God of Tricksters

Chapter 105 - Assessment

In the Principal Office, Eigen still couldn't let Radvils go because of the previous match-up. He never thought Eigen would discriminate against the students and put all the very talented students in one group regardless of what he said to him.

However, he could also understand why he did such a thing. He simply had a mixed feeling of his approach.

After contemplating for a while, Eigen decided to invite Radvils to his office to discuss his plan.

When Radvils entered his office, his eyes were glued to the screen on his Skylink.

"Radvils."

"Wait a minute." Radvils raised his hand while his eyes still remained on the screen. "I need to focus on this match."

"What match?" Eigen narrowed his eyes. It was the first time he saw Radvils so focused on a certain match, piquing his interest.

"Want to see it together, Principal?" Radvils shrugged and found a wall. He activated his Skylink as the device projected his screen on the wall, turning it into a giant one.

"This battle…" Eigen widened his eyes. He remembered Alea lost a few weeks ago but didn't get chosen, so he was wondering why Theo got picked instead of Alea. Yet, he couldn't see a single match after that, making him even more curious about this man called Theodore Griffith.

Since he finally rejoined the match, Eigen fell silent and watched the match carefully.

A few minutes later.

"This…" Eigen started sweating as he felt that the entire battlefield went according to a certain person's plan. It was an amazing manipulation at the school level from his perspective. Although he needed to do more to surpass the veterans all around the world, this person could still be considered a good fighter.

Hearing Eigen's surprise, Radvils nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I can see both teams have a similar strategy. The Student Council team tried to eliminate the magician first by sending Laust Lange. That fake would certainly throw someone off, and Theodore Griffith, his opponent, should chase him to stop anyone from harming the magician, only to find himself trapped by Laust Lange and Jay Mao.

"But since Theodore Griffith also aimed for their magician, it didn't happen. Jay Mao had prepared to hit Theo either way, so he launched his magic to kill him. Once again, Theodore Griffith adjusted his plan and hit Iv Rith in the middle.

"This gave an opportunity for Phyrill Hilbert to go for Jay Mao's neck. Yet, if you take another look at the battlefield…" Radvils narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Principal Eigen seemed to understand it as well and said, "Phyrill Hilbert had been maintaining his position, so his back faced Jay Mao. If Jay Mao could carefully assess the situation, eliminating the shock element, he would have hit Phyrill Hilbert first. This is why it's good for student-level manipulation.

"However, Jay Mao is also a student. It's hard for him to notice it, especially with Ellen Marcines putting pressure on him…"

Radvils nodded in agreement. "At the same time, Sihan Raskaka was always standing on edge instead of leaning to the middle as if he had no intention in stopping Kong Sovan. They probably wanted to test Kong Sovan's reaction speed. And that one slash decided the next course as Phyrill Hilbert aborted his mission and activated the only thing that made him famous… The werewolf's kid…

"Using that increase in strength and agility, he blew Kong Sovan away, so Sihan could go to Jay Mao."

Principal Eigen furrowed his eyebrows and mentioned the sword and spear. "You should consider the sword placement and the timing for spear throwing. Only due to those two could their team operate at this high level. No, I should say these guys trust each other to do their duty."

"No. I don't think so." Radvils shook his head, finding something weird in their coordination.

"What do you mean?"

"They don't trust each other that much. Instead, they trust their abilities. If the coordination is stopped, it's basically that person's fault and they will be blamed for it. This is not pro-level coordination but a forced one. Well, it's a good one among the students nonetheless." Radvils rolled his eyes.

"This…" When Principal Eigen heard they trusted each other's abilities, he was stunned and asked with a weird expression. "Is this what you want?"

Radvils didn't answer. He clearly knew Principal Eigen asked him about their will to win and the confidence that gave them the victory even if they needed to carry the whole team. This was happening to Theo's team.

All of them believed they had the ability to follow the plan and wouldn't become a burden. And even if the others messed up, they could blame them while fixing the mistakes.

Even without Radvils' answer, Principal Eigen already understood what kind of team he wanted to see. It was true that Theo's team was strong, but he still complained, "However, this team… They are just playing at high risk. Although I won't say something like one mistake will determine the fate of the battle, they will still experience a huge setback that will impact their overall performance. They may even lose this battle."

Radvils ignored him and continued with his assessment.

"You can see from this point, they change their target. Instead of going for Jay Mao, Theodore Griffith is planning to handle Laust Lange together with Ellen Marcines. And he will handle it with…" Before Radvils finished, Theo already summoned his clone and pushed Iv Rith back.

"What? Clone? Did he hide it this whole time?" Eigen widened his eyes in shock.

"After getting a word from my subordinate, I've been following this child's progress. And although I can say his lack of experience may become his greatest setback, his head is above the rest. This is the plan he has built since the beginning of this training session. The reason he dares to execute this plan was due to this very trump card!" Radvils couldn't help but smile. "Interesting."

Eigen narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a few seconds, and said, "You seem to have fun with this kid. Are you planning to—"

"But…" Radvils waved his hand to stop Eigen's words, let out a long sigh and pointed at a certain person in the field. "Their plan was perfect, except they miscalculated on one thing. No, I should say, they hadn't experienced the might of this person and the burden placed in his position."
