Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Sydney gets distracted by literally anything - 1:10Sydney eats lunch and forgets she was training - 2:1Sydney loses interest after getting a splinter - 3:1Sydney hits a vital service line underground - 4:1Sydney sends the wrecking ball or bulldozer blade flying into the building - 4:1Aliens land and attempt to steal the orbs - 5:1Sydney spontaneously discovers she's distantly related to the Hapsburgs and is whisked away to an adventure in Europe - 6:1Sydney smashes herself with the wrecking ball and spends two weeks in traction - 8:1Sydney sticks with a rigorous training schedule for a full week - 174:1

This page sort of depends on the fact that you guys know that Harrison is an ex-Ranger, but I think he's only appeared in one or two other pages, and I don't know if he even had any dialogue. I'm guilty here of letting the Who's Who do the heavy lifting for me. The short version is he was working as a Chicago detective, and doggedly followed a case even after the brass waved him off, and in doing so discovered evidence of the supernatural underground, like you do if you're the main character of the pilot episode of a supernatural police procedural. Like Fringe, but with more werewolves and vampires. Shady supernaturals tried to eliminate him, but being an ex-Ranger, he gave them way more trouble than they expected and was eventually brought into the loop by non-shady supernaturals. He now works with Arc-LIGHT and often partners with Pixel. 

It's possible Harrison is being slightly hyperbolic about how much caffeine was involved in Ranger school. But people in Cultivation novels are basically junkies. By the time they make it to Silver, half of them have stopped eating food that isn't more "Legendary Mana Tankard" than riceball.(Next page actually details points spent. I'll include an updated skill tree.)

It's not stealing if it's reclaiming! PLOT TWIST!

Graeme Thorburn

Pixel's face straining to lift is so precious.

Swedish Chef

Betting on Sydney accidentally swiping a butterfly while training and spending the rest of the week hiding into her bed while nursing the poor wee thing. What are the odds ?

Hamish Clarkson

I see Dave has been at the manwha/manhua recently.

Martin Croft

Not sure I'd want to be that close. Way to scary for me. I'm offering 2:1 that Anvil has to catch something stop Pixel becoming flat.

Aaron Mauthe

I got 5 on aliens landing and trying to take the orbs

Fogel

Damn Pixel got abs. Sydney must be disappointed that they don't actually look that much alike.

Ray

I'll take that longshot action on Sydney sticking in for a whole week!

Andrew Copsey

Does she actually have 2 lighthooks now? Or is that just the speed with which she's wielding it?

Biblioholic1993

I mean i didnt know his name was all, the fact he went to ranger school is pretty clear in the dialoge. May be a problem when/if you plan on doing a print version is all.

Robert Miller

Loving the odds ratios. Anvil might be a bit generous in Sydney could lose interest as she starts thinking about lunch.

CyberSkull

7:1 Sidney discovers she is a robot and doesn't need to exercise, only "upgrade".

Torabi

Yeah, I think I'd put money on "Harrison has never spoken nor has his name been mentioned before this page". I couldn't tell you when he'd appeared previously either.

Justaguy

I think the ex-ranger thing was well enough segued into on the page that a prior explanation wasn't required.

Justaguy

So we know the molestorb [*cough*lighthook] was upgraded to have 2 tendrils now. Other point effect unknown?

Mike

OMG Pixel is so adorable!

Anton Schleef

Well, I'm not sure about her sticking with it for a full week, but for more than a day or two? Definitely. It's going to be keeping at it past day three that I see being in question. Embarrassment and Personal Failure are powerful motivating emotions, and Sydney got hit by them in spades on that trip back. The big question is whether training will even provide any benefits or not for her, and how much training it will take if so. Unless just doing any training is going to make a notable difference right away it's doubtful that anything less than a week is going to make a measurable difference, and on the third day that is going to be a major hurdle for her to get past.

Sydney picking up some weird cultivator trivia that somehow proves useful in a future battle: virtual certainty

Geass

I didn't know who Harrison was, but from context I figured he had gone through ranger training.

Kamikaze

I really like pixel's face in the last panel. Pure Gold.

Dane Filemyr

Okay, so Harrison's first line is confusing me a bit. Is that supposed to be "What's the story (over there)" or some variation, thereof, or is it supposed to be semi-military phrasing, wherein you end random sentence with "over" to replicate radio use? (Which is definitely done, at least by grunts) Because if it's the latter, I believe it should be "What's the story, over?" (Or technically, "What's the story? Over." But it's never phrased that way in colloquial use.)

Daniel Schinhofen

The longshot is too good to pass up, I'd put a ten on it, just because. Honestly I expect her to be too tired after lunch to get back to it.

Alysandir

I have to admit, Pixel is looking extra cute this comic. Wouldn't mind seeing a NSFW in the works of this version of her.

Marc Vun Kannon

Bring some of the gang out to play with her and she might stick with it longer. They really all ought to be training against each other, but Sydney would be the greatest wild card.

AlpineBob

She is unlikely to ever be in a fight where a dozer blade or wrecking ball is handy. Knowing how to use found tools is great, but the tentacles are useful in and of themselves - she should be working on that. For instance, I'd like to see her try to feed herself with those things - fine detail work is what needs training, not random destruction. Syd is great at random and destruction already!

akrasia

Someday fine day we'll see Syd throw somebody by their tongue - using tentacles. Somebody BIG!

Bigmohunter

Does Sydney know I bald guy named Joe?

IvyReed

Pump that tiny iron! We believe in you!

Jerry Curlin Jr

It makes my whole day when ever I see Pixel
