System vs Rebirth

"…" Everyone was speechless. They never thought Noel had it.

'Still, it makes sense. That must be the reason why someone like him would follow Noel.' Anna looked down for a moment.

Meanwhile, Old Ru wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent his grandson from following Noel. On the other hand, he couldn't say much regarding Force Control.

However, Noel actually said, "It seems that you are having trouble. It is not that hard to be honest."

Old Ru opened his mouth, but before his voice came out, Noel added, "I will write down the knowledge about the Force Control and give it to you. You can think of it as my repayment. I mean, you have done a lot for us, even teaching this technique."

"Huh?" Old Ru was surprised that Noel didn't even bother negotiating. He simply gave everything away.

Still, in Noel's perspective, Old Ru had taught them a lot during the past few months. In fact, he actually accepted them without asking for anything in return.

Of course, he requested that Noel didn't bring his grandson away, but he could fulfill that just by not accepting Noel or even killing him. Yet, he didn't do it.

That was why Noel felt this debt couldn't be repaid easily. Since the Force Control was extraordinary, he should give this to them. He didn't want to owe others after all.

"Do you know the real worth of that Force Control? That—" Old Ru suddenly stopped talking.

It seemed like his eyes were playing at him because there was a glitch in his vision.

"Kh. What is this?" Old Ru felt a sharp pain in his head before an image flashed into his brain. "This is…"

The image was completely unbelievable. It consisted of two people: him and Noel. It appeared they were talking about something in the house.

"Old Ru. I have this Force Control, which seems to be very important to you. So, can you please take this? Thank you for taking care of me in the last few months."

"You brat. Do you know the real worth of that Force Control? By using that Force Control, you can actually become immune to poison or other status ailments because you can simply expel them by Force Control. On someone's hand, it will be like a miracle doctor, but what if that technique is known by a lot of people? There will be an army of them."

"You have saved my life and even made me stronger. I don't have anything in me except for

Old Ru thought for a moment and pointed at the shell on his back. "In that case, I will give you my shell. I don't think it's enough to repay you, but I don't have anything else. This shell can give you the chance to rewind time. However, depending on how you perceive time, the meaning can be changed. Just like how time always moves forward, the moment you try to rewind it, it will definitely become a new world that you know nothing of.
