Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675 Apex Recognition

During the few days of his recovery, Magnus hadn't visited Atticus. However, Atticus didn't feel any anger or resentment about this. He could still feel the man's presence, as though Magnus's stare could reach him even within the enclosed space of his room.

Atticus left his quarters and made his way to the upper section of the airship.

Along the way, he briefly spoke with Amara and other members of the crew. They had all heard about his condition and had paid him a visit to check on him.

It wasn't until they saw with their own eyes that he was truly okay that they each relaxed.

Atticus had helped them regain their lost spark, and the last thing they wanted was for him to meet his demise.

As Atticus reached the upper section and stood in front of Magnus's room, he took a deep breath. He always needed to prepare himself when stepping into a room where Magnus had been for a while. The shift in the atmosphere was always substantial.

The door parted open, and a wave of pressure hit Atticus, making his hair flutter. He stepped into the room, his body pausing as he adjusted to the weight of the air.

Atticus approached Magnus, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.

'This is more like a training room than a living space. Where does he even sleep?' he wondered.

The room was completely empty, without a single piece of furniture. Magnus's eyes opened, and he immediately scrutinized Atticus from head to toe.

"You've healed," Magnus stated.

"Yes, Grandfather. Though it took far too long," Atticus replied.

"Hm. Are you aware of what occurred?" Magnus asked.

Atticus nodded but said nothing else. However, he soon became weirded out as Magnus continued to stare at him without saying anything further.

'Is there something on my face?' Atticus thought, baffled.

The stare lasted for several seconds, and Atticus began to feel incredibly uncomfortable. 'What is going on?'

"Uh—" Atticus started to speak.

"Be more careful next time," Magnus finally said, but it was not what Atticus had expected. 'Was he trying to… scold me?'

Atticus almost burst out laughing. Magnus seemed like he wanted to scold him but had been searching for the right words or something.

"Yes, Grandfather," Atticus replied, bowing deeply with a smile on his face.

"I'm so close. I'm sure if I can meditate for a while longer inside the fire, I would be able to form it," Atticus added, eager to continue his training.

Magnus didn't respond immediately, and Atticus looked up from his bow to see Magnus staring at him again. 'Don't tell me he's going to ground me or something?'

If Magnus's intent had been to scold him, forbidding him from training for a while was at the top of the list of things he might do.

"You have to pause your training. We're already late," Magnus finally said.

"Late?" Atticus asked, baffled.

"Yes, late. Now that you're fully healed, we need to head to Sector 6," Magnus explained.

Atticus could practically feel his own confusion, and it was well warranted. He had no idea what was going on.
