System vs Rebirth

Anna was leaning on the tree while watching Noel swinging his sword. This somehow became her night routine, considering Noel only rested his body according to the schedule, not because he was sleepy.

Noel would keep swinging his sword every night during their journey. She even wondered if he was possessed by the sword.

'Still, I can understand how Noel can keep up with me. Well, there will be many problems in the near future. I don't even know how much my actions influence the future. Like the case about the bandits with the demons, I'm pretty sure that there's going to be some reaction from the Supreme Devil Organization. I have to get stronger as quickly as possible… I don't know why but the stronger I become, the faster Noel's growth is. It's as if he can keep up with me the whole time.'

Anna was watching Noel with a nostalgic gaze as if she had known him for a long time.

At the same time, she felt uncomfortable about something. Whether it was due to her using the real power of her Spirit or not, she felt the need to sort her mind.

After some consideration, she quietly closed her eyes and meditated, entering her consciousness.

Inside her consciousness was a plain white room with a man standing next to a punching bag.

The man had spiky yellow hair and a huge muscular body. His gaze was fierce and fighting intent was emitting from his body as if he was picking a fight with anyone that saw him. If Noel was here, he would have recognized this man as the highest ranking spirit, the Humanoid Spirit.

Upon her arrival, the man noticed her presence and turned around, confused. "What's wrong?"

She looked at the man and said, "I feel uncomfortable. Is it because I have used your power, Thunder Berserker Spirit?"
