God of Tricksters

Chapter 90 - Impression

"Oh! Who do we have here?!" Phyrill was the first to jump forward, checking Theo from top to bottom.

Theo flinched and took a step back, looking at this Phyrill with bewilderment. He knew this guy was weird, but he didn't know he was this weird.

"Alea has chosen you as her first partner… I wonder what is truly the reason… Have you seduced her?" He walked in circles while saying all those words. "Hey, do you want to join my family? My Hilbert Family?"

While Phyrill scanned Theo, Alea turned around, planning to stop her only to have Ellen, her best friend, hug her from behind. "So he is a man, huh… Is he a good man? I haven't watched the video since we've gotten into the room yet. I wonder for what reason this princess decided to invite him? Come on, tell me. Don't say it's love, okay?"

The two tried to tease them, but Sihan seemed to be awfully quiet. His eyes kept staring at Theo for whatever reasons before closing his eyes, contemplating a certain thing in his mind.

Since they were his opponents, they would surely choose Alea if they lost. And it might be the end for him who was aiming for the Grand Gaia. Hence, there was no choice other than winning. But soon, he remembered what his master told him.

'I can't use my Magic Bullet and Clone as long as I keep winning. However, if I lose, that restriction is gone… Did Master want me to lose so Alea will leave my team? Did Master wish for me to drop out of this competition? I have heard so many quotes about losing becoming the key to success, but no matter how hard I twist my brain, I can't understand. Should I trust Master here and prepare to lose? Or Have I grown too reliant on Alea's power?'

Theo suddenly came into a realization as his eyes turned cold and walked forward, grabbing Alea's collar from behind and dragging her into the room. "Let's not waste our time with the likes of them."

"Theo?" Alea widened her eyes before seeing his eyes looked so cold. She couldn't help but shut her mouth.

Theo also asked Hontar with a cold tone. "Come in."

Ellen was the most shocked one among the three. This was the first time she found Alea becoming so docile to someone, especially a younger man.

However, Theo paid no heed and closed the door without saying anything. Inside the room, he found that the layer that separated the two rooms was gone, allowing Hontar to take the third training capsule.

"What's wrong with you, Theo?" Alea asked with a serious expression.

Theo shook his head and continued opening the video of their opponent. It was a two versus two match.

He ignored her question and said, "I think it's the right time for me to turn around the situation. After the last match, they will think I'm not good, making this match look like two versus three. That's why I'm going to use my power to assassinate someone and ultimately win the match."

"Well, I agree with your strategy, but who will fight who?" Alea asked.

"You will fight Sihan Raskaka while Hontar takes care of Phyrill Hilbert with me. When the chance arrives, I will go as quickly as possible to Ellen Marcines to kill her since she is a magician."

"Fine by me. Just one thing to warn you, Ellen is powerful. This is not me giving an opinion about her as her friend, but because I'm her friend, I know her strength very well. And she has been hiding something from me. I feel like she will use it today. Be careful."

Theo looked down, falling into deep thought.

Meanwhile, after watching the match, Ellen, Sihan, and Phyrill stared at the screen uncomfortably.

Theo was supposed to be Alea's partner, the one she had chosen herself, but it seemed Theo's strength wasn't that great.

"How did he get together with Alea?" Phyrill asked Ellen, who seemed to know everything about Alea.

However, even she could only shrug her shoulders.

"Hey, hey, I can feel that this guy is evil and cunning, but his ability is not that good. I don't know what's wrong with her… Maybe he blackmails her using something? Won't the Eilric Family take care of it? Or does she have that big sense of justice that forces her to deal with this by herself?" Phyrill complained after watching the match.

Alea was angry for this particular reason. She knew Theo's reputation would be a mess since he portrayed himself that way.

Sihan even had a look of disappointment when finding this footage.

Phyrill contemplated for a minute before saying, "I believe I will be enough to handle this guy with this Hontar. You should worry about Alea instead…"

Sihan felt Phyrill's gaze and nodded. Ellen sighed and said, "I will help both of you from behind, especially Sihan. If we allow Alea to move freely, it will end up in a disaster. Anyway, let's grab Alea from them. This way, I can ask the reason she follows him. Maybe I can do something for her…"

"Haha, maybe I'm thinking about him seducing our princess." Phyrill chuckled and pointed at Theo. "Look. His face is quite good looking because his complexion is not like a bullied person anymore. And his body is quite buff, so maybe he is good on the bed."

"I don't know the reason, but I don't think it's that bad. Yeah, seduction is a possibility. I mean, I saw surprises on her face, not fear. In other words, it's not something like blackmail." Ellen started humming while saying, "I see. Alea has started climbing the stairs of adulthood… As her best friend, I am overjoyed."

Listening to her, Phyrill couldn't help but make a joke while pointing his finger at himself. "How about you too? I can be your partner."

As expected from a woman Alea called a chill person, Ellen didn't have a change of expression. Instead, she placed her hand on top of Phyrill's head and patted him a few times. "Good boy, don't talk about things like that easily. Instead of a one-night stand, you should worry about your future. It's not about "Enjoying your life first before settling down", it's about planning your future first and being a good husband. Grow up, okay?"

Phyrill obviously couldn't stand it, knowing he just got owned, and shouted, "Why are you lecturing me? You're only one year older than me!"
