Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Decision

Despite trying his very best to be loud, his voice had at best come out conversational instead. But the people currently in the room weren't normal beings; they all could still hear him clearly as he continued speaking.

"Because of the importance that the leader's summit embodies, we've always strived for fairness. To bridge the gap between the higher and lower years and make sure they each experience memorable battles and challenges,"

By now, the faces of the first year instructors had already morphed into a perplexed look as they each stared at Rhiannon with a look that screamed, What the hell are you talking about?

Jared chuckled slightly, his intense grin undisturbed as he watched Rhiannon speak.

Isabella too was silent. Her expression completely neutral as she waited for Rhiannon to finish speaking.

Rhiannon continued, "And this is why, in lieu of all of this, I propose we use the LevelLock."

As soon as those words dropped, the hall instantly erupted into chatter as the first-year instructors immediately voiced out their disagreement, their collective voices resounding across the room.

"This is outrageous! We've always proposed this same thing every year, but you all always shot it down! Why the hell would we agree to this now!?"

Rhiannon maintained his demotivated smile and responded calmly and with a straight face, "For fairness."

The other first-years also voiced out their disagreement and started speaking out, but it was obvious that Rhiannon wasn't alone on this.

The other second and third years suddenly started backing him up, expressing their agreement with what he had proposed.

The hall instantly turned into chaos as the instructors went back and forth between each other.

It was crystal clear what the second and third-year instructors were trying to do. The LevelLock was the same feature that was used in the combat training classes, the same feature Atticus and Jared had used during their first class when they sparred against each other.

A feature that allowed one to limit the power and abilities of selected individuals to an agreed level.

Their intention was as clear as day; they wanted to limit the strength of each of the youths to the same level so that each one of the students would have the same starting point.

It would sound incredibly odd to many people if they were to hear this, and this would be because the higher years were naturally stronger and more powerful than the lower years.

So why then was a third-year instructor, who clearly wanted the winner to emerge from his year, proposing that they make the students' strength equal?

That same question was what many people would wonder. But to the instructors currently in the room, there was no one amongst them who didn't know why they were doing this; it was very obvious.

'How predictable,' Isabella inwardly sighed. She already knew well that they would do something like this. The reason they were doing this was simple: Atticus Ravenstein.

To the higher year instructors, he was too much of a wild card. They couldn't risk losing the whole competition to a first-year; it would reflect badly on them.
