[Xinhuan: Mia for the new God of Tricksters!]

[Adam_Balch_7324: You're bound to get messed up when playing with a trickster and a prankster]

"Let's say I forgot." Theo chuckled, while looking at the comments. He couldn't help but feel extremely proud when Mia was praised so much by the readers. After all, she was his pride and joy.

He replied to them inwardly, 'Well, the God of Tricksters is just a title. I don't really mind if she gets it. She is my daughter after all. And it seems that both of you enjoy the fact that we're having fun. That's good, since we don't have to hold back anymore.'

"Whatever. Let's go!" Mia didn't hesitate to control the teddy bear to start stroking the hair. Because it had no water, the liquid only caused the hair to stick to each other.

Noticing that the hair couldn't be controlled the way the ghost wanted, the ghost hurriedly sent all its hair that hadn't been affected by Mia. It wanted to grasp Mia and the teddy bear.

However, the moment the hair was about to reach Mia, Iris appeared next to them and slashed the hair.

"Oh! I messed up!" Mia gasped. "Since there is no water, the shampoo is just going to mess with the hair. In that case, I have to use another solution! Let's make this ghost bald! It can grow its hair again, no?"

Iris's eyebrows twitched. She couldn't imagine how Theo taught his daughter to fight this playfully. She had never seen someone fight with such a big smile on her face.

The ghost turned around and formed two giant hands, trying to grab Mia.

Mia formed another bear on her hand and threw it to the right. The ghost didn't know what she was planning to do, but that bear might become another big bear like the first one. It had caught the first bear with its hair, but if there was another one, Mia might use it to cause more mess. Hence, the ghost looked at the bear and tried to grab it with its right hand while the left hand continued moving toward Mia.

But to its surprise, the moment its vision lost Mia, she had disappeared into thin air.

"!!!" The ghost was surprised when it sensed Mia's presence behind its body all of a sudden. Mia didn't seem to have the power to fly, so there was only one way to do it. Did she have a space element?

While the ghost was confused, Mia prepared a few other tools to play along with the images in her mind.

"Hehe. Let's start again. This time, with this!" Mia raised her hand as a giant comb fell from above. The comb came from Theo like the shampoo. Mia only kicked it to stick it to the hair. "Let's fix your hair first!"

Normally, someone would pull it, but because the giant teddy bear had been caught and no one was big enough to pull it, Mia chose to form her toy hammer.

"I'm too small, but let's go!" Mia struck the back of the comb with her hammer so that it could be pushed down.

However, the hair was simply too long, too much, and not smooth. As a result, the ghost's head ended up being pulled back until it fell to the ground.

"Ugh." All the females on the battlefield couldn't help but have their faces distorted, feeling the pain the ghost had.

"Ueeeeeeee!" The ghost let out a scream. Fighting the others was much easier than this, but everything changed when Mia and Theo joined the fight.

Still, Theo had only been supporting Mia this whole time. So, it didn't think to see Theo appear next to his daughter.

"How could you do that? Look at this ghost, it's in pain. Let me fix you." Theo smirked as he stretched his hands.

The threads were extended to the hair as Theo carefully waved his hands. In just an instant, a part of its hair was joined together by the thread and turned into a ponytail. Though, it was only a part of it, which ended up making the ghost even uglier.

"Dad. I think you are less talented than me in this. We can't really set up a salon, huh?"

"Yeah. If I end up getting fired from the academy, we shouldn't have this type of business." Theo nodded.

The worst part of their conversation was the fact that they were seriously considering it.

But for the students, they couldn't help but chuckle. Mia was truly Theo's daughter.

"How can one be so playful and terrifying at the same time?" Maya gave a wry smile.

"That's just a matter of genes, I think." Oliver shuddered. He couldn't imagine if Mia actually played a prank like this on him.

This was the first time they had seen the father and daughter duo fight together.

"Eeeeeee!" The ghost released a cry as it sent all the remaining hair to capture them.

Mia pointed to the right side and gasped. "What's that?!"

The ghost knew that Mia was just using a weird trick, so it just formed a fist with the hair and punched in the direction Mia pointed at. This way, it could destroy anything Mia's summon without looking at it.

However, the ghost ended up punching the air, causing it to think that Mia was just lying earlier. It was also the time when the small teddy bear that Mia threw earlier expanded like the first one. In fact, the other teddy bear shrunk as though it had sent all its energy to the other teddy bear.

And the teddy bear punched the ghost from the opposite direction, knocking the ghost down.

"Oops. I mean, the other one." Mia stuck out her tongue.

Mia couldn't help but recall what happened after eating the fruit that increased her assimilation rate.

At that time, she met her demon, who told her about the second authority.

"Since we've assimilated to this degree, I will lend you my second authority. I believe it's going to give you better control over your ability."

"What is the second ability?" Mia asked.

"It's Misdirection."

"Misdirection? As in the one that a magician uses to lead one's focus elsewhere?"

"Exactly. This ability will allow you to misdirect someone's focus, but if you think about it, what will happen if you combine it with the first authority?"

Mia thought for a moment. "Well, if I just point to one side and say, 'There is a giant balloon,' it won't make a giant balloon since it has served its purpose as a Misdirection. However, if I combine it with the first authority… the moment the enemy doesn't believe there is a giant balloon, the first authority will make it real. In other words, whether the enemy believes it or not, they will be tricked either way."

"It seems that I don't have to explain how to use my ability." The demon nodded, pleased with how smart Mia was.

"This is going to be fun." Mia had a lot of evil pranks in her mind.

When she recalled this conversation, Mia knew that he could do much more to harm the ghost. She didn't know how much it would affect the ghost, but it would definitely hurt and annoy the heck out of the ghost.

While Mia was getting excited with all the pranks in her mind, Theo couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. They had been standing on the platform of reinforced air that he created from his essence, but something had begun to change.

Without hesitation, Theo grabbed Mia and jumped away.

All of a sudden, black-colored energy started coming out of the ghost's body, showing that it was truly pissed.

The amount of essence was enough to make even Theo feel dread. And look at how the ghost was able to summon spiders, it might have another trick up its sleeve.

Theo glanced at his students. Aside from Aurora, Haruka, and Avalon, all of them were affected by this essence. Their faces became pale and their expressions turned grim.

The essence didn't contain killing intent or something similar. Instead, it only contained the feeling of death.

"Dad. This is…" Mia narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah. It's pretty pissed now. It's a ghost, so it might know a bit of death." Theo nodded. "Still, this level of intensity is quite amazing."

"But it can't be compared to you or Aunt Hel." Mia shook her head.

"That's true." Theo landed on the ground as Rintaro tossed a talisman that created a barrier to protect them from the essence.

The students started to breathe normally again. Meanwhile, the three students couldn't help but look at their friends, not knowing why they would be so scared.

Mia hurriedly controlled her teddy bear to punch the fallen ghost, but all of a sudden, the black essence jumped into the air like that of a slime and spread all over the teddy bear's body.

"Hmm?!" Mia's body jolted as she said, "I lost control over my doll."

Theo shouted, "Be careful, everyone. That essence might be similar to the spiders that we fought earlier, but it could take over someone's body. Avoid getting swallowed by it."

Seeing that the teddy bear would become a threat, Iris jumped to the teddy bear while waving her sword horizontally. She wanted to cut the bear into pieces, but to her surprise, every strike of hers felt like it hit the body of water.

The essence just bounced like water and returned to its original state.

At the same time, the ghost shot another ball of black essence to capture Iris. Fortunately, Luca and Lucas had formed a barrier to block the essence. Their pure essence couldn't be penetrated by any other essence after all.

Iris took this chance to get away while Rintaro came to Theo, saying, "You riled it up too much."

"No. You should say that we have cornered it so much that it's forced to utilize this ability. The sooner we can find all its abilities, the better." Theo waved his hand, asking his students not to do anything. He didn't know the property of the black essence, so it might harm his students if they attacked it without any thought.

It gave the ghost time to recover, but it wouldn't be much.

To think that one chapter they had a lot of fun, the next chapter would turn into this.

Theo said, "Oliver, Haruka, Aurora, and Serena will act as our support. Li Wei, Avalon, and Jayden will be the vanguard, so get ready to advance once I give you the signal. Maya and the twins will remain in the middle and watch out for the enemy's attacks. Mr. Rintaro will provide backup, while Miss Iris will go with me to test the enemy's ability."

"Roger." The students acknowledged the order without hesitation. Rintaro didn't have any problems since he was just doing what he had been doing.

Considering Mia wasn't included, Iris nodded her head, knowing that it would be better to work with the father instead of the daughter.

"Mia. Get ready for the second round of fun. We're going to play two games: Simon Says and Jump Ropes."

Mia's eyes brightened. Even amidst their fight, Theo still hadn't given up on giving his child a chance to have fun. And it looked like Mia got even more excited as if she could understand what he was planning to do.

Theo turned to Iris and nodded his head, signaling the start of their plans.

"Go!"
