Chapter 434 Safe

Lucas suddenly decided to change the topic. Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

"So who would you be taking along?" he inquired.

Amongst the rules of the leader's summit, each one of the leaders was required and allowed to choose one subordinate from their division to join them during the duration of the summit.

Although it was pretty obvious who Atticus would choose, Lucas still thought it best to ask him directly.

Lucas's question was immediately followed by a cataclysmic boom that reverberated throughout the room.

Atticus and Lucas turned their gazes to the side to see a streaking figure hurtling back through the air at fast speed, leaving a fiery blaze in its wake. In the next second, the figure hit the hard training room walls in a brutal impact.

The duo both followed the fiery trail the figure had left, their gazes landing on the figure of Aurora whose fist was stretched out for a punch, her whole form covered in a dark red attire.

The whole room descended into a loud silence as each one of the youths currently training stopped and turned their gazes towards the figure.

After a few seconds, the form of the figure became visible, each of their gazes landing on the bulky figure of Nate also donned in an exosuit, a large fiery fist imprinted in his stomach, bending him at the waist.

Atticus chuckled, "Who else could I possibly pick?"

"Do you even have a choice?" Lucas also joined in on the laughter.

After that, Atticus and Lucas spoke about some random things for a few minutes while watching the rest of the Ravenstein youths train.

Atticus silently observed each of their exosuits, trying to note the differences between theirs and his. It was no secret that his exosuit was different from the rest of the exosuits they were giving the students.

After a few minutes of observation, Atticus had been able to find out some interesting features of their suits.

Atticus could also sight some crowds gathered around some youths about to engage in an arm wrestling competition.

After a few seconds of taking in the sights, Atticus retreated towards the mansion and headed straight to his room to get some shut-eye.

It had been an incredibly long day, and he was completely mentally drained. He really needed to sleep and rest his head.

As Atticus had his bath and was about to sleep, a thought suddenly struck him, 'If I'm asleep, it would take over my body, right?' Atticus pondered worriedly.

He just couldn't escape this nagging feeling that it was possible. As he came to this conclusion, Atticus couldn't help but release a huge sigh.

The academy had really given him a huge burden, one he would have to learn to live with.

The gains had been incredible, he wasn't going to lie, but the fact that he had to live his life completely alert in order to make sure that something inside him wouldn't take control of his body wasn't something many could live with.

Just to be safe, Atticus had locked the doors of his room, remembering the intense stare of a certain red-eyed girl, and then he had placed rune mines in every single inch of the room, including the walls, ceiling, and doors.

The mines weren't enough to hurt him significantly, but at the very least, he should wake up should something happen.

After this, Atticus slept.

The night went by quickly. The next morning, Atticus had woken up and luckily hadn't encountered any problems; his body hadn't been taken over.

Atticus still chose to be careful and had performed the same routine every night before he slept, placing rune mines all over the place.

Apart from that, they had found out that classes had been put on hold for a week, in order for some of the students to recover fully from getting their suits and also to prepare for the upcoming leader's summit.

Seeing as he couldn't go to the academy campus anymore, Atticus had continued his routine and had trained intensely at the camp instead.
