Chapter 535: Meeting Hel

Name:God of Tricksters Author:Fixten
"Ehm…" Theo looked at her with a weird expression. He looked down for a moment, contemplating his choice.

"I have two questions that I would like you to answer."

"Ask away." Nina nodded.

"First question… Is it fun for you to know my situation?" Theo asked as he couldn't help but recall the time they spent together.

Despite knowing the entire situation now, the memory he had together with Nina was real to him.

After hearing Theo's question, Nina closed her eyes and said, "When observing you, I have found your little rabbit… If I hit her several times, what would you feel?"

Theo let out a long sigh. The answer was obvious, but no words came out of his mouth for a while.

"Then my second question is… Are their words absolute to you?" Theo asked.

Nina flinched as she never thought Theo would ask this question. "Before knowing everything, what would you do if someone saved you and your brother?"

"I guess that's how you want to play." Theo turned back as he finally stopped looking at her. "What are they?"

"You can understand when you're reading the notebook. As for the bracelet, it's a spear that can help you channel your Magic Power better. Just don't forget to not rely on it all the time. You will understand after experiencing it."

"Okay." Theo nodded. "Thank you for the gifts… And also, thank you for everything."

He almost forgot one thing as he looked down and reached for his pocket watch. Because he was too sentimental a few days ago, he had forgotten about this, so he thought this was a chance to return it instead of handing it to the Eilric Family later.

Theo tossed the pocket watch to Nina. "I won't be needing this anymore."

Nina caught the pocket watch and turned around. "I guess this is goodbye. I wish you a better future."

Before Nina left, Theo added, "You and Alea are different."

Nina widened her eyes for a second before a small smile appeared on her face. She then disappeared, leaving Theo alone.

Theo sighed, seeing his world had broken apart. He had left everything behind… His brother, his master, his parents.

There was some sort of relief in his eyes, thinking he had nothing that chained him down anymore.

"From this point on, I will be living for myself and my future." Theo looked at the sky and raised his hand as if trying to reach it. "I won't let anyone stop me."

After calming his heart down for one last time, Theo finally stood up and waved his right hand.

The bracelet and the notebook flew to his hands.

"Well, I will read it later." Theo shook his head and turned to the bracelet.

He carefully inspected it but found nothing wrong. He could even ask some experts about this bracelet whether he was being monitored or not.

For the time being, he wore the bracelet and took the book inside.

After that, he grabbed his Skylink and sent a confirmation, asking them for a contract. He already had made his decision.

With this action, he had completed his trial.

Trial: Choose a country (Complete)

Reward: Meeting Hel

The tingling sensation began to influence his head as Theo hurriedly walked to his bedroom, locked himself inside, and sat on his bed.

"It's time to meet her." Theo closed his eyes for a second before finding a bright light trying to enter his vision.

Theo raised his hand and covered his eyes, trying to adjust his eyes with this brightness. However, the light soon disappeared as Theo lowered his hand, finding himself standing in the middle of a grassland.

This was none other than the grassland he used to meet the others.

Suddenly, a female's voice echoed in his ears, saying, "You're finally here."

Theo turned around out of reflex and saw a woman with long black hair. Her deep green eyes looked at him, making him feel a bit nervous.

She wore a one-piece green dress that reached her knees and was covered with a long black robe tied on her waist. The robe couldn't hide her enchanting curves. Instead, it boosted her charm even more, making Theo think it was no wonder she was described as one of the most beautiful Goddesses in mythology.

Hearing her words, Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Yes. I apologize if I took too long."

"No need to think about it. If you think your decision is right, there's no need to apologize." She smiled. "We are here to support you."

"Thank you." Theo made a small smile.

She then stopped mentioning his problem and changed the topic. "Since you are here, I am going to tell you something good, especially since you have started training your Awareness and Control to this degree."

"I will be in your care." Theo prepared himself to listen to her lessons. He had gained so much from Fenrir, so he thought this would be the same or even better, considering she was one of the strongest Goddesses.

"What I want to teach you is how to use your Awareness in an even better way. Since little Fen has taught you Control, I will teach you the second aspect, Awareness. This is going to be torture for you, so I want to warn you first."

"I am ready for everything." Theo looked into her eyes. Now that he had dropped everything, his eyes only saw the future. Whether he failed or not, he would try it.

Hel stopped for a moment before nodding her head. "Alright. I will be teaching you for four hours, but it's going to be a hard lecture. Also, I will demonstrate everything to you until you can replicate a little bit of that strength. Though, mastering it is going to be a problem."

Theo thought for a moment and agreed, "I will be in your care. I promise I won't give up on mastering it since I believe it will be useful for me."

"Alright. Let's begin the lecture." Hel smiled as if she felt excited about this lesson.
