God of Tricksters

Chapter 578 - Development

Not long after their conversation, Theo's driver picked him up and drove him back to the mansion, where he found the old Leonardo waiting for him.

"Congratulations! You've proven your abilities to many people." Leonardo laughed while spreading his hand and sitting nonchalantly on the ground.

Ava, on the other hand, hurriedly jumped to his embrace. "Kyu!"

Theo caught her gently and smiled. "I'm back, Ava."

"Kyu, Kyu!" Ava punched the air a few times, indicating that if she were there, she would beat all those guys together with him.

"Pfft. I can see that happening." Leonardo laughed, understanding the message Ava tried to convey.

"Haha, it's fine. This result is already stretching my limit to be honest." Theo chuckled and stroked her head.

"Anyway, with your performance, I believe no one will complain about your treatment. It's not fair for others, but considering most of them are just me fulfilling my own motto, they have no choice but to agree." Leonardo smiled, assuring him.

"Is that so?" Theo nodded, not caring about others' opinions. However, if those powerful people disagreed with this decision, he would indeed face some problems.

Although he didn't show it outside, he felt a bit relieved.

"By the way, your planning is already top-notch now that you have trained under me for three months. All you need is real-life experience since many things can happen on the battlefield, and most of them are different from simulations.

"Of course, we will be sparring in a simulation game every week, but this won't be our focus from now on. I believe you already have a future plan, right?"

Theo nodded. "Yes. I have three things I wish to get used to in the span of one month.

As if understanding his plan, Leonardo asked, "You want to take a mission next month? November, huh."

"Yeah. Is there a problem?"

"Not really. The War God Family will compile the request anyway, so you can simply pick them up or let the family give you one. Either way, I won't be helping you in missions since this is your job."

"I understand that." Theo nodded. "I will just take my time and prepare for my stay here."

"Hmm?" Leonardo noticed the difference in Theo's way of talking, knowing Lorenzo must have told him something.

"Anyway, my priorities are my Control, my sight, and my taste. I want to focus on these three things."

"I can understand the Control and your sight, but why do you choose taste?"

"You can roughly calculate the Magic Power in your surroundings, including the enemy's skill, right? I want that power first because my fighting style is extremely offensive. I need that power to instantly react to their power."

"Ah, I see. It makes sense." Leonardo agreed without hesitation.

Little did he know, Theo added inwardly, "Well, with my eyes to get the skill's information, I can predict the power from the Magic Power. If I want to create an illusion, I can replicate it, making them think they have released their power."

It was a fighting style with an illusion unique only to him because of his special eyes. He believed this would be the perfect style for his foundation in the future.

"Also, I am going to get a good replacement for my skill. Since I have more confidence in my Control and Awareness, I believe adding a high power skill will give me a good boost to my attack." Theo smiled.

"At least, you have a clear vision of where you're going. Alright. I will train you in all that stuff, so you can rest assured that you will be able to use all of them in one month." Leonardo playfully smirked. "That is if you can withstand the amount of training."

"There is nothing I can't withstand." Theo shook his head calmly, accepting the challenge.

"Heh."

After that, Leonardo began to help Theo with training. He was surprised at first because Theo already had the foundation for his Awareness that seemed to come from his blessing.

Theo didn't tell him anything about his blessing since it was clear that being mysterious made him safer in the War God Family than confusing them with some rumors.

Italy was also shaken by Theo's performance because they realized Theo would keep getting stronger and wiser since Leonardo still needed to teach him for fifteen months.

Their best chance to know him was to send their delegation to him, introducing themselves as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Theo had no intention of knowing them for the time being despite Lorenzo's advice. Instead of talking with all those professional negotiators, he would rather meet their representative on a mission or something.

Their ignorant younger generations were easier to read and he could know their intention in approaching him.

His grandfather didn't say anything to Theo's choice because he had imparted the necessary knowledge to deal with his own problem.

At the same time, he was also aware that Lorenzo and Theo had been engaging in a series of conversations after that fight. Obviously, Lorenzo's father was the culprit.

Lorenzo shared the information he knew about their War God Family and several families in Italy while Theo advised him in his own improvement, especially regarding his planning and observation.

They helped each other to improve, which made their progress increase by leaps and bounds. Even Felice apologized to Theo for being rude the other day, acknowledging her mistake. Lorenzo was shocked because she never apologized to him.

The latter obviously just shrugged her shoulders and continued.

Ignazio, Agata, and even Enrica, the pope's student, contacted him to check on his condition.

Theo didn't come out of his mansion, making him even more mysterious and elevating his status even further.

Even Lorenzo praised him for his nastiness in maintaining his mysterious identity. There wasn't much information that could be dug about him, so it would just incite the curiosity of many people, thus increasing his value without him even doing anything.

Theo paid no attention to all that stuff and focused on building up his strength.

After a long month, Theo was finally ready for his first mission.
