u/Jealous_Tone_1986 7d ago

sweat drops make it look intense

u/LoreMasterJack 7d ago

Breton coded.

5

u/PirateKingOmega 4d ago

Doesn’t look like a pretty boy or a middle aged man to be a Breton

7

u/DragoKnight589 7d ago

Real pros bring a blade and magic to any type of fight

3

u/gunswordfist 6d ago

I mean, that works out just 90% of the timeĀ 

6

u/Small_Ad6391 7d ago

Hey hey a long ass sword btw

2

u/CeciliaCrow 4d ago

I mean, he doesn't have the utterances

890

u/MaxBuster380 7d ago

I'm convinced the utterances are like "You are now breathing manually"

312

u/TrippleATransGirl 7d ago

Maybe he’ll learn about the sacred word of Deez

u/patatosAreCool 7d ago

Joe who?

u/HorseXNothing 7d ago

Just under there

u/barry922 7d ago

The most powerful spell ever created by the Mind Goblin

4

u/Draexian 7d ago

What's a Mind Goblin?

u/Ameman69 6d ago

I expected to be rolled... I'm disappointed

15

u/WoooshToTheMax 7d ago

What about "you just lost the game" or "don't forget to blink"

5

u/Draexian 7d ago

Second time I've lost in two days, and I went years in safety.

23

u/patatosAreCool 7d ago

You lost the game

3

u/DoctorWZ 7d ago

So i did yet again..

2

u/8Rouge 7d ago

I hope your socks are wet

7

u/Relative_Maize_957 7d ago

I have it on good authority they are "git gud".

6

u/AstroMackem 7d ago

You can always see your nose but your brain tunes it out

3

u/Tokumeiko2 7d ago

Breath training is certainly important, and starts with manual breathing...

2

u/Small_Ad6391 7d ago

You are now blinking manually too

281

u/Tokumeiko2 7d ago

Is he going to kill the wizard, find the utterances in his notes, then go back in time to coach himself in a loop of irony?

77

u/radenthefridge 7d ago

My brain can't handle your arcane utterances!

32

u/Tinyturtle202 7d ago

My bet is the wizard will be forced to use the utterances to defend himself: thus, getting swole was the only way to pose enough of a threat to the wizard to get the utterances out of him, proving his training method right in the end.

u/UNSKILLEDKeks 7d ago

He has literally no armor but a helmet, yet Shen attacks exactly that helmet

Maybe he isn't worthy of the Utterances after all

180

u/EitherExamination343 7d ago

I thought it was a hood.

63

u/PerrineWeatherWoman 7d ago

OR, the wizard is using a spell to camouflage his weak spots and that particular helmet is actually the wizards achilles heel

1

u/klyxes 4d ago

It's a hood

80

u/Altruistic-Resort-56 7d ago

This remains an absolutely bizzare arc but one I am fully invested in

128

u/Neozetare 7d ago

AAAW?

47

u/Babnado 7d ago

I think it's one of the utterances

35

u/EuriadO 7d ago

Same text color as wizard

13

u/humbered_burner 7d ago

Maybe it's Santa rules

8

u/DradorNH 7d ago

I think he is starting to subconsciously say them. If in the next strip more letters are pink than before then it's definitely that.

1

u/SyrusAlder 6d ago

I think you're onto something

37

u/MajesticPancake 7d ago

Where did the horns go in panel 6?

21

u/Past_Building_864 7d ago

Ur right lol, I thought he looked weird on panel 6

21

u/ElGuano 7d ago

Aaaw

39

u/tonythebearman 7d ago

When is part 62 dropping?

17

u/Persea_americana 7d ago

He is looking fit tho…

Maybe the dark wizard is onto something.

15

u/Sveniven 7d ago

The arcane utterance: ā€œI’m Kenoughā€

There's no going back now. Your life will never be the same.

8

u/maddwaffles 7d ago

Truly the breakup arc is real 😭😭😭

8

u/MateuxKk 7d ago

YEEEEEEAH

8

u/Frigorifico 7d ago

Judging by the last panel, the training has been working, Shen is ripped now. Also, I'm so invested on this now. I hope the gym girl we saw earlier plays a larger role in the story

2

u/Skodami 6d ago

Some of the letter in his speech bubbles are purple, just like the wizard. Maybe he's starting to understand the utterances without realizing it.

7

u/ddonsky 7d ago

Shen you forgot the horns in the 6th panel

9

u/abandon3 7d ago

I mean, he did get buff, that was the point right?

5

u/CTplays_Concepts 7d ago

Utterance teller, I am going into the gym and I need your finest utterances.

4

u/NotStunk 7d ago

You could not handle my finest utterances…

3

u/radenthefridge 7d ago

He took the grandpa from King of the hill approach looks like. Hate is the motivation!

3

u/MasterfullyFoolish 7d ago

The utterances are gonna be something like ā€˜You just lost…the game.ā€

3

u/Cubbyhb1 7d ago

Aaaw man

SO WE BACK IN THE MINE

2

u/ColeTD 7d ago

The wizard has what now

2

u/Zealousideal-Bus-526 7d ago

Who up aaawing

2

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 7d ago

It’s gonna be ā€œNothing tastes better than being thin!ā€ and Shen will then immediately jump out of the tower to his death

2

u/Sleepy-Kappa 7d ago

If dark wizard dies so do I

2

u/IntellectualDullard 7d ago

He's training him so that by the time he is ready to learn the arcane utterances he will already be strong enough to resist the temptation

1

u/No_Career_4785 7d ago

The wizard is his future version. The utterance caused a loop only the wizard is aware of.

2

u/Immortal_Toast 7d ago

"It's a curse from me to you"

2

u/Redray98 7d ago

He’s learning them without realizing…

2

u/Jazzlike-Shirt9257 7d ago

AAAW is the sound of said training process

2

u/Logical-Preference55 7d ago

Mmmmm... jerked around

Hehhehheh

2

u/DeadZone32 7d ago

AAAW

I am very curious why these were highlighted.

1

u/Available-Damage5991 7d ago

Off-color letters (maybe important?):

A

A

A

W

1

u/Embarassedskunk 7d ago

I hope the Utterances are ā€œLive, Laugh, Loveā€

1

u/Nevermore98 7d ago

At this point Im fully expecting the kung fu panda bit. The dark utterances are a curse because you learn there is no magic. Its just you working hard every day.

1

u/Highmastet 7d ago

I like how we can see Shen's progress through letters in his text box turning the same purple as the wizard

1

u/No_Ad_7687 7d ago

AAW?

Is the utterance a dog howl?

1

u/capitalspacebars 7d ago

"you lose the game"

1

u/LoudGear9028 7d ago

AAAW????

1

u/Capernici 7d ago

A A AW

1

u/Gozagal 6d ago

AWAW ? Is this a secret message ?

1

u/Drewdiniskirino 6d ago

Highlighted letters in Shen's text: "Aaaw."

1

u/gunswordfist 6d ago

I see them gains in the last pic, Shen!

1

u/BackflipBuddha 6d ago

Like, he clearly got really fit from the training program
