Joel reads a book about the history of Rithmatics. He is confused by a mention about a pocket watch saving [[Gregory III|King Gregory III]], the founder of Rithmatics, from an attack by [[Chalkling#Wild Chalklings|wild chalklings]].
Joel reads a chapter about how circles are important in Rithmatics and how man-made discoveries were important in the discovery of Rithmatics. Joel finds something about how King Gregory III found out about Rithmatics with the pocket watch he had, and it saved him from being eaten by the wild chalklings. Melody wanted Joel to come out of the workshop and talk to her. She talks about how a mob of men attacked a couple of Rithmatists for drawing chalklings. She also left to make office deliveries, and told Joel about her being in the Melee. She eventually got the book Joel wanted from Nalizar. Melody didn't want to compete in the Melee. She began to mention about how her parents wouldn't want her to visit over the summer, and how her brother, William Muns, died at Nebrask. Joel figured out Nalizar wasn't as bad as he suspected him to be. Joel then gets a letter from Father Stewart about how he gets another chance at becoming a Rithmatist.
 
Melody tells Joel about an incident where a mob tried to attack a pair of Rithmatist students, who scared off them off using chalklings, an action which would increase tensions. As Professor Fitch's only student, she is being forced to participate in the upcoming [[Melee]], where she is sure she will be humiliated, which will be made worse because her parents will be in attendance. She mentions that her brother, [[William Muns]], died in Nebrask, and defends Professor Nalizar, revealing that he attempted to save her brother. Joel decides that his suspicions of Nalizar must be misplaced.
 
=== Chapter 21 ===
Diagram about Anchoring Defensive Circles with Lines of Forbiddance.
 
The night before his inception, Joel is again stricken with insomnia. He can't stop thinking about his potential future as a Rithmatist. He reads a first hand account of a settler whose family was attacked by wild chalklings. He hears a sound outside his window and, upon investigation, discovers the mysterious symbol. He is under attack by the Scribbler!
Joel couldn't sleep again. He thought about his inception, and about him having to go to Nebrask if he did become a Rithmatist. He went to read a book to help him fall asleep. He finds a diary about a person who survived wild chalklings attacking their homes and eating everyone. Joel heard a sound outside his window. When he went to check if it was a vandal, he found the symbol outside his wall. Joel tried to call for help, but no sound came out of his mouth. He couldn't defend himself, so he tried to escape the swarm of chalklings. He successfully dodges all of the Scribbler's traps and the chalkings. He found out the chalking stayed away from the gears in his coin. He tried to call for help again, and Exton heard him calling. Joel discovers Exton is a Rithmatist, and he went to find patrols to spray the chalklings with acid while Exton boxed himself in the office. Joel successfully survived and destroyed all the chalklings before it got to Exton. He also found out one of the symbols silences out sound.
 
He tries to call for help, but can't, as the mysterious symbol (a [[Rithmatics#Line of Silencing|Line of Silencing]]) is stealing the sound. Unable to defend himself, he tries to run, but finds himself boxed in by Lines of Forbiddance. He determines that the wild chalklings are deterred by the clockwork inside the coin that Melody gave him. He is able to escape to Exton's quarters, who uses his (poor) Rithmatic abilities to ward off the chalklings. Trapped again, Joel manages to escape and run for help from the police and Investigator Harding. The police are able to defeat the remaining wild chalklings and save Exton. Harding tells Joel he is confident he knows who the kidnapper is.

The next morning, Inspector Harding arrests Exton. He claims to have proof that Exton was behind the kidnappings and attack on Joel. Joel believes Exton is innocent and Melody agrees.
Harding arrested Exton. They said he made all of the chalkings and have proof for it. Joel didn't believe them and still believes Exton is innocent. Joel tries to get Exton out of trial. Melody gets mad for Joel not "inviting her when he was getting chased by the chalklings". Melody also thinks Exton is innocent. Joel went to get incepted. As Joel was in the chamber, he doubted if there even was a Master, and if the person from the diary escaped out of luck. He decided to ask the Master to make him into a Rithmatist. Joel turns around to find a chalkling standing. He touches it, and it falls and runs into the altar. Joel didn't become a Rithmatist.
 
Later, Joel goes to the inception ceremony. In the chamber of inception, he asks the [[Church of the Monarch|Master]] to make him a Rithmatist. A [[Shadowblaze|strange chalkling]] appears behind him, not attached to any surface. Upon being touched by Joel, the creature falls down and flees. Joel does not become a Rithmatist.
 
=== Chapter 23 ===

After the ceremony, Joel wants to be alone, and heads to his father's workshop. He reads some articles on the desk and discovers a drawing of the same strange being he encountered in the chamber of inception.
Joel went to his father's desk to feel bad about himself for failing his father's wish of Joel becoming a Rithmatist. Joel went to read the articles on the desk. He found the chalk drawing he saw in the chambers in the article. He found Melody outside his room. She sneaked pass the guard to get to Joel's room. Joel and Melody went to go to tell Fitch about Professor Nalizar being the one behind everything, but Fitch ignored them. When they went back, they found two figures unconscious on the ground. Joel tells Melody to find help while he went into the building to save anyone in the building from the Scribbler. When Joel went inside, he accidentally splashed Nalizar with the bucket of acid. He traps Joel in a box made of Line of Forbiddance for splashing Joel. Then, a swarm of chalklings attacked Nalizar and Joel. Inspector Harding was the Scribbler. Joel tries to escape after the Scribbler uses another mysterious symbol to make Nalizar unconscious from the force. He found Melody's unicorns help Joel escape the box he was trapped in, and they both get trapped in a room. Professor Fitch came to save them both from Harding.
 
Melody sneaks out of her dorm to be with Joel. They go to Professor Fitch to relay their concerns about Professor Nalizar but are rebuffed. Upon their return, they find the guards unconscious. Melody goes to get help while Joel enters the building to fight the Scribbler. He accidentally throws a bucket of acid on Nalizar, who traps him in a box of Lines of Forbiddance in retaliation. The Scribbler, revealed to be Inspector Harding, attacks! Nalizar declares that he followed the creature all the way from Nebrask and begins to fight; however, he is knocked unconscious by a [[Rithmatics#Line of Revocation|Line of Revocation]] (the second mysterious symbol) from the Scribbler. Melody frees Joel from the box and they try to escape, but are cornered by the Scribbler. Fitch arrives to save them.

Diagram of the Advanced Easton Defensedefense
 
Exton is freed and Joel, Melody, Professor Fitch and Professor Nalizar are lauded as heroes.
 
Prior to the start of the Melee, Joel confronts Nalizar. Nalizar reveals that he too is a Forgotten, but convinces Joel that nobody would believe him if he told anyone. Joel realizes that Nalizar likely is counting on his handpicked team winning the Melee and gaining important positions at Nebrask, and then disrupt the defenses in some way. Trying to disrupt this plan, he convinces Exton to allow him to enter the Melee alongside Melody. They work together as a team, inside the same [[Line of Warding]]: Joel uses his proficiency with line-drawing to draw their defenses, which Melody traces and activates. Joel's precise line-drawing and strategy, combined with Melody's skill with chalklings, allow them to defeat their competitors, including Nalizar's twelve person team, and win the Melee.
Principal York apologizes to Professor Nalizar and Exton. They had a Melee that day, and Melody had to compete in it. She told Joel why she didn't want to compete in the Melee. Professor Nalizar shows his true self, a Forgotten. Joel couldn't do anything about it after declaring Nalizar was innocent in front of everyone. He eventually leaves Joel. He went to Exton to ask if he can be in the Melee, so Nalizar can't make his students do something terrible in Nebrask that will release all of the chalklings. Exton allows Joel, and he helps Melody trace over his lines. The Professors watch the two battle, and are intrigued by it. Joel used the Line of Revocation against an opponent that didn't anchor their circle. Melody and Joel won the Melee, and Joel and Nalizar began to watch each other. Joel vowed to stop Nalizar no matter how many times it'll take him.
