Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 376 4 Minutes

Chapter 376 4 Minutes

Unlike before where everyone had been facing the large terminal, each of the division members were facing the location where a small building of the control room the academy provided for each division at the beginning of any battle was supposed to be.

The entire camp was enveloped in palpable silence as each of the division members stared at each other in disbelief.

What had just happened? It had finished so fast that none of them even had a chance to do anything.

The Ravenstein youths also mirrored this same feeling. Aurora stood with her hands crossed on her chest while she gazed at Atticus, who was standing beside her with a smile as she shook her head.

Lucas's expression was unbothered, while Nate and the other Ravenstein youths were thoroughly sad, their expressions as though they had just been robbed of something very important.

The third division battle had just ended, and neither one of them had even lifted a single finger to fight. Even worse, they hadn't even seen their enemies!

The only thing they had time to see was the theme and rules of the battle.

To understand what had just happened, we would need to go back a few minutes ago.

As soon as the bright light enveloped the whole camp, each of them was transported along with the camp.

After a few seconds, Aurora opened her eyes and found herself facing the same black spire of the camp. She turned her gaze around, trying to get her bearings.

"You had better let us fight in this one," Aurora commented with a small sigh.

She had always been looking forward to the division battles because she would get to fight, but Atticus would always end up easily defeating the majority of the opposing forces.

This had happened during all the division battles they had fought so far!

'Huh?' Aurora suddenly noticed something. Seconds had passed, and the expected response hadn't arrived yet.

Aurora turned her gaze back to her front where a particular white-haired boy should have been standing.

"Where the hell is Atticus!?" Aurora exclaimed, instantly capturing the attention of the others.

Nate rapidly turned his gaze around the area, checking to see if he could find him, but yet, there was no sign of Atticus.

'Was he teleported somewhere else?' Lucas's gaze narrowed as he tried to assess the situation.

"Maybe…" he muttered under his breath, his thoughts racing.

Although he wasn't 100% sure, Lucas couldn't help but believe that the academy was trying to separate Atticus from the division.

The boy had practically been the one shotting each of the division battles they've faced so far. 'Where are we?'

Lucas turned his gaze around the area, noticing the tall imposing trees that surrounded the camp. They had all be transported into a forest but Lucas had no idea what they were supposed to do.

"So what do we do now? Is the young master safe?" Lucas turned and fixed his gaze at Chubby, who had just spoken up.

Chubby appeared to have gained some confidence now that Atticus wasn't present with them.

But he wasn't the only one, as Elijah and the other Ravenstein youths also started talking about what they should do next.

Before Lucas could respond to Chubby's question, Nate's exclamation beat him to it. "Who cares! If Atticus isn't safe anywhere he is, then there's nothing we can do about it."

Although many of them couldn't help but agree with Nate's statement, they all shook their heads with a chuckle.

They could all tell at first glance that Nate was excited that Atticus wasn't around. And his reason was revealed in the next instant as he turned his gaze up and spoke, "We can finally fight!"

Now that Atticus wasn't around, he could finally engage in battle!

"While I understand the need for celebration, I think it's more important for us to select a temporary leader," Elijah suddenly spoke up, interrupting Nate's antics.

Many of the Ravenstein youths instinctively turned their gazes towards Lucas. They knew that aside from Atticus, Lucas was basically the next smartest person amongst them. He would be the most logical choice.

But before any of them could start debating on who should lead, "I will lead," they all turned their gazes to the side to see Aurora, whose demeanor had suddenly changed, her form oozing with authority.

"Is there any problem with that?" Aurora inquired, her eyebrow raised.

Aurora's change was so sudden that it baffled each of them, and Atticus wouldn't be an exception if he were here.

She had always been... difficult, but that had always been with Atticus. Aurora hardly ever related to the other Ravenstein youths, not excluding Lucas and Nate.

"I also think that's the best option," Lucas added, supporting Aurora. To him, it didn't really matter who led the division; they were all going to plan together anyways.

The other Ravenstein youths also started agreeing to Aurora leading them temporarily until Atticus gets back. Many of them didn't actually mind; she was the second strongest in their group anyways. They were a strong believer of the strongest should rule.

Seeing that there were no objections, "Good, let's go check the rules," Aurora instructed, instantly turning as she started walking towards the already formed control room at the side.

Nate happily followed behind her while humming a tune. He hadn't even given a care about the temporary leader's position.

The rest of the division members remained outside and on standby as the Ravenstein youths made their way into the building.

After a few seconds, they found themselves inside the control room, standing around the small obsidian table.

And then, without further ado, Aurora clicked on the rules, and the obsidian table lit up and displayed it for all to see.

After a few seconds, each of their eyes widened as they finished reading the rules.

Nate's happy expression instantly morphed into an unwilling expression as he muttered under his breath,

"Shit."
