[Adam_Balch_7324: In a way that gives you a lot of flexibility since you can't lie, and unless it's blatantly pointed out that you change something with illusion, it would create holes if it later was contradicted]

"Alright. You guys. As you already know, there will only be one mission left for this semester. However, this trip will be somewhat special." Theo raised two fingers. "For this trip, I'll be taking two missions at once, which means that we'll be visiting two worlds in succession."
"!!!" The students couldn't help but widen their eyes.
On the one hand, Jayden and Serena would definitely be picked for this. There was also a high chance that Lancelot would also join. He might have started controlling his flame, but it didn't change the fact that he hadn't gone on any trips. Hence, he would be chosen.
They couldn't help but feel jealous. If they knew that the last to be picked would receive such special treatment, they would have asked to be the last.
"Teacher!" Oliver raised his head.
"I know what you'd like to ask." Theo waved his hand. "Because we'd take two missions, it's going to be a bit special. First of all, Jayden, Serena, and Lancelot will follow me on the first mission.
"However, the second mission will be different. I decided to properly reward the students who have worked the hardest.
"Hence, the second mission will be free for all. Anyone who has worked the hardest will be completing the mission with me alone."
"!!!" All students widened their eyes in shock. Did they mishear it? Theo just promised that he would be going on a mission with only a single student. In other words, this would be a chance for Theo to provide special private guidance.
The one who got it could be considered to be the biggest winner in this class.
"How do we get such a chance?" Avalon raised his hand. If he could receive Theo's personal guidance, it would definitely be worth it, even if he didn't sleep for weeks.
"That's a secret." Theo smirked. "The trip will start next month. For the first half, we'll be visiting the Spirit World and completing a mission. For the second half, I'll be meeting up with one of you in the Knight World."
Avalon clenched his hands into fists. He had to get this chance no matter what. This was his hometown. While Theo didn't usually bring someone back to their world on a mission, this trip was special. If he got this chance, he could show his achievement directly to his family and his world.
Theo raised three fingers. "Before the trip, there will be a test to determine this one person. However, the test will be a secret for now. In other words, I can suddenly surprise you with a mission, I can hide the test and only tell you who is the winner, or I can tell you straight away but in a roundabout way to make you notice it.
"It could be said that all of you are rivals. Even if you work together, only one person will receive this chance.

"And I think that you already know by now. I'm not giving you something unfair, especially for Serena, Lancelot, and Jayden."
The students fell silent.
'If it's fair for us, the test must not require a lot of time and effort. After all, we will need it to prepare for our own mission.' Serena squinted her eyes.
'Knowing Teacher, I'm sure that the mission is also not requiring strength. If yes, Li Wei would have won since he's currently the strongest in the class.' Oliver crossed his arms.
"In addition…" Theo raised a finger. "To make it fair and stop anyone from saying that I'm just coming up with random reasons for the mission, I have written down the details of the test and given them to Principal Victoria. In other words, she knows the test as well as becomes a second judge. This way, I can't just pick any random person that I want."
"!!!" This was a big hint Theo dropped.
'Principal Victoria… Can I bribe her to tell me about the test? But how can I be so sure that she gives me the correct context? Is this also a part of the teacher's plan?' Aurora was fidgeting with her fingers as she was trying to come up with a plan.
'Should I steal it?' Oliver frowned. 'I can just put everything in her office inside my Inventory and probably demand ransom. But she is 'the Victoria' so it's going to be annoying to deal with her.'
'This hint… Is it meant for us to get the information from her?' Maya frowned.
'Or is he just trying to create a rift between us?' Li Wei glanced at the people. Their eyes were filled with greed. Then again, he also felt this was an opportunity he had to fight with all he had.
'Still, it doesn't change the fact that only one of us will be chosen in the end.' Haruka pumped her fists. This might be the opportunity that would change her life completely.
Theo said, "That's how it is. I'll give you this whole day to think about what you need to do. We'll resume the lesson tomorrow."
As soon as Theo left the room, the atmosphere inside the room became tense. Some of them were glaring at each other with hostility, while others were wondering if they could eliminate their rivals early on by making a coalition.
Meanwhile, Theo was walking across the hallway with a relaxed expression.
'That's indeed true. I can't lie and force the author to write it that way, but I don't think the author will just accept it without a fight. For example, if I say I want to punch someone, the author can write me punching someone as I will it or he can trip me, which will cause my fist to fly toward someone's face.
'Of course, it's not like me to trip, but I'm just saying that there's always multiple ways to do it.' Theo shrugged. 'Lying aside, how about it, dear readers? Why don't you guess the content of the test together with the students? What kind of test do I have that won't take too much of their time, doesn't require strength, and is completely fair?'
What do you think?
