Seems like he gets accosted by unpleasant individuals every other chapter these days. > > I'm curious what Nic will do about this new character. On one hand, having a subordinate with powerful magics at his disposal could be useful, especially if this person is sneaky enough to skirt around secret service agents. On the other hand, demons. > > If Nic goes to the Archmage or Delcroix for help they may decide the tether needs to be cut, or that Nic himself is a flight risk. Keeping quiet about it could be a temporary solution, but I'm sure the others would find out eventually, and he certainly can't sit on his hands waiting for the Lady of Shadows to appear. An interesting predicament. > **u/sitsthewind** [+3] (a day later) > > I enjoyed this chapter - I liked the transition from Nic focusing on book learning to Nic applying that knowledge to people (analysing his classmates). It's a nice bit of character growth. > **u/TwoxMachina** [+2] (17 hours later) > > Time to practice Arcanum ---
