The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 71
Chapter 71Verne and Norde were both sitting cross-legged on an empty bed near Nedira once Larek arrived, talking in low voices that not even he could clearly make out with his high Listening Skill. They looked up when he entered the room and both seemed excited to see him; they were less excited to ...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 70
Chapter 70Larek immediately shook his head in disbelief. “What? No. I didn’t do anything to them.”“As Shinpai mentioned, you did it unconsciously,” the Dean explained. “And it’s not exactly the same thing as what the Great Ones use on those they control. Whereas their Dominion magic ha...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 69 (nice)
Chapter 69As much as Larek wanted to visit and stay near Nedira while she was in her coma, waiting for her to wake up, other obligations took that option away from him. Thankfully, soon after the final match concluded, he was able to speak with Verne and Norde who raced down to the arena to see him ...

The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 68
Chapter 68An anger he’d only felt once before back at Crystalview Academy descended upon his mind, but unlike when he lost control during the Scission attack, a state of hyper-focus accompanied the rage. In the space of a breath, he immediately dumped 11 Advancement Points each into Strength, Body...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 67
Chapter 67“Where did they go? Were those illusions?”Larek heard the other teams questioning where Team Fusion had just disappeared to, searching around the area with their weapons and spells to find them; Larek could only assume that they thought they had used something like Light Bending to cam...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 66

The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 65
Chapter 65When they arrived back at the arena and took their seats in the Skirmish participant section, the looks they received from the other competitors was a mixture of shock, disbelief, and anger. Larek simply shrugged it off, knowing that there was nothing he could do about the feelings of the ...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 64
Chapter 64“Larek, would you mind doing me a favor?” Dean Lorraine asked him.The Logger-turned-Fusionist glanced around the room, seeing the confused looks on just about everyone’s faces – all but Shinpai, however. Instead, a hint of a smirk that had been threatening to break out was visible ...
The Fusionist Book 2 -- Chapter 63
Chapter 63The crowd went silent again as the Penelope and Bartholomew reached the other team’s fortification.
