System vs Rebirth

"That's basically what happened in the Muivell Kingdom." Raincart had finished recounting the information he got from the spies that the Greenwood Kingdom had planted. "I'm sure that other kingdoms have learned about her existence as well. To think she would be that strong, she can use the True Spirit Body as well, no?"

After listening to Anna's story, Noel couldn't help but fall silent. On the one hand, his ice abilities had improved drastically over the past week. On the other hand, it was nowhere near Anna's level.

Noel looked down for a moment, wondering what he should do. While he treated Anna as his ally, she was also his rival. There was no way Noel liked the fact that he was currently weaker.

That silence of his couldn't help but make Raincart a little bit sad. He comforted him by saying, "You don't have to think too much. Your progress is exceptional as well. If the Ardagan Family is still backing you, you would have reached the same level as her."

Noel didn't reply to him, causing Raincart to think that Noel hadn't recovered.

Raincart asked, "That's right. You're planning to reach the Spirit Grandmaster during your stay here, right? From the looks of it, you are already at the peak of Spirit Master. Is there anything troubling you? Although I'm not good with swords or runes, I'm good at elemental spirit. Maybe I can advise you or something."

Noel's eyes lit up as he looked at his grandfather. There was always one thing that stuck in his mind.

Even after learning the secret from Damian, he didn't know how to master his Undying Fire. Yes, he managed to improve his control and its intensity due to Old Ru's training, but he was nowhere mastering it.

"Actually, I have been wondering about something." Noel scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. He thought this was just a simple question, so the fact that he didn't know it made him look ignorant. It reminded him of how he first started.

"What's wrong?" Raincart asked with a serious expression.

That expression startled Noel. It felt like Raincart was telling him that asking any questions was never a dumb action.

Noel felt reassured and decided to share his problem. "I'm confused about my flame. I don't mean to brag, but my flame is strong. It's so strong that I feel like something is missing."

"Continue." Raincart nodded in agreement as he had seen Noel's Undying Fire previously.
