Chapter 353 Hey
?Atticus practically had no luggage; everything he owned was kept in his space ring, so he didn't need to pack anything.
He walked past the grand gate of the mansion and made his way into the mansion.
Luckily, he hadn't met anyone on the way. Atticus entered the room he had chosen earlier, the room beside Aurora's.
Aurora had chosen the biggest room, not that Atticus minded. His was still very spacious and filled with lots of luxuries; it was more than enough for him.
Atticus instantly entered the bathroom and had a hot, steamy shower for a long while.
After a few long minutes, he finally stepped out of the bathroom, and his gaze instantly landed on the tray of food on the table.
Atticus smiled warmly at this scene. "This girl," there was only one person he knew would do something like this. 'She must have heard me enter,' Atticus thought with a smile.
Unlike the barracks, the mansion rooms were a bit more free. The inhabitants of the mansion could enter each other's rooms as long as the owner didn't lock the room.
Atticus changed into comfortable clothes and approached the table by the side, he ast down and immediately started eating the food.
After a few minutes, he was done, and he instantly lay down on the king-sized mattress after making sure to change the sheets; he had no idea what might have occurred.
Feeling how soft the mattress was, he could instinctively feel how good his sleep was going to be.
His lips curled up into a satisfied grin as he adjusted himself on the bed. He was excited for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he was going to see a particular purple-haired girl after two days of not seeing each other, and he was going to awaken an overpowered element!
Atticus closed his eyes and immediately entered a deep sleep.
The next day happened in an instant, and Atticus, as per his usual routine, woke up very early.
However, the routine he had religiously followed over the course of the month was broken as instead of heading to the caves to train, Atticus opted for the advanced training room.
The mana density and the powerful robots he could fight in the advanced training room were way more beneficial to him in the long run.
Just like the day before, Atticus chose to battle with the copy of Jared at master rank, while the sun was up once again.
And just like the last time, Atticus had completely gotten his ass whipped, his battered form sprawled on the floor.
After training in the morning, this time around, Atticus didn't drink any potions. This was going to be his new routine, and he wanted to gain everything from it.
And because of this, he had to spend more time inside the training room in order to recover.
Atticus went back to his room after recovering from the brutal beatings, but not before changing his clothes first in order to avoid what happened yesterday from repeating itself.
After having his bath, he came out of his room and met Aurora already waiting for him.
"Food?" Atticus asked with a smile.
Aurora nodded while holding her small tummy, then turned the next instant and started walking away. Atticus followed, and after a few minutes, they had their breakfast and went towards the terminal to wait to get teleported to class.
The gazes of the other youths once again bore into him, each of them wondering why he had ended up in that form yesterday.
But he ignored all of them, and as soon as the terminal lit up, Atticus gave the others a quick nod and entered the golden light.
After a few seconds, Atticus found himself inside the pristine white room. He instantly headed out of the room, and his lips couldn't help but curl up into a warm smile as he saw Zoey standing in front of his door with a small smile.
'Still as breathtaking as ever,' Zoey's smile was small, and yet, Atticus still had issues stopping his heart from racing anytime he saw this same smile.
'This is all I need,' Zoey's small, beautiful curled up lips were all Atticus needed to push him through any tough day and brighten up his mood.
"Hey," Atticus greeted with a charming smile as he stepped out of the room and approached her.
"Hey," Zoey responded with a smile of her own. They had both gotten closer over the past month, and while it hadn't completely dropped, there were fewer boundaries compared to the first time they met.
Just as Atticus was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a presence by the side. He turned his gaze to the side to see Kael staring at both of them with his characteristic expressionless face.
Kael turned towards Zoey and gave her a nod, then he turned back towards Atticus and spoke, his voice neutral, "I will head to class first," and without waiting for a response, he gave a short nod, turned, and started walking away.
Atticus stared at Kael's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips as he shook his head. 'Every time,'
Atticus turned his gaze back towards Zoey, his charming smile back on his lips.
"You look beautiful," Atticus complimented. But instead of the familiar scene of Zoey blushing, instead,
"You've started again," Atticus was met with Zoey's deadpan expression.
"Pfft," Atticus broke into a short fit of laughter.
"Well, you can't blame me. You. Are. Beautiful," Atticus put a lot of emphasis on the last three words while staring directly at Zoey.
But just as he finished speaking, he instantly bent his head forward, evading Zoey's gentle slap on his head from behind.
"Your flattery won't work on me this time!" Zoey's squeaky scream rang out, causing Atticus to take a step back and begin another fit of laughter.
Zoey clicked her tongue at the fact that she had failed to hit his head. She folded her hands on her chest the next instant and turned to face the side, feigning ignorance as though she didn't care about anything he said.
Atticus released a few more chuckles while looking at her. Despite how much she tried to hide it, the faint blush at the back of her ears was hard to miss.
