Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677 Stage

The fact that the paragons had waited this long was, in itself, shocking. Normally, if one of them were late, the others would have started without them already.

But none of them could deny their curiosity about the acclaimed genius Magnus had been so insistent about for the past few years. It was the first time they had seen Magnus so hell-bent on something like this. If it wasn't directly related to the Ravensteins, the man hardly ever spoke.

All the paragons had to go on were the reports they had heard from the academy, but nothing compared to seeing it live.

It wasn't just the paragons who were impatient; the tension was high among the tier one family heads as well.

"They're late,"

A soothing voice sounded, though it lacked the full effect of Seraphina's voice. The woman who spoke was still nearly as captivating as the enchanting Seraphina.

The other family heads wore frowns on their faces. Just like the Stellaris paragon, the head of the Stellaris family hadn't bothered to show up, but the others had.

"Sounds like you can't wait to meet him, Celestia," a man with a crown of brown hair chuckled, directing his comment at the current matriarch of the Starhaven family, Celestia Starhaven and Zoey's mother.

This man had a bestial aura, his eyes glowing red. Despite sitting on a seat, there was a large broadsword strapped to his back. This was Gale Stormrider, the father of Kael and the supposed head of the Stormrider family.

The woman he had just spoken to, Celestia, had flowing purple hair braided with many luxurious pins and accessories. Her eyes were bright amethyst, and her lips were a deep purple.

An intense frown appeared on Celestia's lips as she looked at Gale coldly, not bothering to respond.

True, she was feeling a bit impatient about meeting Atticus, but her reason was far from positive. She had heard all about what had occurred between that boy and her daughter at the academy, and "angry" was an understatement for what she was currently feeling.

Eleanor Alverian, the head of the Alverian family, was also present. However, he sat calmly in his seat, chin resting on his fist, saying nothing.

The Emberforge, Enigmalnk, Resonara, Nebulon, and Frostbane family heads also maintained their silence. However, it was very clear that each of them was in a terrible mood.

The paragons might not feel as affected, but Atticus had beaten and dominated each one of their sons aside from the Emberforge. The hostility was intense.

The chatter was more apparent in the tier 2 and tier 3 rows, with everyone talking and anticipating the upcoming event.

It was unfortunate, but only the tier one families were allowed to participate in the competition.

While many obviously had problems with this, none ultimately voiced their complaints. The tier ones held ultimate power, and none of the other families could challenge their decisions.

Since none of them were allowed to participate, their attention was focused on the six youths standing in the middle of the hall. These six were the apex candidates.
