System vs Rebirth

"Is he that strong?" Richard narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he saw Noel releasing that powerful fire after all.

"It seems that he hasn't used this power in front of you. Seeing how he agreed to my proposal and baited me to accept his condition, he must know he would win if he used this method. What a monster." Igor gritted his teeth, impressed and annoyed at the same time.

If Noel was in the Demon Hunting Squad, he would have shone brightly. There was a high chance that he would become the next Captain of this squad.

Still, Igor had Richard and Shawn. They might be lacking at the moment, but they were improving rapidly. So, he believed he could leave the base to them.

After making sure Richard wasn't angry or anything, Igor finally presented his right arm that stopped the flame earlier.

"This is…" Richard gasped, taken aback by the arm's condition. He could see steam on the surface of the hand as if the fire was just extinguished. He approached it with his palm, feeling no heat coming from it. "What is this flame? To think it's so strong when it's not even releasing a blazing fire."

"I'm not sure, but it's clear that Iadre possesses this kind of power. Now that I think about it, what's the reason for using his masquerade?" Igor asked while wrapping his piping hot arm with the towel.

"I'm not sure, Captain. However, it's clear that he's good, and seeing his talent, it might cause the kingdom to fight over him just like Anna Stargaze.

"I'm afraid the reason why he's hiding his face is because he wants to remain unknown," Richard explained his observation. Though, he wasn't sure either.

At the same time, he noticed Igor's serious expression and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you being silent, Captain? If it's the normal you, you would have gone to spread the words out of spite. This way, you can force him to use that favor to stop you from spreading the words around."
