[Removed for Amazon ]Quest Academy: Legions (Chapters 5, 6 and 7)
Added 2025-01-14 01:08:18 +0000 UTCBook 5, Chapters 5, 6 and 7.
Hey Everyone,
Here's the next batch of 3 chapters. I've arrived in Daytona yesterday, and suffering from a hangover today. Robert Locke and Chatfield are excellent drinking partners, if anyone was curious.
Let me know what you think of the chapters. :) I'll see you all next week for the next batch. And don't worry, you will eventually see Upgrade, I promise.
All the best,
Brian
Comments
Got a couple things that I was wondering about as I read this story for the 3rd time (absolutely love this series so much!). First is about the visor, will there be a scene of Sal restoring it or are we going to assume he has done that already? And second, I was wondering when one of his friends will tell him to do his hero portrait to help promote himself as a proficient guildmaster? Especially since he needs to show himself as strong enough for people not to kidnap or kill him. I assume it will most likely be Vanessa or Barry. I’m looking forward to Barry helping him with it!

2025-07-24 08:42:55 +0000 UTCI think Wier says “sorry Fabi this is to for me today“ you might mean “sorry Fadi, this is it for me today“.

Dutch Palmer
2025-01-21 00:36:28 +0000 UTCI'm in Florida until the 9th of February with a few authors, so I'm in a very different timezone than the norm. New chapters are up. :)
James Northman
2025-01-21 00:31:47 +0000 UTCNo chapters today? I mean... I know much of Europe is drowning their sorrows with the new US administration's inauguration, but didn't realize that extended to Brian.
Dutch Palmer
2025-01-21 00:13:31 +0000 UTCThe question is will we finally see Upgrades reaction to seeing Jakle and learning it’s a mythic grade weapon? lol
Nate
2025-01-20 20:53:01 +0000 UTCit's the final countdown,... (cue synths)
Kevin Squalls
2025-01-20 20:13:33 +0000 UTCVery good point.
Ron Blondeau
2025-01-20 01:33:15 +0000 UTCThe Audible books really rock
Robert Crews
2025-01-19 20:53:45 +0000 UTCThat would be really cool
Nate
2025-01-19 17:25:56 +0000 UTCI wish they would release a dramatised graphic audio 🔉 book would be so cool listening too
nin10do
2025-01-19 14:05:20 +0000 UTCMaybe, maybe not. I think Quest is very worried about what some people in power would do if they found out that Sal has the ability to basically remove a person's power permanently if he so chooses.
Sam
2025-01-19 12:06:58 +0000 UTCroyalroad.com is the site and then you just check for stories or authors. Not all patreon authors use royal road
Sam
2025-01-19 12:03:23 +0000 UTCHe has access to it on research and he created an improved version of everything including both guns and visor. But because it was combined with a set from Fabi the essence programming is on hold as Fabi basically said he would be better crafter if he learnt the skill for himself. So sal signed up for the first course at quest academy.
nin10do
2025-01-18 18:30:15 +0000 UTCI’d have to go back and check professors name, but in a doom society meeting they were talking about kid that could clone himself and ethics of killing clones. So I suppose Sal placed Seth from that info.
Dawn Zeleznik
2025-01-18 16:18:04 +0000 UTCok i just didnt understand hahahaha im dumb haha
Nate
2025-01-17 22:15:21 +0000 UTCWhat is his address please do
Robert Crews
2025-01-17 21:58:32 +0000 UTCthe skill and essence multipliers are all divisible by 5 and hes maxed at essence calibration so 100% for each clone. but i think he meant 5 total 4 clones + main body
Frilas Gilneas
2025-01-17 20:58:54 +0000 UTCDon’t tknow if it’s 5 clones or 4 so theres 5 of them, bit his skill mastery value was 1/5, while his essence values were 5X.
Brian
2025-01-17 11:47:27 +0000 UTCHow was Sal able to deduce Seth was able to make up to five clones? I couldn't see anything in his analysis that gave him that info.
Nate
2025-01-17 05:46:55 +0000 UTCWhats that have to do with him hitting the wrong buttons. He grew up in an auction house cataloguing shit. I dont believe he would have such shit eye for detail that he’s constantly hitting buttons wrong.
joey sorrentino
2025-01-16 04:35:35 +0000 UTCFor me it’s less about her and more about Sal. He’s getting better but he still feels like a passenger instead of the driver. It’s good to see him actively decide to focus his first morning on the SA, while I hope he doesn’t turn into a melee fighter I do believe it is the key to unlocking his confidence. He has been fairly successful at demon slaying but it has all been reactive. Even his crafting has been reactive. Choosing to study the fighting manual is the first proactive thing Sal has done in a long time.
DasGoat622
2025-01-16 01:04:29 +0000 UTCThe actual pistol is gone but Sal knows the ability that Chatfield has so he can build the ability to conjure the pistol and the legendary Sniper Rifle into his armor. So hopefully we will see a return to guns for Sal. Martial Arts is fine and all but the guns especially if he adds the sniper rifle are just too versatile to pass up.
DasGoat622
2025-01-16 00:53:35 +0000 UTCI replied to you on gmail Sam . I should have posted my response here. Quest would not response to Sal's self-defense if he was attacked.
Ron Blondeau
2025-01-15 19:47:08 +0000 UTCThanks Brian!!! 💛
Sas Nicolls
2025-01-15 05:36:54 +0000 UTCHe has insufficient data for the Silverstone arts, so he is gonna do some solo training to add data for the visor to go over. It's just another type of crafting.
Charles Gillentine
2025-01-15 04:09:13 +0000 UTCSal hasn't figured out yet that these abilities are supposed to supplement his skill, and is still relying on them completely. They can only work with what he knows.
Charles Gillentine
2025-01-15 04:06:40 +0000 UTCI think a rifle that can also function as a staff would be awesome.
Charles Gillentine
2025-01-15 04:03:52 +0000 UTCThank you for the chapters! 💛
Michelle Ray
2025-01-15 02:57:54 +0000 UTCNo it has been recycled
Sam
2025-01-15 01:29:36 +0000 UTCLike patreon but free. The stories are usually a few weeks behind patreon
Sam
2025-01-15 01:28:58 +0000 UTCWhat is royal road?
Robert Crews
2025-01-14 21:30:43 +0000 UTCCan he get his pistol back?
Robert Crews
2025-01-14 21:27:29 +0000 UTCThe jacket as a swarm sent out to fight or protect do scavenger runs. Run the ark Wight and security in the work shop guild office all sounds cool
Robert Crews
2025-01-14 21:24:14 +0000 UTCThe voice actors are perfection on the Audible books.
Nate
2025-01-14 20:45:12 +0000 UTCThanks will try Audible then
Robert Crews
2025-01-14 20:10:01 +0000 UTCHe reminds me of the guy on Limitless who thinks he can outplay the MC and the MC is like, sorry man, I'm ten steps ahead of you. You're playing checkers while I'm playing 3d chess. Because Specter is trying to take down Sal to get into the best guild, not realizing Sal is about to disrupt just about every facet of their world and just one of those facets includes owning and running the best guild. Which means Spector is alienating the one person he should be befriending.
R. Maxwell Steele
2025-01-14 19:55:59 +0000 UTCGaruntee he’s on Erika’s team lol
Nate
2025-01-14 19:44:25 +0000 UTCYup books one and two are on Audible, book three comes out in 13 days
Nate
2025-01-14 19:43:16 +0000 UTCJust wondering if you did Audible books?
Robert Crews
2025-01-14 19:36:13 +0000 UTCI hope he doesn't. I like Sal being a crafter/ support. I would be a little sad if he starts becoming a regular front-line battle maniac.
C
2025-01-14 14:42:31 +0000 UTCYou have the right to be wrong.
C
2025-01-14 14:40:05 +0000 UTCIf he knotted someone during a spar, Quest would kill him.
Sam
2025-01-14 12:02:25 +0000 UTCThank you for the chappies! Friendly possible edits: Chapter 5: "Sorry, Fabi... but this is to for me today." this is to for me ==> this is it for me Chapter 7: Seth just nodded as opened his door as opened ==> as he opened
JJB4345_80_815
2025-01-14 11:46:59 +0000 UTCHope the Silverson Arts analysis doesn't just turn out to be a glorified progress bar. QA should have their own martial arts modules Sal can buy. With more data, I think Judgement can keep adapting and improving Silverson Arts for Sal. Create multiple styles of combat. For example, incorporating something like Gun Fu into the Silverson Arts. A dual pistol wielding style with great agility and deadly kicks.
Uncle Snoo
2025-01-14 10:14:18 +0000 UTCI think she is perfect for him. She both encourages him and keeps him grounded. I think the only thing that may of been a bit off putting for some is that they had an instant rapport there was no build up of their relationship, but it can happen especially when you have a seer practically guiding you to your perfect partner 😉. But it doesn't mean they won't have their struggles... sure it's coming
Daniel Crouch
2025-01-14 09:43:21 +0000 UTCI think the author is just pointing out that the perfect ability and visor can only work with what they're given and is showing that despite these abilities results can still be suboptimal
Daniel Crouch
2025-01-14 09:28:47 +0000 UTCGuessing Spectre is going to be one of those characters you love to hate. Just one of those people who ooze arrogance. Can't wait to see Sal knock him down a peg or two. Would love to see the clone ability worked into his drone arm, having one drone turn into a small squad of drones would be epic.
Daniel Crouch
2025-01-14 09:26:02 +0000 UTCI dont expect him to be perfect but him constantly making mistakes from just a lack of paying attention is getting old. How many times when building the Arkwright did he just accidentally press the wrong button. now hes working for hours with the complete wrong power weaves.
joey sorrentino
2025-01-14 08:33:13 +0000 UTCI hope the vibe shifts as the chapters go on, Maybe my opinion will change later but right now she doesn't quite fit.
Keven Leigh
2025-01-14 07:55:27 +0000 UTCTrue that too, I did like her guidance in chapter 5 about catching up with friends especially after crafting the entire break.
Nate
2025-01-14 07:51:23 +0000 UTCGlad to hear your break is going well, we all need a break sometimes. The selfish part of me will be happy once you are back to 5 chapters a week though. Just as I get back into the story I run out of new chapters lol.
Pickled Rick
2025-01-14 07:50:57 +0000 UTCSome of these colour combinations are getting out of hand. Some of the class/cohort combinations would look awful in the real world. Haha
Pickled Rick
2025-01-14 07:49:17 +0000 UTCYeah it's a weakness of a lot of novels that Authors don't use all the letter of the alphabet for names before repeating themselves. It's less of an issue when they are throwaway characters but this is not the last time we will see Spectre or Seth if there intros are anything to go by.
Pickled Rick
2025-01-14 07:47:02 +0000 UTCHe sounds like a hero but he is not a perfect personality. There is something to be said about how everyone's skill mirrors their personality and if his ability is adapt then he will constantly be pushing himself to increase and improve his adaptions which will have him butting heads with those he sees as having outclassed him.
Pickled Rick
2025-01-14 07:44:57 +0000 UTCIt might be the late addition as a character as well, she was teased a bit in the last books then suddenly she's here, paired with some distancing from his already established friends puts anything new squarely under a sour vibe.
Keven Leigh
2025-01-14 07:41:45 +0000 UTCHe is already very proficient with his skill weaver and crafting abilities but neither do him any good when fighting demons. If he wants to keep the No.1 spot he needs to be more well rounded not just a crafter especially when his crafting ability does not get him the same contribution to his rank as Chatfield's tests. Sal needs to gain a base fighting ability and then use skills and crafting to augment his ability not use crafting and skills to plug a deficiency.
Pickled Rick
2025-01-14 07:40:50 +0000 UTCI feel it’s because she all about crafting and dungeons and nothing but crafting and dungeons, and Sals trying to branch out and be forge an identity that’s not just crafting so there’s a bit of a disconnect with the pair.
Nate
2025-01-14 07:38:47 +0000 UTCIt's a couple hours bro. You can't craft while sparring.
Roberh Sedes
2025-01-14 07:21:34 +0000 UTCHey, I've seen that Sal mirrors yourself a bit: he's drinking when you're drinking, hangover when you're hangover, back "home" when you're back home, finished with a project (Jackal) when you're finished with a project (book 4). So if you're not feeling up to making the elixir machine, don't! But if the plot requires it you have all the tools. Plants grow with air, water, time and energy from a blueprint stored in a seed. Essence solves energy, Growth solves time, Rooted solves air and water, Sal has the seeds already, and Figment can make Essence follow a blueprint. That would be a cool twist for that plotline.
Roberh Sedes
2025-01-14 07:20:23 +0000 UTCStill don't like Fabi. Dont know what it is.
Keven Leigh
2025-01-14 07:17:21 +0000 UTCI like the chapters. I truly like that Sal is trying to overcome the glaring deficiencies he sees in himself. True he’s a crafter, but he needs to face the reality of the demons and know he can take care of himself.
Dawn Zeleznik
2025-01-14 06:53:10 +0000 UTCTypo chapter 5 “Sal had his arms crossed as *SHE* nodded quietly”.
Nate
2025-01-14 06:45:53 +0000 UTCI hope we get the full list at the first assembly back
Nate
2025-01-14 06:27:25 +0000 UTCTyftc. I don’t get it, Sal wants to be a crafter and lead a crafting guild but in these chapters he’s had a complete change of heart and wants to be known for his ability to fight instead? He can’t be assed to look at his upgraded simulation sphere or look at the essence programming Fabis done or chat up with friends? Nooo he’s straight to the sparring room to Perfect his silverston arts. I get he’s discovered he needs to get a better balance. But you don’t balance a boat by swinging as hard as you can from one side to the other.
Robert Smart
2025-01-14 06:00:37 +0000 UTCI wonder if any of them were teased during the Gala
Zeletavska
2025-01-14 06:00:12 +0000 UTCI hadn't realized that Seth was a first year. When Alistair talked about the boy with clones, I thought it was a second year. Took me by surprise and also reminded me that we missed half of the announced Saviors because Sal was on vacation.
Sam
2025-01-14 05:58:20 +0000 UTCHave to remember he’s still basically a kid and learning. Most people aren’t natural guild masters they become them over time. Also there are a lot of different leader types. Some see the bigger picture and find the best people to facilitate that direction. We still don’t know what Sals type will be, he’s still learning and evolving. But he has the main component already, the willingness to fight for something he deems a worthy cause and is actively working towards that goal. He’s already putting the steps and work in to achieve that, how many people see something and say I wished that would change, compared to the people who actually try to change it. Give him time, he’s still evolving and growing as a person and leader. Can’t have him perfect at everything or the story would be boring.
Nozzy
2025-01-14 05:44:59 +0000 UTCYou sneaky, Mom! There was no Upgrade in these chapters.
C
2025-01-14 04:58:59 +0000 UTCSal just is not guild master type of person. A guild master should be a person who stays on top of things and commicates well. Sal has let so many little things slide, and when he gets crafting he gets lost in his own little world. NO communication.
Dale Medford
2025-01-14 04:31:18 +0000 UTCI thought Sal was the top Saviour mainly because of his heroic actions. Mind you skills also factor in but… anyway I highly doubt Spectre is going to get anywhere. His skill is top notch but he doesn’t sound like a hero.🧐
LadyLark
2025-01-14 03:21:59 +0000 UTCThe Anime?
Nate
2025-01-14 02:57:42 +0000 UTCI think Naruto would like a word.
Zeletavska
2025-01-14 02:52:48 +0000 UTCSeth’s set up makes me question how he is rank 30 if his clones get weaker the more that are produced. Spectre gives me Raven vibes
Nate
2025-01-14 02:51:22 +0000 UTCA little feedback: I think Spectre's self exposition was a little too on the nose. If he's meant to be a recurring character in this trilogy, I think his intro fell a little flat. It gave off "NPC you're never seeing again" vibes IMO. Dude really said: "I'm the best Offence Class out of all the first years". "It's common knowledge I pick up techniques pretty fast". "You need to be the very best ... and that's what I'm aiming for." If he's planned to get as much screen time as Kane did, then I can understand, but I don't think that's the case.
Zeletavska
2025-01-14 02:44:25 +0000 UTCInteresting introduction to the new dorm and its occupants. Looks like Sal will have to have a go at Spectre sooner or later. Does Sal always have his "knotting" trump card handy?
Ron Blondeau
2025-01-14 02:27:41 +0000 UTCWell, atleast Sal remembered that *he* doesnt really want/need the *elixir* machine anymore. Maybe next time he’ll realize that Alex probably doesnt want the competition either, and just stick to the growth machine? Or better yet, just introduce Alex to the guy who thinks his growth talent is worthless and cut yourself out of an unwanted project altogether.
Brian
2025-01-14 02:27:24 +0000 UTCSeth, Sal, Spectre? What's with all the S's?
Rainer
2025-01-14 02:18:05 +0000 UTCOh wow I knew of three of them lol

2025-01-14 01:59:11 +0000 UTCPetro and Sophia
Zeletavska
2025-01-14 01:57:57 +0000 UTCLot of people are: Jez, Lars, Head, Chatfield, Cooper, Erika, Upgrade, Raven, Eric, Sinclair, Lombardi, Gallant, Alastair, and Nemesis have been confirmed. I might have missed some though. Mostly other authors, but also irl friends.

Marc Silvia
2025-01-14 01:22:24 +0000 UTCI wonder if the purple and silver bed is because of the silver cohort support or if they based it on the eye colour when using his two abilities? Only saying that because as soon as I read purple with silver trim I went with his eyes then read cohort support hahaha 😂
