Chapter 363 Doting

The one who had just spoken stood at a height of 6.4 feet tall and boasted a bulky physique.

Impeccably dressed in yellow attire, he sported vibrant orange hair like Seraphin, with a gem embedded in his head emitting a radiant glow as the temperature in the area continued to rise to staggering levels.

"Brother Gerald," Seraphin suddenly spoke weakly while attempting to move, causing his body, lodged inside the wall, to fall.

Just as it seemed he would crash onto the hard ground, the same phenomenon that occurred earlier repeated itself as the air under Seraphin suddenly distorted, solidifying into a platform.

Seraphin's form landed softly on the invisible platform, and he was gently placed on the ground in the next instant.

"Damn, he really did a number on you," a male voice suddenly resonated across the hallway, causing Atticus to turn his gaze toward the figure of a boy emerging from the hallway leading to the elevator.

He stood at a height of 6.2 feet, had a slender physique, and was casually dressed in a long robe.

A touch of green hair adorned his head, and a large headset, currently glowing an intense shade of blue, covered a large set of ears. nove(l)bi(n.)com

'So it was him,' Atticus fixated his gaze on the new entrant. For a second there, he had thought that there was an individual with the space element present.

Although he hadn't felt it, it sure as hell looked as though it was distorted space he had used to stop his attack.

'He must have used sound,' Atticus deduced. He could perfectly recall that the Resonara family had a bloodline related to sound, which would give the actions he had just witnessed a sensible explanation.

And at the next instance, it suddenly dawned on Atticus: a Resonara and Stellaris were actually allies?

The fact that a person as reclusive as Atticus knew about the enmity between the Resonara and Stellaris family members was enough to tell you how well-known it was.

One could only imagine how much it came as a surprise to see them together.

It was clear he was using his Stellaris family genes to his full advantage.

But Atticus remained completely undaunted, his expression still maintaining its cold icy look.

And seeing this, both Gerald and Sonorous couldn't help but be astonished. Just what was giving this boy so much confidence?

"Are you comparing us to those weaklings you beat up? Is that what is giving you this much confidence?" Gerald seethed as he took a step towards Atticus.

The golden glow encompassing him made his body so intensely hot that it left flaming footprints indentations on the sturdy academy ground.

With how lit the gem on his head was, it was plenty obvious that Gerald still hadn't gone full power, and yet the temperature of the area had long since passed twice what Seraphin had personally been able to achieve.

Seeing Seraphin being held in such a manner was making Gerald feel so enraged he didn't know what to do with it.

He was seething. But despite how angry he was feeling, he couldn't attack Atticus because the latter was a first year, which was why he had been trying intimidation tactics against him since he got here.

But to his surprise, Atticus's gaze remained the same, tranquil even. It was plenty obvious to those watching that he wasn't at all worried about the current situation.

Atticus's cold gaze left Seraphin and focused on Gerald's seething form, his expression neutral as he spoke,

"There's only one way he gets out of this with his mind still intact."

Atticus tightened the grip on Seraphin's neck causing the latter struggle to get out of his hold.

Atticus continued,

"If he willingly signs a mana contract,"
