God of Tricksters

"Alright. So, what do we have here…" Leonardo scratched the back of his head as he was still working with what he could teach Agata.

"I apologize for troubling you." Agata lowered her head as she knew she wasn't supposed to be here to begin with.

"Nah, it's fine. I should be blaming this guy instead." Leonardo shrugged. "Anyway, I don't know your power, so how about you show it to me first? Theo did the same back then."

"How?" Agata asked.

"Hmm, fight Theo!" Leonardo pointed at Theo before regretting his decision. "Nah. Don't fight him. He's too much for you. Fight Ava instead!"

"Kyu?!" Ava opened her mouth in shock.

"Are you not confident? You can drop out if you aren't." Leonardo smirked.

"Kyu!" Ava glared at Agata as if telling her that she wouldn't lose.

"Ahaha…" Agata rubbed her cheek gently, wondering what she should say in this situation.

"Since both of you have agreed, then let's start." Leonardo raised his hand as the two rooks appeared out of thin air. They were facing each other when they formed a shield, creating a fighting ring for them.

It was a simple block-shaped fighting ring.

Theo and Leonardo stepped aside, leaving Ava and Agata inside the barrier.

"Remember, no killing blow. This is just me assessing your power." Leonardo shouted, reminding the rule. After that, he turned to Theo. "Your call."

Theo nodded and checked their expressions, making sure they were ready. He then raised his hand. "Start!"

Ava released her Lightning to surround her body while Agata placed her hand on the ground, emitting the pink smoke.

"Hmm, that's quite good." Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows. "That smoke is versatile. Don't you think so?"

"Yeah. That depends on the user though…" Theo agreed while looking at Agata.

"Not going to offer your little sweetheart some advice?"

"She's not my sweetheart." Theo shook his head. "She is my assistant and Ava is my partner."

"Well, whatever. We will watch this battle carefully. This is also a part of your training."

"Okay." Theo nodded, understanding what Leonardo wanted him to do.

Meanwhile, Ava, covered with lightning, paused for a moment, checking Agata's position with her ears.

After locating her, Ava leaped toward the pink smoke. As if knowing this pink smoke would give her illusions, Ava hurriedly released a bolt of lightning into the pink smoke.

It exploded as the shock wave blew away the fog. Unfortunately for Ava, Agata managed to suppress the shock wave and stopped the movement of her fog.

Only the center of the fog was blown away, turning it like a donut from the air.

Ava hurriedly jumped into the air and spotted Agata.

"Kyu!" Ava pointed her foot toward her and sent another bolt of lightning.

"!!!" Agata raised her vision and hid inside the pink smoke, albeit it was too late as the lightning had already reached the ground in front of her.

The lightning created a massive spark that forced Agata to take a few steps back.

After that, a huge pink ball flew to the sky, hitting Ava.

Unfortunately for her, Ava managed to catch that ball and threw it away. After that, Ava stepped on the air and positioned herself directly above Agata.

She raised both feet and formed a tiny ball made of lightning. "Kyu!"

She threw the ball down like dropping a bomb.

Agata widened her eyes and tried to cover the entire battlefield with smoke. Unfortunately for her, this small lightning bomb was stronger than she initially expected.

The moment it landed on the ground, the spark blew all the smoke and launched Agata to the wall.

Bam.

"Kh." Agata gritted her teeth as she controlled the smoke to fly.

The smoke moved according to her will, chasing Ava. When it was about to engulf her, the smoke formed a hand, catching her.

Ava retracted her power and started falling, avoiding the hand. As soon as she landed on the ground, Ava jumped forward to kick Agata.

The latter summoned two swords from her illusion smoke and blocked Ava's attack.

"Argh!" Agata felt Ava's attack was far too strong for her to handle. In the end, she jumped to the side, barely dodging Ava's kick.

Bam.

Ava hit the barrier and the lightning was dispersed. Still, Ava got the foothold that she used to chase after Agata.

Not wanting to lose, Agata formed a scythe and slashed the air, releasing a crescent-shaped pink smoke.

Ava widened her eyes and jumped up.

But Agata used that chance to follow her and turned her smoke into a humanoid form, bigger than her.

The pink humanoid smacked Ava to the ground.

Bam.

It was supposed to be a heavy hit to Ava, but Agata was the one screaming. "Aaahhh!"

The pink humanoid was destroyed and Agata was clutching her wrist. It turned out Ava let Agata hit her so that she could plant a sneak attack.

Since Agata didn't have anything to protect her, Agata hurriedly stood up and leaped toward her with her feet pointing at Agata.

This was Ava's special kick.

"Kyu!"

Agata gritted her teeth and formed the pink smoke to a seven-layered shield, stopping Ava's kick.

Unfortunately, all her shields shattered, failing to block Ava. Even Agata was forced to throw herself to the side and fell to the ground.

Ava looked at Agata with a calm expression, wondering if she could still do more than this.

The moment she reached the ground, Ava leaped toward her and sent another kick. "Kyu!"

Agata couldn't help but smile when she saw this opportunity.

She formed the shield again, only to be blown away by Ava's lightning.

It was then Theo shouted, "Stop! It's a draw!"

The two were too engrossed with the fight as they didn't manage to stop their attacks in time.

Leonardo stepped in and formed a barrier to lock Ava.

This made Ava hit the barrier and use her lightning inside.

"Kyu?!" Ava tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why Theo stopped the match. But her doubt was answered when she lowered her vision.

There were many pink spikes coming out of the ground and were about to pierce her. It turned out Agata had been hiding the smoke underground for this one move.

Ava's kick would be life-threatening to Agata and vice versa.. Hence, Theo declared the match was over.
