System vs Rebirth

When the two returned, there was only one person in the training ground. He was Shale, the man responsible for the entire test.

As soon as he saw Noel and Anna, he felt relieved that nothing happened to both of them. Knowing their strength, they would venture deeper to the region, so he was quite worried.

But when he took a peek at their bag, he realized there was no need to worry about them. It was clear from the bulging in their bag that they'd got a lot of crystals.

Without hesitation, Anna took out a small pouch with ten Low Level Demon Crystals in it. "This is for the test."

"Certainly." He accepted the pouch with a smile. "Well, this will be given back to you after the official appointment from the commander himself."

"So, the pair is going to continue?" Noel frowned.

"Yes. Normally, it will be a group of three, but the commander hasn't decided whether to keep the current arrangement or go back to the usual procedure. It'll be announced the day after tomorrow. You've got a whole day to rest." Shale nodded.

"In that case, do you mind if I ask you something?" Noel raised his hand with a poker face.
