Oi! Late doesn't even begin to start to describe this. It's been 8 months since I've posted on this. I've been on a hiatus from just about anything related to the internet that required my presence. Most of that doing was because in the beginning of the year I was working overtime and that cut into everything. After that it became difficult to return and I got redirected towards something else, then more overtime happened recently. I've worked about 5 months of overtime in the last 8-10 months, approximately (which equals between 50-70 hours on the average per week).

Anyway, I should be back now that the craziness has died down again. The funny thing is that I finished this chapter back in May I think, but was unable to post it because I did not have the focus back. And I actually had half of it written before I went on hiatus and I ended up getting stuck writing some of Yumi's scenes. So after getting stuck I just lost track of things. It took a lot of effort to get back into it. But Chapter 115 is up now at least.

However, the up side is that I was not actually wasting all of the spare time. While I can't really post the content, since it all spoiler-ific for the story, but I completed full backgrounds and profiles for nearly 80 characters that either show up in the story or will show up at some point. That in and of itself was a ton of work as you can imagine. But now I have detailed histories of enemies, side characters and even parents of the all of the main characters. I know how all of their parents met and how they are connected to others, if so. I could probably cut down the content and post it, but that's 80 characters. It is a lot of extra info that will eventually come out in the story.

Back to Yumi though, I got to start providing some explanation and development to the way she was acting in past times. It ends up still being mysterious, but it is finally a little piece of an answer. Because before the way she acted was totally within bounds of how Shounen characters act, but there was more going on. This chapter gets to explore that a little more.

The fights with the MP users have made it so that I have think more about the powers and how to deal with them. Because of how Yumi's powers have previously presented themselves, it is easily countered by the more experienced MP users. So I got to explore a little more into how the powers work. It gave me a chance to give Yumi a really cool moment.

This is the conclusion of Yumi's fight, but there are still more fights.

Enjoy!
