Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Considerate
The Academy points Atticus had gathered was a whole lot, especially considering each one of the other students were struggling to gather even 10,000 Academy points.

If any one of his division members ever got word about how many academy points he had, they would all freeze in shock.

After purchasing a multitude of teleportation runes, Atticus’s thoughts shifted back to his training issue.

Without the advance training room, his training would always be lacking.

He needed the simulation to create perfect conditions to train his elements, and also the regular sparing with a higher level opponent, even though it was against a robot, was a very valuable training experience.

Atticus had completely missed battling with the robots.

‘I have to find an alternative for the time being,’ Atticus pondered, ‘What about that?’

Atticus’s thoughts shifted to the master- rank beast he had fought in the dark cave a few weeks back.

‘Since there’s no chance of me dying, it should be a good training partner,’

The operators and Isabella included would receive the shock of their lives if they could hear the thoughts of this boy.

A 15 year old was thinking of using a master- beast as a sparing partner? They would curse about the unfairness of it all.

‘The mana density in the cave is very high. The darkness would also help in advancing my darkness element. It’s a perfect training spot,’ Atticus decided.

After pondering every thing for a bit, Atticus decided to take a short nap.

And after a few hours, Atticus, with an audible yawn and a long stretch, swung his legs to the side of the bed, his right hand covering his open mouth as he stood up.

Heading to the bathroom, Atticus washed his face and after putting on something casual, he left the room.

Stepping outside the barracks, Atticus was met with different clusters of students in the area. Many were simply joking around and laughing, with some even playing games.

Since they had their first division battle today, Atticus and the others had all decided to skip training for today, which was why many of them were outside playing and having fun.

Even though they had all been acting like they were fighting a war all this time, at the end of the day, they were still all 15 year olds kids.

Seeing Atticus step out of the building, many in close proximity to the barracks swiftly stopped what they were doing, stood up, and bowed in respect, with the others mirroring this action.

Atticus simply nodded in acknowledgment to each of them as he made his way through the camp. He was already used to the way they treated him.

He wouldn’t say he was enjoying it; he wasn’t actually feeling anything regarding it.

After a few seconds, Atticus strolled into the training grounds, instantly spotting Nate, Aurora, and some other Ravenstein youths who were all engaged in training.

As Atticus approached the group, Nate, who was in a spar with Elijah, the Ravenstein youth with flowing white locks and a warrior’s braid, stopped as he saw Atticus heading towards them.

The rest also stopped what they were doing, following Nate’s gaze.

“Yes! Is it time?” Nate happily exclaimed as Atticus approached.

“Oh look, the sleeping beauty is finally here,” Aurora remarked while staring at Atticus with an amused expression.

Atticus simply shook his head with a smile, ignoring Aurora’s comment. He acknowledged each of the Ravenstein youths with a nod and turned towards Nate, “Are you ready?” He asked.

Nate wasted no time, “Of course!” he answered swiftly, quickly bringing out his broadsword from his storage space.

He walked to one side and stood while facing Atticus.

Atticus also wasted no time and went to the other end, standing facing Nate.

The Ravenstein youths all exchanged surprised glances at each other as they each observed what was happening.

Atticus was actually going to spar with one of them?

They were all shocked, quite so, and at the same time excited. Would they all finally get to spar with Atticus?

Atticus noticed the excited look on each of their faces, and he couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly. Why were they so happy?

He wasn’t trying to brag or anything, but if they all sparred with him, they would only end up getting brutally beaten. Why were they so eager to do that?

He just couldn’t understand.

“Pffft,” Atticus turned to see Aurora trying hard to stifle her laughter. Unlike the rest of them, Aurora had grown up with Atticus.

And during the course of their growth, she had sparred with him on multiple occasions.

Each time, she was the one who begged and practically forced him to, but in all of the times they sparred, she had never, for even once, landed a hit on him.

Aurora was sure that if they weren’t so close to each other, she would have ended up brutally beaten each time.

She turned her gaze towards the scene, not intending on missing a single thing.

Seeing that Nate was ready and already in a stance, “I will allow you to attack for one minute before I retaliate. Use the one minute well,” Atticus declared.

Many might find Atticus’s words boastful, but each of them in the area knew he was being extremely considerate.

Hearing him, Nate too took a deep breath, his expression turning serious and he became completely focused.

He nodded his head in acknowledgment, immediately turning his focus to his earth element.

The earth beneath him swirled as it wrapped around him, forming a protective armor, with some converging on his torso and shoulders.

‘I should keep it light; I wouldn’t want to end up like William,’ Nate thought as a bead of sweat formed on his forehead.

There was no way he could ever forget how William turned out even after he covered his whole body in earth.

It did nothing to stop this monster in front of him.
