System vs Rebirth

As soon as they reached the fourth floor, they found a single hallway with only one door at the end. The butler immediately led them to the room and knocked on the door. "Master. I've brought the guests."

"Come in."

The butler opened the door after getting the confirmation, showing a huge hall inside. The hall was filled with bookshelves, and there was a huge table in the center of the hall where the Water Lord seemed to be doing all his works. There were various books and large pieces of paper on the table, so it was clear why he needed that big table.

The Water Lord looked like a man in his early thirties. He had slanted eyes and a gentle smile. He was wearing big round glasses, making his face look innocent. His long blue hair was tied neatly on his back.

Despite meeting the guest, he was wearing a plain white shirt and long black pants. It seemed these were his usual clothes when working, considering he only took a glance at them before returning to his book.

After they came in, he finally dropped the book and said, "Sorry about my display. There has been too much work recently, so I don't have time to change my clothes and tidy up this room to meet you."

Paul nodded politely. "It's alright, Valley Master. We know that you're a busy person."

The Valley Master smiled. "Still, please sit down."

The butler guided them to the big table and brought them the chairs. After that, he bowed to them and said, "I'll prepare the snacks for you."

The Valley Master glanced at their faces and said, "It seems there is a new guy among you."

It seemed he noticed Noel's strength couldn't be compared to the others, making him look like a new guy.
