A small update on how affinities can atrophy. There was some confusion about why other students don't have the same problem when they're the same age but not learning magic yet.
Chapter 8: Starting, "And if they don't go well?"
Yaric's therapy sessions with Faruk Bell
Chapter 9: Starting, Faruk Bell was a rather portly dwarf
Chapter 10: Just a single paragraph. The entirety is below.
Once a week, Yaric would shower after his training session, grab a very large meal, then run off to meet with Healer Faruk Bell. In the beginning, their sessions together had continued much the same way as the first had, with Yaric spending a lot of time talking about his life before moving to the Academy, but soon Faruk shifted their conversations to Yaric's life inside the Academy. The healer seemed much more concerned about how Yaric was coping at the moment than he was about Yaric's past. He kept waiting for Faruk to start giving him feedback, but Yaric still found himself doing most of the talking during each session, though they were far more comfortable now. Yaric found that he liked the dwarven healer, and he was often the only person that Yaric spoke to during the day, outside of Hiawatha of course. It also gave him the opportunity to swing by the food hall on the way back, where he could still grab himself another helping. All the training he was doing turned him into a bottomless pit.
Chapter 14: Starting, Yaric knocked quietly, standing in the dark hallway
Chapter 15: Starting, "Yaric! How are we this evening?" Faruk asked
Chapter 19: Just a small mention regarding Hiawatha's experiences after bringing up Yaric's past. Starting, '"Instead of feeling sorry
Math and Science Lessons
Chapter 15: Starting, He ran to get to the classroom in time
Chapter 16: Just a quick mention, the entirety follows: Math classes followed, and left him almost as tired as the physical training had. His tutor was very pleased with his progress, however, and indicated that he was ahead of where she had expected him to be. Her happiness with his progress often allowed him to leave a little early, and that left the rest of evening to play games in the common room. There were a lot of games he had never seen before, but it was always fun.
Chapter 18: Starting, Even his classes had moved forward
Chapter 27: Starting, I hope all of you have been studying This is an edit to fix the messy patch I'd previously inserted.
A small mention about Yaric's rewards for his Tournament finish. Chapter 20.
Some clarity on Li Na's joke about Yaric's affinities - 2 vs 4.
Several miscellaneous changes for minor issues.
The images I promised are below. These are images things that have already happened or that don't contain any spoilers, but they're far from all of them. I have a lot of images. These are also only character images.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Sorry, the map is going to take a lot more work to take it from a reference that I use to something that can be posted. I'm working on making an entirely new one that simply shows national borders and the most important cities and land marks, so it's easier to follow the things that happen in foreign powers.
I've literally worked on almost nothing else for 2 days now, and it's far from finished. I can't keep putting the rest of this off for the map, so these are going up first and I'll go back to it afterward. Sorry, it's just putting everything else way off schedule. I will get it done asap though!
Thanks again for all of the support! Here are those images.

And that's it. Sorry once again for the delay, I should have called it quits on that map yesterday. Let me know if I've missed anything in the update and I'll make the edit.
These will all be deleted in the near future, as I have far better images available. They're also images I didn't mess up by playing around with filters that I don't know how to use.
