Chapter 376 4 Minutes
Unlike before where everyone had been facing the large terminal, each of the division members were facing the location where a small building of the control room the academy provided for each division at the beginning of any battle was supposed to be.
The entire camp was enveloped in palpable silence as each of the division members stared at each other in disbelief.
What had just happened? It had finished so fast that none of them even had a chance to do anything.
The Ravenstein youths also mirrored this same feeling. Aurora stood with her hands crossed on her chest while she gazed at Atticus, who was standing beside her with a smile as she shook her head. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Lucas's expression was unbothered, while Nate and the other Ravenstein youths were thoroughly sad, their expressions as though they had just been robbed of something very important.
The third division battle had just ended, and neither one of them had even lifted a single finger to fight. Even worse, they hadn't even seen their enemies!
The only thing they had time to see was the theme and rules of the battle.
To understand what had just happened, we would need to go back a few minutes ago.
As soon as the bright light enveloped the whole camp, each of them was transported along with the camp.
After a few seconds, Aurora opened her eyes and found herself facing the same black spire of the camp. She turned her gaze around, trying to get her bearings.
"You had better let us fight in this one," Aurora commented with a small sigh.
She had always been looking forward to the division battles because she would get to fight, but Atticus would always end up easily defeating the majority of the opposing forces.
This had happened during all the division battles they had fought so far!
'Huh?' Aurora suddenly noticed something. Seconds had passed, and the expected response hadn't arrived yet.
Aurora turned her gaze back to her front where a particular white-haired boy should have been standing.
Many of the Ravenstein youths instinctively turned their gazes towards Lucas. They knew that aside from Atticus, Lucas was basically the next smartest person amongst them. He would be the most logical choice.
But before any of them could start debating on who should lead, "I will lead," they all turned their gazes to the side to see Aurora, whose demeanor had suddenly changed, her form oozing with authority.
"Is there any problem with that?" Aurora inquired, her eyebrow raised.
Aurora's change was so sudden that it baffled each of them, and Atticus wouldn't be an exception if he were here.
She had always been... difficult, but that had always been with Atticus. Aurora hardly ever related to the other Ravenstein youths, not excluding Lucas and Nate.
"I also think that's the best option," Lucas added, supporting Aurora. To him, it didn't really matter who led the division; they were all going to plan together anyways.
The other Ravenstein youths also started agreeing to Aurora leading them temporarily until Atticus gets back. Many of them didn't actually mind; she was the second strongest in their group anyways. They were a strong believer of the strongest should rule.
Seeing that there were no objections, "Good, let's go check the rules," Aurora instructed, instantly turning as she started walking towards the already formed control room at the side.
Nate happily followed behind her while humming a tune. He hadn't even given a care about the temporary leader's position.
The rest of the division members remained outside and on standby as the Ravenstein youths made their way into the building.
After a few seconds, they found themselves inside the control room, standing around the small obsidian table.
And then, without further ado, Aurora clicked on the rules, and the obsidian table lit up and displayed it for all to see.
After a few seconds, each of their eyes widened as they finished reading the rules.
Nate's happy expression instantly morphed into an unwilling expression as he muttered under his breath,
"Shit."
