Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Mass Crying

A crowd of students gathered in one of the secluded areas in the non leader's section of the academy campus.

This same crowd numbered exactly 100, and each of them looked haggard and pathetic. Their hair was unkempt, with most of it oily and sticking to their faces.

Some of them even displayed signs of malnutrition, many of their stomachs rumbling. It was quite obvious that they hadn't been eating well. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Their clothes were filled with stains, and with one look at the students, one would know for certain that they weren't friends with hygiene.

It would take an individual with a significantly strong will and the ability to withstand foul stenches to stand within this crowd and not immediately feel nauseated.

These gathered youths were the same 100 youths that a certain red haired youth had used to kick-start his payback at Atticus. The 100 youths he had secretly tortured and enslaved.

Although Atticus had initially planned to play everything cool after he had first found out about the enslaved 100, everything changed when Aurora had been attacked.

It became abundantly clear that the unknown perpetrator not only meant business but also had multiple plans in store for Atticus and his division members.

Atticus's decision had been happily supported by the other Ravenstein youths who had from the start wanted to lock the 100 students away and throw away the key.

After Atticus made that decision, the following events had been instant. Each of the 100 youths had been thrown out of the campgrounds, forced to live on the other side of the camp walls.

No buildings had been made for them, and they weren't even allowed access to eat in the mess hall. Basically, their standard of living went from good to terrible in an instant.

With no access to the mess hall, they had to source food for themselves, and the same was true for other amenities. The barracks had constant running water, even hot steamy water, and this was all for free!

But with access to that gone, they were literally forced to survive in the wilderness. They had been incredibly lucky that they still had experience in hunting, and most importantly, their weapons and armor; otherwise, they would most definitely starve.

Many would call that brutal, but from the very beginning, Atticus had always been brutal.

All of them stood at the corner, the dissatisfied murmurs of the crowd echoing around the area.

And after a few minutes of impatiently waiting, each of them spotted the figures of multiple youths all dressed in black attire that covered their whole forms and masks on their faces, approaching them.

The murmurs of the crowd immediately quieted down as each of the black clothed individuals started spreading out, each of them standing on different sides of the crowd, surrounding them.

The youths displayed no surprised expression on their faces as they saw these individuals; they were obviously already used to this situation.

This had always been how their enslavers had related to them, completely clothed, covering their faces.

Till now, not even they knew their identities, but because each of them had signed an academy contract with one of them, the only thing they knew was one and only one name of a student among them: Dennis Ruthor.

Many, especially those who already knew that the perpetrators were a particular red haired family, would be shocked at this name.
