God of Tricksters

"Ha!" Theo waved his spear to the side, hitting Fenrir's paw before Magic Bullets curved behind his back and arms, forming a single line that hit Fenrir's foot in succession.

"Is that my win?" Theo asked, implying that he had hit him twenty times with his Magic Bullets.

Unfortunately, Fenrir already smacked him to death like a mosquito while snorting, "Of course not, you idiot. That kind of attack can't even tickle me. Can't you see that I used the Telekinesis to form a kind of domain that shook your Magic Bullets to the point they exploded?"

"…" Theo sighed and took a deep breath, calming his heart down. He had learned many things with Fenrir here.

In fact, if he wasn't limited by his Control, he might be able to replicate everything he taught him in an instant.

Although he didn't show it in his face, Fenrir was amazed by Theo's learning speed.

Theo never took his harsh words to heart and kept learning like a student. Theo also managed to pick many important points as soon as he explained them, making his improvement even faster.

He realized why God of Mischief chose him. Still, he couldn't stand the fact he needed to talk politely to him, so he continued what he had been doing this whole time.

"Besides, your Control is still unstable. Those last Magic Bullets were so weak that I wondered if it could kill me even if I didn't do anything," Fenrir rebuked him again.

"I know, I know. Sorry that I can't do anything in two hours." Theo rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, the training ends here. I'm sure you have noticed it too, but all these things require a good amount of Control. From my training alone, I have managed to make your Control level from Beginner to Practitioner level.

"And with all this advice, I know that you can reach Master Level within six months. There is one thing you need to remember. Rank up your Clone Skill as soon as possible. That is a power that can bring limitless potential.

"You should be able to increase your training speed by more than fifty percent after understanding what your clone can do. Also, you need to participate without your mask from time to time." Fenrir stopped for a moment, trying to think of another topic to talk about. "Ah, I almost forgot this one. What you need to do right now is to learn how to use Control in quick succession.

"For example, you can use Cannon Blast, Telekinesis, Magic Bullet, Illusion Multiplier, and Illusion Manipulation in rapid succession before the attack is even connected. The key to this one is none other than In Motion. You should remember it well.

"And you should master Materialization first before learning any other Aspects. This will create a deep foundation of other Aspects, allowing you to increase the possibility of combining two Aspects at once. For now, I won't tell you about the combination since I believe someone is more qualified to teach you that one."

Theo nodded with a serious expression. "I understand. I will follow your guidance."

"Shut up, don't talk politely like that. It irritates me. You just reminded me of those guys who loved to talk politely while saying something else behind your back."

Theo scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say. Fenrir also decided to drop it.

"This is my last advice regarding your Control," said Fenrir as he formed another spear before him. "Don't ever get fixated again into one form. I know that you are a spear user, but if you take another look at it, your job is to trick your opponent.

"Instead of using it like the norm, it's better if you get some understanding of all weapons." The spear's blade suddenly glowed before the Magic Power formed an extension of the blade, turning it into a sword, albeit with a long handle. "If it's like this, you can replicate the use of a sword. Of course, ignore the handle."

He then formed another spear blade made of Magic Power on the spear's butt, turning it into a two-headed spear. "It can be used this way too, but more importantly…"

A string made of Magic Power suddenly appeared, connecting between the two heads. Fenrir then used his Control to bend the string and spear as if wielding a bow. "You can even use this spear as a bow."

"But a spear can't bend that way…" Theo pointed at the spear in confusion.

"Huh? Ah, I forgot that humans are useless. Those people from the mountain could make a durable, hard but flexible spear."

"Ehm, sorry that we are not as good as dwarves." Theo rolled his eyes.

"Either way, this is also a form of Materialization or whatever the name of that sh*t. This Materialization can become anything you want, depending on your imagination. Hence, I advise you to train your Control."

"I will." Theo nodded.

"I am not giving you any tips on how to improve it though… I only want to tell you how to utilize this power." Fenrir looked away.

"I know. It will be the best if I get both, but I know that even if I get stronger, as long as I can't utilize it properly. That power is useless. Knowing how to wield it alone has given me a limitless possibility." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"That's good." He nodded. "We don't have much time, so I will allow you to ask a question before sending you back."

Theo looked down for a moment before a certain thing came into his mind. He scratched the back of his head and bowed his head politely, "This is not a question, but I think this is the most important thing I need to do right now. I am grateful for your guidance and I believe I am the luckiest person right now…"

"!!!" Fenrir widened his eyes as if he understood Theo's hidden meaning.

His reply came in the form of a smack, killing him and sending him back at the same time.

Seeing Theo had gone, Fenrir's lips couldn't help but curve as he harrumphed. "Hmph, I guess he is not as foolish as I thought. That's right. You are the luckiest person in the world… After all, you receive the best of the best from four of us instead of one like any others…"
