System vs Rebirth

"Yeah, yeah. We only have thirty minutes, so I'd rather get what I need first before looking around." Noel shrugged and walked to the shelves where they stored Ancient Books.

"Well…" Anna had an awkward smile but still stopped looking around and followed him to the book section.

"Hmm…" Anna narrowed her eyes while saying, "The Ancient Books are for those who have high conversion rate since most people are like that in the past… So, the intensity and power are different. Even so, the Ancient Books are divided into a few ranks as well.

"They are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Level. What kind of books are you planning to get? The Advanced Level Books?" Anna asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" Noel sighed, feeling a bit annoyed that there was a need for her to ask this question. He thought Anna had been underestimating his intelligence.

"If you get the Adv—"

"It's obviously Beginner Book." Noel shook his head helplessly while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Do you think I'm a fool? I know that my current level is not enough to use those powerful stuff. I should choose something that suits me. There is still a chance to exchange for something better later."

"Oh…" Anna scratched the back of her head, feeling embarrassed. However, this was the perfect time she tested it. She opened her mouth and spoke in a low voice. "I'm sorry…"

There was no response from Noel as the latter ignored her and started searching for the books.

"…" Anna was speechless and ended up sighing. Ultimately, she looked around to find a book that suited her too.

After ten minutes, Anna had picked her two Ancient Techniques.

'Lightning Z-Bird Step.'

'Four Points Circulation.'

Noel still had a hard time picking on his second book. Seeing his struggle, Anna thought she could give some advice to him. "Are you still searching for one?"
