System vs Rebirth

The next morning.

Noel closed his eyes for a moment as an image of Anna appeared in the darkness, wielding her sword.

Suddenly, she jumped forth while waving her blade.

Noel raised his sword to strike this blade, but once he stopped it, the lightning started spreading to his sword and eventually reached his hand, numbing it. Noel tried his hardest to stop it, but the numbness of his hands weakened them, causing the blade to fail to stop this strike.

Noel took half an hour to think about it before reaching the conclusion. "That's right. The Everchanging Emotion Sword Style itself is perfect for me. If I put Anger into the sword, the sword will become the sharpest. This is similar to the Mega Slash.
