Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1009

A small, round device descended slowly toward the middle of the island. It stopped, hovering just in front of Atticus.

As Atticus observed the device with intrigue, it suddenly opened, revealing a letter.

It floated toward Atticus, and as he grabbed it, the hatch closed, and the device shot toward the horizon.

Atticus observed the letter for a few moments before opening it and reading its contents.

In less than a second, he sighed.

’It’s going to be more annoying than I thought.’

In the letter, Atticus had just received some details about their challenge.

’A simulated battle, huh.’

The first three to four months had been for basic training, ensuring their fundamentals were solid. Now, it was time for the actual training, the training that would enable them to survive on the battlefield. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

’Sounds like they just want to challenge me.’

Because of Atticus’s overwhelming strength, the military had essentially customized his challenges in an attempt to push him.

’Let’s just get this over with.’

While the military saw this as a challenge, to Atticus, it didn’t feel like one.

His strength compared to those under him was incomparable. Atticus could single-handedly wipe out the entire army if he wished, which meant he could do the same to any opponent they deemed the army capable of facing.

Unless they used paragon-ranked opponents, it wouldn’t be a challenge for him. And if they did, the entire notion of the army would become obsolete.

Because of this, in the upcoming challenge, the military had decided to focus on his leadership skills.

Atticus left the middle of the island, moving swiftly toward the camp. His visit was so brief it was barely a blip in time, so fast that no one noticed except for Kael, because of their connection.

A moment later, Atticus was soaring through the sky, Aurora in tow.

The instant they appeared in the air, Aurora erupted.

"Atticus! I’ve told you to stop doing this bullshit! Do you have shit for ears?!"

Atticus exhaled, shaking his head. "It’s nice to see you too, Aurora."

Aurora crossed her arms, huffing. "Hmph! Of course, it’s nice to see me. Who do you think you’re talking to?"

Atticus barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Stop whining."

Before she could retort, he tossed the letter at her.

"Our first challenge is here."

Aurora caught it swiftly, her eyes narrowing as she skimmed through the contents.

And then, her entire demeanor shifted.

Excitement sparked in her gaze, and she grinned widely.

"You mean—?"

Atticus nodded. "My role will be limited."

Aurora exploded in joy.

"YES! YES! YES!"

Atticus’s mouth twitched. "At least pretend not to like it."

But Aurora did no such thing.

She was practically jumping in the air, fists raised, eyes gleaming with unfiltered joy.

Atticus sighed, shaking his head. "Alright, alright. That’s enough."

Still grinning, Aurora spun midair. "I’ll get them ready!"

Before she could say anything else, Atticus flicked his fingers, sending her hurtling back toward camp.

Aurora barely managed to land on her feet, shouting as she tumbled into the recruits.

Atticus watched her disappear below, shaking his head with an amused smile.

Then, without another word, he vanished, reappearing back at the middle of the island.

In the letter, they had been given a few hours to prepare for their challenge.

’I wonder what it’ll be.’
