Added a New Scene to WoK Chapter 25, Plus a New Aeonica Novella
Added 2023-02-04 19:06:26 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I wrote a new scene (500 words / 2 pages) and added it to the very beginning of Web of Knowledge - Chapter 25: Ethics of Combat.
This idea came to me from a comment on Royal Road. Someone mentioned being excited to see Akari go back to her Theoretical Aspects class and show off her new aspect to the teacher (the one who said it would never work.) Obviously, I hadn't written this scene at the time, but I thought, "Hey, why not go back and add it in?"
If this interests you, you can go back and read it here:

If it doesn't, then it's completely skippable with no effect on the main plot. Just didn't want anyone to feel like I was slipping it past them.
In other news, I just released a new, 60 page novella for my Aeonica series on Kindle (it takes place between Books 2 and 3) For audio readers, this novella will be included for free in the audio version of The Justicar's Heir when it releases later this year:

Anyway, I should have another real chapter of WoK done either tomorrow or Monday!

Yeah, I probably won’t use that trope as much as some other stories do in their tournament arcs. I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around the idea of people dueling at an elite level, and also holding back their best techniques for later. Especially in a world with with the internet, and every fight being recorded. Even Akari didn’t really hold back for her Apprentice reveal—it just took Kalden a minute to notice. And she’ll have weeks of fighting in Raizen’s class for the secret to get out anyway. I mean, yeah, Akari and Kalden will definitely invent new techniques later and surprise some unsuspecting people, but they probably won’t sit on them for weeks.

Now when she encounters people in the competition they will be able to take this into account when planning how to kill her.
