System vs Rebirth

"Hmm?" Noel glanced at Anna who just returned and asked, "You good?"

Anna nodded with a serious expression. After getting Anna's confirmation, Noel continued his practice. Meanwhile, Anna took a moment to think about the knowledge that the Thunder Berserker Spirit gave her earlier. She still couldn't comprehend how the Thunder Berserker Spirit would give this technique.

The technique itself wasn't that hard, but if she had to fight Noel before applying the technique, she had to restrain him somehow.

"…" Anna took a peek at Noel once again before closing her eyes with a troubled expression.

She didn't know what to do.

"Anyway, we have to wait until dawn before executing the plan. It's also better since we'll get a good visibility." Anna muttered in a low voice while examining Noel's body. She had to make sure that he didn't train too hard that it would affect his performance tomorrow. Though, it seemed Noel just made a simple swing without putting too much power. A swing like this wouldn't do anything to the current Noel.

Since there was nothing she could do, she just sat there without doing anything while thinking about what her spirit said earlier.

'Noel this, Noel that, huh…' Anna lowered her head. 'It's true that I have been trying to learn from Noel, but it seems that I've come to accept that I'm inferior to him? No, my talent should be similar or higher than Noel.

'Even though I want to change Noel, it doesn't mean I'm going to pursue my own path. Have I truly forgotten this? Has Noel changed me to this weak self?' Anna let out a long sigh, realizing that she had softened a bit too much.

Noel was indeed special in her mind, but there was this charm that somehow made people accept Noel. Even she didn't know what it was.

She couldn't help but be curious and ask, "Noel. Why do you help people in the first place? Normally, Nobles won't be this kind to the commoners, especially those who live in the village."

"Huh? This comes out of nowhere." Noel's eyebrows twitched.
