As soon as he reached his house, he dropped to the couch on his belly before turning around, opening his status.

"Hmm… I have leveled up from Level 69 to Level 111 in two weeks or a total of 42 levels. And if I were alone, I should be able to surpass that number, but I guess it's fine since I need to work with this team for the time being. After gaining recognition from the country, I will ride that wave to increase my level as quickly as possible… alone." Theo narrowed his eyes and looked at his status. "For now, I should go to the Magician Temple to change my job to Assassin Temple's Illusionist.
"Before, I believed that my strength was focused on my Clone and Magic Bullet, which gave me powerful attacks, making Magician suitable for me. As for the Fighter, it's the best one for me since I've been fighting with a spear as my main weapon.
"But after the Illusion Multiplier, I know that I am more suitable in directing the entire fight. Although I feel the need to have Magician skills to make the entire situation even more effective, it's not my main concern.
"From my point of view, I think it's good to have two specialized skills from each temple while the rest will be used as complementary skills for my overall ability. What I need right now are two Spear Skills since I don't think Focused Charge will work for me after this.
"Then, Magic Bullet will be my main offensive ability while Illusion Multiplier works for my Illusionist Job. The rest of the skills will consist of Haste, Clone, Blink, and Elemental Shield. In that case, I need four more skills. And I feel like I can get a clearer picture of what I want to become after experiencing so many battles. I guess experience does matter.
"Still…" Theo closed his eyes, remembering that many things happened. His consciousness slowly faded away as he fell asleep. Even though he didn't show it during the trip, it was his first time camping that long in that world, so his body had been worn out this whole time.
And when he thought he could rest upon returning to Art Beats Castle, he met another hard battle. Only at home could he finally relax his body a bit and drift away into the dream world.
…
A few hours later, Theo woke up and quickly rose from the couch, looking left and right. He realized he dozed off unintentionally.
"What did I want to do again?" Due to his sleep, he still needed time to gather his thoughts for a moment. "Ah, right. I should go to the Magician Temple to change my job. As for skills, I should probably search for one or two in the Skynet."
Before going to the Magician Temple, he took a shower and found Radvils' message. Curious, he opened the message and read it.
"Don't reply to this message if you have told your friend about the sabotage and meet me at my office tomorrow. It's just two rooms away from the principal office. I need to discuss something with you after school tomorrow."
Theo narrowed his eyes and muttered, "I don't know what he wants to talk about, but I guess I should go since he helped me register the leave even though we ended up not needing it. The battle ended earlier than expected after all.
"And I do want to understand what's going on, so I hope he will answer that question. Also, it seems this is going to be a private talk." Theo let out a long sigh, feeling he would face another headache to talk face to face with this instructor. Although he felt happy he could talk with many people, including a cunning one like Nart, since it improved his understanding greatly, it was tiring to have a mind battle in a conversation.
After arriving in front of the Magician Temple, he looked at the building with a smile behind his mask. Yes, he registered in this guild as Joker, so he needed to put on his mask. "Time to go."
Little did Theo or any other people in the group know, Phyrill's condition wasn't that good either. In front of Hilbert Family Mansion, Phyrill, who just returned from his trip, walked with his body swaying left and right. A middle-aged man quickly came out of the house, running to him while crying. "Young Master! Are you alright?"
If Theo were here, he would've recognized this person. He was the same person that tried to rescue Phyrill when he met him.
Phyrill smiled at him before his legs went limp and fell.
The middle-aged man increased his speed and gently caught him before he touched the ground. "Young Master… You…"
"I am fine."
"We need to call the doctor right now. Have you taken your medicine?"
"Yeah." Phyrill nodded. "I am just too tired after these two weeks."
"This… You should still rest for at least a couple of weeks. If not, your body will—" Before he finished, Phyrill stopped him by gripping his hand.
The middle-aged man looked at him worriedly before he saw Phyrill making a genuine smile. He looked to the sky and said, "Still, the past two weeks are one of my happiest memories. It's been a while since I felt so free."
The middle-aged man closed his eyes with a pained look. He had been watching Phyrill since he was small, so he was a bit overprotective. At the same time, during those years, Phyrill had suffered so much due to the condition, making him unable to do what normal people can do.
Looking at him smiling like this, he couldn't help but tear up, feeling overjoyed. While wiping his snot, he said with a smile. "I… I'm glad. Just a bit more, Young Master. I will help you until the time has come…"
"Don't cry. I can still endure this." He shook his head and said. "I feel like the next few months will be interesting for me. I hope this body can endure…"
