Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 544

?And yet, despite all of this, despite how much of a legend they were, a member of their family, their young master, had actually landed a punch—not just any punch, but a punch so overwhelmingly powerful that it had sent the apex flying away!

The excitement they were each currently feeling was electric. That punch was none other than a score for humanity. The fists of those aboard the Aegis ship clenched hard, their gazes fixed on the figure of Atticus down below.

How the hell were they just finding out that they had such a monster in their family?

"Wait,"

The voice of one of the crew members suddenly sounded, many turning towards him. The man gulped as though what he was about to say was difficult.

"Does this mean that he went through the first year along with the other students?"

Their gazes widened. That monster was a first-year in the academy? They all knew this fact; they went to pick him up, after all. But with what he had just shown, it was hard to grapple with that reality.

Dario was trying his very best not to cry in joy. He had hit the jackpot! He was among the first subordinates of a true apex! There was no better position than this. He couldn't help but imagine his future. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Meanwhile, Yotad had a firm expression on his face as he gazed at Atticus. The Ravenblade were a loyal breed. He was truly proud to be serving a genius of such magnitude, but at the same time, he could see the enormous amount of problems that were going to come in the future. It would rest upon his shoulders to protect and support him in whatever would come their way.

A chuckle sounded in the space, serene as it was clear, "Interesting, interesting, the boy keeps on surprising me!"

Ae'zard turned towards Magnus with a smile on his face, "You signed the mana contract, which meant you kept your end of the bargain and didn't tell him anything about our race. And all it took was one minute! Hahaha!"

Ae'zard burst into laughter, his mirth resounding across the area. Among the clauses in the mana contract they had both signed, one had been to keep all information regarding the opponent their grandchildren were about to face completely secret.

This meant that Atticus hadn't known anything about the Aeonians before this, almost the same with Ae'ark.

The latter had, of course, known about other races, but not Atticus and humans in particular, not to the extent that it mattered, at least not yet. Ae'ark had been raised as the Apex of the Aeonians from a very young age; it was natural he would learn about his competitors. Of course, humanity hadn't been among them, until now.

Only Magnus among those present could understand exactly what Ae'zard meant. What had taken Atticus one minute to figure out and counter had taken years for the human domain to do the same.

Granted, they were just learning more about mana and its utilization, but it was such a stark contrast that it couldn't help but be shocking.

What had Atticus done? It was simple and straightforward. Since Ae'ark could copy his mana signature in an instant, Atticus simply had to envelop his fist with mana and then rapidly manipulate and change its signature with such speed that it would be impossible to mimic in such little time.

It would sound simple to many, but the knowledgeable knew just how insane it was that a 16-year-old had just done this. It wasn't something one could say outside and expect people to believe.

Magnus knew this fact very well, which was why it was incredibly hard for him to hide his excitement.
