God Of Tricksters

Chapter 539 – Learning

"Anyway, that's how it is. I will be teaching the rest of the knowledge within one hour and you are free to ask me any questions." Hel extended her hand as if asking Theo to come with her.

Theo nodded furiously. He promised to get better and learn everything from her.

After agreeing with Hel, Theo's training finally started. As Hel said from the start, Theo was practicing all his five senses.

Of course, Hel's main objective was to master the "sight" first before reaching Supreme Rank. Hence, the training became even more challenging when it came to "sight."

He literally needed to endure Hel's killing intent coupled with the Magic Power. Within an hour, Theo had died more than a thousand times. If they were in the real world, Theo might have actually died.

Luckily, Theo's determination was strong and his mind had become sharper after solving his last doubt against his family.

Theo followed Hel's training without a problem. Hel also understood what kind of feeling Fenrir had when teaching him.

Theo absorbed all the knowledge like a sponge, but it also became his weakness because he needed to be more flexible when learning.

After the "sight," Hel taught him the touch. According to her, the sense of touch could be expanded and formed into that of a small barrier. She called it a domain instead of a barrier.

Within that small domain, she felt everything.

Theo tried to manipulate his Magic Power into that kind of barrier but failed to replicate what Hel did.

However, Hel seemed to be impressed by Theo's progression. She had already told him that it was going to be a long process, so she didn't expect much from Theo.

The third sense he learned was smell. To his surprise, Hel tried to make Theo act like a dog, trying to find the trace of Magic Power between the grasses. It seemed her sadistic side resurfaced as she kept teasing him.

If they lived together long enough, he was afraid he could become like Fenrir. At the very least, he could relate to Fenrir's suffering and swore not to pick a fight with her.

After that, Theo tried to 'taste' the Magic Power. Hel became even crueler as she shoved the Magic Power from her body to Theo.

It entered his mouth and went through his belly. Theo simply didn't understand the taste, but according to Hel, he needed to continue with this kind of practice to make his own taste sharper.

Last but not least, she sharpened his hearing by channeling her power into his ears and mind. The only way to do it was none other than telepathy.

She talked a bunch of nonsense until his ears were constantly ringing.

Of course, Theo also learned the normal way to learn all those things. She couldn't help him when he returned after all.

After a long four hours, Theo stood in front of her with a serious expression.

"Thank you very much for teaching me all this." Theo lowered his head to show his gratitude.

"No need to think about it." She smiled. "First of all, I have a few things to tell you. The most important thing is your learning ability. It's true that you're learning at a fast speed, but whatever you do will be related to what you have learned… I mean, if you learn from a certain ability, your next ability will derive from it.

"What I want you to do is to not focus on that ability, but come up with your own way. I think you have realized this, but it's related to your Materialization."

"Yes. I know. I shouldn't focus on one shape. This one shape doesn't mean a form; it's something close to the way of doing things." Theo nodded.

"I will trust you in this area. Although I am happy that you can master my technique, I want you to be special. Understood?"

"Yes. I will do my best so as to not disappoint you."

"Good. Moving on to the next piece of advice. Just remember that your Control is the primary source of everything. Keep progressing your Control and reach Perfect Control as soon as possible. Of course, I am not saying to forsake the others.

"I don't mind if you are training your Awareness, Breathing, Endurance, or Technique alongside your Control, but you should still prioritize the latter."

"I will keep that in mind." Theo nodded.

"The third piece of advice is about your skills. Now that you can have more offensive abilities through your control, you should rearrange your skills a bit. Though, I am sure you have this kind of vision already.

"Don't worry. I have some arrangements. Hopefully, I can replace a few things after settling down in the new country."

"Good. As for the last piece of advice… Wait, this is not really advice." She patted Theo's shoulders and said with a smile. "Don't forget that you're different from others. You have four of us behind you, so you shouldn't lose against anyone, understand?"

Theo's heart skipped a beat as he felt the weight of those words. If he only had one blessing, what he could learn was limited. He could only learn Control from Fenrir and a few of his skills. Or he could learn Awareness and a bit of Control from Hel.

However, everything changed when there were four of them backing him up. He could learn almost everything and increased his variety of skills.

If he lost despite getting all this power, he should feel ashamed.

Theo closed his eyes for a second as his expression became grim. He said, "Yes."

"Good!" Hel smiled.

Theo thought that Hel was going to say goodbye, but without him realizing it, his head had been turned upside down, floating in the air.

He even saw his headless body with all his limbs cut.

He closed his eyes helplessly and muttered inwardly, 'No matter what, she is a sadist…'

After his mind went blank, his consciousness traveled back to his body.

And there was another surprise coming from him.

There were two rabbits standing outside his house.
