Non-Combatants

Atticus turned his gaze to see Lucas approaching him with a group of 50 youths in tow.

"These are the youths who can't fight. What do you want to do with them?" Lucas asked as he got close to Atticus.

Many of the youths accompanying Lucas were a bit shocked at how casually he addressed Atticus.

Lucas was an easy figure to remember, especially when he was practically the only one among the Ravenstein youths who wore glasses.

Compared to the others, many remembered his performance during the battle with the horde being underwhelming. They had all assumed that he was the weakest amongst them. 

"Thanks," Atticus simply nodded. Unlike what most people would think, Atticus truly didn't care about all those useless formalities.

From the way the Ravenstein youth acted around him, it was clear as day that they all respected him.

Most of them still even addressed him as 'young master,' which honestly sounded cringe as hell to him.
