Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Mess Hall

After the intense battle with the beast horde, each and every youth in the camp retreated to their rooms to rest. It had truly been a long day.

Even Atticus wasn't excluded; he headed straight to his room to have his bath after escaping from Aurora.

Although throughout the duration of the fight, his clothes hadn't been stained once, his body was so neat that he hadn't even sweated a single drop, but he still felt dirty and decided to have his bath.

The whole camp descended into a palpable silence after this. It was already after 6 pm, and because of the battle, they had all decided not to hold any training sessions again for the day.

The next day, Atticus, as usual, woke up early. He had never really needed an alarm to wake him up; it was already programmed into his system.

After a quick training session that lasted 2 hours, Atticus left his room, heading to the mess hall to get a meal.

Fortunately, this time around, Atticus didn't have to give the youths any more 'warnings'. There were no incidents as he made his way to the mess hall.

After a few minutes, Atticus was seated down at a round table in the mess hall, and seated all around the table were Aurora, Lucas, Nate, and surprisingly, Chubby.

In a 20 meter radius around the table, it was as though there was a palpable boundary there. Every single youth currently in the mess hall steered clear of the area.

Normally, during the three weeks they had all been in the camp, Atticus had never once eaten in the mess hall.

This was the first time they were seeing him here. And after the major reminder they each got yesterday about how much of a monster he could be, they all knew better than to get on his nerves.

The whole hall was silent, with only the occasional sound of the silverware clattering or of a random awkward cough.

On the round table, unlike everyone who was casually eating, Chubby's head was down as he was twirling his fingers underneath the table. It was very obvious that he was nervous.

Nate, turning his gaze up from his food, suddenly noticed Chubby. "Hey Kai, why aren't you eating? The food is good!" he asked.

They were each eating a different variety of food, each looking better than the last. The cafeteria building allowed them to select any food they wanted to eat, but of course, depending on the food, the number of points required to purchase differed.

The mess hall building was a huge lifesaver for the group. They didn't require any ingredients or have any cooking skills; they would simply select whatever they wanted, and the food would materialize instantly.

But the only reason they were able to afford the building in the first place was that Atticus took the second position in the entrance test.

One could only wonder how the other divisions who couldn't afford it were doing.

Hearing Nate, Chubby looked up, but just as he was about to reply, he suddenly saw Atticus's eyes focused on him because of Nate's statement.

His eyes widened, and he instantly bowed his head back down while stuttering, "No-nothing. I just don't have an appetite."

Nate was flabbergasted for a few seconds, "Is the world ending?" Nate couldn't help but ask in slight disbelief.

Kai had no appetite?
