I was looking over my notes, word count, and all those good things earlier, and I think where the story is at HERE, would be a good place to say that ARC 2 is ending, and ARC 3 is beginning.

I'd named ARC 2: Exploring the School so it'd have a tentative title while I was working on it, but now it seems as if it'd be better being called ARC 2: Finding the Blade.

As i'd did when I finished up chapter 27 for Arc 1: Entering the New World, I want to take a little time to update my notes, go through and do a little editing and polishing of things, and basically tidy things up before proceeding forward with the next segment of the story. (Which I suppose will tentatively be called ARC 3: The Race, for now. )

If you know of any place with typos or errors which you think I should address, kindly point them out to me.

If you're looking for something to do in your downtime, while I go through the edit and note gathering phase for ARC 2, feel free to take a moment and hop over to main page to rate and review the work. Be honest: I'd rather have 0 star reviews that help me find places that I need to go back and clarify or work on, than just a click for a 5 star review rating simply because it's easier. (Not that I don't appreciate those 5 star ratings, mind you. They help give validation and let me know that there are some folks who like the style/pace/characters and whatnot. ;))

Of course, if you don't want to bother with clicking to the main page, feel free to post your concerns, feedback, questions, rants, and raves here as well.

As always, I appreciate all the feedback you guys offer -- both good and bad -- and I simply hope you're enjoying reading the work as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
