Chapter 256 Rich
Atticus took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing. He cleared his head of all distractions and pondered on what to do next.
'An advanced training facility would be the best way to solve this issue, but the division points needed are way too high. If only I could use academy points instead of division points.'
The academy points Atticus had gathered were truly staggering, especially compared to his division points. Even with the winnings from the division battle added, it still fell short of the academy points he had gathered.
Unfortunately, of the buildings Atticus could buy with his academy points, an advanced training facility wasn't amongst them, a fact that annoyed him to his core.
'Let's see how much I've progressed first.'
"Status," Atticus muttered, and a holographic interface materialized in front of him.

=============
Gazing at his stats, Atticus was right on the mark when he said that the month had truly been an inactive one.
His stats hadn't progressed much during this one month, with only a few increases. His only major improvement was with his will.
Despite it only increasing by 3 points, Atticus knew how much of a monumental leap those 3 points were.
'I can't keep wasting my time like this,' Atticus had every intention of changing this problem this coming month.
He didn't have enough for an advanced training facility for now, but that should change after the next division wars.
But he would have to look for a temporary replacement for now; he didn't want to waste another one month.
Atticus's gaze shifted towards his bloodline section. They had each hardly progressed, just like the rest of his other stats.
Although he had used his elements extensively during this one month, the best way to increase one's proficiency in the elements was to immerse oneself in the environment that said elements thrived in.
Atticus had remained in his room for a whole 3 weeks; it was no surprise that it hardly budged.
But just as he was browsing through, his eye suddenly landed on his space element.
'What the hell…'
The space element was the only element Atticus hadn't been able to unlock.
He had initially been very excited about the thought of having the space element the moment he saw it, but with the hellish training with Magnus and training every single one of his elements and arts, Atticus had been a little overwhelmed.
He hadn't really paid much attention to it before, but now before his eyes, his space element had finally increased.
Atticus was sure that this had happened recently. He had checked his system interface back when they were taking the test, so he was very sure that this change had just occurred.
'It should work,' Atticus thought.
What was the one thing he needed to unlock his bloodline elements? That's right, exposure!
But unfortunately, the space element was different from the other elements he had gotten so far. They were all very easy to get exposed to.
And looking at his increased numbers, a great idea suddenly sprung up in Atticus's head.
It wasn't hard to figure out that it was because of all the teleportation he'd been doing that increased his exposure numbers.
So given this, the plan Atticus had come up with was so simple he felt stupid he hadn't thought of it before: runes.
But not those engraved by himself; he would purchase already engraved runes directly from the academy store.
Atticus would buy a lot of teleportation runes, spam and keep using them until his exposure numbers reached the required amount needed to unlock the space element! It was truly straightforward.
Atticus would rather buy than engrave by himself. For one; it would be faster and more efficient and well, he's rich.
'Finally found a way to make use of the academy points,' Atticus thought.
He had been searching for what to buy in the first place, and seeing as this would allow him to unlock his space element, Atticus decided to go through with this.
He swiftly clicked on his device, navigating to the runes section. Atticus instantly spotted what he was looking for.
**
Teleportation Rune (Grade 1)
Upon channeling mana, this rune instantaneously teleports any individual within a 30 meter radius away from their original position.
Price: 10,000 Academy Points.
**
Despite how rich he was, Atticus couldn't help but open his mouth wide as he saw the price of the teleportation rune.
'10,000 academy points for a grade one rune? These prices are exorbitant,'
It was far too much!
But after thinking about it for a while, it was understandable.
'Runes like this are basically cheats in events like division battles. Only a person of significant strength would be able to gather that many points, and such people are in the minority,'
The academy was clearly trying to dissuade too many students from relying on runes by making their prices sky-high.
If they made it cheap and allowed a lot of people to buy it, it would tip the scales of the battles somewhat as many wouldn't rely on their strengths again.
Atticus navigated out of the runes section to see how much he had, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the numbers,
Academy points: 2,345,400 AP.
