A month later, he's got that flight spell working just fine, but he also lures Chrono into engaging him in enclosed areas where his vastly superior melee skills are of the greatest use.

When I read this, the first thing that came to my mind was 'Superior tactics? Against Chrono?'

I know you have somewhat of a... low respect for most of the male members of the cast, but during A's Chrono is the biggest tactical mind our heroes have, barring Lindy. That said, simply luring him into a field of advantage should not make Chrono get beaten within an inch of his life. As smart as he is, he would realize his disadvantage in melee and simply retreat. Remember: Chrono was able to defeat Fate, a melee specialist. And by the looks of it without excessive trouble too. Even though that was prior to Bardiche's upgrade, it shows that Chrono is no slouch when it comes to melee combat.

That's why I asked.

They get assigned (or select on their own) a case relating to JS, and they follow it through to the conclusion, crossing blades with Zest, Lutecia, the Numbers, and hoards and hoards of gadgets, but at no point will you see them dedicating multiple chapters to training a bunch of green recruits or dealing with Regius's political bullshit. That last one in particular is getting completely axed. The Forwards may appear in some other context, i.e. Subaru and Teana show up as a couple of GF mages working on a crime scene, but don't expect Erio and Caro to get more than a passing mention from Fate.

Heh. You might want to rephrase the License to Kill part. You make it sound as if the cast is going to butcher and blow up anything in their path.

Though its strange... you say you're going to axe Regius and his doings, yet you also say you're going to prominently feature Zest and Lutecia, even though these two hold very strong connections to Regius and his doings, particularely Zest.
