God of Tricksters

Chapter 202 - Observation

After that ceremony, Theo and the others returned from the stage.

"Ah, I'm pissed. How could they even say something like that without even seeing his power?" Alea grumbled with a distorted face. Her heart was beating rapidly as her anger took over.

Ellen didn't say anything but still looked at Theo with a worried expression. She asked, "Theo, are you sure about this?"

"Of course. There's nothing wrong with them underestimating me." Theo shrugged nonchalantly as if the mockeries earlier didn't affect him.

Aisha, on the contrary, smiled at Theo, praising his mental forbearance. She didn't even know if she could stay calm like Theo when the others mocked her like that.

Principal Eigen came to him and patted his shoulders. "No matter what, I will support you. If you need anything, just talk to me."

Theo smiled politely. "Thank you."

"Anyway, I—"

*Bang*

Before he finished, a loud bang resounded in their ears as Radvils slammed the door open and walked inside. He scanned the room and looked at Theo and the others. "You six don't have much time left."

"…" Alea and the others turned around, surprised to see Radvils coming to them in this ceremony.

"As you all know, you're going to fly to Italy in three weeks. And within those three weeks, I will be personally overseeing your training." Radvils then turned to the principal and continued, "I hope the school will allow them to leave the school for three weeks to focus on their preparation."

"Of course." Principal Eigen nodded with a serious expression. "As much as I hate to say this, these six are extraordinary. All the knowledge can be studied later, but this competition comes only once in their lifetime. That's why I will grant them a special leave for this."

"Good." Radvils nodded and said, "Before that, I would like to congratulate the second and third winners. Although you failed, both teams had done exceptionally well compared to the fourth or fifth places. That's why you can take pride in your achievement."

"When can we redeem the reward?" Theo suddenly raised his hand and asked a question. His tone and expression were calm, yet, the question made him look like a greedy person.

It took Radvils a moment to answer his question. "The reward from school, you need to ask the principal about it. As for the government, you can see the skill catalogs and inform me what skill you want. Of course, I need to see whether you're capable of mastering it within three weeks. I still have the right to reject your application."

Hearing his name called, the principal added, "The same as him. You can come to me later about the skills…"

"Then…" Theo walked to him and said, "I want these two."

Theo showed a picture from his Skylink, revealing two skills he wanted.

"Eh… Ah?! Alright, alright. I will send it to your address later." Principal Eigen never expected that Theo would be this shameless. He thought Theo would wait until everything was over before informing him of the reward, but he ended up asking for it right away in front of these people. "No wonder you're the most controversial participant."

Radvils, on the contrary, narrowed his eyes, feeling something was weird. Theo was supposed to use Spear and Magic, but the skills he wanted were for sword users. It wasn't logical at all. Hence, he thought Theo must want the skills for other people, unaware that the real reason Theo asked for the reward was to make him think that way.

"Hahaha, he's the best!" Aisha laughed out loud while looking at Theo and Principal Eigen. She just found it funny that Theo could even stun the principal.

"A-anyway, I have something to do. The reward will be sent later, including the skills of your choice. Just inform your teacher or me later, okay?" Principal Eigen shook his head helplessly while leaving.

Seeing that the one who kept them here had gone, the others started to leave the hall to either go home or do extracurricular activities.

Even though Aisha wanted to stay, she knew that Radvils wanted to talk with Theo and the others alone, so she reluctantly left with her eyes lingering on their backs when walking away.

After gaining their peace, Radvils continued his explanation. "As a part of the reward, I will be training you personally in order to fine-tune what you need.

"There are so many types of battles in the Grand Gaia. However, there is one type that appears every single year. It's a brawl. There are four types of Brawls, 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, and all. Instead of preparing you everything, I will be focusing on your individual ability to win the Brawls.

"With the ability to react to every single movement at an instant's notice and overall good physical attribute, you're the main star of this team. If the main star can't even shine, the rest will be shunned as well. That's why I'm going to fix one of your greatest flaws… Alea Eilric." Radvils pointed at Alea with a serious expression.

"One of my greatest flaws?" Alea widened her eyes in amazement. She thought she was already good enough, yet, the latter could see her greatest flaw, amusing to her.

"Yeah. Your reaction speed is already top-notch, but your flexibility isn't. For example, if you maintain a fluid movement all the time, in the 5vs5 match, your team would be the one who won. Even if this guy tricked you, you would have the ability to react to it. Thus, I will be training your flexibility for three weeks."

Alea and the others were astonished to see Radvils' observation skill. Alea nodded and agreed to receive the training. "So that's your basis… Okay."

"Next. Ellen Marcines. You have an amazing field of vision along with the ability to wield two skills at the same time. Fighting you is like battling two Magicians at the same time. However, what you lack is reaction speed. Your opponents won't be someone that lacks experience like Theodore Griffith and Laust Lange over there, but a monster in human clothing. Their skills and abilities are top-notch, so I will be increasing your reaction speed to fight those monsters."

Ellen narrowed her eyes and nodded. "I understand. Please take care of me."

"Moving on. Even though you two are the same type, your approaches are vastly different. Phyrill Hilbert, you have enough power, agility, and brain to mess up with your opponent, but you're mainly an assassin. I can see that you're in charge of scouting and taking care of each other, but the only way to take care of each other in this competition is to kill. If you don't have enough capability to kill, then you're useless."

Phyrill smirked as he understood it as well.

But Radvils didn't care much about his reaction. He simply turned to Laust. "And…"
