System vs Rebirth

After finishing the item that they wanted to transport, Noel put on his clothes and went back to the cave. The water level had decreased exponentially, since half of the water in the pool had gone.

The previously flooded cave had become dry with only a few puddles here and there.

Noel burned all those puddles of water to make sure the cave was entirely dry. After that, he placed his hand on the water surface before releasing the Undying Fire.

The black flame instantly covered the water surface, but to his surprise, the flame soon died out.

"Huh?" Noel widened his eyes in shock, seeing his Undying Fire who was supposed to be able to continue burning everything to stop. "This is… It seems that everything won't go according to my plan."

Noel sighed. "I can't burn this water down without continuously pouring my Spiritual Energy. Wait a moment, burn? Did I say it to Anna that I could burn things?"

"…" The sweats soon covered Noel's back as if he realized his blunder. No matter how smart Noel was, he was still a fifteen years old boy, whose experience was still lacking. This might be his biggest blunder so far. "Did I just give my identity away?"

Noel gulped down and glanced to the outside of the cave. He had made Anna stay outside the cave, but he still said about burning the water.

"But… Anna should have known about my fake identity, right? That means she is aware of my power as well… Though, I don't know where that knowledge comes from." Noel tried to make himself better, but the mistake truly brought him down this time.

"…" Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the blunder he made this time was in front of Anna, who seemed to have already known about that secret. If it was from anyone else, his secret wouldn't be safe.

But it was said that one's mistake could make them learn, and Noel wasn't someone who took this lesson poorly.
