System vs Rebirth

Hearing what Shale said earlier, Anna couldn't help but make a playful smirk as she turned to Noel and asked, "Should we go on a date then? I mean, training."

If this was the normal Noel, he would certainly correct her again, implying that they were just going to train.

However, Noel actually answered her with a calm tone. "Sure."

"Huh?" Anna wasn't prepared for this kind of answer. She subconsciously took a step back, looking at Noel dumbfoundedly.

"Why are you so surprised when you are inviting me?" Noel frowned.

"No…yes!" Anna's mind went blank.

Even though he accepted it, Noel's sole purpose was to confirm whether what Anna said was true or not. If they walked around together for a while, Anna should slip out sooner or later. Hence, he could confirm that everything was a facade.

'I'm not going to let you lead me by the nose anymore.' Noel was determined to prove her words.

"What's wrong? Since you're the one asking me out, you should be leading. Where should we go?"

"That's… That's…" Anna looked left and right, trying to get some help or some time to think.

But Noel pressed her harder by walking away. "If you don't want then, you shouldn't say something like that."

"Wh-what?" Anna bit her lips and hurriedly caught up to him. Even though, she didn't know what to do, she should accompany him right now. She could come up with something on the way.

'What should I do? Even in my past life, I never experienced something like this.' Anna panicked.

But a scene in the past flashed in her mind.
