God of Tricksters

When the audience cheered for Theo and his group, all other participants seemed to have another thought in their heads, especially Nella's team.

Zara, who hadn't believed Theo's strength despite Nella talking about it continuously, was stupefied and clenched her fists.

Nella, on the other hand, still watched Theo with a calm expression until the screen changed to another person.

"That guy'¦ I mean, Theodore Griffith is'¦" Zara gulped down and glanced at Nella with a serious expression. She even corrected herself to avoid calling Theo "that guy" because he was clearly not a random guy.

Feeling Zara's gaze, Nella smiled and turned around. "Anyway, I need all of you to keep your blade sharp. I have seen it all and I can confidently say he hasn't even gone all out.

"Also, the main competition is not only for fighting. There is one more competition that makes the entire situation overly complicated, especially in terms of tricks. All of you need to watch out for his tricks because no one can tell who our opponent is in the main competition."

Zara closed her eyes and nodded.

On another side, a blonde-haired girl whistled and munched her gum. She wore a white t-shirt with American Flag on her right chest and short pants.

"That guy is interesting, isn't he?" She smiled and glanced at the guy next to her.

He shrugged and said, "Not really."

"Are you jealous? Haha, we need to win the first round to meet that kind of guy. I want to test this team." She smiled and closed her eyes. "Anyway, our fight is tomorrow. Make sure you all are ready."

Her teammates only ignored her as she was the one who always had more energy than the rest.

'¦

China Team.

"There's one thing I would like to know'¦ Griffith is certainly not a common name, but I've heard he has met Nella Griffith. I am afraid his identity is deeper than we imagine," said China Team Leader Cheng Sui. He glanced to the side, staring at another black-haired guy like him. "Right, Li?"

"I have asked someone to investigate his background. According to the information, the latter confirmed he is her cousin."

Cheng Sui smiled and said, "That's interesting."

'¦

Italy Team.

"Have you heard about the dark horse?" asked a brown-haired man as he walked closer to a black-haired girl with a nun outfit, wearing a blindfold.

"Yes. I may not be able to see them, but I have certainly listened to the commentary. Sir Diego has given us enough information from his commentary alone. Unfortunately, we can't really see anything because he needs to stop giving too much information to other teams."

"What do you think about Theodore Griffith? I feel like he is quite a contender, considering he bears the name Griffith."

"When listening to his voices, I feel like he has a rough past, but it is also the one that shapes him to the him right now. Other than that, I think I should say, as one would expect from the one who bears that name. Nella Griffith, Theodore Griffith. They're indeed a dangerous family, even though their practice is not something we like to hear."

"Agreed."

"Still, we're going to win, okay?"

"Haha, since you, Pope's student, participate, I expect no less than a victory."

"Well, we have many competitors, so I can't really guarantee anything." She shook her head with a smile and walked forward. "Anyway, we are next. Have all the preparations finished?"

"Yep. We just need to gather and wait to be called."

"Let's go then."

While many teams started talking about Thersland and Theo and began their investigation about this team, Radvils, who had been watching the whole competition, couldn't help but smile.

He gambled by creating that kind of system to get the joker card he needed to enter the world competition and, luckily, won that gamble with Theo's appearance.

As one of the Special Force Members, Radvils had some information about the Griffith Family that he dug last night. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything related to Theo's identity. All he knew was the fact Theo might be one of them in terms of talent alone.

Whether they would approach Theo or not, he couldn't care less. With them having no Mythical Rank Experts, those with a level higher than 750, it was foolish to challenge that kind of big family. Hence, if Griffith Family would try to get Theo back, he wouldn't involve himself in this. Either way, they wouldn't do anything to Theo in this competition, so he simply needed to act his part as their instructor.

Unfortunately, Theo didn't have the resources to investigate the Griffith Family. Despite having searched for that name on Skynet, he couldn't find much. If he wanted to know more about the family, his only way was to meet Nella.

Though, it was a different case whether he wanted to see her or not.

On the battlefield, Theo simply raised his hand like that of a winner.

Alea and Ellen couldn't contain their joy and ran to Theo before hugging him.

Theo's expression remained unchanged as Phyrill shook his head, watching him.

"If it's another guy, they would have been grinning when two of our brightest flowers hugged him." Phyrill shrugged. "I am concerned whether he is a healthy man or not."

As he was about to come to him, Yuda extended his hand to Phyrill.

"?" Phyrill was confused at first but soon realized his intention. He hurriedly shook Yuda's hand with a smile.

"Congratulations. Who would have thought there's someone that clever in your team." Yuda chuckled.

"Haha, indeed, he scares me."

"Anyway, you should have gained back your Transformation ability."

"Oh?" Phyrill nodded. "Your skill is sick. I really want to know where you get it."

"Haha, sorry, it's from my blessing." He shook his head. "Anyway, good luck in the main competition."

"Thank you."

Just like Phyrill and Yuda, the rest knew it was the end for them and shook their opponent's hands, acknowledging their loss.

Even Hengki came to Theo for a handshake. "Theodore, I am impressed. If you visit Indonesia in the future, you should call me. I will give you a tour."

"Haha, thanks." Theo smiled and shook his hand.

"Good luck with your future battles. I'm cheering for you."

"Thank you. I will do my best."
