I dont....get what happened there.

Sha's recognizing people with prodigious talent as combat mages and is suddenly extremely dubious about her chances.

Its like seeing Wayne Gretzky at a hockey tournament holding a uniform and experiencing existential dread.

Poor guy just kept getting pushed around by a very worried owl lol.

Two very Powerful Characters, huh? That explains why Sha looked like she was about to have a heart attack there. Lol! ^^;

There more than one person in the world who can make Dangerowl worried?!? This tournament just got a lot more exciting despite they are just sponsor.

So... thats their worlds equivalent of going to a tournament and seeing Son Goku and Vegeta at the check in?

Pretty much!

I would love to find out what this makes Fen, hah. Tien? Yamcha? Mr. Satan?

Yamcha sounds about right for her right now.

Big oof.

Holy... thats a biiig power gab then...

I mean, during the time in which Yamcha was at all relevant, the gap was a bit less :p

Well.. I mean at least she's above Farmer with a Shotgun level!

Only to find out that they're registering their sons to compete.

At first you're like: oh, thank god, we don't have to fight them.

Then you're like: oh gods, we gotta fight their KIDS!?

Ah yes, just their kids.... Who are both stronger than they are at various points, but Gohan at all points.

Wait until they meet Fen. :3

Sponsor!

I'd say the guy could do with a sheet of thick glass on ever side of his booth to separate himself from the patrons, but I can imagine Sha would just punch through it.

My ignorance is showing what does LOD mean?

Level of Detail.

essentially she went low poly in panel 3, this has nothing to do with the story, just fer being a silly gamer nerd, we love silly gamer nerd references
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_detail_(computer_graphics)

Object and sometimes character models in games often have several versions at various levels of detail (aka LODs). Because more detailed models use more computer resources to render, and those details are less noticeable at a distance, games will typically swap or transition between various LOD models/textures to balance detail, letting you see things in the distance, and performance. This also means you can have higher detail models & textures because the game only needs to load them when you're near them, and can still see all those things far away because the game only needs to load simplified models and textures for them. If you've ever seen a model change appearance as you approached or withdrew from it, that's probably the game switching LOD models; sometimes it's subtle, other times it's a sudden pop in transition.

Ten million years ago many games (ex Morrowind) used fog to limit your view distance instead, or had objects visibly pop in and out of existence based on your distance from them.

Spazzing owl, hah!

Panel 1 is the most beautiful picture of Branhield that I've seen (probably because she is smiling, ...and not on fire). [...yes Brannie, you are still gorgeous when you're on fire]

Did Branhield win the tournament as an individual or part of a team? or both?

Branhield never did the tournament, she's got nothing to prove :p

Wow! She is that famous/infamous. ...or Sha just knows everybody ;)

Most people throughout the world know of Branhield's legend. She nuked an entire island when she was five years old, and the place is still on fire.

whistles

That sort of thing can really depress real estate values.

Spokesperson for Kingsford charcoal?

That would be Henry Ford. ;)

Free power, just set up a boiler and steam engine/turbine/etc.

Or sell marshmallows.

wait. so what did the OTHER ONE do to get the same kind of reaction??

Legend says that Prydr has singlehandedly beaten a whole army in a battle

Legend ignores the fact that individuals in said army were shorter than Vix, buut the message is sent across

To start with? Held the pass from an invading army to the kingdom of Polaris, by herself. Beyond that, she's the leader of a legendary mercenary group, and is herself the most legendary person in the world. When we call the series "Legends of Farelliar", she's the torchbearer of the title.. We'll learn more later.

NEAT. looking forward to the backstory reveal :D

WORLDBUILDING~~~

Damn! Even Prydr is here?!
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Nyonixan showed up. xD

<,< >,> Mayyybe

HOLD UP-

fond memories of the white wall.... painful memories but fond nonetheless <3

Lol, how is your "power cell" doing these days?

heh the power cell in question has been moved to a less.... critical location =p

i love seeing sophisticated characters potentially fan girl / fan boy over someone~

IT'S THE WHITE WALL~! 8///D

Love this. Lol.

Hey it's my girl Prydr, still looking good...too bad we won't be seeing her in action.

"so she's not competing... good... good... because if you were lying to me..."

So where does dear old dad stand on that power chart?

He was probably used as a point of reference when they made the chart. 😜

Used to be the top dog, now not so much anymore. :p We'll get back around to him soon enough.

Yay!

🩶🖤🩶

Y'know she's cute when she gets like that, didn't think that was what would pop up lol

Now I'm curious how Fen compares. If those two are the top two in there world, where does Fen come in at?

Nowhere near the top at the moment :p

... oh boy o:

Yeah Fen has raw power but lacks experience and knowledge. Fen has a ways to go.

They're the headliners of this show
and Fen's just a kid and she needs to grow because
joy and pain
sunshine and rain

While Sha is relieved those two are just sponsors, I feel she still should be wary of whoever is on their teams

god i love this. the two most powerful characters in the world and they are sponsors. But I love that Sha got spook so hard. Also Prydr look so good in that outfit! 10 out of 10

I wonder if they know Sha as well as Sha knows about them?

Sha is a worldwide phenomenon, of course they'd know her. On top of general knowledge, Sha also frequents the Iron Gates, where Branhield lives and is captain of the guard, and Prydr runs a mercenary group, while Sha has a lot of money and need of mercs, so y'know, probably quite familiar with each other :p

prydr?

Prydr.

Prydr.

My memory's blanking on Branhield and Prydr, beyond the former's role in an uneventful package delivery, but others in the comments know them.

Do I need to reread the comic or are they from some supplementary material/patreon exclusives?

I think the fire lady appeared once in a "here is how magic works" page and hasn't really entered the narrative in any way before now.

Prydr has been in a few supplemental images but none have been Patreon exclusives or anything like that. Just once off images.

Fer, thank you for this. I had missed a few.
I wonder if Branhield is still a power bottom?

Thanks!

Prydr has been touted as, like, the White Wall or something, right? So... she has a reputation. As, apparently, the other fire mage.

We can't take her anywhere...

LOL she's just panicking over there seeing these potential contestants.

Is she headhunting or something? Not gonna lie she does have an good eye........but then again she is an owl and she does know how to hunt XD. Gotta admit fen, you are now just second rate at this point XD

Sha look like she want to bed them.

It's always amusing and concerning when we can clearly see Sha's eye color. :D

I think I just heard her "Hoot?" When she saw the second person.

Well, at least if the Great Vitrin Munch happens now, Fen has very powerful backup.

I can't help but picture Branhield as being similar to Roy Mustang in Full Metal Alchemist. Attitude and everything. :P

But what a show it would be! Id stay just to see how long I could last. At that point its bragging rights that you went up against either of them at all.

Can't blame her. Seeing what is likely the most powerful Solarin mage currently alive signing to a tournament followed by definitely the biggest dire wolf currently alive who's skill in a fight by all indications exceeds her size. Yeah, I'd contemplate withdrawing on the spot as well XD

Fenavi has a long way to go it seems.

I get the feeling Prydr and Branhield have a Goku and Vegeta kinda dynamic/relationship.

You owl SHOCK

I kill the fight!
