Chapter 112: Leader

Atticus came out of his thoughts to see Ember, Aurora, and the rest of the trainees approaching him.

He couldn't react as suddenly a petite girl collided with his already struggling form, making him fall on his back.

Atticus felt a huge wave of pain wrack his body, and despite not being a stranger to pain, he couldn't help but let out a low grunt.

He looked down at his chest to see the source of his problems: Aurora, who hugged him with her face buried in his chest.

As he was about to complain, he suddenly felt wetness on his chest where Aurora's head was buried.

Atticus let out a warm smile at Aurora's quiet sobbing. He raised his hand, giving her gentle pats on her head. 'She must have been worried,' he thought.

However, he just couldn't resist, "You were always a crybaby," he teased Aurora with a chuckle.
