Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

After the altercation between the Ravenstein family and the Nebulon family, all of the first years found their way to class after a few minutes.Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

Every single one of them was talking about the same thing: the Ravenstein and the Nebulon family. Were they going to war? What had happened? If the first years were fighting, what would happen to the higher years?

Families, especially the tiered ones, weren't so united; there was a lot of dissatisfaction among some of their members. But regardless, when they were threatened by outside forces, they would all come together.

This had been what the Ravenstein had done, and it was the same for the other tier one families.

The first-year Ravenstein youths had attacked and brutally tortured members of the Nebulon family in front of everyone.

Many of the students were curious: what would happen when the higher years found out about the situation?

Aurora arrived at her class after a few minutes, her cold gaze through her black glasses instantly scanning the entirety of the classroom.

Unfortunately, she didn't have super-powered perception like Atticus, but she was still able to accomplish this feat in under a minute.

After scanning the classroom, she wasn't able to find the youth she was looking for, Zephyr. Atticus had already told her who he suspected was responsible for her ambush.

Despite looking everywhere on her way here, she hadn't seen any signs of him. The thought of him hiding himself with an illusion didn't even cross her mind.

There was a reason she and every other Ravenstein youth were wearing these black glasses over their eyes. And it definitely wasn't for decoration.

Ever since his battle against Zephyr during the academy entrance test, Atticus had found out just how the Nebulon family youth created their illusions.

He had no idea of the process and couldn't even replicate it if he tried, but Atticus knew that the major ingredient was mana.

They manipulated the mana in the surrounding and used it to fool their target's senses. It was as easy as that.

This couldn't work on Atticus because he could feel the true mana in the surrounding, courtesy of his incredible perception. But Aurora and the rest of the Ravenstein youths didn't have this luxury, and this was why Atticus had immediately ventured into the academy store when he saw that the battle with the Nebulon youths was inevitable.

These glasses were called the ManaClear glasses. And their effect was pretty straightforward. They simply neutralized the effects of mana on the wearer in their field of vision. The meaning was clear: the wearer would see and only see what was physically there.

These glasses, of course, weren't absolute; in fact, they weren't even made for the purpose of seeing past illusions. But as Atticus browsed through the academy shop, he came across this item and immediately bought it after unleashing a massacre in the forest and gaining points.

And lo and behold, it worked perfectly. Atticus had also given the Ravenstein youths a few items, each of them aimed at making sure they were well prepared.

Seeing as Zephyr hadn't shown up, Aurora went to her seat and sat down like nothing was happening.

The youths who had previously been seated beside or behind her had all already moved far away from their seats before she even entered the classroom. The tier ones weren't excluded.

The majority still had no idea why the Ravenstein had done that to the Nebulon family, and they had no intention of being next.

At one side of the classroom sat a white haired girl who gazed at her front coldly, both her arms crossed on her chest. Her immediate surroundings' seats were empty as each of the students sat at a distance from her, most of them murmuring and whispering.

A certain red-haired boy fixed his gaze on Aurora's form, a smirk playing on his lips.

As the door of the classroom opened, Lark turned his gaze away from Aurora and faced his front.

…

As soon as the lectures for the day ended, Isabella left the classroom immediately followed by the rest of the class. They had all heard what Atticus had said to the Nebulon family youth and knew he would want to use the classroom to talk to him.

Each of the tier one youths had darkened expressions as they streamed out of the classroom. Atticus had just enslaved another tier one.

Although this was far from the first time students were being enslaved, this instance was different. He had done it to a tier one, one who was the leader of a division!

Of course, the academy was far from being stupid. Even though they allowed members of other division youths get enslaved, the same was different for the leaders. It came with a lot of restrictions.

And it was this same restriction that Atticus had gotten when the Nebulon youth had signed the contract.

If a leader signed an enslavement contract, the enslaver could not ask said leader to perform any action that would be detrimental to his/her division.

Atticus could ask for any information contained in his head, even about his division, but he couldn't force him to sabotage his division.

Plus, the fact that any academy contract becomes obsolete during the division wars. Basically, Atticus had no power over the Nebulon youth during any division wars against him or another person.

But the fact that he had enslaved a tier one seemed to make them realize that the same could happen to them.

There was nothing stopping him from doing it. It had long since been determined that Atticus was out of their league.

Kael stood up straight and yawned for a bit before he turned towards Atticus, meeting his gaze. And with a short nod, he left the room.

Now, only Atticus, Zoey, and the Nebulon youth remained in the room.

"Come," Atticus's cold voice suddenly sounded across the classroom, and the trembling form of the Nebulon youth knelt down in front of him in the next instant.
