God of Tricksters

Inside a huge hall, a total of two hundred students who had been selected carefully were sitting, staring at a middle-aged woman. She explained the rules of the event to the students.

"After this, there will be ten teachers attending all of you. They'll be introducing themselves, and you're free to pick them as your teacher. However, just like the previous education system, there will be another selection if the number of students of one teacher exceeds twenty.

"The teacher will have the right to test you, so I hope you can showcase your ability to get the teacher that suits you the most. That's all." She turned her head to the door and extended her hand. "In that case, let's invite all the teachers to introduce themselves."

Ten people, including Theo, entered the room. All of them were Mythical Rank Experts, so the students paid attention carefully.

All these students came from all different backgrounds.

Theo could see their different temperament as well as their strength.

"These ten shall be your teachers. Without further ado, let's have them introduce themselves. Let's start with Mr. Eugene."

A man stepped forward and said with a calm expression. "I am Eugene Cliff from the Expendar Group. As you can see, I'm a Mythical Rank Expert and I have deep experience in using my Wind Element. What I'm going to teach you during the next four weeks is the foundation of the element so that you can have an even more powerful ability despite using the same skill."

"Oh!"

"He is from the Expendar Group?"

"Expendar Group is quite famous for their research in elements, so he must be a good teacher for elements."

The people considered his data carefully, but they couldn't cast their vote immediately since they had to wait until all the teachers had introduced themselves.

"Next!"

One by one, the teachers introduced themselves. Some made the students excited, some were lacking in reputation.

Eventually, they reached the last three people.

Ruby stepped forward with a smile. "I'm Ruby from the Manta Mercenary Group. I have a lot of combat experience and I shall be focusing on controlling your elements as both support and attackers in a group."

"Oh!"

"What is Manta Mercenary Group?"

"I don't know. But she is so beautiful. It's better to pick her since the government must have selected all talented people to teach us. In that case, it's better to pick the one that we like the most."

The people, mostly men, were whispering at each other with a smirk on their faces.

It annoyed the teacher next to Ruby as he stomped the ground, stopping all of them from chatting.

"!!!" The students were startled because they had never expected a teacher to behave this way. When they were about to scold him, he announced his name.

"I am Eric Salvatore!"

"…" All people suddenly fell silent the moment they heard his name. They were surprised because 'Salvatore' was a famous name.

"Eric Salvatore? Isn't he the brother of that famous…"

"Yeah. He must be him."

"I am the Great Fighter's brother, Eric Salvatore. My level is 849, much higher than these guys. You should be honored because I'll be teaching you the famous great circulation technique. No one who can wield wind in this place is better than me." Eric laughed in contempt.

The teachers furrowed their eyebrows because it was a direct challenge to them. Meanwhile, the students were excited because they had heard about the circulation technique. It was the Breathing Technique that seemed to be able to improve their Control.

This technique was made by the King of Fighters himself. So, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Their expressions were brightened, wondering how they should get chosen.

"Only the best can be picked up by me. So, show your ability!"

"Ooh!" The students cheered.

Theo looked at him for a moment before glancing at the middle-aged woman to ask her to stop the students from cheering.

"Quiet please!" The woman immediately stopped them and presented Theo. "This is the last teacher. Please."

"Hmph. There is one more incompetent teacher." Eric snorted, looking at Theo with contempt. He had defeated him during the argument earlier, so he decided to pick on him.

Theo, on the other hand, didn't understand why this guy wanted the recognition that much. He simply ignored him and made his introduction.

"I'm Ary, and I teach Magic Combat."

"Eh?" The people were surprised by Theo's introduction. Even the other teachers still took at least ten seconds to introduce themselves. Yet, Theo finished his introduction before they could even hear him.

"What?"

"What did he say?"

"What is Magic Combat?"

"Why is his introduction so quick?"

The students were bewildered because they didn't understand a single thing from his introduction.

"That's…" The woman had an awkward smile as she reminded Theo, "Mr. Ary. How about you tell them a bit of Magic Combat, your affiliation, or your level?"

"I think I have given the most simple and easy-to-understand explanation. Magic Combat is literally Magic Combat. As for my affiliation or my level… I don't think they're relevant to my teaching. And I will pick students who amuse me. For example…"

Theo glanced at the students and pointed forward. "The girl with blue clothes on the second row, the boy with spiky red hair on the fourth row, and another boy with a scar on his cheek. If you apply, I'll teach you. That's all."

"That's…" The people were shocked. Instead of the students who chose them, he was the one picking his students.

They were baffled because this was certainly unique, but he sounded arrogant and no one could really believe him.

As for the people he picked, two of them came from a solid background and one of them was just a normal person.

"This…"

"How do we say this?"

"We don't know much about him, right?"

The students were whispering while Eric, beside him, laughed. "Your level and your affiliation aren't relevant? Such a big word. You just simply couldn't take pride in them. Your level must be close to 750, and your affiliation isn't a big deal."
