Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Sniffles

Atticus's eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on the video in front of the youths, clearly showing him brutally burning the figures of the third years, his thoughts swirling.

It was very obvious that someone had taken a video of the scene during the incident, and Atticus didn't even bother to wonder who had done that.

There were quite a few people watching the scene unfold on that day, and knowing well that the artifact's seamless features allowed the students to take videos of anything they wanted with next to no visual cues.

This had been exactly why Zara had been able to make a deal with Atticus and take videos of the blacksmithing classes.

There were only two things on Atticus's mind: the implications the video would have on him if the whole academy were to see it, and the identity of the mastermind behind the assailants who had attacked him.

'Is it the one who sent them that did this?' Atticus's thoughts raced as he tried to get a clear picture of what was going on.

The assailants had all obviously entered an academy contract with someone, and although he greatly doubted it, Atticus couldn't help but believe that this current situation had been the mastermind's plan from the outset.

The only thing was…

'Wouldn't that mean the mastermind knew from the beginning that I would be able to easily take care of multiple geniuses of the third year?'

That notion sounded so absurd, even to him. Even though Atticus appeared to be in the Advanced+ rank, there were about four Advanced+ rank third years among the assailants.

Individuals who should have more experience than any first year, even if they were in the same rank.

Who in their right mind would expect Atticus to win with that kind of lineup?

Atticus suddenly had a realization, 'Or the mastermind had been close by, watching from the beginning, and seeing as I easily took care of the students, he decided to change his tactics and tarnish my reputation?' Atticus pondered.

He believed this second assumption was the right one. And coming to this conclusion, Atticus couldn't help but berate himself.

'I made a mistake.'

Atticus had been completely focused on torturing and extracting information from the assailants that he hadn't even thought about scrutinizing the crowd of students that had gathered in the building to watch him.

Even worse, he didn't even look at them.

If someone had sent the students to him, it was only natural that said person would want to be close by to watch the scene unfold.

If only he had scrutinized the crowd of students, Atticus was sure he would have at the very least found a clue.

Atticus slightly shook his head, clearing his mind of all unnecessary thoughts. 'It doesn't matter.'

Atticus had never been one to care about how good or bad his reputation was in the first place. In fact, Atticus didn't even believe that this would tarnish his reputation.

This was Eldoralth, not Earth.
