System vs Rebirth-Novel



Noel and Anna continued working on their control. Now that they had reached an agreement, they began to observe each other and explain what they found.

Anna found multiple mistakes in Noel's control and fixed them for him. Meanwhile, Noel also had his own different perspective that even Anna just figured out.

Instead of fighting against each other, they ended up working together to hasten their progress.

However, Noel still couldn't forget how Anna expressed her concern. It seemed that Anna thought her life in the alternate world was real, impacting her behavior. The Noel in that world should have done a lot for her as if trying to change her.

In the end, they couldn't achieve anything before getting betrayed. It seemed that Anna was burdened by the fact that she killed a lot of people in that world. Most of those people didn't deserve death.

Hence, when Anna received all that memory, her mind underwent an abrupt change. She realized that she had done everything wrong and tried to fix it to atone for her sins.

And one of the objectives should be changing him so that they don't have to fight anymore and end up getting betrayed.

He completely understood her concern. And all the pieces of information she had revealed were quite similar to that alternate world.

Noel couldn't help but feel a bit curious regarding this matter. On the one hand, Anna considered it an alternate world. On the other hand, she spoke like she had completely experienced that world.

Of course, he understood that receiving a memory of that world, especially if that memory came from birth to her death, would definitely feel real and affect her personality. But Noel felt like this matter wasn't as simple as that.

Noel occasionally took a peek at her, thinking about this matter. Like how Anna believed that they could go further if they joined hands, Noel also recognized that the only one who could probably stand beside him on that path was Anna.

This made him in a dilemma. Noel considered Anna his friend, or even more than just a friend. However, Noel still couldn't see Anna romantically despite spouting everything regarding his woman, marriage, and so on. In fact, this was also the reason why he never thought much about other women in his life.

He had certainly overcome his trauma, but if he thought about the continuation of the Ardagan Family, he couldn't help but think about the effect of Ardagan.

As he learned from Ardagan, he wouldn't be able to produce more than one heir. In addition, his goal would definitely cause his wife to be sad.

Hence, he had to be careful when he picked someone to be his wife.

Still, there was something bothering him. The Noel from that alternate world seemed to be doing his best to change Anna.

It felt like the Noel in that world wished to mend their relationship and eventually work together.

So, Noel couldn't help but wonder if the Noel in that world had fallen for Anna.

Whenever he thought about it, he could only pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling troubled by that thought.

And due to this thought, his progress became a bit slower. On the other hand, Anna had resolved one of the biggest hurdles in her heart, causing her to tackle the current training with a clear mind.

…

Two days later.

Anna opened her eyes right before sunset. When she looked at her hands and moved to her entire body, she realized that she had done it.

She had managed to create an outer layer that looked like skin all around her body. However, her control could only maintain it for three seconds before it disappeared.

"…" Anna fell silent while taking a glance at Noel. Noel had covered his body, but his head still looked like a helmet. If this continued, he should be able to achieve it right before they fell asleep.

However, looking at his progress ended up making her feel slightly ashamed. After all, Noel was the reason why she managed to clear this hurdle so quickly.

In the end, Anna closed her eyes once again. This time, she enveloped her body and inflated the head so that it looked like she hadn't completed her training.

It seemed that she was planning to make it look like she had lost this battle to thank Noel for the answer.

Old Ru might not be around them, but Damian, Dimitri, and Nicole were watching them the whole time, including how Anna behaved.

"Huh? Why did Anna do something like that?" Nicole frowned.

"Can't you see that she is in love with him?" Damian smirked.

"If I'm not wrong, Anna and Master often make a little competition. It seems that Anna is planning to let Master win." Dimitri frowned. "I don't know what happens between each other, but their relationship has become weirder ever since we reached that camping site."

"Hmm?" Nicole scratched the back of her head. "I thought that Anna hated the Ardagan Family to the bone and wanted to eliminate them to remove future threats."

"That was what I thought as well to the point where I wanted to humble her. But she had definitely changed." Dimitri shook his head helplessly, remembering the fights they had in the past.

"Don't you think something will happen since they are sleeping in the same room?" Damian smirked, teasing Nicole and Dimitri since they were Anna and Noel's guardians.

Surprisingly, Nicole didn't give any reaction as if she had given her approval. Noel had two spirits and was the heir of the Ardagan Family. So, there was no objection from her, especially after seeing Noel was this capable.

As for Dimitri, he claimed, "Those two actually joined their beds together."

"How did you know?"

"I'm a butler, you remember? I thought about tidying up their beds and cleaning up their room. But once I saw it, I couldn't help but nail those beds together so that they couldn't separate anymore." Dimitri looked calm and collected, but Nicole and Damian could sense that he was proud of it.
