God of Tricksters

A few hours later.

Stella and Agata walked to the 38th floor to visit Theo.

Unexpectedly, they found two standing statues whose eyes were completely glued to the screen even though they should have felt their presence.

"Hello…" Stella waved her hand and received no reaction. In the end, she walked next to Maya and shook her shoulder. "Maya. Are you ignoring me?"

"Mom?" Maya's body trembled for a moment as if she was surprised by Stella's sudden appearance. "You're done? So fast? Where is Agata?"

"So fast? It's already been 3.5 hours, you know." Stella frowned and pointed at Agata. "As for Agata, she's right there."

"Ah, oh?" Maya had no words to say and started looking down, sorting her thoughts.

"What's going on?" Stella frowned while Agata was concerned with Theo's well-being. "Is there something wrong with the room? Is Theo fine?"

Maya immediately grabbed Greg's sleeve and pulled it to wake him up.

"Eh, ah?" Greg had the same reaction as Maya before greeting Stella. "Madam… I'm sorry for such a display."

"It seems like something has happened. What's wrong?" Stella glanced at Theo avoiding numerous objects coming his way. Even the terrain had changed to the grassland with tall grass covering everything from his sight.

"Ehm… How do I say this? If you're worried about his safety, there's no need to. He's completely fine."

"Then, what's wrong? No, I should change my question. What is the level now?"

"Ehm…" Greg scratched the back of his head, having difficulty in answering her. He gritted his teeth and showed the real setting. "Level 7 in Magic Power, Level 8 in Difficulty, Level 10 in Pain, and Level 5 in Terrain."

"What?" Stella dropped her jaw in disbelief. "What did you say? There's even level 10 in pain? Are you going to kill him? Level 7 Magic Power is for those above level 700, no? Also, Level 8 in Difficulty? Isn't that the highest level for a Supreme Rank? The terrain is already level 5? The pattern is so weird…"

"Y-yeah." Greg let out a long sigh. "Even though the pain is at the maximum level, he hasn't screamed this whole time. And he's personally confirmed that the pain is at a tolerable level."

"Huh?" Stella obviously didn't buy it, but Greg didn't say a single lie.

Theo had gotten used to this level of pain after a bit of training with his Death Avatar. The pain he experienced there was unimaginable, so his body was already numb to this level of pain.

"Is the pain level broken? That kind of pain should be similar to the real one, right? Don't tell me he can dodge all objects?"

"No. For the time being, his dodge rate is at 90%."

"One out of ten…" Stella frowned. "And it's level 8 in Difficulty and level 10 in Pain?"

"Yes. How can he do that? You should know that Level 8 in Difficulty requires…" Stella suddenly fell silent and looked at Maya. "You didn't say anything about this."

"Would you believe me that he reached Prediction Eyes Level within thirty minutes upon entering?" Maya said with a wry smile, feeling dejected.

"So, he's already close to that?"

"I don't think so. He didn't show anything like that during our trip." Maya shook her head and glanced at Agata. "Do you know anything?"

"No."

"According to our data, he can only use Vision, Hearing, and Taste. To achieve Prediction Eyes, you need to advance the Smell and Touch too…" Stella looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Yeah. From what I saw earlier, I realized he wasn't that good with those two. Even when he reached Prediction Eyes, his action was a bit sluggish. However, he was improving at such a rapid rate that I didn't realize three hours had passed." Maya let out a long sigh.

"And you should know that he should have gotten close to a thousand hits during this session. With level 10 in pain alone… he should have experienced it 300 times." Greg added.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. And according to the analysis using his movement speed, dexterity, and Magic Power tolerance, I believe that his status is like this." Greg showed Theo's status.

Strength A

Endurance (Mind) SSS

Agility B

Vitality B

Magic Power SS

"This is our official rating classification, right?" Stella frowned.

"Yes. I predicted his strength according to Miss Maya's explanation. But for Endurance… his mind alone can withstand cruel torture. As for his Agility and Vitality, he's already pretty tired, and his speed is quite good, but not that good. Last but not least, his Magic Power should be the highest status among all of them.

"At the very least, I'm sure that his Magic Power is a few hundred points above other status." Greg explained with a troubled expression. "He's built differently. I wonder who his master is…"

"Seriously?" Stella looked like a broken record as she kept repeating the same word. She simply couldn't believe what she heard.

"According to my speculation, he's adjusted his own Prediction Eyes during this time, and I believe he has received a few problems to solve when he returns. Although right now his Prediction Eyes is at the foundation level, he should be able to stabilize his foundation sooner or later and use this in a normal fight."

"He's going to train here for a month."

"What? Madam, you're not serious, right? If it's true, his foundation will be solid when he finishes his training. Though, I don't really mind since we'll acquire unique data from him."

"I'm serious."

While they were talking, Agata looked at the screen and couldn't help but clutch her chest as her heart wrenched in pain. 'Is this how Alea feels when Theo gradually becomes further and further away… Can I really stand by his side?'

Maya glanced at her before closing her eyes as though she understood what she felt right now.

She said, "He's built differently. Instead of pondering the reason why he is like this, we should focus on adapting to his ability."

"Right! I'll make sure to study the data well." Greg nodded with a serious expression.

"Dear. You're not…"

Maya shook her head. "I can't beat him in this, but it doesn't mean I'm going to let him take my crown in the business world."

Her words somehow struck deep in Agata's heart as she couldn't help but think, 'That's right.. I don't need to chase after him… I should become the number one in a certain area that I excel the most… When that happens, I can stand beside him.'
