System vs Rebirth

"So, you've been the one taking care of them." Noel was amused when Milfa mentioned the kids. He couldn't help but bow to her, saying, "Thank you very much."

"It's fine. I've taken fancy of them too. They are quite talented kids." Milfa waved her hand as if treating it as not a big deal. "You might be surprised by their progress."

"Is that so? You said earlier that they have surpassed that of normal bandits, right?"

"Indeed. Their dance is elegant but precise. Because there is no one who is actually using the dancing footwork to fight, it makes them pretty unpredictable. By taking advantage of those points, they managed to fight against your average bandits."

"You haven't taught them anything about spirits and Spiritual Energy, right?"

"Of course. In the end, they are about twelve to fifteen years old, you know."

"Fifteen, huh…" Noel looked down with a smile. Now that he thought about it, he had known them for more than two years. The moment he became a noble, it should be three years.

The kids were small back then, but they were almost an adult.

With them training for two years, it shouldn't be weird for them to be quite a fighter.

"I'm looking forward to seeing them. But are you sure it's fine to accompany me like this? You don't need to watch over Dimitri?" Noel asked. They were already walking in the town after entering it through the secret passage.

"He might be like that, but he is a trustworthy person. He knows his boundary, so I'm not that worried. I'll just record what he took later." Milfa chuckled.

"Fair enough." Noel nodded and saw the kids' house on the corner of the street.

Before entering it, he could hear a melody. It was soothing yet beating a bit rapidly. Noel felt a bit energetic and refreshed from hearing the melody alone.

"This melody… contains Spiritual Energy." Milfa gasped.

"Spiritual Energy? Did someone awaken their Spirit?" Noel also noticed the Spiritual Energy and thought Milfa would know about it. After all, she was the one taking care of them. But if she didn't know it, there might be someone visiting.

"I don't know. The last time I checked on them was two months ago. I became too busy because of the matter with the Supreme Devil Organization."

"Are you serious?" Noel hurriedly slammed open the door, trying to see the visitor. It didn't seem like this visitor was planning any harm, but he had to make sure the kids were alright first.

But the moment he entered, he couldn't say a single word. The melody stopped and the kids halted their movements, startled by the sudden intrusion.
