Chapter 336 Begun

?During the time that had passed, despite the fact that he was basically the most talked about person in the whole academy, Atticus's routine didn't once change.

He behaved completely like a robot, as though his schedule was programmed into his very being.

Wake up, train in the caves with, go to classes, hang out with either Zoey, Ember, or Kael for a little time, and then head straight to the elemental room to train.

Unfortunately, Atticus didn't have the luxury to go on dates or even spend time with her for a prolonged amount of time.

While he actually liked the girl and they'd been getting closer every day, Atticus was very determined to quickly awaken his space element within the scheduled 5 weeks, and he had no intention of allowing anything to interrupt this goal.

Luckily, Zoey had been very understanding; she welcomed it, even claiming that she had to train as well. But regardless, even if it was just for a few minutes, both of them always made sure to take a walk through the garden of the academy campus while talking, much to the entirety of the academy students' dissatisfaction.

This particular routine went on for a long while until Atticus discovered a loophole he could use to earn more training time in the elemental room. It was so simple he almost hit himself for not thinking about it sooner.

The academy allowed the youths to purchase extra classes with academy points if they ever wanted, as long as they could afford it.

Didn't that mean that if Atticus purchased a class which was scheduled on a weekend, he would be able to go to the academy campus then?

Atticus had immediately put this to the test.

He paid for 2 classes each on Saturday and Sunday at a staggering price of 20 thousand academy points each. He could only choose a leader's course.

And when the weekend came, Atticus was elated to find out that it actually worked. He had been transported to the campus.

Atticus immediately ditched the class and headed to the elemental room, only to discover a rule that made him almost rampage around the campus.

He couldn't use any facilities nor attend any other classes if he had an ongoing scheduled class. Plus, missing any scheduled class attracted a severe penalty that he would rather not take.

Atticus was thoroughly pissed. But after a few minutes and having taken a few deep breaths, he calmed down.

He reluctantly attended each class on Saturday and Sunday. They were courses about survival and beasts.

The first was simply a course on how to survive in the wilderness, while the second was a class about beasts.

His presence completely shocked the students and even the instructors taking the course, with all of them wondering why he was there.

While both courses might seem necessary, the academy hadn't deemed it so. The purpose of the academy was always to prepare the youths for the military.

...

"What is the theme of this month's division battle?"

A tall and bulky man with orange hair turned to face a man with serpentine skin and asked.

Slate couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he heard Jared speak.

So this bastard could control his voice, but he still decided to torture them with his loud voice the last time they were here?

Snake shook his head, getting rid of the murderous thoughts slipping into his head, and decided to respond to the big guy. "No one knows the theme until it begins. It was the same last time too. Nothing's changed,"

Jared raised his hand and scratched his head awkwardly. "Ah, okay okay. I guess we'll see what theme this would be soon,"

Snake nodded in agreement and turned to face his front.

The duo were currently standing inside the first-year control room while overlooking the myriad of screens displayed on the wall.

Just like the last time it had taken place, the control room was packed with instructors and operators alike who had come to watch the battles. And like last time, most of them were only here to watch one student, the same infamous white-haired boy that we all know well, Atticus.

The video of his brutality had spread to even the instructors themselves.

Many of them hadn't even been shocked that Atticus was capable of easily defeating the third years.

They had each seen the extent of his power.

And despite the fact that the result of the test was plenty obvious, many of them still came to watch, curious about what Atticus would show them.

As usual, at the forefront of the instructors stood the father and daughter duo, Harrison and Isabella.

Both of their gazes were focused on the screen, anticipating the start of the battles.

The room was also packed with different operators, both the ones on duty and the ones off duty.

Gon, the instructor who had won the mass betting the last time the operators wanted to see how fast Atticus would defeat the shadow Seraphon, stood with a huge smile on his face while gazing at his artifact.

'The point will be mine today too,' he thought with giddy anticipation. The room was filled with hushed whispers and chatter of the instructors and operators alike, each of them talking about the upcoming battle, the anticipation in the room palpable.

And then, without warning, a loud chime reverberated throughout the control room and as if flipping a switch, they all quieted down, each of them focusing their gazes on the screens.

The division war had begun.
