God of Tricksters

After receiving the ring, he put it on his right middle finger. Theo thanked him once again and returned to his position.

"And now, Grand Gaia's officially ended. Let's give another round of applause to everyone that has competed in this competition."

With the prime minister ending the competition, Theo finally felt relieved before using his Blink after sensing Nella's presence.

"Why are you running?" Nella pouted again. "I only want to congratulate you for becoming the MVP. That Ring of Honor may become your greatest boost in official organizations. Though, I doubt anyone can recognize it at a single glance, so you can only use the power inside it to help you in battle… But I'm afraid it will require a lot of Magic Power."

"Well…" Theo nodded, remembering the effect of the ring. He thought about experimenting with the ring when he returned. And He had no plan to take it off because he could simply use a bit of his Magic Power to make the ring disappear with his illusion.

After that, they needed to do some interviews with the reporters in the arena, especially Theo.

They asked all types of questions and because Theo was the most mysterious person among them, they asked more questions than others.

It took him half an hour more than most people as they were too curious about his blessing. In the end, he could only say it was a God Rank Blessing since most people had already believed it was the case.

As for what kind of God gave their blessing, Theo didn't say anything because that identity might be used against him sooner or later. He wanted his blessing to remain unknown for a little longer.

After finishing all the questions, Theo finally returned to the waiting room, only to find the others already celebrating.

Theo only shook his head helplessly.

"Theo, why do you have no expression?" Ellen smiled and came to him, checking his condition.

"It's fine. I don't like to express myself too much." Theo let out a sigh. "It's tiring."

Suddenly, Radvils entered the room and silenced them.

"Alright. I know that you are in the mood for celebration, but listen to me for a minute." Radvils raised his hand and clenched it as if asking them to stop talking. "We will return to Thersland in a week, so you can do anything you want in this country for a week.

"However, you need to do a few things in the first few days. Tomorrow will be the banquet, so use the rest of the day to rest and prepare for the banquet tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow will be your interviews with other countries. Instead of rejecting their offers which may end up worsening our relationship with other countries, we will allow them to approach you and let you make the decision.

"But I hope all of you can remember that Thersland will pour their resources to you if you still wish to stay in the country. And we will also do our best to ensure your safety from any foreign parties.

"I will handle your interview schedule, so you can meet them during that one whole day or stretch it to two, depending on the numbers.

"You can spend the remaining days doing everything you want. We will board the plane on the eighth day in the morning and get a huge greeting from many parties. Still, it won't take that long compared to your schedule here.

"Of course, there's a meeting with the president since he wants to thank all of you for bringing the honor to our country.

"That's all. You can continue your celebration since Rai and I will wait on the bus. Just return as soon as possible since it's kinda boring to wait there." Radvils shrugged and turned around. "Alright. See you later."

Although it was pretty awkward at the start, Ellen and Alea began to cheer again.

Suddenly, Theo came to Sihan with a serious expression.

Understanding what he wanted, Sihan nodded. "When do you want to talk about it?"

"Tomorrow. I will inform you about it."

"Okay." Sihan agreed without hesitation.

To avoid ruining the mood, Theo returned as Ellen offered him some drink. Since there was only juice and energy drink, Theo drank it there while watching them celebrating.

It was loud, but it didn't feel so bad. This celebration just indirectly told him that his efforts were not in vain.

He couldn't help but remember the past him who couldn't do anything. He smiled and muttered inwardly, 'At least, I don't come back with disappointment. This Ring of Honor alone is enough to make me the hottest commodity among the new generation. And it's not like I can go to another country immediately… It seems I need another plan for my future.'

…

After their celebration, the group finally packed up their luggage and headed back to the bus.

It didn't take too long for them to return to their hotels as their pictures were displayed everywhere.

When they were about to reach their rooms, Theo waved his hand and quickly made his way to the room. "Since everyone is done here, I'm going to do a few things in my room, so see you tomorrow."

They could only look at him for a moment before Ellen suddenly remembered something. "That's right. I almost forgot to ask him about whether he wanted to go with us touring the city in our free time or not."

When Ellen was about to come to him, Alea grabbed her hand.

"Alea?"

Alea shook her head. After seeing his expression, she understood that Theo had worked too hard in the past few days even though he was hospitalized. His expression told her he was tired. "Let's ask him tomorrow, okay? There's still time."

Ellen thought for a moment and realized why Alea did it.

"I guess you are right." Ellen nodded and decided to leave him alone.

In Theo's room, Theo already fell asleep. He only took off his shoes and went to bed. He even laid on his belly, not bothering to fix his sleep position.

Theo just wanted to sleep and restart his mind.
