I'm still looking forward to the next chapter, DON'T IDLE. lol

Νοχ

"All of them"

Iron Akela

I thought the sponsorship would start this coming Monday, so 2 days from this chapter

Iron Akela

Very nice chapter! Glad to see Rei is learning, and struggling to adapt to the complete opposite instincts. I think that’ll be the biggest hurdle Type Shift poses. Nice all round, though glossing over the double shocks of Rei’s new armour AND phalanx mode does make me feel a little cheated :o) Glad to hear Jasper came through with the meeting with grandpa. Wonder if all the trainers will be showing up then too. I can just imagine all of Firesong (except maybe Viv) walking into a room and their jaws dropping when they see who’s there!!! And then there’s Guest and Dent’s reactions to the trainers too. Looking forward to Rei telling Firesong and the instructors about the sponsorship! That’ll be awkward and epic at the same time! Oh and the school hasn’t seen Temporal Step yet….

Iron Akela

Part of me wonders when Rei is going to drop a hint to Jasper or Kamiya about who the Kamiya Corporation should next sponsor from Galens. Because I see this as a great opportunity for both Galens to get some big hitters on their side, and Kamiya Corporation to develop a relationship with Galens. Because I think it’s inevitable that Rei will somehow basically ‘tell’ Kamiya/Jasper to sponsor Lennon! Also, when Sarah shows up, Kamiya will have a fighter in each year on their books (and Firesong as a whole). I can see that being a big thing down the line… Sarah showing up Sidorov or something would be awesome!

gratch42

Ooh - I almost want Rei to ask gpa to talk and fight. Might as well get some training and sneak attack with a TStep while processing issues. Like a work lunch… but with simulated weaponry.

gratch42

So Gpa meetup soon and then various sponsorship trainers. I wonder if Kamiya only sends one at a time for a few weeks and rotates them in. Don’t want such high powered fighters just sitting around when someone else is instructing…

Aaron Tufts

Honestly had the same thought. Would love to see a POV from a random classmate when one of Shidos upgrades is first revealed 🤣

Sam

Lennon already has a sponsor, doesn't he?

AliWake

Can't wait to see them all back to full strength in a team battle now. Am I missing something though? Wasn't part of the sponsorship deal medical help? Didn't Jasper say they had access to medical devices the military didn't know existed yet? Or is it as simple as the sponsorship doesn't technically start for another couple days?

Iron Akela

He does, though I thought a fighter could have multiple sponsors. And if they can’t, I’m not sure anyone could beat the “grandpa this is my friend, who’s helped me a LOT and been a kind of mentor. Oh and BTW he’s a BEAST!” package :o)

Iron Akela

While I can see that, the fact that the whole team is sponsored, and Rei is basically 3 types at once, makes me think the trainers won’t be lacking for ‘work’. I mean, the Ivory Shield helping Aria would be insane! And I’m sure Jasper has a roster of truly exceptional users of all types coming. So combine the first year sub instructors with the bad to the bone S rankers I’m fully expecting Jasper to send/bring, I imagine everyone will be busy. Also, I’d not be surprised if a few lucky first years are asked to join as sparring partners too. Rei was alone, then had Viv. Then he got to Galens and has made solid friends. Can you honestly say Kamiya won’t consider there a debt of honour owed to the likes of Sense, Kay, and Gisham? Aside from Firesong, they’ve been there for Rei since basically day 1.

Iron Akela

Yeah I thought of that. I’ve a sneaking suspicion that once Jasper or Kamiya find out about Viv, stops even Mayde didn’t even know could be pulled will be yanked out with S9 speed!! Especially as it’s Viv - the first person to stand by Rei, and his best friend.

Iron Akela

Grandpa? Not so sure. Mum and dad though… part of me wants to see Rei inform Logan they’re true cowards :oD

Iron Akela

Ooooh, that’s a delicious idea!! We know Kamiya is around the same rank as Lennon and Bretz, so that could be hella entertaining!

Iron Akela

Oh Catcher’s reaction is going to be PRICELESS!!! Especially in the audiobook! The voice the actor does for Catcher is probably my favourite! Bryce has been seeding famous S rankers of all types through the two books, so I’m expecting some serious shock when the team finds out!

Iron Akela

Oh that’s a great idea! I’d love to see the reaction from say Sense, maybe Sellek could work too. But Sense or Kay would be my first choices for that POV

Armando

I can’t wait till Reí and Arya do some type of shield wall during team matches

AliWake

Yeah I guess as someone who has had to pay for a lot of physio over the years and then gotten given private sport insurance, calling Jasper would of been top of my list of things to do haha.

Grakyn

So looking forward to reading about that Friday afternoon!

Aerial Assault

CAD rank is the average of CAD specs, right?

Sam

Think so.

Brandon King

Kinda surprised Rei got no upgrade after them beat downs...

AliWake

He has practiced with grant a lot by now and it's a skill issue getting used to the shield rather than his specs.

gratch42

Rei says everyone was watching him with jaws open but they were slightly prepped after seeing upgraded Aria all week and any possible reactions may drop in the locker rooms after the training. Maybe reactions in an upcoming chapter… 🤷

gratch42

Shido often waits for Rei to leave combat field before collecting data - so if it has decided enough new shield form data has been collected it may issue a notification- though most of his “new to shield” data was probably processed training with Imala/Bretz earlier in the week

Brandon King

Bryce actually commented on this in the B3 CH8 Redditt..😁😁

Sam

In Rei's defense, it's been one day since he made the arrangements and they've been kind of distracted with Viv.

Scott

i think its possibly even simpler than that. From the time rei made the deal, to the time Viv did herself in is only a couple hours. From Rei making the deal to his fights with Grant is - well, under 24 hours. I think there just hasnt been enough time to get the word everywhere, and I am not sure anyone has been actively spreading the word yet that Viv is hurt. Or at least no one that knows about Rei's deal.
