System vs Rebirth

Noel gritted his teeth as the pain started numbing his body. If he continued, he would have passed out sooner or later.

'How should I answer this?' Noel attempted to find the answer that could make him escape this situation, but no matter how hard he tried, nothing came into his mind.

'As expected, there's no way to get around this. In that case, I should avoid the worst case scenario.'

Noel had resigned to his fate as he said, "It can be tomorrow, it can be a few weeks from now on. Who knows."

Although the system had told him the time limit, two weeks had passed. So, there were only two to three weeks left. Luckily, he could still say a few weeks since two weeks could still be considered more than one. At least, this play of words was enough to make him look like he didn't know anything.

As soon as he answered, he could feel the power that attached both Spirit Seals became loose. Without hesitation, he pulled out and glared at her, thinking, 'As expected, that woman wants to trap me. She's truly a manipulative evil woman.'

"So, a few weeks, eh?" Anna smirked. "How do you even know the time limit? Maybe you know something about the rune?"

Noel didn't want to lose to her, so he said, "What about you? How do you know about Runes? The knowledge itself shouldn't be passed on since if the effect is like you said, there will be many people learning it already."

Anna and Noel ended up glaring at each other, knowing that they were poking each other.

"Since you are not planning to ask another question, then I'm going to sleep. I've wasted too much time for this." Anna harrumphed and returned to the tent.
