System vs Rebirth

An hour ago.

Paul and Clara were sitting in front of each other. Even though there was a pile of papers on her desk, Clara actually left them behind so that she could have a serious talk with Paul.

"So, why are you here? You're supposed to come back in a few months." Clara asked with a serious expression. The change of schedule took her by surprise, but Paul wasn't someone who would do it without any reason. So, she asked him first.

Paul explained Noel's worries and how the enemies behaved. Even Clara could connect all of them, so the speculation might be true.

Still, seeing how much Paul trusted Noel, it seemed he had figured out Iadre's real identity.

"It seems that you've figured it out, Paul."

"What are you talking about?"

"Iadre's identity."

"Ah…" Paul nodded, confirming it. "Yes. He has different powers, so it confuses me even now. But it's clear that Iadre is Noel Ardagan. As for his powers, I'll just consider them his talents. Looking at this again, it's clear that Noel is the most talented person in the kingdom, not Anna Stargaze."

"That's true. It's sad that such a talented person is under continuous attacks from the royal family. If he's able to develop his abilities, he might even become the greatest person in the world." Clara let out a sigh. It was such a waste if Noel couldn't properly train and utilize his abilities. But they couldn't really do anything with their current position.

So, Clara changed the topic. "So, I'm assuming that you want to get the holiday…"
