System vs Rebirth

Noel thought no one would be able to recognize him, at least with just a single glance. However, he might have severely underestimated Rose's senses.

She instantly picked all the details with her eyes. The different colors in his eyes, hair, and sword, but a similar body figure. There might be one more thing so detailed that Noel forgot to match so that Rose couldn't see through him.

It was his movement. Yes, Rose could see the familiar way of walking. It wasn't something other people could easily pick, but Rose saw all those details just from a glance.

The moment their eyes met, all the clues clicked in her head, pinpointing the identity of this person.

Yes, even though he was different, Rose knew the person standing before her was Noel.

Desperate, she jumped forward and tackled Noel to the ground, refusing to let him go anymore.

Noel was startled because he didn't expect Rose to pounce on him. He ended up falling to the ground with Rose on top of him.

"Wait, what? Who are you? What are you doing?!" Noel asked in panic with a slightly heavier tone to match his disguise. "Hurry up and release me. Who are you?!"

"Noel," Rose called his name.
