System vs Rebirth

"Was it because of Anna Stargaze?" Damian wondered. He had been observing Noel this whole time, considering he had taken this trip as a part of his training.

Surprisingly, Noel's growth couldn't be compared to the time when he was with the Demon Relief Group. The flame that he had a hard time controlling this whole time gradually took shape and became his foundation. And he did it within a week.

That was why he couldn't understand how Noel managed to do it. Besides, there were other aspects, such as Spiritual Energy and Noel's body, to be considered.

Damian didn't know about Noel's system. He had several missions that would repeat themselves with a new challenge while giving Noel a boost in his physical ability.

Those were the missions in the Training Tab. He had Running, Push Up, Sword-Swinging, and even sparring missions in this tab. There was also a Demon Hunting Mission for his Medal. This spurt Noel's growth to a whole new level since this place was filled with demons.

The trip forced him to run, the demons made him swing his sword, and he also made time for his personal training.

Without knowing this secret, all he could think was that Anna Stargaze was the source of Noel's growth.

'Don't tell me, there is a connection between Noel and Anna? Wait a minute, Noel once said that if we ever tried to make him marry someone from our place, they had to beat Anna Stargaze…'

'If I'm not wrong, Noel should have some interest in Anna. But there is a kind of barrier that is stopping her from acknowledging that feeling. If I think about the politics of this kingdom, I can somehow link them together.'
