The war has been going on for 2 months now, it's been at least 1.5months since Fira alerted her brothers. How has there not been reinforcements yet? Doesn't have to be from the T4 empire. But their army is just part of a counts army. The T3empire they are in should have people that can reinforce them that are reasonably close. And if they are all dealing with their own stuff, Fira should've been informed and told about the big picture situation of the war. Communication issues don't apply. Every force has multiple communication orbs.

Alex

Nah, I like the war stuff more. The adventuring was always kinda boring cause it was too easy. And besides, the story started with reivyns memories of being a soldier. Deep down that's a big part of his character, so this story was always supposed to have a lot of military action.

I miss the adventuring days with his old party and school mates

It’s almost certainly not divine mana. Remember veridical roughly means truth, which makes me think it’s a class skill that augments the use of the use of the veridical affinity. In a way this probably leads to some broken stuff like how Reivyn is able to manipulate his status, since it’s a manifestation of the veridical affinity, but on a larger scale. We haven’t seen much use of the veridical affinity in combat so it’s hard to say how combat oriented this skill could be

Robert Apgar

20,40,60.... As he passes 28 without the skill or informing us of his choice lol. True mana could NOT be as absolutely busted as giving him access to divine mana, I mean it could but that is pretty absurd that his tier 2 class would have access to it. Even if Light Magus in all it's lacking rarity required access to Verdical affinity it still seems like a stretch to have the Tier 8ish divine mana come from it at Tier 2.

Derek Walker

Interestingly, true mana was also a class skill for light magus. This makes me think it’s related to the veridical affinity which could be very broken. But yes he has 4 class skills to choose from but he will only eventually get 3 (one at levels 20,40, and 60). So I wonder what will get left out

Robert Apgar

[Available: Enforce, Impart, Mana Well, True Mana] so there are only two class skills to pick from you say, Mana Well and True Mana? They sound really good! Enforce might have less diplomatic and more +Will effectiveness, and Impart might be similarly busted in a different way that is also hard to predict based on it's name. However Mana Well and TRUE MANA whisper sweet nothings to me.

Derek Walker

The potential available class skills are listed when someone gets a class. For Grand Arcanist they are [Available: Enforce, Impart, Mana Well, True Mana]. So none related to Kefira. I don't think the title Imperial Liaison added anything extra to his class, but we have no reference point to tell. In general it seems the arcanist classes have the ability to learn any element, as it seems partly assisted by the system (like how Reivyn picked up the Rune skill so easily), which is what I was referencing

Robert Apgar

He is her Imperial Grand Arcanist, maybe he gets a class skill choice related to her? I've completely forgotten the rules for class skills but he should get one soon.

👍🏿 growth

Generally I agree, but I can see something like him getting several space or time related affinities, but either not unlocking space/time or unlocking it but only having it at a low level. His class descriptions (and ones of direct lower rarity as well) do seem to imply he can learn any element, so I wonder how that will play out.

Derek Walker

Actually, this seems right. One of the interludes mentioned Ameliyn had just unlocked her tier 2 class when the attack happened. It still is a little weird she never picked up a better method of mana circulation in the following 20 years. Unless, as possibilities 2) and 3) from above suggest there are actually good reasons for sticking with that method, at least initially.

Robert Apgar

On one hand I want him to get those but Kefira is already having trouble with being relevant. Her background is important, she is hot, and she is a space/time mage. Her background is being useful but it isn't all that she is so far, but if suddenly Reivyn takes space/time and makes it his own she loses a lot of uniqueness to what she can bring.

Robert Apgar

Bruh this chapter was a sweet sweet payoff, but you are over here asking for a pic that would be even better? I like your style.

Derek Walker

I think his mom mentioned it was one dimension of time. Like Kefira’s tier 3 emptiness seems to be one aspect of space. The time affinity doesn’t just have to be slowing or speeding up time (which we saw Kefira do), I feel there is much more to it than that.

seth dauer

Eternity has a different flavor than time. Never ending or timeless vs accelerating or slowing time

Derek Walker

Another interesting bit of lore that was dropped: the separation of space and time related affinities Reivyn has a tier 3 gravity affinity, which if the physics of our world are in any way relevant, is related to space. He also has a tier 4 eternal, which seems clearly time related (tangentially I think Kefira’s father’s class name comes from Having this affinity). So while reivyn doesn’t have space/time he seems to have broken the system similar too, but in a lesser way than Kefira has.

StarFox

Are you an artist by any chance? Because I need Reivyn to reveal his status page to Kefira and then I need to see a picture of her face.

Robert Apgar

Honestly 11/12 seems like the age it happened since they mucked about in those vassal kingdoms for years. Also a big part of Reivyn is that initial 1k exp he got in the womb so they weren't exactly settled down when she had him. Obviously only Kyfe knows for certain if he has hashed that part of the background out fully, but I think she was young and dumb and weak so they had her and one of the younger but promising royal guards run because they couldn't possibly accomplish anything. Also at some point they found a T4 dungeon, created a teleport key, and created a network of loyal people to move with them to the T1 region.

Derek Walker

The thing that about the incomplete education is that the destruction of the empire had to have happened when his mom was like 11/12 for this to be true because this mana circulation method is something that seems very basic to tier 2 training, especially for a mage class. From what we’ve seen of the timeline, that doesn’t seem to be right. His mom is 36, which means they settled down with reivyn when she was about 22. It’s implied that they wandered for a few years before settling down which suggests she was like 17 when the attack happened. Not only is that old enough to learn mana circulation, she should’ve graduated from the academy.

Robert Apgar

His mom wasn't given a complete education before her empire was destroyed so that is the most likely reason. If its because she never had time? Then this whole stint with sensei Kefira has only taken like 2 hours max so that doesn't make as much sense.

Robert Apgar

Metal hammer dude instructor Luigi ? and probably Aeriella the fire dancer... I am so happy she is sneaking in if it is her. Goth GF has already accepted Kefira as a sister and possibly infiltrated the enemy camp to hang out with her crush, her power of yolo knows no bounds.

Robert Apgar

Edit: Her hand traced his body with a slow, deliberate speed. Reivyn matched the speed, unspooling the yarn and keeping the threat taught> Thread Taut. Reivyn matched the speed, unspooling the yarn and keeping the threat taught between. > thread taut Taut is such a weird looking word, so this late at night that was probably more your problem than anything else. I've been drinking since this is a weekend so there might be more.

Derek Walker

I have been wondering about this. His mom says her magical training was cut off short, but surely this would’ve been one of the first things she would’ve learned, at least in tier 2. That leaves a few possibilities 1) the attack on the capital happened so early his mom had almost no magical training 2) there are actually benefits, particularly to the bloodline, that Kefira may not know about but his mom does and this is why she told reivyn to stick to that method 3) from what I understand your affinity level is tied in part to your insight + natural talent. Going slower may be disadvantageous in terms of affinity level but it may help build a better base.

Daniel Smith

So why didn't his mom teach him a better way to train his affinities, instead of letting him use what is apparently the worst way of doing it?

NJ Reed

Thanks for the chapter.

Starfall20

Man I wonder how fast he’s going to start gaining skill levels when he is playing with someone who is at least 2 tier if not three ahead of him.
