System vs Rebirth

"You are allowed to rest and remain inside the base for six months. That's all. You're dismissed." Clara waved her hand, telling the Zero Squad to leave. Even she didn't expect this kind of attack. She was concerned about Paul's condition. In fact, if she were in the operation, the Vice Captain of the Demon Beholder Squad wouldn't die, and Captain Igor would still have two arms.

Noel and the others politely nodded and returned to their cabins. Their expressions were dark. This defeat was not because of Noel or whatever. They were simply not strong enough to handle the enemies. In fact, without Damian's help, they would've been wiped out when three Spirit Grandmasters chased after them.

Noel was walking back to his room with his head hanging low. He also kept checking the mission.

[Mission: Repaying One's Kindness.]

[Description: Anna has helped you a lot, it's time to repay her. A Rune Swordsman has always been clear with debt and gratitude. Help her finish her advancement mission in Creek Village six months from now.]

[Reward: Force Control.]

Noel couldn't help but shut his eyes. This might be the first time he had failed a mission. He failed to assist Anna in her advancement mission. In fact, this setback might cause her to fail to become an Arbiter within the allocated time.

However, he finished a different mission.

[Mission: Anna's Secret]

[Description: Make Anna tell you her secret by any means necessary.]

[Reward: Anna's Secret and Hermit's Location.]

[Penalty: None.]
