Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground
Chapter 355 Lucky BastardMost of them were practically jealous.
Apart from the fact that both of them were basically the most attractive first years in the academy, whether boys or girls, many of them wanted so badly to switch places with either Atticus or Zoey.
'Hmph, ugly bastard,' Lila commented inwardly while subtly looking at Atticus and Zoey. Since the first time that incident had occured, Lila had always made sure not to stare intensely at Atticus.
'What's so special about her?' She turned her gaze towards Zoey next, scrutinizing her intently for a few seconds. She had no issues staring intently at Zoey 'I'm prettier,' Lila thought after a second of scrutiny.
Apart from Lila, there appeared to be no other tier one students looking at them. In fact, the tier one area appeared calm compared to the rest of the classroom.
None of them had fought each other yet, so they were the only ones who had no reason to hate each other, except for the fact that they were competitors.
But today, Atticus could notice a slight difference in the gazes of the other students.
A particular grey haired youth with orange eyes sat down on a seat not far away from the last row where the tier one students were seated, his gaze icy as he faced the front.
The students sitting beside him, despite some of them still being angry about their losses, each of them waering frowns on their faces, they couldn't help but gaze at Eeus with complete pity.
The boy truly was pitiful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSome of them were still on speaking terms, especially with the students they hadn't fought with. And as they got to class, these particular students had asked who Eeus had fought with.
As soon as Eeus narrated his traumatic experience, all of them involuntarily shuddered.
He was even more powerful than they had imagined!
After a few minutes of absorbing the story, their shocked looks turned into ones of pity.
Eeus was angry, he was seething but despite this, his gaze remained focused at the front. Others might want to look at Atticus with anger and hate, but Eeus was glad that he wasn't stupid.
After personally witnessing what Atticus was capable of, he would truly have to be stupid to start something with him.
Eeus's traumatic experience had spread throughout the class already, and with the gazes they were all using to look at Atticus, it was obvious that Atticus had been tagged as untouchable.
Atticus and Zoey found their seats after a few seconds, with Atticus giving Kael a nod as he sat down beside him.
Not long after, Isabella, with her professional gait, walked into the classroom, the soft murmurs and clatters coming to an abrupt stop.
Isabella walked to the middle of the classroom and faced the students.
She instantly noticed the downcast expressions on each of their faces. Isabella sighed softly,
'How bothersome.' She knew that she had to do something.
She couldn't teach them like this so she decided to address them before they began the class.
"Congratulations on completing your second division war. I know many of you, especially the students who lost in the battles, are currently feeling bad," Isabella's words made some of them clench their fists and lower their heads as they were reminded of their loss.
But Isabella ignored them and continued,
"But I just want you to know one thing: the division wars occur on a monthly basis, which means you still have 10 more chances to make a comeback. Feeling sad and brooding now instead of trying to get stronger and improve will be the greatest mistake you could ever make in your life," Isabella said firmly.
The students with their heads lowered and sad looks turned to face upwards, their eyes burning with determination. Isabella's words had resonated within them.
She was right.
They all still had 10 more chances to make a comeback. As long as they worked hard and weren't as gravely unlucky as Eeus, then everything should turn out okay.
Seeing that each of them got pumped, Isabella smiled satisfactorily. 'Heh, looks like I still got it,'
Isabella pretended as though she wanted to look at each of the students in order to check the expression of a particular white haired boy, and upon seeing the expressionless look on his face, Isabella sighed.
'Of course you don't care. You're the one making them lose hope in the first place!'
Isabella subtly shook her head and decided to start teaching the class. After five intense hours, Isabella ended the class and immediately left the room after a subtle look at Atticus.
As soon as she left, Atticus instantly turned toward Zoey on his left, and before the latter could even react, Atticus moved at a speed she found it hard to follow and suddenly landed a peck on her cheek, shocking the living daylights out of her as her form froze.
"I have an important training today so I'll have to go first," Atticus quickly said with a sheepish smile on his face.
Without even waiting for a response, he swiftly nodded his goodbye to Kael and instantly left the classroom.Zoey hadn't even registered anything that Atticus had said, her hands moving slowly to touch the spot where Atticus had just kissed. One could only imagine how shocked she currently was.
But then again, despite what many would think, Zoey wasn't the most shocked about Atticus's actions; it was 100% the students.
What did this mean!? Were the both of them dating already!?
The boys in the class were the most visibly shocked as each of them opened their mouths wide.
There was not a single one of them who currently didn't want to be in Atticus's shoes.
As the first years started seeing Atticus together with Zoey, many of them had initially thought it was okay to approach.
But Zoey had always shut them down with her icy stare before they could even speak.
They each couldn't help but mutter, "Lucky bastard."
