System vs Rebirth

"I see… So, my mother was…" Noel pinched the bridge of his nose, never thinking it would be the case. He had expected that the demon king might be involved because this was the only reason why he had to restart the time.

However, he never thought that the reason why he got acknowledged by Ardagan, as well as the fact he had to endure all the hardship, was because of it.

It was truly an amazing story to know what happened to his ancestors, but more importantly, this story allowed Noel to change the way he thought.

"What do you think we should do now?" Anna asked.

"After listening to the story, I have a few questions for you." Noel paused for a moment, reorganizing his words. It was clear that he was shaken by the story and felt a connection with it.

"I will do my best to answer." Anna nodded with a solemn expression.

"First of all, Livia and Tristan are not ready yet, so it's not possible to speed up the progress on the Rune Body. However, with the story you told me earlier, what if we change our strategy? Instead of letting them do it, we would supply the soldiers with some runes ourselves."

"Huh? You're not talking about Rune Body, right?"

"I'm talking about Rune Spell."

Anna contemplated. It seemed that Noel wanted to change his plan from Rune Body to Rune Spell. It was a good method to train his students and also cost less since they gathered the rest of the materials by themselves. Only after both of them were ready for Rune Body would they begin. "I don't think there is a problem. In fact, in the previous life, you've utilized everything. I don't know which one came out first though."

Anna was implying that he actually used the equipment that had been embedded with runes, utilized the Rune Engineering to change the movement, created Rune Spell for convenience and painted the Rune Body for improvement.

After getting the confirmation, Noel said, "Rune Enhancement will still be Roel's specialty, so I'll let him handle it. Rune Spell and Rune Body will be prepared by Tristan and Livia. The problem would be Rune Engineering… I'm wondering if there is someone revolutionary that could research these ideas."

"What do you mean?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.

"I mean, how about using Enhance Forward Rune in a carriage? Won't it make the carriage move forward without a horse? What if we apply that concept to other items? It can improve various aspects, including the military."

"!!!" Anna suddenly fell silent, imagining the Rune Engineering. What if they used the Enhance Forward on a big boulder? Wouldn't they be able to create a mobile catapult without even the tower itself?

"What do you think?" Noel asked for confirmation.

"I think that is good. I have seen multiple of them. Should I list them all?"

"You can do it later." Noel nodded. "So, who is that person?"

"Actually, I don't think there is a person for that. I've known Howard and the others in the past, but I don't think I've seen anyone working behind the scenes."

"I see." It seemed that getting the clue about this person was harder than he originally thought. Considering the impact of that work, it was normal if Noel actually protected the secret.

However, Anna had a different opinion. "How about I take part in that research? Since I know about runes and have a memory of my past life, I think I will be suitable… at least for the first step. Once the replacement comes, I will leave that spot."

"That's not a bad idea." Noel agreed, but there was one problem. "How about the soldiers?"
