System vs Rebirth

After that day, Noel had never spoken a single word to Anna anymore. It was clear that there was a bridge between their relationship.

On the one hand, Anna had taken the first step to her change which was to apologize. On the other hand, Noel still couldn't accept that apology.

She could understand Noel's perspective since she might do something even worse if she was in his position. In fact, it was because Noel was kind that he became like this.

She never saw that kindness a weakness. After all, Noel helped so many people and gained many allies from all around the kingdoms in the past. That kindness became the bond between him and the people. That was why Noel's kindness was actually his biggest strength.

The biggest challenge to that kindness was the hatred toward her family and the royal family.

In the past, Anna never apologized and kept being ignorant. That was why it was easy for Noel to decide an uprising to take his revenge.

In this life, Anna wanted to change for the better. She wasn't a cruel person anymore that killed people just because she wanted to do it. Instead, she tried to help others as much as she could like how Noel treated others.

That was why it became much harder for Noel to kill her. And that was why Noel didn't want to be indebted or reliant on her.

Although it looked like a foolish move, Noel stopped sparring with Anna because he had to sort his feeling out.

At the same time, if he continued like this for the next two months, he would lose a total of 180 spars, which could transfer to 0.5% of Spiritual Energy with his training. It didn't look much right now, but Noel would surely feel the effect in the far future when he had more Spiritual Energy.

So, Noel ended up training by himself for five days by himself before he asked Anna to meet him in a quiet place.
