System vs Rebirth

"The situation has become stable. The fort might be half-destroyed, but the demons are almost wiped out. The Superior Demons have died and the remaining demons won't be able to stop those people.

Since Anna was the one inviting him to the hot springs in the first place, she accompanied him to this place to see the situation as well. She couldn't help but smirk, feeling a bit defeated.

She expected Noel to survive, but she never thought that Noel's plan stretched to this extent.

"As expected… I still can't be compared to him in this area. Even though I have grown a lot, he is also growing at the same pace." Anna made a frustrated grin. On the one hand, she felt excited to know there was someone who could keep up with her pace. On the other hand, she completely admitted her defeat.

"Hahaha. It's true I told him that though." Kevin chuckled. "Anyway, I'm not going to do anything with your relationship. You have been plagued by your teacher's words in the past. But I don't see anything like that in your eyes now. So, I know that all relationships, whether it's a friend or lover in the future, come from your decision. All I have to do as your parent is to support you."

"…" Anna looked down, feeling a bit dejected. She thought she truly couldn't win against her father.
