God of Tricksters

"Ha!" Rea shouted while slashing her sword down, cutting a monster down. However, two other monsters approached her from two sides.

Rea glanced at them once before a turtle shell appeared on her right, blocking the monster's charge. At the same time, the sword she swung earlier released a snake that rammed its head at the other monster before wrapping its body, bringing it down.

After that, Rea spun her body, looping around the turtle's shell to cut down the monster before moving toward the one strangled by the snake.

Although she made a lot of moves just to defeat three low level monsters, Rea felt like she had done something excellent.

After Theo's lesson, she realized that her ability wasn't deep enough. The summoning ability was indeed good, but he had yet to reach the core of her ability.

In the past, she learned all kinds of things about mythology because she wanted to know how to deal with her enemies. Since she lived in Japan, she focused on Japanese Mythology.

Due to them, she could learn her summoning ability. Of course, Rea never had the ability to summon mythical creatures in the past, but creating animals was a simple task for her.

She didn't think too much of her ability back then because it worked just fine against her enemies.

But the stronger she became, the harder for her summoning ability to take them down. She was stuck without knowing any way to break past her shell.

It was at that time her father found Theo and asked him to take care of her. That was the start of her progress which evolved her summoning ability.

However, Theo's words from earlier made her realize her ability. She might have gotten this strong ability, but that power might not be completed yet.

After pondering for a moment, she realized that she was not a summoner. She was actually impersonating a summoner. All the creatures she summoned didn't have a soul.

'A summoner has a different system from all jobs because one can't become a summoner if they don't have a certain ability, which usually comes from a Blessing.

'The ability has the space to store the soul of a monster in one way or another and recall them here. There are many theories trying to decipher the real system of a summoning ability, and some even recreate that ability to become a summoner.

'However, they don't become summoners. They might be recognized as one from the temple, but they're just impersonating a summoner.

'Just like me, I'm impersonating a summoner. Only when my summoned creatures have a soul can I become a real summoner, but since I can't become one, why do I have to work hard to become one?

'Sometimes, giving up is the correct way. After admitting that I'm not a summoner, I realize that I can summon only a part of my summoned creatures. After all, they're made of my Magic Power, not a soul from the real creatures.

'This also gives me an advantage. I almost forgot that my initial goal in picking up a sword was that I wanted to surpass my brother in terms of swordsmanship. But Theo's lesson reminded him I was a swordsman before a summoner.

'That's why the summoned creatures are only a support ability, not my main ability. Summoning them in parts allows me to return back to my original goal.

'And…' Rea paused for a moment and glanced at Theo, who was obliterating all the monsters in the surroundings. She recalled Theo's ability when he copied other people's abilities.

The Ascension Step came from the combination of the wind element, the basic Ascension Step, and the Telekinesis, allowing him to recreate the Wind Emperor's Ascension Step. The Starry Sky was created by the combination of illusion, all elements, and Telekinesis.

There were also other techniques like Felix's invisible strike. However, she noticed that Theo created it on one basis.

It wasn't that every technique was created by the combination of other techniques. But the technique was the representation of the combination of other techniques.

'Each ability represents his own skills… The keyword is 'represent.' What is the one representing my ability… If only I have the system right now, I might be able to meet the God who blessed me, no, wait… system?'

Rea looked like she had just realized something important. She didn't think in her head anymore. Instead, she was muttering excitedly as if she had found the clue she had been searching for. "My status… There are five attributes: Strength, Endurance, Agility, Vitality, and Magic Power. There are also Five Aspects: Awareness, Breathing, Control, Technique, and Endurance.

"My abilities rely heavily on Breathing and Technique in terms of Five Aspects. As for the attributes, my Strength, Agility, and Magic Power. Ah! So, that's how it is…"

Rea gasped because she had finally discovered her true strength. She looked at Theo in shock and started approaching him as if she was planning to say something important.

Feeling her gaze, Theo turned around and saw her serious expression. Because Rea kept walking toward him as if steeling her resolve, Theo waved his hand and utilized his Telekinesis to launch all the monsters away instead of killing them.

*Bam!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The monsters couldn't resist Theo's Telekinesis and were launched into the sky. At the very least, they would get one or two minutes to talk.

If it was just any ordinary talk, Theo would listen to her while killing the monsters, but he could feel the different vibe Rea was giving, so he tried to treat her the same way.

When Rea arrived in front of Theo, she sheathed her sword and gradually fell to her knees. She gracefully placed her sword on the ground and looked at Theo.

"I know that this might not be the best time to ask. And I know it's presumptuous for me to ask this…" Rea extended her hands in front and lowered her head until it touched the ground. "I'd like to ask you, Theo… No, Sir Theodore Griffith, to be my teacher. Please accept me as your disciple."
