System vs Rebirth

Meanwhile, Noel hurriedly went to the infirmary to meet Evan.

Not expecting to have a visitor, Evan furrowed upon this sudden intrusion. He asked coldly, "What are you doing here? It seems that there are bruises and grazes here and there, but it's not something that I should heal. I don't want to waste too much power."

"No. You misunderstood me." Noel calmly explained. "I actually want to go to the library to learn more about Spiritual Energy."

"Library?" Evan widened his eyes in shock. This was the first time someone asked him about reading books.

"Yes. Sir Shale sent me here and told me that I could ask you."

"So, you want to learn more about the Spiritual Energy? Just wait for the official appointment. You'll be learning Spiritual Energy for a few months before graduating to become a real soldier."

"I know that, but I can get the full details and explanation if I read the books."

"Fair enough. This is the first time someone wants to read a book. But well, most of the trainees here are commoners, so they can't really read and write. Most of them only comes back after a few months or years. Well, I guess I can give the permission… But with my schedule."

"I understand. I appreciate the help." Noel nodded.

"You can only enter the library with my permission and you need to leave before I go back."

Noel agreed without hesitation.

"Then, you should go back first. My shift will end in half an hour, so there won't be any time to read. If you're serious about it, meet me tomorrow at dawn."

"Understood. Thank you for your help." Noel then left the room with a smile on his face. With this, the first task had been completed.

The second task was learning how to cook. As long as he couldn't cook, Anna would have the supremacy. Hence, he should use this time to turn around the situation.

At the same time, he needed to schedule his days properly because he wouldn't have too much time for helping people and training.

Hence, he returned to his room to make the plans for everything.

With the addition of the trainings from the army, he would only have one or two hours to read the book in the morning. He then planned the rest of his schedule in the evening.

"This should be enough." Noel nodded with a smile, satisfied with the schedule. After that, he looked at the bag that carried more than one hundred crystals.

"In that case, I should focus on getting stronger." Noel then poured all the crystals on the ground as he closed his eyes while putting the crystals on top of Ardagan's Spirit Seal.

He could feel the steep increase in his Spiritual Energy. The warm feeling from the Spiritual Energy spread all over his body to the point it made his consciousness a bit fuzzy.

"I see. So, this is it… It has reached the point beyond uncomfortable. It's becoming painful to absorb one." Noel sighed. "I have only absorbed fifty of them. It seems that is my current limit. I can relax for a bit to cool down my body's temperature, or…"

Noel remembered the pearl and ice spirit. He took off his shirt and tried to absorb the Spiritual Energy through Heisk's Spirit Seal.

To his surprise, Heisk's Spirit Seal sent a chill all over his body.

"So, that's how it is. Ardagan's flame is increasing my temperature and Heisk's ice is cooling down my body. If I absorb through both of them at the same time, I might be able to increase the rate of my absorption as well as preventing my body from being exhausted.

"Though, I'm not sure whether it's safe or not for my body. I should consult Ardagan and Heisk about this first."

After a while, Noel decided to enter his consciousness. As expected, Ardagan and Heisk told him that there wouldn't be any complication if he did it like that. Both Spirits had claimed that they didn't feel discomfort, so the means must be safe.

With the approval of those two, Noel hurriedly absorbed all the crystals without hesitation. This way, he managed to erase the side effects that Anna talked about. Although he couldn't show this to everyone else, it was good enough for him.

Name: Noel Ardagan

Job: Rune Swordsman

Weapon: Ardagan Sword

Main Medal: Military Service Merit III (Spiritual Energy +2%)

Low Quality Crystal - 109/5000This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Mid Quality Crystal - 2/3000

"This is great. I can feel that my Spiritual Energy has become a lot stronger. I believe that even normal people won't have any trouble in killing 2500 Low Level Demons. This will give everyone a chance to become stronger at the start.

"Then, they will start having difficulty in Mid Level Demon and Advance Level Demon. Depending on their abilities, they can fill them as well. And those who manage to do it must be elites. I think that's how it is? I need to make sure about it with the books tomorrow." Noel smiled.

"Anyway, I'm glad that I have Ardagan with me. A 100% Conversion Rate is simply a perfect Conversion Rate. Its power is beyond everyone's imagination. Even at my current state, my Spiritual Energy is twice as much as the people who have 50% Conversion Rate…

"Still, I can't be too complacent. Although I have a lot of Spiritual Energy, I need to keep training my body. If I can't use the Spiritual Energy well, I won't be able to defeat that Anna. That's why Spiritual Energy is useless without proper combat techniques. Hence, I should learn something that can increase my power. And that is…"

Noel smiled and opened his system, buying 5 Skill Points from the shop and spending all of them on Rune Mastery.

To his surprise, there were a few information Ardagan gave him.

[You've learned Rune Mastery.]

[Officially open the Rune Swordsman Path.]

Skill: Increase Agility Rune (0/3)

Requirement: 3 SP

Skill: Strength Blessing Rune (0/3)

Requirement: 3 SP

At the same time of the notification, his brain also received an influx of information about Rune.

"This is…" Noel gasped. There were so much information to process and they were in pieces, so it would be hard to sort them. However, Noel could say one thing for sure. Raising the Rune Mastery was worth it.
