God of Tricksters

Chapter 95 - Theo’s Talent

"That's all. I'm looking forward to working with you, Theo." Phyrill waved his hand.

"Yes, thank you very much." Theo couldn't help but remember the first time he met Phyrill. He was truly annoying. Yet, the same annoying guy actually helped him in getting into this position. He didn't know what to say anymore.

"Let me have your contact first. I'm going to add you to our group chat. We will discuss everything there." Ellen smiled while taking out her Skylink.

Theo nodded, took out his Skylink, and gave his contact.

Ellen then added him into the group chat and said, "Alright. It's done. We can't waste our time too much in this room, so we will give you one day to sort everything out since we won't give you any mercy during the next two weeks. All the information and who will teach you the next day are to be discussed in the group, okay?"

"Yes."

Since they were about to leave, Sihan quickly ended the match and told the system they were leaving, so others could use the room.

"Then, let's leave." Phyrill opened the door and came out first, finding Alea and Hontar waiting for them. "Oh? There are two people waiting for us outside."

Ellen took a peek and made a sly smirk. "Alea, what are you doing here?"

"I just left my room too. It's a mere coincidence." Alea looked away.

"You are missing your guy already?"

"He is not. And I only want to make sure you don't treat him badly." Alea harrumphed, walked away, and left one message to them. "Just want to let you know… I'm going to get him back no matter what."

Ellen only smiled without saying anything. It was the first time she saw Alea acting this way, making her become even more curious of Theo who made such a thing possible.

Phyrill and Sihan surprisingly left first, leaving Ellen and Theo behind.

Ellen then said, "Anyway, no one asked this question, but may I know what the two skills are? You may probably use it in the next match, so why not say it to me first? It's fine if you don't want to answer it though."

The answer didn't come immediately, but she still heard it.

"Well, yeah. I have been thinking about it and I believe it's fine to let you know first. It's Magic Bullet and Clone," replied Theo while turning around, facing her with a serious expression.

Seeing his face, Ellen straightened her back as she had a feeling Theo wanted to say something important.

Surprisingly, Theo lowered his head again and said, "I know that I'm asking too much, but may I ask you to teach me how to control my Magic Power so I can bend them like what you did?"

Ellen opened her mouth in amazement. "So this is why you are so open to me… Well, I can't promise you anything, but I will do my best to teach you. I see… You are a Magic Warrior huh. What is your affinity? I'm sure you can answer this question, right? Just think of it as my payment for teaching you this specific topic which is usually taught in your third year."

"I have none." Theo decided to answer. As he expected, the school indeed taught all the five aspects to the students as it might be the sole reason why all the rich families sent their children to the school instead of taking them to the other side.

"I see. No affinity. No wonder you have a Magic Bullet skill." Ellen actually had expected this answer and it was the reason why Theo didn't mind answering. She just wanted to confirm it from his mouth. "I understand. I don't think two weeks will be enough, but I believe you can do it before the next training session."

"Thank you." Theo nodded.

"Then, let's go." Ellen pushed Theo's back as they walked outside.

After that, Ellen said goodbye and left Theo alone in the school.

Since he finally had the time alone, he couldn't help but hit the wall next to him and closed his eyes with a twisted expression as if he experienced so much pain.

No matter how he accepted it, losing was indeed painful, especially when the opponent broke all the tricks he had devised for a long time. He was frustrated.

"I was lucky to be chosen over Alea. That's all." Theo gritted his teeth and decided to walk to his home.

Little did he know his master had been observing him this whole time on the school roof. She watched his reaction with a small smile. "No matter whether you are in the business sector or Martial Arts sector, there will always be a time where you lose or make a wrong decision. I want to teach you the frustration early on.

"I'm sure that you can overcome it and come back even stronger. Still, learning the basics of five aspects in less than two months…" She closed her eyes and sighed. "You may not realize it yourself, but only a genius can do it. Just like a budding flower, you have experienced the barren soil, the fertile soil, or even the right or wrong fertilizer all these years. Now that you have chosen the best soil and fertilizer to grow, it's time for your talent to bloom and show its might to the world."

Meanwhile, Theo was oblivious about such a thing and returned to his apartment, feeling dejected.

He sighed and thought something when he saw this small apartment and took out the Skylink from his pocket.

ID: 280104977610

Name: Theodore Griffith

Balance: 221,800 Zil

He got more than 150,000 Zils during the hunt with Alea last month and was satisfied with the result. But a thought appeared when he saw his balance.

"Wait a minute… Since the situation is not that strict, I think it's better to rent a house or an apartment. This way, I can train even when I'm here since the others won't teach me until midnight. It will probably be until school is closed, which gives us around five hours. I can still train until midnight while having enough rest for the next day."

Theo believed this was the best day to search for one since he wouldn't have enough time for the next two weeks.

Knowing what to do, Theo quickly opened his Skylink and opened the web for housing while saying to the Artificial Intelligence who managed it. "Search for an apartment for me."
