After what felt like a long talk, Theo finally opened his eyes, finding Alea sitting next to him while the rest fought outside.
"Good morning." Alea smiled and knew what Theo would ask in this situation. She quickly explained without waiting for the question. "The others are fighting outside, not wanting to lose to you. After all, you just gave them a shock…"
"Only ten percent of the entire world's hunters will receive a blessing. Then, they're categorized from Normal Rank Blessing to God Rank Blessing. It's no wonder that they're shocked." Theo nodded in understanding.
He then closed his eyes for a little longer and recalled what he got from the wolf. The Telekinesis seemed to be good, but he couldn't picture himself levitating in the air just yet.
It seemed the power needed to be improved. Only C Rank if not B Rank Telekinesis would allow him to fly.
When he opened his eyes, he asked, "Why are you waiting for me?"
"I wasn't shocked." She shrugged and turned around, looking at the door as if she was looking at the others fighting outside. "Unlike them, I don't see any reason for you to not have a blessing. It's true that blessings are rare, but whether you have it or not, I don't think it will be a problem. You have that brain of yours after all."
Theo looked her in the eyes and shook his head. "Anyway, I've finished the process, so it's a good time to continue. Besides, the hunt will be focusing on you and Ellen. As for me, my ultimate goal is to reach Level 200, but I don't think it's possible to do it within three weeks."
Before he heard her reply, Theo tried to look at his status.
Name: Theodore Griffith
Status: Elite
Level: 151
EXP: 0/50000
Blessing: God of Mischief
Skill: Swift Energy (E), Clone (D), Cannon Blast (E), Magic Bullet (D), Haste (E), Telekinesis (D), Blink (D), Elemental Shield (D), Illusion Multiplier (D), Illusion Manipulation (C)
Attributes: Strength 230, Endurance 123, Agility 132, Vitality 119, Magic Power 230
Free Attribute Points: 48
'It seems I've got 48 points after ranking up, which is good. It's one more point than my previous rank-up. And due to the lack of a slot, I need to sacrifice my Focused Charge and replace it with my Telekinesis.
'In any case, I have filled all my needs from Fighter Skills such as Swift Energy and Cannon Blast, my Magician Skill such as Telekinesis and Magic Bullet, and Illusionist Skill like Illusion Multiplier and Manipulation. It means I only need to change my Haste this time to something more useful, but we will see…' Theo was satisfied with the arrangement since he managed to balance his skill.
At the same time, he divided the free attribute points to Endurance, Agility, and Vitality equally.
He wanted to upgrade his skills right now, but he knew that the guards were observing him the whole time.
And it was probably Nart's order. Hence, he postponed the plan and leveled up both his Swift Energy and Cannon Blast later when they were outside the facility.
He would also have enough D Rank Skills to level up one skill to C Rank after this one month.
Theo then rose from the ground and extended his hand to Alea, helping her up, while saying, "Anyway, it's time for us to go."
"Yep." Alea smiled and opened the door.
After locating them from the map, Theo and Alea headed toward them. It took them two minutes before they regrouped with the team and Theo began in control again.
Obviously, Laust became even more frustrated to know that Theo had a blessing. Theo could also feel it, especially when Laust was late every time he gave an order and started becoming a bit of a rebel again.
Phyrill, on the other hand, kept asking him to join his family and promised him many things. Unfortunately for him, Theo rejected his offer every single time.
Ellen didn't say anything, but it was present that she was thrilled for Theo's blessing. She was the only one who genuinely felt happy for him.
She simply remembered Theo's past, knowing that the bullied man had finally grown up and gradually became someone everyone looked up to. Theo had been working hard this whole time and she was one of the few people who saw that progress in the VIP Seat other than his master since Ellen taught him Force Control. And she knew Theo deserved this.
She congratulated him and encouraged him to ride the wave.
Theo also thanked her and continued with killing the monsters.
Due to his improvement, even though Theo hadn't used his Telekinesis yet, the group had improved by a lot. Surprisingly, Theo realized something from this rank-up.
Although he barely confirmed it, he realized his Five Aspects had improved. His Awareness had reached as far as 50 feet and his Technique had become even better as he learned more about how to move his muscles, understanding the techniques he learned from his master.
It was such a big improvement for him, knowing that he started closing to Alea Eilric's back, the number one among the younger generation.
Unfortunately for him, the gap needed to get a bit bigger again due to the assignment as Alea and Ellen delivered the killing blow most of the time to level up.
Nevertheless, the group also knew that once Alea and Ellen finished ranking up to Hero Rank, they could aim as high as possible.
Hence, they were a bit more energetic when clearing the rest of the third floor and quickly went to the fourth floor afterward, clearing the monsters while trying to make their way to the Hero Rank Monster.
Although they couldn't reach it on the fourth day, they believed they would be able to kill the Hero Rank Monster on the fifth day, albeit there was one miscalculation Theo had made.
The miscalculation was that both Hero Rank Monsters positioned themselves at the same position on their own floor. And everything soon turned worse after they arrived in front of the fourth floor's Hero Rank Monster.
