Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397 Brood

It was the sort of tears that one would shed when they wanted to brood about the unfairness of the world.

They had all been happy that they had a fair leader like Atticus. It wasn't like Atticus was nice to them, far from that.

But he had done one better, he had given each of them a comfortable place to live even though they had been suddenly thrust into the middle of a forest.

And most importantly, he had given each of them the ability to fight for themselves, to hunt beasts and gain experience. For the first time in their lives, they didn't feel useless and weak.

He was completely fair to everyone and didn't actively seek to exploit them, even though it was very easy for him to.

Even though each of them they were scared of Atticus, there was not a single person in the division that wasn't happy that Atticus was their leader.

If they had known that Atticus had been their target from the beginning, perhaps the current situation would have been different. They might have not have accepted so easily.

The Alverians had made it seem as though it was just random bullying. The fact that each divisions were divided across the academy made it all easier.

Which was why it was so painful.

They were starting to enjoy their time in the academy, they were starting to believe they weren't so useless in life anymore. And all of that was abruptly taken away from them by these black clothed bastards.

The students who had earlier been sobbing suddenly wiped away their tears in unison, and as though they each reached a mutual understanding without even needing to speak, they each suddenly turned their gazes towards the youth who had asked them to kneel earlier, their gazes becoming bloodshot.

They each had nothing to lose anymore. They would at least revel in the fact that they had taken one of them down.

But reality had always been a big bitch.

With bloodshot eyes, just as they all wanted to scatter and attack, the same usual bright glow occurred and each of them ended up getting the living daylights shocked out of them.

The 5'7" youth who had been addressing them earlier gazed at them coldly without any hint of remorse in his gaze. And after a few moments, the artifact stopped electrocuting them.

With each of the youth twitching on the floor, the youth continued addressing them,

"After I'm done talking to you, you will each be given multiple explosives. With these explosives, you all have two options: Wear them on you and sneak to the mansion where Atticus Ravenstein is sleeping in the division tonight and detonate it, or simply plant them around the mansion and wait for him to enter it before detonating. You all are to choose the best method depending on the situation, and most importantly, do it simultaneously," the youth explained in a happy tone.

To everyone listening, it was very obvious that he was happy about the order he was giving out.

And as the students on the floor all heard his order, a cold shiver ran down each of their spines. He wanted them to bomb the mansion where that white haired devil would be sleeping?
