System vs Rebirth

"Hu…" Noel let out a breath of relief as he lowered his vision, making sure the demon was dead. "It seems that I can use it right now."

He recalled the sensation from the muscle strengthening. The power surge coming from all over his body made him feel like he was flying.

"Muscle Strengthening, one of the most basic spirit techniques. My current control doesn't allow me to maintain it for a long time, but this is a perfect chance to hone it. With the life and death battle, I can force myself to continue using this spirit technique.

"From what I felt, it seemed that the Muscle Strengthening increased thirty percent of my power. According to Sir Shale, it can reach fifty percent. There are other spirit techniques that can amplify my power even further, but that's not something I can use right now.

"For now, I need to focus on honing my current skills." Noel was satisfied with his performance and dug out the crystal before disposing the demon's body and cleaning the blood. They were going to live here, so they didn't want the bad smell to disturb them.

"Impressive." Anna smiled while scooping the soup and handing the bowl to him. "Come eat."

"Mhm." Noel nodded. He didn't say anything more because of the previous question. It seemed that there was something that his parents had hidden from him. Or, they might simply never told him because he was never interested in learning about the family business.

'Maybe I should investigate my past… But it's impossible to do it currently since my mansion has been taken over by the royal family. In that case, should I make another deal with Anna? No, I can't trust her one hundred percent. She was the one ordering the execution, so she could lie easily.

'If I don't find anything from my investigation, I need to suspect her as well since she has been lying this whole time. In any case, I'll get stronger first. As long as I become a full fledged knight, I can do more.'
