Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Pat

Before Nate could continue his protest, Lucas's hand collided with the back of his head in a swift, reprimanding motion. "Stop whining. A bit of education wouldn't hurt, especially for a block head like you,," Lucas admonished with a smirk playing on his lips.

"B-but I don't want to go to school!"

Seeing the way Nate was acting, many of the Ravenstein youths and even the normal division members all struggled to stifle their laughter as they exchanged amused glances.

Even the most stoic among them couldn't help but crack a smile at Nate's display.

If each of them had to be honest, excluding their childhood where they learned how to read and acquired general knowledge necessary for leading a normal life— such as maths and the geography of Eldoralth, and, for many youths, the names and features of all the tiered families.

Many tiered families also learned subjects like etiquette, but all of this was done at home. Apart from these, none of them had ever attended a school before.

The intelligence of children on Eldoralth couldn't be compared to those on Earth. A few years of learning were all they needed to learn and even master complex things that would take the later longer to learn.

The thought of having to sit down doing nothing was enough to dissatisfy many, but even they had to admit that Nate's reaction to this was too much. The boy must really hate learning.

"What classes are you attending?" Aurora suddenly asked as she approached Atticus.

Turning his gaze from the unfolding scene, Atticus faced Aurora, who looked at him curiously. "LDSP- 001, LCBT- 001, and LEMT- 01. What about you?" Atticus responded and inquired.

"Oh," Aurora's expression shifted momentarily to sadness before returning to normal. It was clear she was trying to conceal her disappointment at attending separate classes from Atticus.

And of course, there was no way Atticus would miss this obvious sign, 'That's right, 'leaders.' The class is for leaders so she can't come,' Atticus realized.

Seeing Aurora's downcast expression, Atticus smiled. Suddenly, he raised his hands and started patting her head, speaking in a reassuring tone.

"Cheer up, Aurora. It's only for a few hours. It'll pass quickly, and after that, we'll be back at the expanse," Atticus reassured.

"Hm," Aurora muttered, her mood subtly lifting. 'It's just for a few hours anyway,' she thought.

But as if something clicked in her head, Aurora's eyes widened, and she quickly shoved Atticus's hand away, taking two steps back. "What the hell are you doing!" she screamed.

"Pffft," Atticus burst into laughter, making Aurora turn crimson in embarrassment.

"But you were enjoying the head pat!" Atticus said, trying to stifle his laughter.

He knew Aurora was going to react this way to him patting her head. The only reason she hadn't done so sooner was that she hadn't realized it yet.

"W-who was enjoying it!? Hmph!" Aurora immediately retorted, turning her head to the side with her arms folded across her chest.

Atticus burst into another fit of laughter, thoroughly enjoying teasing her.
