System vs Rebirth

The middle-aged magician stepped up first. "You have visited El-Alanca at least once, right, my lord?"

"Indeed." Noel nodded, remembering the time he visited the academy with Rose.

"I am one of the professors at the El-Alanca Academy. And it seems that one of my students has become your guide for a while."

"One of your students?" Noel recalled two people who had become his guides. So, he didn't know which one was his student.

"Yes. He goes by the name Sharkan. After his meeting with you, he asked me about the origin of the spirits. Does every single person have a spirit in their body? If that is the case, won't the world feel like it's fair to everyone but unfair because we're limited by the conversion rate?"

Noel maintained his poker face, but he indeed had this name. He was the one suggesting that the spirits lived in everyone, but most of them couldn't awaken them.

"But why would you be the one telling me this?" Noel frowned. If he remembered it correctly, Sharkan should have asked him to use this topic as his thesis, meaning that this teacher might be trying to use it for his own purpose.

That was when the middle-aged man took out a small book from the handbag, handing it to Noel.

Title: Spirit Manifestation Theory

Author: Sharkan, Dr. Gran

Inspired by: Noel Ardagan

"Hmm?" Noel opened the book. And the opening of the book instantly made him understand the entire thing.

'The Spirit Manifestation Theory introduces the concept of the fairness of the spirits residing in everyone's body, but also the unfairness of one's talent in awakening it. This work is inspired by Noel Ardagan.'

'Dr. Gran' in the book was none other than the man before him.

Noel couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"

"He is currently handling his graduation ceremony. And since my job there was done, I took the opportunity to see the man who proposed such a wonderful idea. He said he wanted to meet you once he graduated."

"Hmm…" Noel examined his face and found no lies. Even the Affection Medal gave him similar information.

Name: Gran

Affection: Admiration (60/100)

Description: Hold dear admiration for your contribution.

"So, Mr. Gran. Why do you visit this place? Since you came through the migration route, you should have agreed that you can't leave this place for a while, right?"

"Of course," Gran confirmed without hesitation. "There is no healer who doesn't learn about injuries and sickness. There is no antidote without knowledge about poison. I believe in this principle, and this is also the reason for my visit. You, who have created runes in order for normal people to fight without a spirit, should be a perfect inspiration for my works."

Noel squinted his eyes. On the one hand, he didn't like that he wanted to take advantage of him. On the other hand, this Gran was quite useful, especially for the mission Ardagan had.
