While searching for Illusion Skill to change his Illusion Multiplier, he came across a quite interesting skill.
Skill: Illusion Construct (B)
Effect: The user can change illusions into tools, objects, weapons and other items.
He never thought he would come across a skill like this because this kind of skill was close to that of creation. Since the skills couldn't create living beings along with the fact everything was only an illusion and not a real thing, he understood why the skill was only a B Rank Skill.
Even then, the skill requirement to upgrade was quite cheap compared to the rest and he should have no problem in upgrading this skill to A Rank.
If he combined this skill with his eyes, he would be able to create a realistic illusion or effect. That was why he wanted this skill to replace the Illusion Multiplier.
However, considering he hadn't gotten it yet, he chose to replace the Illusion Multiplier with Magic Augmentation to increase his power output. This way, he should be able to hunt faster to get enough money to get this skill..
He just never expected that his luck would bring Maya to him, offering the agreement that he couldn't miss.
Theo was happy when he won against Maya because he would get this skill sooner than he thought.
Recalling what happened, Theo couldn't help but smile, staring at Maya who was still arguing with Nikita.
Suddenly, Maya stopped and turned to Theo. "I guess we are done here. I will bring the skill to you. Don't worry. I will prove Niki's claim about me being shameless wrong. After all, I can say I didn't specify the date or something along the lines."
"It never crossed your mind?" Theo squinted his eyes and asked, suspicious of her thought.
Maya froze for a split second before answering, "Since the fight is over, let's go back."
"Ignored…"
Maya playfully looked away while remembering another thing. "That's right. I have one more thing to tell you."
"Okay." Theo nodded.
"Do you want to be mine?"
"Huh?" Theo tilted his head in confusion as if he didn't hear it right.
Nikita coughed and corrected her, "Young Miss, you should word it better."
"Are you asking me to be your man or your subordinate?" Theo shook his head and answered. "Anyway, both answers are the same. Fuck off."
Maya scratched the back of her head and didn't correct her words. She brushed it off with a laugh and continued, "Ahaha. Anyway, let's get back to the topic. I will send the skill within a week to your address. So, I need your address."
Theo thought for a moment. His address would be found out sooner or later and it wasn't like Maya couldn't find it, so he thought there was no harm in giving his address.
"Okay. I will send it to you later."
"Good." Maya nodded and smirked. "By the way, if you are going back with me, you will be supported not only by me, but the government and Star Group. Don't worry. You won't get any order from them since you're technically one of my people.
"You will get all the equipment you want, including any kinds of training tools to increase the efficiency of your practice. Also, we have several Mythical Rank Experts who are ready to guide you and many staff that will help with the utilities and other things.
"In other words, you don't need to think about anything. We will take care of you as long as you keep getting stronger. And yes, there will always be an examination to make sure you are not slacking. The exams will be held every three months."
Theo narrowed his eyes and remembered Maya's first offer when they were at the banquet. "Is that the reason you told me to do a mission with you every three months?"
"Yep." Maya acknowledged it. "I mean, we don't want someone to just get all the resources to be lazy. I don't mind spending money, but everything is just a form of investment. Even I spend money on these weapons so I can get stronger and level up faster."
"That's fair." Theo agreed with her.
"That's why spending hundreds of millions if not billions is not that much of a problem as long as you can prove that you're worthy to gain that incentive." She smirked. "Normally, the exams will allow me to audit the amount of money I give you for the next three months."
"Well, that's the only thing I can praise you, Miss." Nikita nodded.
"What do you mean the only thing?" She squinted her eyes and complained. "Look, I have many good things you can praise. I am fair, beautiful, rich, hardworking—"
"Okay, okay. You're bragging again."
"So, you agree with me?"
Nikita didn't answer. She pointed her finger at Theo who already looked away to admire the scenery. "He's already bored."
"…" Maya let out a long sigh. "Fine. Let's go back. That's an offer from me and I'm sure you can get more if you come with me, Theo. I hope you can consider it."
"I understand. I will consider it." Theo nodded. "I will tell you when I am ready to go. At that time, we can finalize the contract."
"Okay." Maya paused for a moment. "By the way, who else has approached you? Definitely not China, Egypt, and Japan."
Theo shrugged, answering her with another question to change the topic. "Though, I want to ask you one question."
"What is it?"
"Do I need to fight people unnecessarily, for example… some petty reasons such as envy or greed?"
"You will have a house of your own, so no one will bother you unless there's an important thing going on. Well, some will probably check you up, especially regarding your condition. If you want some advice, you can go to the office. I can see that you're good at camouflaging, so I think that's fine. As for the mission, I am in charge.
"I can't promise you that your life is not in trouble, but I can promise you to minimize that problem unless you seek the trouble itself."
"Hmm…" Theo looked down, thinking about it. "Okay. That's enough for the answer."
"Good. Shall we go back?"
"Sure."
