God of Tricksters

A month later. 

Theo was sitting on the ground.

Twenty Magic Bullets were floating above his head as Theo started pouring his Magic Power into them. 

The bullet on the left then turned into a small knife, followed by the one next to it. Then, more and more Magic Bullets transformed. 

Theo gradually opened his eyes after he changed all of them and looked at them.

"So, what do you think?" Leonardo asked. 

"The process is similar to forming a spear with Magic Power, but because my Magic Bullet is a skill, it's harder to change its shape because there's something that is not Magic Power in it," Theo explained his feelings about the Magic Bullets.

"Yep. For now, you shouldn't have any trouble in shaping them, right?"

"Yeah." Theo nodded and raised his hand. "At the same time, I can do this too."

The Magic Power fluctuated until it could be seen with naked eyes. This was the normal process for making a spear. However, Theo chose to form a light ball instead of a spear. 

After that, he split the light ball into ten. "Here you go."

"Ho? You can do the reverse?"

"Yeah. The process itself is easier than shaping the Magic Bullets. In fact, I don't need to change it that much, unlike the spears. The only thing I need to do is to apply the Magic Bullet's rules into this pure Magic Power and they will be the same as my Magic Bullets." 

"That's right."

"Also, I have thought of one more idea." Theo smiled and asked, "Do you want to test it, Sir Leonardo?"

"Sure. Shoot me."

"These are Magic Bullets." Theo waved his hand, releasing the twenty Magic Bullets that had changed back to a normal bullet instead of a knife.

Leonardo gently stomped the ground as a black shield appeared out of thin air.

The shield received the Magic Bullets.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom. 

Leonardo had experienced this, so he wasn't impressed by its power at all." He nodded. "Give me the second one."

"Okay, these are the customized Magic Bullets." Theo smiled and waved his hand, sending ten customized Magic Bullets.

When the shield received these bullets, it started shaking as the explosions caused by these bullets were larger than the previous ones. 

"Hoh?!" Impressed by Theo's customized Magic Bullets, Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and turned to Agata. "You should watch this too." 

"Ahaha…" Theo scratched the back of his head. "As expected, you have deciphered it."

"Yeah. The difference is quite glaring." Leonardo shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

Agata came closer as she watched the two. 

"Go make another one." 

"Here you go." Theo summoned normal and customized twenty Magic Bullets each and shot Leonardo's shield. 

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Because she didn't experience it herself, she was confused and admitted, "I'm sorry. I don't understand. All I can see is that the other half is more powerful than the first one." 

"And why is that?"

Agata looked down, contemplating her answer. She ended up shaking her head, not knowing the reason. 

"That's because he's trapping the air inside and compressing it a bit to give a good boost to its power." 

"Ah!" Agata came to a realization. This was her topic this whole time. After all, she was trying to infuse some air into her illusion to make the illusion more compact. To think Theo managed to do it first.

"There are many things I can do with this." Theo nodded and summoned ten Magic Bullets. He then moved the Magic Bullets in front of him and infused his Magic Power. 

Suddenly, a thin layer of blue-colored glass appeared, connecting each Magic Bullet and making a round screen between the bullets. 

"This is…" Agata gasped.

"Yeah. I'm using my Control to make an artificial shield. I can make it sturdier with my Sense of Touch, but my mastery is very low since I haven't practiced it at all, so it's not possible for me right now. Still, the possibility is there, and it makes me happy.

"In fact, I can even cover the original Magic Bullets with this and give them more power." He smiled. "There are many things I can do with this technique, and I'm planning to do it.

"After all, Magic Bullets can be said to be my basic skill since it can distract, attack, or block, depending on how I plan to use it. In other words, it's the most versatile skill for me.

"I got this idea after listening to Sir Leonardo's explanation when he taught you." Theo smiled.

Agata didn't know what to say. Theo was indeed a monster. Even an explanation that shouldn't be related to him was used to his advantage to create a technique that suited his current need. 

"Ehm, congratulations."

"Thanks." Theo smirked.

'I see. He absorbs every knowledge and doesn't stop there. He's using all kinds of techniques whether they're related or not.' Agata thought inwardly and sighed. 'I, too, shouldn't feel satisfied with what I have achieved. Instead, I should learn everything and upgrade my own skill to another level.'

She had seen what Theo could do and planned to reach his level so as to avoid getting left behind.

Suddenly, Ava leaped on Theo's lap as she raised her foot. "Kyu, Kyu!" 

Theo smiled. "What is it?"

"Kyu!" Ava raised both feet and summoned a bolt of lightning. After that, she waved her hand left and right as the lightning began to move and bounce on the ground like it was alive. 

"Oh, your Control is good. How about the power?" Theo asked.

Ava made a smug smile as she raised the bolt of lightning to the air and exploded.

Boom. 

The bolt of lightning expanded and created a sphere in the air. 

Theo raised his eyebrows. "That's impressive."

"That's quite good." Leonardo smirked. "Though, I believe that's not all."

"Kyu!" Ava smirked. 

"What do you mean?" Theo frowned. 

"Try touching the area." Leonardo pointed to the air where the explosion occurred. 

Theo was confused, but he still used his Telekinesis to float in the air. When his hand entered the area, he instinctively pulled it out as his body dropped a few inches due to the shock.

"What's that?" Theo opened his mouth in amusement. 

"The electricity still remains in the air and if you fight in there, Ava will have a great advantage because your body will be numb. It's not enough to kill you, but you're bound to make a mistake there." He smiled. "If I'm not wrong, you can't use any technologies there either."

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and took out his Skylink. The signal was non-existent and the screen was blinking.

"Well… Impressive."
