System vs Rebirth

"Well, our job is done here." Noel smirked while stretching his body as he laid down on his back.

Rose was shaking her head helplessly. She wondered what kind of leader she decided to follow. Although she knew about his talent and ambition, the previous negotiation was still too much.

Noel actually managed to force a noble to accept his proposal while maintaining their current relationship. This was a win-win situation even though it was a threat from Noel.

If Noel was allowed to grow for another decade, he might not only become a Spirit Grandmaster, but he would also become a formidable noble.

His level could be equal to an Arbiter's, if not stronger. And they still had to account for Noel's influence.

"Well, it seems that we're done here. What will we do next?" Rose asked. "Are we going to go to those nobles now?"

"Why should we do that?" Noel smirked. "We are visiting this place just to meet my father's ally, right? After that, we will go to Lelelei Fort to hunt a firebird, no? We're going there after this."

"Eh? You sound confident enough that everything will go according to your plan." Rose was a bit skeptical since something might go wrong.

However, Noel raised two fingers, showing her there were two reasons. "First of all, I trust my people. If I give them the task, then it shall be their task. Because I act that way, I can become this confident.

"And the brothel isn't weak, so I'm sure everything can be taken care of even if there are problems appearing here and there.

"Last but not least, Anna is there. Do you forget our original aim? We want to spread the knowledge, so no one can monopolize it, right? That's what we're doing. The minor details shall be taken care of by the people. If I have to handle every little thing, I might die from overwork when I become a noble again. So, you have to change your mindset, Rose."
