God of Tricksters

After taking care of all matters, Theo finally had some time to continue his training. It was truly hard to manage an influence, especially if they had a big enemy.

Theo needed three days to settle everything for his plan.

But when he was about to train, Theo had another thought in his mind. "Now that I think about it, I'm planning to find the last person for my group. It's just… I don't know what kind of person I will bring this time. After all, our relationship most of the time is a bit special.

"Isaac is a kind of a friend. Maya is a rival. Millie is Felix's son. Last but not least, Aisha… She's from my hometown." Theo pondered for a moment, wondering who would be the next person.

If it was just a random person like the Mythical Rank Experts, it would be weird since they didn't have any use for him.

Suddenly, Rea came to him, bringing news. "Joker. Maya called you earlier. She said you needed to complete an international mission."

"International mission?" Theo tilted his head in confusion. "Ah, right. The quota. Well, I don't really mind. There are still three months to do that, so I'm not rushing."

"That's true, but she asked if you want to recruit the last person from the international mission. It's a perfect chance after all."

"I see." Theo furrowed his eyebrows. "To be honest, I don't have any vision of the person that I want to be our last member."

"Is that so? That will be problematic." Rea nodded in understanding. Theo usually had a vision, but this time, he already felt fulfilled with the current team. "How about taking a disciple instead?"

"A disciple?" Theo was confused. "I have been teaching people, you know."

"I know, but this person will be your real disciple. In other words, your successor. You will pass everything to this person." Rea explained.

"That's a good idea, but I think I won't take in any students for the time being. After all, if we're talking about a disciple, they need to be talented, right? Even so, they need to have some sort of training first to show their talent. And according to the age restriction, won't it mean that my disciple will only be a few years away from me?"

"Now that I think about it, you were only 17 years old when you participated in Grand Gaia. And only five years have passed since then… So, you're only 22 years old." Rea lowered her head. "I forgot you're that young. Ugh, I'm now feeling a lot older."

"Yeah. Anyway, I won't take in any students. Besides, Maya can take care of Business, Isaac is in the research field while Millie handles our communication problems, and Aisha is our doctor. What kind of role do I lack right now?"

Rea couldn't answer that question since she also felt that everyone had fulfilled the role if she added the other roles from the Mythical Rank Experts.

"Though, tell Maya that I'll rest for another two months here. Just want to consolidate my power. After that, I'll go on a mission. Since I'm planning to rank up, I need a few Mythical Rank Experts to guard me."

"Huh? You're joking. One Mythical Rank Expert should be enough, right?" Rea frowned. One Mythical Rank Expert was all it took to protect Theo since they were just standing on guard, but Theo asked for a few guards? It was a bit ridiculous even for her.

"I'm not joking." Theo sighed helplessly, recalling what happened to Ava when she broke through. Ava released that amount of energy with the addition of her Order power.

So, when he ranked up, he would also release his own Order, inciting the monsters. One Mythical Rank Expert wouldn't be enough for this.

"I'm planning to bring Ryo, Ruth, and Ergene to protect me," Theo explained. "So, tell her that I want a mission that can allow me to bring them with me."

"Well, I don't understand why you need them, but I'll tell her just in case." Rea scratched the back of her head while looking at her Skylink. "Then, to your next schedule. Since you don't know what kind of person you want next, how about throwing a dart to the world map? Whatever country lands, we can ask Millie to gather data about the people there."

"Are you going to overwork Millie? What I want is not a Mythical Rank Expert, but just a talented person. There are more people than just Mythical Rank Experts." Theo squinted his eyes, judging Rea.

"No, no. Millie has done the basic classification with Akbar's help. All we need to do is to open the archive and compile it. I promise that it won't take three days just to get all the data in one country." Rea explained.

"If that is not a lot of work, then I guess I can do that. But it feels like the next person is chosen just because of luck, not a genuine choice." Theo sighed.

"Well, that's your choice. I'm just giving some options." Rea shook her head helplessly.

"Whatever. I'm going to think about the next member for the time being. We have six months anyway."

"I understand." Rea was supposed to have finished her job, but she mysteriously remained at his side as if she wanted something.

"What is it?" Theo wasn't annoyed, but he still preferred to train alone.

"Actually, I want to ask you… Since you're at that level, do you think you can give me that mark? Like the one I thought was my birthmark?" Rea asked. "My father suggested that you should mark your people as soon as possible since the group has been formed. It's hard to explain, but don't you think it's kinda cool to have a tattoo that will become the group's symbol? Also, we need the group's name."

"Name aside, but I think it's true that I should give you the mark." Theo contemplated for a moment. Although Friend Seal wasn't that useful since General Class Monsters wouldn't be able to see it, it was clear that they served some purposes since most of his people were Mythical Rank Experts which was exposed to King Class Monsters a lot. "I'll give it after I think up our group name."
