Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 289 Not Now

?289 Not Now

Many would wonder, just why was Atticus going through such trouble.

Why didn't he just purchase all the books related to both the blacksmithing and alchemy and professions or at the very least pay for the classes and attend the lectures himself?

The answers to both were obvious. For the former, it was simply because regardless of how detailed any of the books he purchased and read were, it would always fall short of being taught by an actual experienced teacher.

Especially one that had been in the trade for decades.

No matter how much he read, there would be a lot of missing information in the process, information that would most definitely be useful in either of the professions.

And as for the latter, the answer was also obvious. He was already being forced to attend one class for 5 whole hours.

Although Atticus had been entranced with the topic being talked about and the way the teacher taught, it was still 5 hours out of his day.

And Atticus had no intention of spending an extra 10 hours sitting down in class and listening to someone speak, regardless of how interesting said person was.

Instead, it was better to simply watch the videos of each class, especially when this was done in just under 5 minutes.

'I wonder why the academy left such a huge loophole,'

Although Atticus considered himself to be smart, he didn't see what he was currently doing as such.

To him, it was a loophole that was so obvious that it was practically impossible for the academy to not be aware of it. It would be a major embarrassment.

Which meant that they were well aware of this loophole but still chose to ignore it and let the students do what they wanted.

'At this point, anyone paying for extra lessons has to be the biggest fool in Eldoralth,' Atticus released a slight chuckle. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Even though he said this, Atticus was still 100% sure that there would still be students like that.

Some goody two-shoes would be well aware of this loophole but would still choose to pay for and attend the classes personally.

While some would simply be so stupid that they wouldn't notice a loophole this obvious.

Seeing that there was not much to learn, Atticus decided to drop everything and sleep.

The next day, Atticus woke up early with a large yawn. He headed into the bathroom to wash his face and immediately wore his training suit afterward.

Then Atticus followed his usual routine and headed to the caves to start his training.

Unlike the past two times when Atticus had completed his individual objective during the evening times, he decided to do it in the morning this time around.

He activated the mana block feature, and after running for 10 KM, Atticus deactivated it immediately.

Even though Atticus had run without mana, contrary to what many would expect, there was not a drop of sweat on him.

Atticus didn't even look as though he had done anything strenuous. This was simply years upon years of training showing its effects.

On the way to the caves, Atticus went on another rampage around the forest, killing numerous beasts and gaining another multitude of points.

After that, he got to the caves after a few minutes and immediately started his training routine. A routine mostly filled by the painful screeches of the shadow Seraphon.

He then absorbed mana and engraved his 16 runes for the day.

After a few intense hours, Atticus stopped his training and headed back to the camp.

He chose another direction to take and unleashed another massacre in the forest.

Getting to the camp, Atticus went straight to his room and freshened up, indulging himself in another long shower, an simply meditated on his bed afterward.

When it was time for the scheduled lecture, Atticus got dressed, putting on another trench coat, and headed outside his room and to the black spire.

After a few minutes, Atticus found himself inside the usual pristine white room.

Walking out of the room, he saw Kael already outside looking in his direction and the figure of a purple-haired girl slightly ahead walking away.

Atticus locked eyes with Kael who pointed his head to the departing figure of Zoey, clearly asking him to approach her.

Atticus smiled slightly and shook his head multiple times, "Not now," he whispered, also pointing his eyes in the direction of where the other tier one youths had come out from their room and started walking down the hallway.

Kael slightly shook his head, "Scaredy cat," he muttered.

But regardless of how low Kael's voice was, there was no way Atticus would miss it. Atticus awkwardly chuckled, "We'll be late for class," he said, and without waiting for a response, he quickly started walking down the hall.

Kael shook his head while gazing at Atticus, and then he followed, catching up with Atticus in a few moments.

The walk down the hall was eerily quiet, with only the sound of multiple footsteps sounding.

Atticus and Kael were at the back, and in front of them were the figures of the other tier one youths.

Some other students had already also come out from their room and were walking in their fronts.

Many of them tried to walk faster so they would be able to avoid dealing with the group of monsters behind them.

Each of the tier ones walked in silence and wore cold faces. The only person who was all smiles and looking around as though a child entering a new place for the first time was Seraphin.

He looked as though he wanted to speak, but considering how close of a proximity he was to the others and how enclosed the current space they were in, even he knew he'd be seeking a total beatdown if he were to speak here.

Apart from Kael and Lila, Atticus hadn't had any interaction with the other tier one youths; each of them chose to keep to themselves.

If not for Atticus and Kael who were together, none of the tier ones would even be talking with each other.

They got to the classroom after a few moments, and Isabella walked in and started teaching the class.

After 5 hours, Atticus and Kael left the classroom, met and hung out with Ember for a while before he headed to his division to continue his intense routine.
