Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387 Shock

Aurora stood alone inside the massive room, facing a large mirror while staring at her reflection.

Both her hands were holding the earring Atticus had just given her as though it was an invaluable treasure.

This earring on her ear proved that what she had felt yesterday wasn't a lie. While she was sleeping, she had felt a comforting presence she had initially thought was her father, but considering the unfolding events, it was clear that it was Atticus.

Aurora knew from the way Atticus had behaved that he was feeling guilty that they had attacked her because they wanted to get to him.

And while this thought had always been in her mind, this fact only cemented it. It made her feel even more… useless.

'I'm a liability,' Aurora thought as she held the earring tightly. This was the last thing she wanted to be, especially to someone she cared about greatly.

Aurora had never been the type to have any big aspirations or dreams. While she knew how important strength was in this world, she wasn't one whose goal in life was to become the strongest or conquer the world and all of those cliché things people her age were fond of dreaming about.

Aurora only wanted one thing: a loving family she could rely on to always be there and vice versa.

And ever since her terrible situation at camp with her father, which ended with her and Atticus becoming close, he had always been that for her, family. Someone she could rely on.

But looking at the current situation of things and her past actions and events, only one thought came to Aurora's head, 'I've gotten too comfortable.'

She had always relied on Atticus and always stayed close to him, clinging on to him because she was scared that he would leave her alone.

After she lost her father, he had been the only one there for her. She couldn't help but think of how devastated she would feel if Atticus was to leave her too.

But hearing what Atticus had just said before he left, Aurora couldn't help but realize how stupid she had been.

Aurora closed her eyes, releasing a deep breath.

Then she opened them, her resolve firming as her red eyes blazed, "I have to find my own way and stop following him."

Aurora rubbed the earrings Atticus had just given her one more time, "Thank you, At," she muttered softly before turning and entering the bathroom to get ready for the day.

…

The time was after 9 in the morning, and despite the fact that there was still more than an hour remaining before the terminal would activate and teleport them to the academy campus, each of the Ravenstein youths was already gathered in front of the imposing terminal, each of their gazes cold.

Well, all of them except Aurora and a particular white haired boy who would never miss a moment of training even if the world was ending.
