System vs Rebirth

'That easy?' He never thought that the hermit would agree so easily. After all, he came here not invited. They had never met and their races were even different.

"Why are you so shocked? You don't think I will teach you?" Old Ru smirked, teasing him.

"To be honest, yes." Noel chose to be honest here, considering he wanted to make Old Ru trust him.

"Haha. I like an honest person." Old Ru pointed at his house. "In that case, let's enter first. I'll explain it to you after this."

"I understand. Thank you for inviting us." Noel nodded gently. Noel couldn't help but glance back, worried about Dimitri and the others. "But, Sir. Is it fine if all of us enter your house?"

"The more the merrier." Old Ru chuckled.

Noel didn't know what to say. Old Ru looked like a human. He didn't even see anything that made him look otherwise. Yet, the way he conducted himself was so different from a normal human, especially with how he was so open in teaching them.

However, there was no sign of him trying to lie to him. Of course, Old Ru might pretend to accept all of them and do something later, but he was so strong that he could kill them if he wanted. Even if they used their True Spirit Body, the area was filled with demons. They would end up dying no matter what.

When they were about to reach the house, the door was opened.

"Welcome back, Grandpa." A young man, who seemed to be no older than Noel, emerged from the house to greet him. He soon noticed the presence of Noel and the others and looked at them for a moment.

His eyes seemed to be fixated on Noel, who walked together with his grandfather.

Noel could see the young man's identity as well as his affection.
