God of Tricksters

"Perfection." Theo couldn't help but smile when he saw the Magic Bullet and his clone.

The Magic Bullet's power increased drastically by doubling the number alone. At the same time, he could do something big with what Fenrir taught him.

The clone, on the contrary, began to evolve into that of a human. He never thought that he could gain five senses for his clone.

"This is great." Theo laughed excitedly as he clenched his fists, doing a fist bump. "No wonder he told me that I can increase my training speed by at least fifty percent. I know that it's not twice as fast because our thoughts are linked. So, if I fight my clone, the spar won't be that effective.

"Even so, if I am trying to figure out my Control and increase it, this will surely make it more efficient. Two weeks… I believe I can do all the stunts that Fenrir taught me. Of course, other than Materialization. Even so, I can master Materialization within three months… Or that's what my gut tells me after getting this skill.

"I have promised Agata, but I think I will wait for a moment and reach Hero Rank first. Since I'm going to hunt at Level 260 to 270 area, I don't think it will take a week…" Theo became fired up and planned to spend his time training.

However, he soon found another problem. "In the next mission… Should I bring Ava? If it's only Agata, bringing her won't be that much of a problem, but the condition is to have many people in the group. This will become a problem."

Theo couldn't find the answer since he needed to ask Ava's opinion as well.

"Never mind, I should look for what kind of mission I should get before deciding this matter." Theo shrugged and began practicing.

He had three training menus. During the morning, he practiced In Motion, gradually making his movement more fluid.

The approach Theo used was none other than a spar with his clone. He used his clone to take all the beating since he knew what kind of attack he would use, giving him a fight that lasted more than three hours.

It tremendously helped him in getting used to In Motion. Although he couldn't replicate what Fenrir did when he shot the Magic Bullet into the ground without exploding, he managed to use the full power of his Magic Bullet while waving his hand or something, camouflaging his skill.

The second training was to increase the versatility of his skill.

Once he delved into this area, he discovered that all his skills were better than he imagined. Like Fenrir showed him, Theo used his Cannon Blast with his hands or feet.

The same applied to his Magic Bullets. He tried to form a different shape of Magic Bullets, albeit he failed every single time.

However, this didn't stop Theo because he knew that the Magic Bullets were the basic skill to overpower his opponent.

Last but not least, he also used the Three Great Defense. This new skill might immobilize him, but it certainly contained enough power to stop Nella's Mana Wave or Mana Concentrated Bomb despite having one rank difference.

And Theo tried to reshape the shield instead of shrinking or expanding it. He made a fan, a slope, and other things depending on what kind of block he needed.

The third training menu was to train all his Five Aspects in a set of training, especially with the Eagle Vision book from Agata and Materialization notebook from his master.

In the span of two weeks, Theo felt the change in his vision. It felt sharper and easier to focus when he looked at something small in the distance.

At the same time, he felt like his instinct improved too. Whenever he had a spar with his clone, there was a tingling sensation that jolted his mind when the real body was about to hit him.

He assimilated it to his fighting style as well because that instinct might be able to save him in the future.

As for his Materialization, with the help of Fenrir, he managed to form an eel. Although there wasn't much detail, it was the first success for Theo.

The eel also contained a raging current inside the body, so the moment the eel touched a surface, it would generate a quite powerful force that knocked the enemy out.

Of course, Theo didn't forget about the other three Aspects: Breathing, Technique, and Endurance. However, he could only train according to his master's method, which simply consolidated his current power.

These three were Theo's main focus in this training session.

…

Two weeks later.

"Ha!" Theo shouted while raising the water from his pool. The water formed an eel within two seconds.

This was already a simple thing for the current Theo.

He only needed to shorten the time and he would be good to go.

After that, he took a step further and started making a scale.

One scale.

Two…

Ten…

Fifteen…

Boom.

Unfortunately, the water burst and collapsed into the pool.

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and looked at the sky. "Well, it's already 8 PM. I usually continue my training for another three hours, but I need to search for a new mission to reach Hero Rank and get another one for the promise."

To his surprise, another blessing came to him as Ava came out of the house with Theo's Skylink in her mouth.

She handed Theo his Skylink.

"Kyu!"

"There's something important?" Theo widened his eyes and opened his Skylink, finding a notification.

This message surprised him, not only because he didn't expect to get a message from this person, but because the content also suited his current problem.

The message came from Alea to the group they created for the tournament. He had yet to leave the group, so he got the message too.

"There is a special expedition request for the young generations to challenge their limit. The mission is to subjugate a level 400 Ground Dragon. Does anyone want to participate in this mission?"
