Chapter 169 Massive

With a triumphant roar, "Yes! Show them! That\'s my boy!" he raised his right hand and clenched his fist. His eyes were fixed on Atticus\'s figure, streaking through the screen with incredible speed.

Avalon had been worried when he saw how low Atticus was in the rankings initially. Unlike the others in the coliseum who had been watching only the top tankers, Avalon, Anastasia, and Freya had been following Atticus the whole time.

They, of course, had also been watching Aurora\'s live footage too. But the baseline was that all knew why he had been so low in the rankings.

Anastasia shot her husband a peculiar look. Wasn\'t he being a bit too much? She was supposed to be the one to cheer for Atticus! But here he was, stealing her spotlight.

Anastasia narrowed her eyes, turning her gaze back at the screen. She stood up and started cheering loudly for Atticus too, trying hard to drown out Avalon\'s cheers.

Freya observed the playful competition between Avalon and Anastasia, shaking her head at their antics. She maintained a serene smile, enjoying the lively atmosphere within the booth.

The coliseum was divided into many parts, mostly due to the seating arrangements of the students in the coliseum.

Although this was to be expected, many of the students who sat together were mostly of the same family, each with almost the same distinct features.

Tier one families, distinguished by almost identical features, clustered at the top seats, encircling the entire coliseum

Almost every single one of them was cheering for their respective family members. The top 10 in the rankings were completely dominated by tier one family participants.

One might think that amongst the millions of youths participating, there should at least be one person, who wasn\'t part of any tiered family, that would break the status quo and enter the top 10.

But unfortunately, this was reality, not a web novel.

The tier one families were in total control of the human domain for a reason, one part was because of their overwhelming strength.

And another was because of their incredible talents. Sure, they might be able to maintain power now, but what about in the next generation? What would happen then?

The current figures in power, unfortunately, couldn\'t live forever and would eventually have to be replaced by the next generation.

The only way the tier one families were able to maintain their power for generations was because of the ability to constantly produce these replacements.

While it was still possible for a new powerful lineage to form, it wasn\'t something that happened even once a century.

On one side of these clusters of students, a group of white haired youth were all seated together.

Many of the Ravenstein youths present in the academy had been at the second and third year during Raven camp.

If Atticus were here, he would notice a lot of familiar faces amongst them.

For the second year, Sophie stood up, waving and screaming, cheering loudly. While for the third years, Orion, Hella, and even Helodor and William were present.

As soon as Atticus\'s name appeared as the second rank, many of the Ravenstein youths stood up and cheered loudly for him.

Many of them were still grateful that he had saved them during the attack on the Raven camp. They had all even questioned if the ranking was functioning well when they saw the monster they all knew wasn\'t even in the top 10, something had to be wrong somewhere.

In one corner of the group, an aloof young girl could be seen seated at the back. Her long white hair was tied into a ponytail, and her face still maintained her perfect doll like beauty.

Her hands were currently folded on her chest. She was the only one who didn\'t show any visible change in expression immediately after Atticus\'s name appeared as the 2nd rank.

But as the seconds ticked by, her gaze intently focused on Atticus\'s figure on the screen.

Ember\'s lips curled up into a slight smile, "Atticus."

Atticus\'s figure zipped through the terrain with insane speed.

He had been running and defeating different youths and beasts for a while now, and there were a lot of things Atticus had noticed during this time.

And out of all these things, one thing was certain: this forest that they dropped all of them in was massive, very massive.

After running for a while, Atticus had covered a great amount of distance, but even then he was very sure that he hadn\'t even covered 3% of the area.

Atticus, of course, could understand why they brought them all here. The youths in the human domain numbered in the millions. Only a place as big as this could be used to manage and test them.

Plus, apart from this, Atticus had also noticed something else. To encounter any youth, Atticus had to cross a certain distance before he could see one.

This led him to the assumption that each youth was placed at a considerable distance away from each other.

And the fact that this was done considering the fact that the youths numbered millions, proved even more how big the forest was.

If only they all focused on moving instead of fighting beasts, they would\'ve run into other participants eventually.

But Atticus had been very unlucky, having been placed in the same area as Isaac, making him waste a significant amount of time running around.

This was one of the main reasons he was using his sense of touch to feel everything within a 50 meter radius at all times, not relying on just his vision anymore.

There might be other members of the Nebulon family around; he had no intention of getting tricked once more. Although constantly using it was gradually consuming his mana, the consumption was very negligible.

Atticus continued his advance through the forest, easily defeating any youths and beasts he came across.
