After a few hours of intense training and absorbing mana, Atticus stopped his training and headed back to camp.
As usual on the way, Atticus went on another rampage in the forest, locating and quickly dispatching different beasts.
He chose a different direction from the last time, and after this rampage, he earned himself another 50 thousand academy points.
After a few minutes, Atticus reached the campgrounds. Just like yesterday, it was already late at night, and Atticus immediately decided to retire to his room.
But before he did that, Atticus first went to Zara and Raila and transferred the recordings of their respective blacksmith and alchemy classes to his artifact.
They both panicked a bit when they saw Atticus coming to collect it himself; it was very surprising considering his status in the camp and even outside.
But Atticus had no time for theatrics and simply collected what he came for and gave Zara a few beast carcasses and Raila academy points.
While he could collect the videos from them remotely, he would still have to give Zara and Healer their things, which couldn’t be done remotely.
Plus, he didn’t mind because it gave him the opportunity to walk around the camp and see what was happening.
Listening in on the conversation of the students, even if they were whispering and it was from a long distance, was child’s play for Atticus.
After that, he headed straight to his room.
Atticus indulged himself in a very long shower that lasted for several minutes.
Coming out of the bathroom, he wiped himself off and changed into very comfortable robes.
He moved to his bed and sat down cross legged on it.
The artifact each of the students was given upon their entry into the academy truly made life easier for the students.
It was a very useful and advanced piece of technology. Every single thing the students would need was easily accessible from the artifact.
Any goods could be bought from the academy store and any questions they might have answered by the oracle.
It made life easier for the academy and the students at the same time.
Atticus was really curious about who had invented such a revolutionary technology. .𝒎
Because of the artifact, what Atticus had requested from Zara and Raila were promptly made and delivered to him.
Many would wonder just why Atticus had asked them both to record their classes.
Those people would, of course, be incredibly dumb because the answer was obvious. He simply wanted to learn blacksmithing and alchemy.
The beasts’ parts Atticus had at hand were truly staggering. Bones, teeth, claws, furs, and more! All in the thousands. .
These were all materials that would be incredibly useful in both blacksmithing and alchemy. And yet, they were all wasting away inside his storage ring. It was a huge waste.
Blacksmithing. Atticus already had his one true weapon; it was a weapon that would grow with him no matter how powerful he got, intricately linked to him.
This meant that Atticus most likely wouldn’t need a weapon again, and yet, he still felt that learning blacksmithing was necessary.
Alchemy. Having a variety of potions would truly be useful in battle, but just like potions could be made, practically all of them could be bought.
Let’s not forget that Atticus was from a tier one family; he was incredibly rich.
Just one word was all that was needed for him to get any potion he wanted. He wasn’t lacking in that aspect.
And this was the same thing with the blacksmithing profession; he could get almost every weapon in the human domain with just a word.
The world was a dangerous place and anything could happen at any time. It was better to be overly prepared than ill-prepared.
Atticus before hadn’t seen the need to learn the blacksmithing and alchemy professions, and the only reason he had learned rune engraving in the first place was that he had seen the incredible potential it had in changing the scale of battles.
It was unlike blacksmithing and alchemy, whose abilities weren’t directly related to fighting.
But he currently had an insane amount of resources that he wouldn’t want to waste.
Atticus clicked on his device, navigating to where the files of both the blacksmithing and alchemy videos were located.
Without wasting a single moment, he started with blacksmithing first and played the video.
Each of the videos had lasted the entire duration of the class, which was about 5 hours, but Atticus obviously didn’t have more than 10 hours to spend only watching videos regardless of how important they were.
It was simply a major waste of time.
So he did something not many his age had the luxury of doing; he increased his perception of time to a high level, making the world slow, then he increased the speed at which the videos were being played.
This allowed Atticus to shorten the watching time of 10 hours of both videos to a shocking 3 minutes. It was truly remarkable.
This was simply one of the advantages of having a high perception.
Atticus closed his device after listening to each of the lectures in such a short duration.
Normally, he would have taken an extra minute to try and comprehend and ponder on the details that were discussed during each lecture, but Atticus hadn’t seen a need to do that here.
None of them had gotten to the main aspects of their professions yet. They only each briefly explained the importance and history of both the blacksmithing and alchemy professions.
Atticus had already read the beginner Blacksmithing book, and during his free time yesterday when he had decided to learn both professions, he had bought the beginner alchemy book too.
He was already well-versed in everything a beginner should know about both professions, including their history.
Which meant that he hadn’t learned anything new from watching these videos.
Seeing that they hadn’t started anything worthwhile, Atticus decided to drop the topic for now. He couldn’t learn anything today.
‘This can’t work. It’ll be better to pile up the video and watch everything at once. It would be more effective that way,’ Atticus decided.
