Chapter 546: Testing

Theo finally settled down in his new home. Unlike his previous house, the yard alone was ten times bigger and the pool had a similar size to the yard, making Theo even more comfortable.

With the War God Family taking care of his expenses, he didn't need to pay for anything.

The next day.

Theo was standing in front of his grandfather early in the morning. He wore a white t-shirt and long white training pants, while his grandfather had a similar outfit but all white.

"Why don't you take a rest? You have just come to this country not long ago and it's not like you're not here for a vacation." Leonardo scratched the back of his head before yawning. "I'm still sleepy."

Theo didn't say anything and kept looking at Leonardo with a serious expression.

Leonardo had told him he could practice together at any time, so Theo didn't feel his request was wrong.

Feeling Theo's gaze, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. Let's practice. What do you want to learn?"

"Kyu?!" Before they started, Ava suddenly appeared next to them and stared at Leonardo with a confused expression.

"Oh! The white rabbit." Leonardo bent his knees and extended his hand. "How are you? It's summer here, so it will be a bit hot later on."

"Kyu!" Ava pointed in the pool's direction as if telling him that she could simply play there.

"The pool, huh. What a smart rabbit." Leonardo smiled and waved his hand. "Do you want to join us?"

Ava nodded furiously, wanting to increase her strength even further.

"Hoho…" Leonardo was amused because he knew Ava was a wild monster out there. He thought, 'The white rabbit is quite strong. Not as strong as Theo, but her strength may be equal to the current Agata. And looking at her intelligence… is it a Rare Class Monster?'

After thinking for a while, Leonardo asked both of them, "What do you want to learn?"

"Kyu!" Ava punched the air a few times.

Theo, on the other hand, answered with a calm tone. "Awareness… No, it's uhm…"

"Is it about problem-solving?" Leonardo tilted his head while giving him the correct word with an unsure tone. "Well, I have a good thing about Awareness that allows you to view the battlefield to another level, but I guess you want real-life planning, right?"

"Yes," Theo admitted it without hesitation.

"I don't really mind, but I need to see your martial prowess too. You may not know this, but this can be applied to your battle as well. This way, I can understand your current level." Leonardo raised a condition. "What do you think?"

"So, I need to fight you?"

"Exactly." Leonardo gave a thumbs up. "Of course. You need to use all your strength because I will be teaching you according to what you show me."

Theo looked down for a moment and agreed. "I understand. Let's fight."

"Good." Leonardo smiled and asked Ava, "Sorry, but can you move back a little bit?"

"Kyu." Ava nodded and tried to go as far as possible but enough for her to watch their fight. However, she soon remembered something and went back to the mansion.

"Such a thoughtful rabbit. Moon Rabbit was it?" Leonardo glanced at Theo.

Theo remained silent while taking a few deep breaths, thinking about his plan to fight the old man.

"Hmm, let's see. If you can hit me once, I will reward you with something." Leonardo raised his hand and waved his fingers a few times, trying to taunt him.

Suddenly, two spears stabbed the ground. Unlike the white and blue spears he had previously, his current spears were B Rank.

The first one had a black handle with a golden rose circling around the edges of the handle. The blade had a similar color to the handle, but it reflected light like that of a mirror, making it gorgeous.

On the other hand, the spear for his clone was a red-colored spear. Unlike the main spear, this one didn't have any patterns or color changes.

Theo grabbed the two spears and turned around, shouting with a smile. "Thank you, Ava!"

"Kyu!" Ava waved her right foot cutely.

"Ava was it? That girl will be popular among females." Leonardo chuckled.

"I am not letting them touch her." Theo shrugged. "It's going to be hectic after all."

"Fair enough." Leonardo then raised his right hand as a four-foot-long sword appeared on his hand. He stabbed the ground as a blue light descended from the blade to the ground.

The blue light then expanded and formed from rectangular lines on the ground.

Suddenly, a colossal figure similar to his Death Avatar appeared behind him. He had a golden crown and big sword, staring at Theo.

After that, another two figures emerged from thin air. They had a huge shield on their hand and gently put the bottom part on the ground.

White light appeared from the middle of the shields and the sword, forming a triangle line that connected each other. After that, the line created a barrier both to the ground and the sky.

"This is my Chess Domain and these three boys are helping me to contain the effect of our attacks. So, no need to worry about missing your attacks because they will be contained inside this barrier. Though, we might need some gardening later." He smiled and pointed at Theo. "How about we make a bet?"

"A bet?"

"Yeah. If you can hit me, I will give you something big that can increase your strength. If you can't hit me even once, I want you to call me Grandfather once… Just one time is enough."

Theo frowned, feeling a bit weird. However, seeing the benefits far surpassed his feeling, he ultimately nodded his head.

"I understand. I will do my best." Theo took a deep breath, summoned his clone, and handed the spear.

Both of them raised their weapons in unison as Theo said, "I apologize in advance. I don't know if I can hit you, so I am going with the intention to kill."

"If a brat like you can easily injure me, then I am not qualified to have this title." Leonardo smirked as his heart felt the excitement from this battle. "Come!"
