God of Tricksters

"Mhm." Theo stretched his body, feeling tired. "It was really a hard training session this time. Though, it was beneficial, right, Rea?"

After the training, they finally returned to Earth again. It could be said that the training was the most insane training that one would ever think. There was no way people would believe that two Supreme Rank Experts would hunt a few hundred Mythical Rank Monsters to level up.

And Rea, who was standing behind him, looked at him with a tired face. She said, "I feel like I have died more than fifty times."

"Though, you can't deny that it was good training, right?"

"That's true." Rea nodded in agreement. "But I don't think I want to undergo that kind of training anymore."

"Really?" Theo smirked.

"…" Rea couldn't answer this question. On the one hand, her progress improved by leaps and bounds. On the other hand, she truly had a bad memory of this training. It was simply too harsh.

She looked at Theo and thought, 'The world sees Theo as an idol because he rises through the rank from the very bottom. Although I can admit that he has the talent for learning, it'll be impossible for anyone to be as strong as him right now because they don't have the guts.

'People see Theo when he's become successful, but all the people who have trained together with Theo will surely know one thing. Theo achieves this greatness due to him training nonstop.

'He schedules his training time perfectly and makes sure to use every single second not to go to waste when he's training. Although I can see that he's actually a carefree guy when he's like this, he's truly an insane man when he's training.

'I haven't seen anyone who works harder than him. Even me, who would continue to train until I collapse, can't be compared to him. After all, he's smart enough to schedule all that training to allow him to work harder than anyone else.

'If someone tells me that Theo can only reach this level because he's from the Griffith Family, has an extraordinary talent, or whatever reason, I will definitely tell them that's not the case.'

Rea remembered all the training they had done and couldn't help but smile. From the bottom of her heart, she truly respected Theo.

"Alright. Do you want to eat something? Or should we just go back right now?" Theo asked.

"I think we should go back right away. We can just eat later," said Rea while thinking about her father. She obviously wanted to tell her father about this experience.

"Sure." Theo smiled as they started running toward their mansion. "By the way, how many levels do you need to rank up?"

"Two." Rea raised two fingers.

"Well, I don't really want you to become a Mythical Rank Expert in one go."

"I understand. I'm going to polish my new technique first. Only after I gain your approval will I rank up."

"Yep. Don't worry. We still have six months, so the time is enough."

Rea nodded.

The journey didn't take a long time since both of them were already close to a Mythical Rank Expert.

As soon as they reached the mansion, surprisingly, they didn't find a single person in the garden. Normally, Felix would have greeted them, or they would find someone training in the garden.

So, it was quite surprising to see the mansion empty.

Theo immediately activated his Awareness and found that all the people seemed to gather inside the house.

Hence, Theo and Rea walked into the house before Felix suddenly appeared before him. Felix's expression contained anxiety and despair as he looked at Theo and said, "We have bad news."

"What is it?" Theo felt something was wrong, so he immediately used his Awareness to see where they gathered. It turned out they were gathering in a single guest room, making things a bit eerier.

"Ehm… Actually, Ruth is unconscious right now after getting a curse. She was visiting us before a curse suddenly struck her, and now we don't know what's going on. So…" Felix looked at him. He managed to heal Millie, so he should be able to do the same to Ruth.

"Okay, let's go then." Theo nodded. "I'll take a look at her."

They immediately rushed to the guest room, finding everyone inside. Ergene was guarding the room, making sure no curse struck them again. Millie was looking at the curse in Skynet but to no avail. Isaac was inspecting her body to see if he could do anything.

"Big Brother." Millie immediately came to Theo as soon as he entered the room. As someone who got cursed before, she obviously wanted to solve the curse quickly. So, she begged him. "Big Brother. This is bad. She has gotten a curse. And her pulse has gotten weaker. If the situation continues, it's going to be dangerous."

Theo patted her shoulder to assure her. She was already close to eighteen years old, but she acted like a kid. Though, it might be the influence of her trauma with a curse.

"Don't worry. Let me take a look at her." Theo smiled.

"Mhm." Millie nodded timidly as she kept stealing a glance to check Ruth's condition.

Theo then approached Ruth while Isaac walked to him with everything he had.

"I don't know anything." Isaac sighed. "At that time, she was struck by a green light from the sky and her body was enveloped by the light for a moment. After that, her body gradually became weaker like this. I couldn't find anything since she was unconscious. We wanted to bring her to the hospital, but they didn't treat curses, so…"

"Mhm?" Theo raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What did you say? Her body was enveloped by a green light?"

"Yes. For a moment… this was the wound." Isaac nodded and slightly lifted her shirt, showing a crescent-shaped scar.

When the others gritted their teeth, regretting that they couldn't react to that curse, Theo was stupefied and said a banned word in this type of situation. "Oh. Congratulations."
