God of Tricksters

A few minutes later. Theo walked to her while bringing a water bottle. "Have you calmed down?"

Rea didn't dare to look at him as she was too embarrassed from her breakdown earlier. She never realized it before, but she had been carrying too much burden this entire time.

It might be the first time in her life that she showed her weakness to someone else. Even when her palms were full of blisters or her body was about to collapse, she always smiled and assured others she was fine.

Theo might not carry her burden, but he showed her how to carry it easier. This action lifted that burden to the point she had leeway to cry.

'Ugh. Even my family never saw me crying.' Rea was too embarrassed recounting what happened earlier. 'And to think that the one who saw it was Theo, not someone from my family.'

She received the water from Theo timidly while taking a peek at his face. 'Ugh. Now I can understand why people are following him. Whether it's Felix, Jeff, or the others, they follow Theo because of this…

'It's no wonder that Theo has gotten the heart of the world's most beautiful woman, Agata Mota. And I can understand why Alea Eilric, Nella, or even Maya have some feelings for him. Maya has shifted that feeling to rivalry, while Nella has accepted her status as her little sister because Theo doesn't have the intention to have more than one woman. I don't know if it's a blessing or not, but he sure has broken many people's hearts.'

Rea sighed. If she didn't have this kind of thought, she would also fall for Theo. Luckily, she remembered the scene where Theo bought a pair of rings for his engagement. It stopped her from having any weird thoughts about him.

'Agata is surely a lucky woman. And that engagement… I hope the best for them.' Rea made a small smile.

Seeing Rea's condition, Theo walked away, saying, "You can rest for another thirty minutes. I'm going to step out for now."

Rea raised her head and saw Theo leaving the hut. She scratched the back of her head awkwardly and looked at her condition. Although the injury was still painful, it wasn't at the point where she couldn't fight.

Hence, she stretched her sword for a bit before changing her clothes.

After ten minutes or so, Rea came out of the hut, finding Theo leaning on the wall while waiting for her.

"How is your condition?" Theo asked.

"Because of my injury, I think I can only exert around seventy percent of my power. But I should be able to regain my full power in two days."

"I see." Theo nodded and retracted the illusion as the house vanished into thin air.

"By the way, there is a question that has been bothering me ever since you showed your illusion ability when fighting Walker. Your illusion can transmit sound, right?"

"Yes." Theo nodded.

"If that's the case, why don't you use that illusion to manipulate my own sense to make me think that you're talking to me? I mean, can you just give me an illusion that makes me think your voice is ringing in my head? With this power, don't you think you can make a replica of telepathy power?"

Theo shook his head in disappointment. "Well, I certainly have done that. But it's just… it's not very effective most of the time."

"Why so? Won't this make you able to hide your command?"

"Yes, but…" Theo stopped for a moment and said in another language. "Can you understand me?"

Rea nodded furiously as this foreign language was translated by Skylink.

Theo then opened his mouth again while utilizing his illusion. "Sketchev Gesukuku?"

Rea tilted her head in confusion because the Skylink didn't pick up the language, causing her to not understand the language.

"See?" Theo smiled. "Despite me opening my mouth, all you can hear is me talking in Teleg."

"Teleg? Ah, Thersland's national language."

"Yes. If I speak normally, you can easily understand my words because they have been translated by Skylink. However, if I transmit that voice into your brain, you won't understand what I'm saying.

"Of course, I can speak three languages right now: Teleg, Italian, and English. Although I can speak to others in English, not everyone understands it. Don't you think it's easier for me to talk in Teleg with Aisha? How about Akbar, Coline, Ryo, and the others?" Theo asked.

"That's right. If you transmit your voice directly to our brains, we need to have the same language first so that we can understand each other. If you want to use this power, you need to recruit the Mythical Rank Experts from the same country, but that's not possible, and they won't be unique as well. Now that I think about it, isn't our group kind of weird?"

"Weird?" Theo narrowed his eyes, not understanding her meaning.

"I mean, just take a look at our group. We have Felix, an assassin who is stronger during the day. If you're an assassin, won't it be better if you assassinate someone while using the darkness as your cover?

"Then, we have Jeff, a painter who can only draw a plant as his power source. How about Ryo? A Knight who cannot hurt anyone. What about Walker? Normally, a magician's role in the group is to utilize their super firepower to kill the enemy, but Walker's power is to bind his enemy. And like the last person that joined us… She is an archer, but she doesn't have a bow and arrow.

"We also have a researcher, Isaac, or a businesswoman, Maya. I don't want to start with a hacker and a doctor at this point." Rea scratched the back of his head. She realized that Theo's group was filled with people that did the exact opposite of what their job was supposed to do.

"How about you?" Theo smirked.

"Me?" Rea's body shook as she immediately answered, "Aren't I the only normal person in the group? Since I'm a swordswoman."

"Haha. Talk that way, Miss Swordswoman, who can't cut her enemy and can only rely on the animals." Theo chuckled as he walked away.

"…" Rea couldn't rebuke him as she muttered inwardly, "I guess I'm also weird."
