Chapter 272 Place
?272 Place
After walking around the garden with Ember for a while, they both talked about how their past years had gone.
Both Atticus and Ember were incredibly reclusive, so there really wasn't much to talk about.
But after a few moments, they both eventually separated under the excuse of going to train.
Ember was just as much a training freak as Atticus; many would even say she was more intense. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Just like Atticus, spending more than 5 hours doing nothing but listening to boring lectures was nothing other than torture for Ember.
Not having training for that long, they were both feeling... uncomfortable. It was a very weird feeling.
The kind of feeling that one gets when they were used to bathing multiple times a day and then suddenly went a whole week without bathing, very uncomfortable.
They had to go train.
After separating, Atticus started making his way back towards the first year building, intending on heading back towards his division.
As he got to the entrance, he suddenly remembered something, 'Shit, how the hell did I forget to ask,' Atticus thought.
He just instinctively went back to the first year building. Atticus still had no idea how to go back to the expanse.
He clicked on his artifact and swiftly navigated to the oracle section and inquired, "How do I go back to my division?"
A display materialized in front of him displaying his answer,
"You can return back to your division by entering the room you were teleported here to. The room is on the highest floor, with the door tag L1- 0002."
Before Atticus had released Ember from the hug, he had already come to a conclusion about how he would treat Dezazeus.
Atticus hated pretense. It was very unnecessary.
While he recognized that there were some situations where he would have to keep a low profile and rein in himself, he hadn't seen any reason to do that with Dezazeus.
Why should he pretend to be nice to someone who clearly wanted to do him harm? It was simply unnecessary and a major waste of time.
Just like the Raven camp, when Atticus had checked the rules, he saw that the lower years could initiate a fight with the higher years.
One could even say the Raven camp copied this concept from the academy.
But unlike at the camp, any damages done on academic properties would have to be paid for by the responsible parties.
He had wanted to end everything right there and then, which was exactly why he had thrown out that taunt.
But as soon as he saw that the smile on Dezazeus's face never once wavered, Atticus had instantly killed what he wanted to do in his head.
Although he truly hated bullshit, Atticus wasn't the type of person who would suddenly beat up a person because of the subtle clues only he had picked up.
And this was why he had always tried to taunt, try to make the situation escalate so he could shut the person down once and for all.
But with the brief interaction he had with Dezazeus, Atticus knew that he wasn't one to fall for such taunts.
And this was exactly why he had abruptly ended the whole thing and walked away.
Anymore would simply be a waste of time.
After a few seconds of searching, Atticus finally found the door he was searching for.
As he approached, the door soundlessly slid open, his words echoing behind as he entered,
"I guess I'll learn my place at the leader's summit then."
