Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Walk

As soon as the imposing double doors of the Raven hall swung open, as if flipping a switch, the entire hall suddenly fell into a pin drop silence.

There was no announcement, no heads up for their arrival, but the sheer pressure that oozed out of Magnus's presence was enough for everyone to turn silent and shut up.

Magnus took a step forward, his aura immediately enveloping the entire hall.?It was a wordless command, and without hesitation, every person in the hall, from trainees to branch heads, stood up and bowed in respect and reverence. Non were an exception.

Leading the way, Magnus and Freya took their positions at the front, while Avalon and Anastasia followed directly behind them. Atticus, Ember, Caldor, and Aurora walked closely behind the four.

As they were walking, Atticus couldn't help but notice that nearly every pair of eyes in the hall were focused on him. It felt as if invisible needles were pricking him from all directions. It was annoying.

While everyone was outwardly showing their respect and reverence for Magnus and the main family, their attention was fixated on Atticus, as if they were trying to unravel all of his secrets.

Anastasia and Avalon, of course, noticed the stares and attention that Atticus was receiving, but they both ignored it.

They had already anticipated that this would happen. Learning of a child that could defeat an expert rank while still being in the intermediate- rank was obviously going to make people curious.

After everything Atticus had achieved in the Raven camp, this level of attention was only to be expected.

Anastasia had already made up her mind to shield Atticus in case anything went awry. The unwavering attention from the hall's attendees were like a swarm of probing eyes, and she was ready to protect her son.

Feeling all the stares in the hall on him, Atticus had already figured out what they were all trying to do. Sure, most of them were curious about the child who defeated an expert rank, but not all of them were like that.

There were those who had already assumed that the main family didn't have any mind blowing talents in this generation and were already planning and hoping their children would at least have a shot at being the family's heir.

These particular people obviously weren't happy to find out about Atticus's exploits during the attack on the Raven camp. From these people's gazes, Atticus could feel a certain amount of pressure.

It was obvious what they were all trying to do: intimidate him. Despite the fact that Atticus was still a 10 year old child, it would be a blow to his reputation and even the main family's if their heir were to falter here.

One would think that doing that to Atticus in the presence of Magnus would be taken as a sign of disrespect, but they all had the guts to do this exactly because they knew Magnus's character.

They basically knew how he thought—If he couldn't get past something this trivial, then he wasn't worthy to begin with.

They all knew Magnus welcomed any challenges as long as it was done fairly and without disrespecting the hierarchy.

Of course, none of those trying to pressure him were utilizing their full efforts; they all knew that if they did that, they'd have their heads rolling before they could even blink.

But despite them not using their full effort, the pressure they were currently focusing on Atticus wasn't something an intermediate- rank should be able to handle.
