Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Return

Upon returning to the division building after their hunt, Hella confronted Belle.

"Hey! We almost got hurt because of wrong information! The Drakon was an adult!" she said angrily, slamming her hands on the counter.

Belle was taken aback but composed herself, saying, "I don't know how the assassination division could have made such a mistake."

The assassination division were responsible for gathering intel on the monsters around the camp. They were trained in the art of infiltration, assassination, and gathering information.

Belle continued, "It either evolved recently, or maybe because it was an intermediate rank, they just assumed it was young."

The classification of drakons by rank and age held significant importance. Typically, young drakons were categorized as intermediate rank, while the adults were considered at least intermediate+ rank.

Encountering an intermediate ranked adult drakon was an exceedingly rare occurrence. Despite bloodlines and ranks being separate aspects, individuals could choose not to advance in rank and instead focus on developing their bloodline powers.

However, this choice had its limits, as one's physical body could only accommodate their bloodline powers up to a certain point. Additionally, your rank affected the power you could unleash with your bloodline.

Hella's frustration was evident, "Those damn bastards. They'd better pay for this!"

Atticus watched all of this with an amused expression. In the short time he had known Hella, she had always been serious and bossy. He hadn't expected to see her act this way.

After a while, she calmed down and handed over the loot from the Drakon to Belle for inspection. Belle examined the corpse and recorded the information on her holoscreen.

Notifications popped up for Atticus and the team members, each receiving 100 points for the loot.

Belle reassured them that she would investigate the matter further, and the group disbanded.

Throughout the process, Helodor was giving Atticus an intense death glare. However, Atticus completely ignored it, a reaction that seemed to further fuel Helodor's anger.

As Atticus headed back, he reflected on the day's experience, 'I should be better prepared next time. Today was an important lesson. Although my life wasn't in danger, it could have been worse.'

He too had been caught off guard by the drakon. He wanted to be better prepared next time incase of anything. 'I really need to visit the emporium when i have enough point. I should be able to get something useful there.'

From the information Atticus had gathered, he found out that there was a market where recruits can buy arts, potions and other things with their points.

In the midst of his thoughts, his device rang, and Ember's call appeared on the screen.

Upon answering, Ember informed him that she was in the cafeteria.

Considering his hunger and the chance to spend time with her, Atticus decided to join her. He entered the cafetaria after a few minutes and found her sitting alone and approached.

"Hey Ember"

"Hey" she replied, a small smile forming on her lips.

Atticus sat down and they started talking, well Atticus did most of the talking.

As they were comfortably seated in the cafeteria, Nate and Lucas approached.

Nate grinned and playfully exclaimed, "Hey!"

After Atticus had demonstrated his strength by securing first rank and excelling during their hunt, Nate fully grasped that Atticus was not someone to be trifled with.

Although he still felt a hint of caution, he became more at ease as he observed Atticus's relaxed demeanor.

Lucas's demeanor appeared more composed, "Hello, I'm Lucas. Can we join you?" he asked.
