Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground
-
chapter-151
Atticus and the others walked into the building, leaving the seething form of Jake outside.
The AquaHarvest was one of the most exquisite restaurants in Ravenspire, owned by a Grandmaster rank with branches all over the sector.
Only tiered families were allowed entry and served. And today, Caldor had rented the whole building just for them to hang out.
As they entered, they started walking down stairs, seemingly moving underground. Some of the guards had stayed behind, while about half still followed them.
Beck guided them down the stairs with a smile on his face. "Welcome to AquaHarvest," he said as they entered through a door, and they immediately came across an extremely captivating scene.Exquisite and luxurious tables adorned the space beneath a high ceiling, surrounded by a vast aquarium-like glass structure.
The ambient blue light from the water cast a serene glow over the hall, illuminating beautiful floor patterns.
Graceful magical beasts swam through the vast aquarium, their movements a mesmerizing dance beneath the enchanting ambiance of AquaHarvest.
'Amazing,' this was the only thing Atticus could think of. And with the way the others were gazing at the scene with open jaws, he was sure that it was the same thing going through their minds.
Beck's smile widened as he saw them gazing at the scene in awe. He knew all of them were from the main family, and this might be his best chance to form a connection with them.
He had no intention of letting this chance slip by. This was why he had personally come out to receive them.
After gazing at the scene for a few seconds, Beck beckoned them and started showing them around the place.The whole interior, apart from where the chairs were, was an aquarium. There were no walls, not even ceilings, simply thick glass with a vast blue sea on the other side.
One would never suspect such a vast area was underneath the small building.
Caldor simply stared at the group with a huge grin on his face. "Awesome, right?"
They all nodded absentmindedly, admiring the scene, Atticus included. He too was completely captivated by the sight; it was just too breathtaking! 'I should start going out more often,' Atticus thought.
It had just dawned on him that he was in a magical world. In just the human domain alone, there were 10 different sectors, each with its own unique characteristics. He was truly missing out on a lot of things.
Beck kept guiding the group until they all started moving down a procession of stairs again, and after a few seconds, a hatch slid open as Beck and the group got closer.
Beck's smile widened as he directed the group's attention to the vast expanse of the open pool shimmering in every direction. "This is the highlight of AquaHarvest—the spectacle everyone eagerly anticipates."
"These pools are filled with the most exquisite magical marine beasts in the human domain. And here in AquaHarvest, you eat what you catch," Beck said and clapped.
Suddenly, a sleek metallic structure emerged from beside them. Beck confidently approached it, scanned the device, causing it to unfold, revealing four round orbs inside.
With a smooth motion, he retrieved one orb for each person in the group.
"Young masters and ladies, if you channel your mana into them, it'll transform into a suit suitable for use in water," Beck explained.
Atticus looked at the orb with intrigue. No matter how hard he tried, knowing every single artifact in the human domain was pretty much impossible.
There were simply too many artifacts out there, with numerous people creating more innovative types every day.
Before Atticus could examine the orb well, his attention was taken by Caldor, who had already channeled mana into the orb as soon as he was given it.
His whole body was suddenly enveloped from head to toe with a black suit, leaving the part covering his face transparent for clear vision.
Seeing that Caldor had already worn his, Ember and Aurora also channeled their mana into the orb and were immediately enveloped in the same way as Caldor, leaving only Atticus.
Atticus sighed. He really wanted to examine the orb. Choosing to leave it for later, he dropped his katana on the floor and also channeled mana into the orb.
It let out a low glow, and a black suit emerged from the orb, swirling and started covering Atticus's form, starting from his hands. In less than a second, his whole body was covered. Then he picked up his katana and strapped it back on his waist.
The suit felt extremely comfortable, and Atticus could tell that it was airtight. It was perfect for swimming.
There was a rune etched just above the neck area of the suit, and Atticus surmised that that was what supplied the air.
Beck continued his explanation, "As I said before, we'll cook for you whatever you catch. You don't have to worry about safety; the highest-ranked beast in the water is Novice rank, and there are lots of safety measures taken so you can hunt without any problems."
Everyone nodded in understanding, and before anyone could react, Caldor sprinted toward the pool's edge and leaped into the water with a boisterous "Cannonball!"
His impact sent a massive blast of water in every direction, engulfing the area. Beck and the other master ranks subtly released their auras, stopping the water from touching them.
Atticus couldn't help but smirk, 'He used his bloodline,' he thought.
Without wasting time, Atticus also ran and jumped into the water.
Seeing both Atticus and Caldor, Aurora and Ember also joined in. They had all gone through the Raven camp, and all of them knew how to swim.
Inside the water, Atticus and Caldor moved swiftly, swimming rapidly from one place to another. Both of them had the water element, so it was easy for them to maneuver underwater.
It was very beautiful underwater, basically another world. Beautiful magical beasts swam gently across the water.. It was truly an enjoyable sight.
As Atticus enjoyed the feeling of swimming in the water, he suddenly turned his gaze towards Aurora and Ember, who were swimming gently behind.
Atticus grin widened, and he zoomed towards their direction. Focusing on the water element, the water around Aurora and Ember started swirling.
They both immediately noticed something was wrong. And as they turned their gaze, they saw Atticus with a huge grin. Ember immediately acted, freezing the water around her to get out of Atticus's hold, leaving only Aurora.
"Atticus!" Aurora's underwater cry echoed, revealing that the suit enabled speech underwater.
The water swirled around Aurora, forming a mini water tornado in the water, spinning Aurora countless times.
Atticus chuckled at the sight, and after a few seconds, he released his control over the water.
Aurora felt dizzy and disoriented for a few moments before she shook her head to clear the dizziness.
Her gaze immediately landed on Atticus, who was a few meters away from her. The water around her started to bubble as the temperature spiked, her piercing red eyes bore into Atticus.
Aurora focused on her bloodline and propelled herself towards Atticus, who, seeing this, immediately turned, utilizing the water bloodline to zoom away from Aurora.
"You!! How dare you run!" Aurora's voice sounded from behind as she kept chasing Atticus. Caldor was freely chuckling while Ember watched the drama with a smile.
After a few moments, they each found a beast, killed it, and handed it over to the AquaHarvest staff to cook. And that day, Atticus ate what he would consider the best fish meal in the world.
A few hours later, after their meal, jokes, and laughs, they all left the restaurant and headed back to the estate after a long day of fun.
Upon reaching the estate, they all retired to their rooms to rest. After a few hours and dinner, Atticus once again stood in front of Magnus's imposing figure, ready for another round of training.
Magnus gazed at Atticus, who was donned in his training suit. Without uttering a word, lightning materialized and struck Atticus right on the forehead, causing the usual disorientation and the hateful inky blackness.
And immediately, lightning bolts materialized in front of Magnus and were shot one by one towards Atticus.
Having learned his lesson, Atticus wasn't one to fall for the same trick. As soon as he lost his vision, he focused on his ears, listening intently to any sound in the area.
As soon as he caught the familiar blitzing sound in the air, he darted to the side, evading the lightning bolt.
He kept listening, dodging, and adapting constantly until not a single lightning bolt was able to hit him again.
If it were an ordinary person training Atticus, they would have been astonished at the fast rate he was able to adapt and get used to this.
It was truly something that would have astonished many in the human domain, but even with all that, Magnus's expression remained unchanged, as if already expecting this development.
After a few minutes of Atticus successfully dodging the lightning bolts, Magnus suddenly stopped.
"Good. You've adapted well," Magnus spoke.
Hearing this, Atticus stood up straight and turned towards Magnus's direction.
"You have learned how to use your ears; now we shall move to how to feel."
