Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 I don't Need Your Pity

The next day, Atticus woke up and went through his normal routine before heading to the morning training session as usual.

He met Nate and Lucas on the training ground, and they exchanged brief greetings with him.

Nate, after losing to Erik, seemed to have been humbled. He was not as boastful as usual, appearing calm and quiet, occasionally looking at Erik with determination.

Lucas, though, was happy about Nate's changed attitude. He had grown frustrated with always having to rein him in whenever he wanted to do something foolish. Despite this change being at the cost of Nate's loss, he was still glad about his friend's change.

Atticus briefly shifted his gaze away from the duo and scanned the training grounds, searching for a particular red-eyed girl.

However, no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find her. Despite waiting until 6:00 AM, Aurora had yet to appear.

'She missed today's training session too,' Atticus noted.

At exactly 6:00 AM, Elias as usual walked into the training grounds and immediately commenced their training session.

Throughout the course, Atticus was completely lost in thought, struggling to understand the nagging feeling that persisted in his consciousness.

Despite being distracted, he still reached the starting line first, leaving the rest of the trainees in his dust.

Upon reaching the finish line, Atticus began walking away before Elias even spoke. Elias didn't stop him, seeing no need to do so.

After the training session, Atticus returned to his room and took a shower. But despite feeling refreshed physically, something continued to bother his consciousness.

In an effort to dispel the unsettling feeling, he decided to train. Upon entering the training room, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began meditating, attempting to clear his mind.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes in frustration.

'What's wrong with me?' he thought.

He closed his eyes again and tried to focus inwardly, repeating in his mind, 'Concentrate, concentrate.'

However, after a few moments without any progress, the nagging feeling still persisted.

"Fuck," he muttered and stood up, leaving his room.

Later that night, Aurora, with her usual struggling gait, leaned on the walls of the camp building to support herself as she made her way toward her room.

As she reached the end of one building, she paused, looking at another building a few feet away. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself, 'You can do it, Aurora.'

She left the support of the building and began walking toward the next, her legs wobbling, each step causing pain to course through her body.

Before she got halfway there, a voice broke through the silence, "Do you want to keep doing this?" The voice asked, emanating from the space between the two buildings.

Aurora's eyes widened. She always waited until nighttime to go to her room for two reasons: to rest after the grueling training and to avoid other trainees seeing her battered form.

Aurora's heart skipped a beat, 'He knows.' _{freёweɓnovel.com}
