God of Tricksters

"Alright. The team shall be as such…" Agata divided the team into four groups instead of three.

The first group consisted of Ava, Ergene, and Ryoichi.

Ava could be considered the strongest among them, so she shouldn't need that much help compared to the rest, only Ergene as the brain and Ryoichi as the defense system.

Meanwhile, the second group focused on Rea. She had Walker, Coline, Jeff, and Isaac. These five would become a team. Although Isaac wasn't able to help them in the fight, he could use his analysis to help them.

Coline and Walker's prowess couldn't be underestimated, and Jeff should be able to alter the terrain with his illusion, allowing them to gain a huge advantage in this battle. It was the most balanced team out of the four groups.

Meanwhile, Ruth wasn't located near the battlefield, so she only got Christopher on her team. Her task was to maintain their position and kill any enemies that looped around to sneak attack from other directions.

The most important group was the last one, the support team. They consisted of Agata, Akbar, Millie, Maya, Aisha, and Eleanor.

Akbar, Millie, and Eleanor were tasked to maintain the information network to understand the entire situation when the fight was ongoing. Aisha's job couldn't be any clearer. There would be a huge battle in front, so her ability as a healer would prove to be important.

Maya was in charge of logistics while Agata acted as the adviser of the battle, where she controlled the battlefield from the base.

Last but not least, Felix, the leader of this operation. He might haven't said anything special to them, but Felix didn't mind since Rea and Agata were so capable that they didn't need him. So, he acted as the leader who supervised everything. And if they failed, he would be the one to take the blame.

Felix wanted to confirm it again. "Maya, Nella. You two are going to set up the information network with the help of the Griffith Family, the beggar association, and our group, right?"

"I'm more focused on the logistics. I'll try to supply as many weapons as possible. I don't think it's possible to help with the information network, but I'll help with the negotiation with other influences, including the beggar association." Maya shook her head

"I see. Do you think we can get help from the military?"

"It's possible with our current power. And with Maya providing their equipment, we should be able to create an army that could fight against those monsters." Agata explained with a serious expression. "There's nothing for you to worry about."

"Alright then." Felix nodded his head, finally giving the approval.

"That's all for the time being. I want all of you to do your parts and begin to seal the border." Agata waved her hand, ending the discussion.

The group didn't seem to have another argument to make, so they ended up leaving to fulfill their own tasks.

Surprisingly, there were two people that decided to call someone to accompany them. The first one was Rea, who asked Nella as if she wanted to say something. The second person was Agata. She actually called Felix, the leader.

"Nella. Can we take a walk for a bit?" Rea asked.

"Sure." Nella agreed without hesitation.

"You should know that we're facing a huge crisis, right?"

"Yeah. But you don't have to worry about the center. The Griffith Family will take care of it since we have Uncle Ray and Aunt Valerie." Nella smiled, assuring her that nothing would happen with those two.

"I know that, but I'm just worried that our enemies are stronger than we thought."

"Fair enough. We'll definitely be care—" Nella wanted to reassure her, but Rea suddenly patted her shoulder and looked at her with a serious expression.

"You have to be careful," Rea stated with a grim expression. "I think you also understand what it means for Teacher Theo to call his parents for help."

"…" Nella fell silent. It seemed she was a bit too happy that the relationship between them had improved, but Rea was right. It wasn't the time to be happy about the relationship. And Rea seemed to warn not only her but also Theo's parents.

She didn't want them to get worked up just because their relationship had improved, causing one mistake after another.

She had made the same mistake in the past because she was overconfident in her status as Theo's disciple and her abilities. Luckily, she had Theo back then. She had seen the outcome when one was getting worked up. So, Nella and Theo's parents couldn't repeat the same mistake.

Nella fell silent for a moment as if considering her words carefully. After a while, she finally nodded her head. "Understood. I'll be extra careful."

Rea nodded. Since she had finished the business, she ended up leaving Nella because she had to handle as many negotiations as possible. They had to move as quickly as possible so that the enemies didn't slip through their surveillance.

Meanwhile, Agata had asked Felix to accompany her. She felt something different from Felix, so she had to talk to him to understand him.

"Felix." Agata called his name while glancing to the side. After making sure there were no other people in the room, Agata continued, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Huh?" Felix was confused for a moment. It didn't take too long for him to get an idea. Instead of worry or concern, Felix actually bowed to Agata. "I'm thankful that you're helping me all this time.

"Even though I have this position, I still couldn't believe myself as one. I'm not as smart as you, not as resourceful as Maya, and not having a lot of connections like Maya. That's why I'm thankful that you're helping me when I can't even do anything."

Agata frowned, feeling something weird. She surely noticed the change in Felix as she couldn't help but ask, "It seems that your mind is full of something, making you a bit anxious that your action is a bit unusual. What are you thinking, Felix?"

"…" Felix closed his eyes with a pained expression as if he was already aware of that feeling but didn't want to talk about it. Still, the one in front of him was his master's fiancee, he thought she might be the only one qualified to hear it.

Felix's tone was cold and his expression was grim as he stated, "Theo has lost."
