God of Tricksters

"So, you wish to take care of her?" Rea asked while looking at the picture of Eleanor. As he said, he didn't bring Eleanor to their place immediately. Instead, he left her alone in that place to test Eleanor's loyalty as well. After all, he couldn't afford to have her betray him.

The fact that she would leave that place when he wasn't there meant it wasn't worth the investment.

Rea seemed to want to confirm this matter with him after he displayed all the good and bad things that Eleanor might bring to the group.

Still, Akbar was determined to get her. He nodded and said, "I have explained the pros and cons to you, so I'm thinking about whether it's alright to bring her here or not. Besides, even if you don't allow her, I can simply train her outside."

Rea pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "To be fair, I don't really mind since you're going to be responsible for her. However, Theo is in seclusion right now, so I'm just afraid it'll affect the entire group. After all, he said he's not planning to take in people."

"Yes, I understand that." Akbar agreed with her words. On the one hand, there was a reason why Theo didn't allow anyone to enter this place. On the other hand, he wondered if Theo would be that cruel since Akbar considered her his disciple. She would also have some uses in the future.

This made Rea hesitant.

"Well, the most rational answer will be to let her stay outside while you're training her. Of course, seeing the bruises covering her body, I'm sure her condition is worse than what I can see from the picture. Hence, I'll also send Aisha to heal her body. Though, she might have to wait for another week until Theo is scheduled to go out."

"Yeah. I agree with you." Akbar nodded and looked at the building in the sky. "It's been seven months since he started holing himself there."

"We don't know when he will make his move." Rea said, "Or maybe I should send a letter when Coline brings his food? He should be able to reply easily?"

"No, it's fine. It's only a week. I can make her wait for that long. It's enough for her to get healed." Akbar waved his hand, not wanting to bother Theo.

"Alright Then. That'll be the decision… I'm just afraid that she's going to hold some grudge."

"Well, it won't be able to affect our leader."

"Fair enough."

Akbar nodded and said, "Anyway, I'll meet Aisha."

"Sure."

Akbar asked Aisha for her help immediately before coming out to meet Eleanor, who hadn't moved a single step from her previous position.

"Teacher." Eleanor nodded her head politely.

"How is your body?"

"I'm fine. I can endure this."

"Just tell me all the pain since I'm bringing back a doctor here." Akbar glanced at Aisha and said, "She's very talented, so I want you to be healed perfectly since I'm going to train you like crazy. I'm sure that you know only the strong can survive in this place."

"I know, Teacher." Eleanor agreed without hesitation.

"Hello." Aisha walked to her and sat down while furrowing her eyebrows. "I think that I have to strip her."

"Ah, do you want me to go out?" Akbar pointed at himself. It was just common sense, but unfortunately, the one that didn't have any common sense was Eleanor, not Akbar.

She said, "There's no need for Teacher to leave. I'll just strip here."

"Wait, what? Are you serious?" Aisha was confused.

The harsh environment she had lived in for the past few months might have destroyed all her common senses. So, Eleanor nodded without hesitation. "Yes. If shyness can save a life, then I don't mind being shy. But unfortunately, it can't. Also, this is better because I can see you're weaker than me. I'll just expose you to danger if you're alone with me, so it's better to have another person here."

Aisha looked at her with a weird smile because she wanted to rebuke her claim. However, Aisha shook her head helplessly, knowing that Eleanor was truly broken. Though, Eleanor certainly looked clever in her last statement. Exposing Aisha to danger would be extremely dangerous, so she didn't want to do anything that would make her bad.

Aisha hesitated for a moment before agreeing to her request. In the end, Eleanor stripped while Akbar closed his eyes. Even without his eyes, he could still sense her movement, so it wouldn't be too late to make his move.

Aisha examined her body for a bit and asked her to make some movements to see the extent of her injuries.

"Mhm…" Aisha squinted her eyes and said, "You are a strong girl…"

"What's wrong, Aisha? Is her condition that bad?"

"The bruises can easily be fixed with my power. But there are two broken bones that are displaced from their locations. Also, her kidney and liver are damaged. So, I know that she has been enduring a lot of pain just by staying alive this whole time."

"Do you think you can heal her?"

"Yeah. Though, I might need to operate on her to cut all the bad parts before using my power to regenerate that part of the body."

"Mhm." Akbar thought for a moment. Aisha's power could even regrow a limb, so organs shouldn't be a problem as well. What he worried about was the after-effect. "Will she be fine?"

"There are no other damages than those, so after I fix them, she will be like a normal woman. Though, she has to rest for a few days because it will drain a lot of her energy to restore her organs."

"I understand. Please treat her. If you need anything, I'll do my best to help."

"Alright. Let me bring my tools first." Aisha explained.

"OK. Let me escort you back." Before leaving, Akbar told Eleanor. "Don't go anywhere. We'll be back shortly. Unfortunately, I can't allow you to enter our base for the time being. But I'm sure I can bring you there within a week, so please wait for a while."

"Yes, Teacher. I'm already grateful enough for you to help me. I'll follow whatever you say."
