God of Tricksters

Chapter 126 - A Scheme?

While the group had mixed feelings about their achievement in becoming a participant for the last stage, there was one person who made a fuss about it.

It was none other than Laust's Father, Endo Lange. He sat down in his office and looked at the report about the school.

Someone knocked on the door and opened it right after, revealing a middle-aged man in a butler suit. He brought tea, walked to Endo Lange, and put the cup down on the corner of the table.

"This is your tea, Master."

Endo Lange didn't answer him and paused for a moment. Before the butler left him alone, he finally opened his mouth. "What is that trash's status? I heard he has reached the third stage."

The butler felt pain in his heart, hearing his Master calling his own son trash. Even so, he didn't retaliate or comment on anything. He simply answered his question. "Yes. Young Master has reached the next stage. There are still two weeks before the third stage of training officially starts. Young Master—"

Before he finished, Endo Lange stopped him by waving his hand and asked coldly, "I want to see his team members. I don't need anything else. They are useless to me."

The butler fell silent for a minute before taking out his Skylink to send him the list. He already knew that this information would become another controversy in his eyes.

And yes, he was right. The moment Endo saw the file and found Theodore Griffith among them, he slammed the table strong enough to crack the surface and gritted his teeth. "That trash… To think he will stoop so low to the point he is at the mercy of his enemy. As expected, he is not needed in this family."

"Master, they have the powerful Hilbert Family and Eilric Family support. I'm afraid if you do something to them, the two families may join hands to suppress us. There is also a Golden Eagle Group. I think it's better to wait until the Grand Gaia is over before doing anything."

Endo clenched his teeth and shouted in anger. "I don't care. All I want is that map! I don't care whether he is alive or not."

"This…" The butler didn't know what to say since the participants were observed closely by the government, making their moves limited.

"There are more you can do!" Endo took a deep breath to calm his heart down and said, "I will give you all the things you need to do. I don't mind if that trash dies in the process. Even the Hilbert or Eilric Family won't be able to find something in this scenario."

The butler narrowed his eyes and sighed, wondering if he should just mess this up so there would be some kind of penalty to the Lange Family or not. After all, if they got hit and Endo stepped down, Laust or his big brother would be able to take over, meaning they would be leaving their father's suppression.

However, he only nodded his head, left the room, and looked at the ceiling, thinking, 'Milady, what should I do? Master has gone too far.'

Nothing could be done.

…

Theo, unaware of this fact, laid down on his bed, looking at the ceiling with an empty stare. Now that his Master had left and he was wide awake, he wondered what he should do.

He thought he needed to put all his goals down before the competition to see if he could do something special.

Grabbing his Skylink, he began to type.

"Three months goals."

Theo thought for a moment and started typing. "First of all, I need to reach Champion Rank within three months because the enemy will be far harder than the student councils and such. In fact, they may reach Alea's level. Hence, I need the strength to keep up.

"I should also get the armor piece from Alea's grandfather before going to the other side. This armor may come in handy.

"Then, there are the missions from the instructor. I am wondering what kind of missions he will assign to us.

"I also need to strengthen my foundation about the Five Aspects. Awareness, Breathing, Control, Technique, and Endurance… Since there is Force Control in the Control category, I wonder what kind of next level the others have?

"To be honest, I think Aisha Gata has powerful Endurance. Maybe she knows something about it… Should I visit her to understand a bit more… Nah, I should focus on my Force Control first before thinking about the others. Besides…"

Theo paused for a moment and raised his hand, summoning his Magic Bullet. He then stared at it for a while before using his other skill, Illusion Multiplier.

Just like when he used it with his clone, he successfully summoned another one next to the original Magic Bullet. It looked simple, but Theo understood he still didn't have enough control to create another two Magic Bullets.

"As expected, this is going to be more difficult than I thought. And I also need to master it together with my clone, making it even harder. And I think I should start changing my skills… At least, for Pierce and Monkey Fist, to something better while still leaving one slot open." Theo thought for a moment, remembering he would be able to get more if they managed to get the participation ticket. Hence, he planned to wait for a moment since he might change his F Rank Skills directly to D Rank Skills.

"Anyway, I need to consider more about this team since it's kind of unbalanced. Alea is similar to Laust in fighting style, so I think they are a good combination in the front, with Sihan getting the attention of the monsters.

"We don't have anyone supporting us like Iv Rith, so I'm slightly concerned about our coordination… Since there are no people like the twins. Only Ellen can fight from behind. I can do it too, but my attacks aren't that strong like the others… I rely on tricks… Wait a minute, I should improve my firepower to make my tricks even more effective. That's a goal, I guess.

"Then there is Phyrill." Theo let out a long sigh. "We should have an Archer or Healer to support us. Maybe taking Laust with us is a big mistake… But there's nothing I can do. Ah, thinking about this is giving me a headache."
