God of Tricksters

The students suddenly looked down. All the questions in their minds vanished into thin air. All that was left was the shame from badmouthing him and plotting against him.

"Before teaching anything in this class, I want to let you all know that the system is not your limit. There might be alternatives like increasing your Five Aspects, a combat technique, or any others. But I don't want you to give up on pursuing a stronger strength.

"Even if you're stuck in your current level, I want you to continue to raise your attribute by absorbing herbs or artifacts."

They couldn't say a single word to refute Theo. They had never thought about this previously. No, it seemed like they had given up on finding this path.

Theo returned to the front of the class and introduced himself. "I'm Ary Tjahaja from the Star Group."

"Star Group?!"

The people widened their eyes in shock the moment they heard that name. The Salvatore Family might be big, but the Star Group was bigger. Not only was it the biggest company in the world, but the company was also protected by the hero, Theodore Griffith.

There was no reason why their teacher had to be afraid of the Salvatore Family. In fact, the latter should be the one to apologize.

Instead of flaunting his affiliation and strength, their teacher chose to ignore everything. Even without affiliation, he would still continue forward. The limit of a single individual? No, it was the reason why he wanted to teach Combat Magic. He kept improving even if it meant he was alone.

That was why he never gave away his affiliation. He was here as their teacher, Ary Tjahaja, not a person from the Star Group.

Theo looked at their shocked expressions and let out a long sigh. "I'm disappointed in all of you. Before coming here, I heard the news that there would be another season of ranking up skills.

"Even without accessing the system, you still can get stronger through the system by upgrading your skills…"

"!!!" The information dumbfounded them. Since Theo came from the Star Group, he should have insider information.

Considering the relationship between the company and Theodore Griffith, it was clear that they had the priority to get their skills enhanced by Theo.

Theo looked at Grace and said, "I should praise you for trying to look objectively. Whenever you're tired or being pushed to the corner on the battlefield, you're bound to have an irrational thought. I'm sure that you have seen it here."

"…" They looked down, not daring to raise their heads anymore. Theo was implying that they never trusted their teacher. They forgot the fact that as a teacher, it was his job to train them. Yet, they simply hurt him by throwing that kindness away.

Theo looked at Grace and said, "I have received the quota to allow people to be prioritized to get their skills enhanced. I thought I could get more than one person just by seeing your training… I had told you earlier that I would try to give you a recommendation and such, yet, you threw it away…"

They bit their lips. Theo had promised them about it, but they chose to backstab him by plotting against him. It was already good that Theo didn't throw them away after this.

In fact, the moment they knew about this opportunity, they wouldn't leave this class, let alone inform others about it. After all, this was their chance to get it. And they would be considered a fool who threw away such an opportunity if others knew about it.

They regretted it. Instead of plotting against him, they should have put some trust in him and tried to think logically like Grace.

"Grace. You're the only one who receives the recommendation from me. I'll tell the Star Group about it and arrange a special seat for you when the upgrading session is open."

A smile appeared on Grace's face. She was overwhelmed by the favor. She never thought that her small action could give her something like this.

However, it looked like Theo didn't give her the recommendation because she was exceptional in the previous task, but it was because the rest was too awful.

Theo looked at the rest of the students and said, "I won't say how many quotas I've received. I'm sure you're already aware of this. The reason why all influences are sending their elites to this place is that they will also benefit from it since they can seize you up.

"And for me, it might be a recommendation for you to enter the Star Group or the recommendation to receive the skill upgrade. Either way, in the next four months, I'll be observing every single one of you.

"You might have gotten the recommendation from me, but it doesn't mean that you can keep it forever. If you become too complacent just because you have it, I'm going to remove it personally. If you become too lazy because you think you have more time to get the recommendation, then don't bother.

"As such, whether you want to throw this chance away or tell others about this opportunity so that they can snatch it from you, it's your choice. I won't be interfering with what you will do.

"But remember this, I have the right to everything. And you won't know the requirements for receiving my recommendation. That's all." Theo walked to the door and planned to leave.

He added one more thing. "Ah, that's right. The recommendation for skill upgrade this time is different. I've heard that this recommendation can allow you to upgrade your skill all the way to A Rank. It won't be just one rank like you are aware of. Whether you have an F Rank Skill or whatever, you can choose whether you want to upgrade it to C Rank or even A Rank. That's all. You're free to do anything for today. Gather in this place at 6 AM tomorrow."

With that last message, Theo left the room, leaving everyone in shock.
