Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Divisions

"You have 30 minutes."

Hearing those words, Atticus's thoughts raced as he tried to understand what was going on.

'Choosing a leader? Wasn't this supposed to be an academy where we attend classes and other school activities?' Atticus pondered.

He had completely regarded the academy exactly as its name implies, a school. But from what he had just heard, it seemed like it was far from what he was expecting.

Since it was obvious Harrison wasn't going to explain further, Atticus decided to follow his instructions and see what he was talking about.

Clicking his artifact, a holographic display materialized in front of his face.

Amongst the many icons on the display, Atticus quickly spotted the 'choose a leader' by the side. Just as he was about to click on it, Atticus suddenly received a notification on his display.

[Aurora Ravenstein has joined your Division.]

And almost simultaneously, multiple notifications followed,

[Lucas Ravenstein has joined your Division.]

[Nate Ravenstein has joined your Division.]

[Aria Ravenstein has joined your Division.] …..

The notifications kept on appearing until all the Ravenstein youth who had participated in the test had joined.

Atticus also noticed that below each of the messages, there was a reject option there, which meant that he had the ability to refuse any of them if he wished. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

As soon as each of the Ravenstein youth joined, Atticus suddenly began receiving rapid notifications about random people joining his Division.

He had expected this to happen honestly; since he was the 2nd rank, many would want to join his group even if they didn't know anything about him. The name 'Ravenstein' would be plenty enough for them.

Atticus didn't refuse any of them. Since all of the Ravenstein youths had already joined his group, there was no reason to. The 1181 remaining members had to come from somewhere.

The 30 minutes quickly elapsed, and Harrison clicked on the device on his wrist. Seeing that every one of the youths was in a group, he closed it.

Releasing his aura to silence the crowd, he continued speaking,

"Excellent! Now that you all have joined a group, let us move to the next step," Harrison declared.

"Seconds from now, each division will be transported to different regions within the outer parts of the academy. As soon as you get there, consult your artifacts for further directives,"

"I wish you good luck!"

As soon as Harrison said those words, the whole coliseum floor immediately radiated a golden light encompassing all the first-year youths on the ground, and before any of them could react, they were all teleported out of the area.

….

Zoey gradually opened her eyes, emerging from a brief moment of darkness to find herself within a plain, unfurnished room. She took a few seconds to get her bearings.

'Where am I?' she thought.

'Stop daydreaming and look in front of you,' a petite voice suddenly responded to her thoughts inside her head.

Zoey listened and turned her gaze upwards, immediately seeing the figure of an extremely beautiful woman whose every feature embodied perfection in every aspect. She was looking at her with a gentle smile.

Zoey immediately bowed down, paying her respects. "I humbly greet you, Grand Matron," she greeted.

Seraphina smiled warmly, seeing her granddaughter act this way. "Come on, Zoey, I've told you countless times that you don't have to do this," she remarked.

An invisible aura enveloped Zoey, gently lifting her and bringing her into Seraphina's comforting embrace as she hugged her tightly.

"Congratulations on becoming the first rank, Zoey," she added.

Zoey, who was currently being tightly hugged by Seraphina, let go of her stiffness as she smiled and hugged her back. "Thank you, grandma," she replied.

Seraphina's eyebrows twitched, she tightened her hold on Zoey, "I told you not to call me that."

Zoey, who was now suffocating, immediately relented. "Yes, yes, auntie, auntie,"

After a few moments, Seraphina finally loosened the hold, making Zoey able to breathe.
