Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Time Passed

A red haired boy dashed through a foliage of trees at fast speed, enacting what many would view as a massacre.

The young boy moved with a cold expression on his face while effortlessly locating different beasts in the forest.

And every single time, he wouldn't stop or turn to even acknowledge the presence of the beasts. At every instance, a myriad of thick vines would suddenly shoot out from every direction, brutally piercing the forms of the beasts.

Then the boy would simply continue as though nothing had happened.

This boy was none other than Dell Alverian. The Alverian family bloodline was completely plant-based, and it was exactly because of their bloodline that enabled them to be the alchemists of the human domain.

While the other tiered families also had their alchemists, none of them could be compared to the true genius alchemists of the Alverian family.

But this didn't mean the battle strength of the family was weak; quite the contrary. For every member of the Alverian family, given their bloodline, the forest would always be their domain, and the current ongoing situation only goes to show why.

Facing an Alverian in the middle of a forest, especially of the same rank, was simply asking for a brutal death.

After a few hours of hunting, Dell finally decided to stop. His form, which was initially moving through the air, abruptly stopped on one tree branch.

Resting his back on one tree, Dell raised up his artifact and with a few clicks, his eyes couldn't help but get intensely colder as he gazed at the figure of the white-haired youth who was brutally burning the figures of some students.

'She wasn't lying,' Dell thought. He had constantly been rewatching this same video over and over again throughout the weekend, trying to figure out how he had done it but to no avail.

Dell gritted his teeth hard.

"I might not be able to win," a cold flint passed through his eyes as he concluded.

If Lila could hear her brother's thoughts now, she would be very shocked. Her usually hot-tempered brother actually admitted that he was weaker than Atticus?

Dell took in a deep breath. 'So what do I do now?' He wondered. It was obvious that directly going after Atticus would end with his body getting roasted. This had been his original plan.

He couldn't even refer to it as a plan. It simply involved him beating up Atticus in front of the students.

But that could only work if he were stronger than Atticus, which Dell had thoroughly believed before he saw this video.

Dell had no intention of going through that despite how much hate he had for Atticus. He would simply be taking another huge blow to his reputation should he fail and get beaten up instead.

Resting on the tree branch, Dell closed his eyes and pondered. 'How do I deal with this? He's stronger than me and from what I've seen, he's also smart and cool-headed. He should be an Advanced+ rank, but looking at the way he defeated those third years, he's obviously stronger. Just to be safe, let's say Expert-,'

Dell was also an Advanced+ individual, and despite probably being stronger than each of the third-year assailants that attacked Atticus, he knew deep down that he couldn't have easily defeated them like that.

Which was why he decided to be careful and placed Atticus in the Expert- rank.

Dell's thoughts swirled, and after pondering for a bit, he finally came up with his next course of action.

"Let's see how you'd deal with this."

…

The days went by fast, and the video of Atticus's brutality spread throughout the whole academy, with practically everyone seeing it.

This particular video caused a lot of tension in the academy, especially among the lower and higher years.

Everywhere one went, regardless of the place, it was always natural for the seniors to see themselves as superior.

Even though there was no seniority in the academy, while it wasn't applicable to every lower year, it was natural for a higher year to be more powerful than a lower year.

And it was exactly because of this that there was an unspoken consensus among the lower years to always either completely avoid them or show them the least bit of respect.

But now that Atticus, a first-year, had effortlessly defeated multiple strong third years and had even gone the extra mile to torture them in front of multiple people!

There was no one in the academy who didn't know who the white-haired monster was. At this stage, Atticus was practically infamous.

And this infamy only seemed to increase as it became a normal occurrence to see the handsome, imposing figure of Atticus walking through the garden with the breathtaking form of Zoey.

Words could not even begin to express how badly this was taken.
