Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Atticus Vs Aurora

This fight was what everyone had been waiting for. Almost everyone in camp knew that Aurora was Rowan's daughter and were initially surprised when an unknown boy got the 1st rank instead of her. This surprise, however, subsided when they found out Atticus's actual identity.

Elias and the other instructors also watched with rapt attention.

Elias smiled, 'Let's see how strong you are,' while gazing at Atticus.

Atticus met Aurora's gaze and calmly stood up, walking to the stage nonchalantly. All eyes were on the duo on the stage, curious to see who was stronger. They were both monsters who had reached intermediate- rank at the age of 10.

Even though Atticus had gotten the 1st rank, they still didn't believe he was stronger than Aurora as they hadn't fought yet.

Not caring about the looks, Atticus thought, 'Now how should I deal with this?' Although he had a score to settle with Rowan, it had nothing to do with Aurora.

He'd be lying if he said he hadn't considered taking it on Aurora, but he thought better of it, 'You're lucky I'm not wicked,' as he gazed at her. Atticus's vengeance only involved the perpetrator and any fool who tried to stand in the way, he wasn't one to take it out on innocents.

"Bring out your weapons!" Reed instructed.

'My katana would be overkill. I'll use water mimicry,' Atticus decided. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Although he was trying to keep some cards up his sleeves, using the element and the art was different. His movements would mimic the element, but it had no visual effects.

Only people of adequate strength would be able to tell that he was using the water aspect of the art, something only people with water elements could use.

Atticus knew that Rowan might be able to tell, but it didn't really matter. He was sure Helodor had already informed him that he had multiple elements, and adding one more wouldn't change much. Besides, Rowan couldn't do anything to him as he was bound by a mana contract.

Hearing the instructor's voice, Aurora promptly listened and brought out her weapon, a high-quality gauntlet that outshone Chubby's by a mile.

As she finished equipping, she looked up at the booth with a resolute expression and then glanced down at Atticus, who had yet to take out his weapon. "Won't you bring out your weapon?" She asked, bewildered.

"You should worry about yourself, Aurora," Atticus replied coolly.

Aurora was irritated by those words and muttered, "Suit yourself," with anger lacing her voice.

"Begin!" Reed declared.

Aurora's entire body suddenly ignited with fire, and she shot towards Atticus at a blistering speed.

Atticus stood there unfazed, stimulating his water bloodline with mana. Months of practice had cut down the time it took for the art to take effect, currently, he only needed a few seconds. He felt his body become freer and more flexible.

As Aurora drew nearer, she increased the concentration of fire around her hand and threw a punch that sliced through the air with intensity.

With the fluidity of water, Atticus used a backhanded palm technique akin to kung fu to redirect the punch. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. He capitalized on her momentum and grabbed her, slamming her on the ground, knocking the air out of her lungs.

Seeing Atticus's movements, Rowan's eyes narrowed into pinpricks. Finn, who stood behind him, spoke in absolute shock, "He can use three elements?"

Rowan didn't answer; he kept his intense gaze on Atticus. He knew how difficult it was to master Elemental Mimicry. Your talent played a significant role in mastering that art.
