System vs Rebirth

Noel and the children were talking a lot about what happened to them in the past two years. They had truly put a lot of effort into their dancing, allowing them to reach this point so quickly.

If they compared themselves to Noel, their speed would be negligible, but the children were also practicing a new kind of sword style. So, it was already amazing that they could reach this point by themselves.

Ultimately, Noel agreed to let them stay in his future territory. However, Noel put on a condition, which was to follow his plan.

And the first part of his plan would require them to gain their Spiritual Energy. However, this action would be extremely dangerous, so Noel added another condition to them, which was to have Milfa accompany and assess their fight.

This way, Milfa would be able to save them in case something happened. If the kids performed horrendously, Milfa would have all the reasons to stop them from chasing after Noel. This would fulfill the promise he had with Milfa, which was not to destroy their talent.

Of course, Milfa would have no right to stop them if they managed to defeat demons brilliantly. For that, Noel was giving them basic knowledge that they taught in the Demon Banner Army.

Because Noel had no mastery in the Sword Dance, he didn't give anything regarding their sword style and spirits. Instead, he gave them the rune book, especially asking them to learn the three basic runes: Increase Agility Rune, Strength Blessing Rune, and Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune. In addition, he gave them Spirit Techniques such as Muscle Strengthening and Spirit Aura Breathing.

With this, the kids would have the foundation for their Spiritual Energy.

If they truly passed all the hurdles ahead and reached his territory, he would definitely paint the runes on their bodies to make them even stronger.

After all of them fell asleep, Noel finally left the house, hoping for the best.

"Master." Dimitri greeted him outside. It seemed he had been waiting for him the whole time.

"Sorry for making you wait, Dimitri. Is everything there?"

"Yeah." Dimitri pointed at the inn. "Anna is also waiting for you in that inn. She arrived in the afternoon. It's the furthest room on the third floor, the one on the left."

"Got it. Thanks, Dimitri. After Anna, I'll be painting runes on your body as well."

"I'm grateful." Dimitri agreed while adding one finger. "But if possible, I'd like to express one concern."

"What is it?"
