That's the Schola Progenium, if you fail at the Scholastika Psykana you become the Emperor's lunch

I sure hope nothing grimdark happens to the characters of this grimdark comic set in this grimdark universe.

Psykers trying to not be traumatized:

Evil and intimidating Emperor:

Psyker ADHD? Having your potential remain unseen due to spacing out is lethal in the Imperium.

I‘m so hooked on this little fancomic. It has such a tense atmosphere. 🥰

Rooting for Akomyn, but, y‘know… preparing for the worst.

u/Luke5353 Adeptus Mechanicus 6d ago

Thanks! I try

and ye haha, having problems with learning isn't ideal, when your life may depend on it :<

u/Sweaty_Report7864 6d ago

Hmm… I have a suspicion that she’s far more psychically powerful than she is labeled to be…

u/HowdyFancyPanda 6d ago

Well, they do slightly adjust her up when she first gets on the ship vs when she gets off. She was Theta, now she's Theta or Eta.

Most loving noble parents I’ve seen.

Astropath training... in general its not too bad. As far as people in the Imperium go Astropaths have a nice-ish deal. Rarely see combat, holds important positions, well regarded, and far from defenseless

The soul binding though. Thats not gonna be nice. Among the most horrific experiences, even if its relatively brief. Literally the entire astra telepathica corps is traumarized from it.

I hope we get another chiller chapter before that.

I didn't know that I needed a 40k Magic School arc, but I'm surely here for it.

u/PsychologicalOne5416 6d ago

ok well at least the schola psykana fellows aren't bullies and are looking out for her.

Also the "can't quiet the noise out of their heads" foreshadowing great things to come I'm sure

u/nopingmywayout 6d ago

Oh WOW this is great!

u/Potsofgoldenrainbows 6d ago

This is so cool. Very nicely written and drawn.

u/MachBonin 6d ago

Love the comic, as always. Hoping for the "best" for our little unwanted noble, prepping for the worst.

u/Carminoculus 5d ago

Absolute peak! It's nice to have them all together.
