Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 Passed

It went without saying that as Atticus told Aurora and the other Ravenstein youth about the Alverian family's involvement, another brutality occurred throughout the academy campus.

Lark and the other first years had been hunted and brutally beaten into a pulp.

Words could not begin to describe how much relief the 100 division members felt as they were freed.

They all approached and knelt down in front of Atticus's mansion while chanting his name and thanking him.

Atticus, as usual, occasionally hung out with Zoey, Ember, and Kael, who since that day had been looking at him strangely.

He occasionally made reference to the one-year time he asked Atticus to battle with him as though he wanted to cancel it and fight immediately.

But after witnessing Atticus's battle with the third years, Kael had confirmed his earlier assumption: Atticus had been greatly holding back during their battle.

Even during his battle with the second years, Kael could still subtly feel it; he was still holding back.

But regardless of how overwhelming Atticus might seem, it never once dampened his fighting spirit.

They were still going to do battle after one year.

The third years of the academy were still completely quiet. Atticus had hardly ever even met them. It was like they were all intentionally avoiding him.

The only third year he could say he met was Ember. Atticus also questioned Ember just in case anyone was trying to give her a hard time because of him, or if anyone even outright attacked her. But in her usual nonchalant manner, she assured him everything was fine.

The academy became relatively peaceful.

However, this peacefulness was related to big events that spread around the academy. The cruelty of the academy was still going strong, incredibly strong.

Many students around the academy still got bullied, with many still getting enslaved. The rules of the academy were put in place for a reason, a reason many still failed to understand even until now.

The misconception that many have about the academy was that it was just a place to foster the next generation.

This, this was just the half-truth.

The academy was an eye-opener, a place where the youth of the human domain were taught the ways of the world. As Aric Stormrider had said, it was a place to train warriors.

One of the major features the academy used to simulate the cruelty of the world was the Academy contracts and the rules governing them.

It was meant to completely mirror the features of a mana contract without endangering the lives of the students.

Many might deem it cruel for the academy to allow students to enslave one another, but the academy would call them naive.

This was the reality of the world.

There were mana contracts everywhere, and it went without saying that many were being forced to sign them.

The academy contract would only last for 3 years and won't work after one leaves the academy. But mana contracts are for life.

There was no way to get out of them. Once signed, said individual would be a slave for the rest of their life.
