God of Tricksters

Chapter 164 - Sabotage

Listening to his words, the group nodded their heads and followed him.

Hilkert gave a signal to the wall while leading them to the center of the battle by foot.

Before they reached the monsters, Hilkert clapped his hand once and a wind tornado suddenly launched them to the sky.

Hilkert showed his great control and somehow pushed them closer to the wall. The monsters seemed to notice them as well and a wolf ran on the vertical wall and leaped to the sky, trying to bite them. However, another soldier jumped off the wall, kicked the wolf, and used the force to return to the wall.

After that, Hilkert pushed them a bit more as they landed on top of the wall without a scratch.

Since they landed a bit far away from the soldier that saved them, they couldn't thank him. And Hilkert quickly saw his Skylink again and asked, "According to the list, you're Alea Eilric, Ellen Marcines, Sihan Raskaka, Phyrill Hilbert, Laust Lange, and Theodore Griffith, correct?"

"Yes," Alea answered without hesitation, confirming their identities.

"Unfortunately, I can't afford to lead you to the western gate, so if you don't mind, can you head there immediately by yourself? You can just follow this path." He pointed at the small opening where they found stairs leading downstairs.

"I understand. We have our duty as well, so we will fight to defend Art Beats Castle."

"Thank you. I will inform the commander that your group has arrived and extended your stay here for emergency leave."

Alea nodded and looked at the others, signaling them to go.

The group followed her and went to the small corridor downstairs. It was a simple corridor with only lamps on the ceiling, some emergency stairs and elevator doors from time to time. Their only purpose was to transport the soldiers from the ground to this place.

There should be no way for them to go missing, but due to the high amount of people walking in this corridor, Alea and the group didn't realize that Theo had summoned his clone and made his clone follow them as the real him disappeared into the crowd.

Since they should be fine for the time being, Theo quickly headed to the elevator door, knowing he had two places to visit.

When he entered the elevator, he started remembering the so-called Captain Hilkert.

'There was no weird thing in his appearance because it might be the procedure since there was another soldier that helped us to reach the wall without saying anything. However… Why did he know we require the continuation of our leave from the school? Even if he knew about the school event, there was no way he could know we don't have much time to spend on this side.

'No. There were countless possibilities of him thinking that we still have a few days left. It is as if he already knows who we are and when we first left this base…' Theo narrowed his eyes. 'He is kinda sus…picious.'

As he thought about this matter, the elevator door had opened. It directly led him to the outside of the wall.

Seeing the bustling city, Theo quickly came out of the elevator and headed straight to the Teleportation Circle, not wanting to waste any time.

When he reached the other side, he quickly opened his Skylink and contacted the school, especially Radvils, to question them about their extended leave for emergency purposes.

Surprisingly, he got a reply from Radvils in an instant before the latter called him.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and picked up the call as Radvils's face appeared on the screen. He opened his mouth and asked, "I'm curious about what you have seen on the other side. I'm listening."

Never expecting Radvils to call him, Theo panicked for a second and gathered his thoughts. After his heart calmed down a bit, he asked, "I would like to know whether we get an extended leave for the horde happening outside the Art Beats City."

Radvils squinted his eyes and nodded. "Yes. For the army, it's a chore to deal with, but for a student like you who is competing with each other… Isn't this your big opportunity?"

"…" Theo agreed with him. They could kill so many monsters in this area and level up quicker than ever. Still, it didn't diminish his doubt on the officer, so he asked, "So, how can I get the leave?"

Radvils suddenly tilted his head in confusion before frowning. "You don't meet them in front of the Teleportation Circle on the other side?"

Theo tried to recall what he had seen and remembered there were two soldiers standing by, but because he was alone and knew nothing of them, he ignored them. "Yes. I met them, but I didn't know anything."

Radvils started suspecting that something must have happened and said, "I see. Then did the officer that brought you to the wall ask you to go to the two soldiers? That's where they will ask you whether you want to continue or just return to this side."

"Nope. He asked us to go to the western wall where most of the students are stationed."

"That's indeed the place, but…" Radvils pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. After a minute, Radvils gradually opened his eyes and his gaze became cold. "I see. So that's how it is."

"Do you know anything, Instructor?"

Radvils brushed Theo's question off. "I will register your name right now and handle the situation later. You should return to the other side and ask your teammate whether they want to stay or not and continue accordingly. No, I think you should continue fighting there."

"That's what my team is doing right now."

Radvils fell silent before saying, "Then don't ask anything. Just do your jobs and I will handle the rest."

Although Theo was unsatisfied with his response, he still nodded his head and said, "I understand."

Radvils then hung up as Theo waited for the hour to pass so he could go to the other side again.

Meanwhile, after hanging up, Radvils closed his eyes for a few minutes before a smile appeared on his face. It wasn't a smile of happiness. Instead, it was a distorted smile as if he wanted to murder someone.

His tone became colder and colder as he said, "I see, so that's how it is. The unusual horde and the change of order… It seems someone is trying to sabotage my plan. Still, the horde is very useful for the students to improve their level, so I should give this person a present to thank him, no?

"I just brought new torture tools from my previous office… To think I would be able to give him something new, it's good."
