God of Tricksters-Novel

"Well, well. Isn't this Mr. Ary? Take a look at this, your students are fighting and you're here chilling nonchalantly. Do you have a secret hobby of watching your student fight? A disgusting taste you have there." He smirked, looking down at Theo.

Theo, on the other hand, simply stared at him for a moment before saying, "How I teach my students is not your concern."

"Haha, you're just trying to hide your lack of ability by acting that way."

Theo didn't understand that this guy kept coming to him. He started losing patience in dealing with him.

"Lack of my ability, huh? Won't it be clear whether I have the ability or not after seeing their result later? Besides, I'm pretty sure that they're going to adapt the transfer system." Theo snorted.

The guy gritted his teeth, glaring at Theo. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but he couldn't do it with Ruby here.

At the same time, he remembered that Ruby had been sticking to Theo this whole time, making him wonder whether they had a special relationship or not.

He didn't have any interest in this woman. She might be pretty, but he had tried all kinds of women, so she wasn't that interesting to him.

However, he might do something if he just wanted to piss Theo off. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

An evil smile suddenly appeared on his face as he suddenly turned to Ruby. "Miss Ruby. May I have the pleasure to know you?"

Ruby didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she had her mission. On the other hand, she was afraid that doing this would make others realize her true identity.

Still, there was one point she considered thoroughly. Even though he was a piece of shit in her mind, Eric was one of the most important people here. It was clear that there would be a lot to get if she managed to fool him.

After contemplating for a while, Ruby smiled and said, "Yes. I'd love to. Once again, nice to meet you, Sir Eric."

"Yes. Just call me Eric." Despite smiling, Eric's face darkened, pressuring Ruby to accept it.

Ruby felt uncomfortable, but for the sake of her mission, she had to do it. She made an awkward smile while nodding. "Yes. Nice to meet you, Eric."

"Yes, Ruby." Eric smiled before noticing Theo glancing at them as if he was jealous. Eric thought Theo was acting hard to get it because he wanted to impress Ruby and it seemed he wasn't wrong.

With that action, Eric's smile became bigger as he said, "That's right. I know a place where we can get delicious food. Do you want to come with me? Don't worry. Everything is on me. Besides, we won't have so much time from tomorrow onward due to the lesson and all the meetings. This is the perfect time to get something good."

"That's…" Ruby looked down, not knowing what to say. She tried to seek help from Theo, but the latter had looked away.

Eric thought Theo was truly jealous, so he pressured Ruby even more. "Don't worry. I am Eric Salvatore. We can chat about the lessons too since I should be more qualified than him."

Ruby, who was pinched between the two guys, had a hard time deciding. Theo didn't seem to be a bad guy and from the way he conducted himself, he looked respectable and knowledgeable. On the other hand, Eric might have a disgusting personality, but he had a strong connection.

Ruby and Eric didn't know one thing respectively. Ruby didn't know Theo was even more important than Eric. At the same time, Eric wasn't aware of the fact that Ruby was actually a monster, not a human.

Theo looked like he was frustrated and ignored them, making Ruby accept the invitation.

"In that case, thank you for your invitation." She smiled.

Eric immediately dragged Ruby out while staring at Theo in contempt, thinking he had won. And from this point onward, he would be able to humiliate him further.

Theo just kept his eyes closed until they left. They didn't realize that a sly smile appeared on Theo's face the moment they left the room.

'A monster and a douchebag. This is going to be interesting.' Theo smirked. His objective here was to find out about the monsters, so he had been planning on creating something to make the humans and the monsters go against each other.

He never expected that someone would be helping him in doing this.

'Well… This is going to be an interesting month.' Theo muttered inwardly while standing up. Eric's action had given him a concrete plan. 'I love smart people since I can predict their movements. But I also like a fool since it's easier to make them do what I want.'

The academy had yet to realize that a force that would shake the entire academy had begun to appear. It was just biding its time to shake the whole event.

Theo closed his Skylink after getting all the data he needed and returned to his room to prepare for the real lecture tomorrow.

…

The next day.

Theo walked to his class with a calm expression. Before reaching his destination, he received a message from the supervisor.

'After careful consideration, we're going to adopt the transfer system. The students are allowed to transfer once a week, but because this is adopted late, they can only transfer from the fourth day.'

Theo smiled when he saw his suggestion getting accepted.

'This is good for me. If I was Akbar, I would have said, 'There is a hundred percent chance that idiot will try to humiliate me by taking away my students.' Haha, I can't wait for it.' Theo chuckled while walking to his class.

The central committee didn't realize at that time Theo had a hidden intention when suggesting this idea.

And Theo was planning to use that system to launch his plan.

Theo smiled and opened his classroom, finding all his students waiting for him in the room. They were afraid to make a mistake anymore because of what he said yesterday.

Theo walked to the front and said, "Alright. Let's start the lesson."
