I like this. It's a bit strange, and there are some things with the grammar and the way you write that bugged me at first, but it's very good. I look forward to more. =)

Haha...this chapter made me smile.

"Even Rai could admit when she was beaten, though not out loud, and while she kicked London's ** in many things such as skill, looks, and creativity, the Brit was clearly the bigger **."

XD

And shape-shifting to Gruenwald...brilliant.

The beginning does start out very well. Though TFRHWDTSAH is rather long, don't you think? About the classes...exactly which ones do they take? That could do with a little more discussion. Mirko and Brietta are getting along surprisingly well. Well, maybe not surprisingly. He does sort of get along with Rai, too. :)

I love typically - violent anime/manga - type characters! Hehehe. Xander's kennings for his students as well. May you not develop writers block! :D

Too lazy to sign in...wow, an update! Xander and the Mirko/Little Girl Cousin, um...innuendo were hilarious. And the nicknames...reminded me of my English teacher, almost...

"He en't sayin' anything, Raiya."
"Not verbally. But his face won't keep quiet."

Brilliant. Made my day.

Update, ahem, soon.

Yay, an update! It made me happy.=)
Good chapter, though not your best I think. It was interesitng, the fist lesson, and I liked it. Well done!
And people have died? Wow, you wouldn't think I'd miss that, would you? Oh well, I'll go back and see if I can find it, or maybe you haven;t written it but it happened and you'll just tell us later or something. Anywho, smiles for you!

LOL. I love Rai. And the other characters, of course. They are all quite interesting. Are you going to put them all on the same team? Also, I realise Inactive clanspeople are of little importance, battlewise, but it would be quite interesting if some became so proficient in martial arts as to eradicate their "handicaps". Looking forward to more chapters of irritable characters allowed to express their fury. :)

Oh, thank you very much for updating! I really like it, it's getting really good. Meal times are always such fun, are they not, at Perimo? I think it's quite foolish, actually, to put all of those different families together, when all of those strong gifts will certainly clash and do damage. I'm actually surprised that no-one has died yet!
Keep up the good work! I await the next chapter in earnest!
~Danielle=)

Just plain awesome and cool. Keep it up ^^

What can I say? Just searching for another way to say I love it. Angry Rai...definitely amusing...don't tell her I said that... *cough* And Fredrick! I'm curious. And of course, it's nice to have an archenemy already. Write more!

Very well done.=) I love all of the dissagreements, and all of the probelms. Sorry, I know I shouldn't be happy because almost all of your character's lives are miserable, but it makes an excellent story. I rate this chapter =)=)=)=)=)/5 on the Smile Meter.=) And an extra, because you're cool.

What about the girl with the Suggestion? Is she going to come back? I hope so, she seemed interesting. I love your story, really! Keep writing!=)

~danielle, AWAY!

*happy dance* Angry Rai... XD Great bit about Pierre...made me laugh. And meeting the family...heh. And you used the word! Gruenwald is pretty great, too. Write more!

I love it! It's hallarious, meeting Rai's family. Why was Gretta there if she didn't have the Dawson Strength, though? Is Rai the only Dawson girl that inherited the gift? How bizarre. Anywho, I liked the London's they seemed interesting, but I didn't see the girl with the Persuasion that came up last chapter in there. She seemed interesting too. I love how diverse they all are, I can' wait to see the next chapter!

Was Eavan on a sugar high, too? lol, that might ,make her much more tolerable. so, interesting gifts. And wonderful chapter, as usual. So when is Rai going to meet other Dawsons? I eagerly anticipate that.

I loved it. I can't wait to read the next chapter. It WILL be very interesting to see what happens with all of those completley different gifts clashing together. The only thing I'm not quite sure of is Mirko's gift. The smithing. It doesn't seem like the most useful of gifts, unless he can kind of smith stuff out of thin air. That would be pretty cool. I can't wait to read more about Lilia! Keep writing, it's great!
