Chapter 230 Next Step

It wasn't that Atticus was trying to keep information from the other youths; quite the contrary, he simply felt it would be useless for them to know. What would them finding out do? Nothing.

So he hadn't deemed it unnecessary for them to know about the objective.

And each of the Ravenstein youths knew better than to tell the other youths what he didn't ask them to.

Atticus ignored the confused looks on all the youths' faces and focused his gaze at the terminal, waiting for it to continue.

After a few seconds, it did.

[The next step will be explained to you students in due time. You are advised to spend your division points now before moving to the next step; you won't be able to utilize them through out the next step's duration,] the AI voice advised, and suddenly another display materialized beside it, showing another timer already counting down from two minute.

It was clear they were given 2 minutes to decide what they wanted to do.

'Hmm,' Atticus's thoughts raced.

Although most of the youths present wouldn't notice it, the words of the AI revealed a lot of things about their challenge.

It had advised them to spend their Division points before moving to the next step. What did that imply?

Simple, in whatever battle or challenge they were going to fight in, they were going to be with their camp. nOVe(Lb-In

Which meant that they were going to be fighting a war style battle where they would either have to protect their camp from invasions or complete an objective.

So basically, whatever buildings or weaponry they bought or had currently was exactly what they would use to fight the battle.

Given the fact that they won't be able to utilize the division points during the battle, it was better for them to, just as the AI said, spend their points before moving to the next step. This would maximize the chances of victory.

However, after searching the academy shop, he had discovered something that instantly killed that dream: the highest rank armor or weapon he could purchase was Advanced rank. Not even Advanced+, but advanced rank!

Using his points to buy an Advanced rank armor when he was an Expert rank was completely useless.

It was like wearing steel when his body was already ten times harder than steel, utterly useless.

But after ranting and searching for a while, Atticus's eyes landed on a weapon, two weapons in fact.

It was a weapon that truly, he didn't need. But they were just so cool that he just had to buy them.

A pair of mana guns. And this same pair are what was currently holstered to his left and right waist.

These guns, identical in appearance, featured intricate carvings adorning their handles.

They resembling mini action rifle shotguns and were colored in a striking combination of white and black.

And just as their name implied, they release a shot of deadly mana beam depending on how much mana was channeled into them.

The highest mana one could channel was, of course Advanced rank.

Atticus turned his gaze back towards the terminal and decided to wait until the time reached zero.

"You're not buying anything?" Aurora suddenly inquired in a whisper behind him.

Atticus turned his head to the side, also responding in a whisper, "We can't afford anything."

Aurora let out an "Oh" sound before suddenly chuckling, "We're broke," she joked, making Atticus also chuckle in response.

After a few moments, the timer hit 0, and then immediately the terminal suddenly erupted in a blinding light that shot up through the skies.

Reaching the skies, the light suddenly separated and spread, encompassing the whole expanse and the youths in it, and without a single sound, the entire expanse suddenly disappeared.
