Chapter 49: Thorough

Without hesitation, Atticus chose to take the initiative and launched his attack. He moved with incredible speed, closing the distance to the boy who had asked for the contract.

With a swift and powerful kick, Atticus struck the boy's face. It landed with a crunching sound, sending him flying through the air.

The other first years, realizing the danger, quickly responded "Attack him! Surround him, he's just one person!" They attempted to surround Atticus, relying on their numbers to overpower him.

As they attempted to close in on Atticus, one of them aimed a punch at him from behind. Atticus simply moved his head to the side, dodging it. With a quick and fluid motion, he seized the attacking fist, using his superior strength to lift the boy off his feet and slam him to the ground in front of him.
