System vs Rebirth

Before the meditation training, Shale gathered all of them with a solemn face.

It seemed that some of them had realized that Azgar hadn't come to the training ground. So, this announcement must be related to him.

As soon as Shale stood in front of them, he opened his mouth. His tone was cold and his eyes released killing intent.

"I have an announcement. Azgar has been found to have a connection with the Supreme Devil Organization. I think this organization has been a common knowledge, but I'll explain it to you again.

"The Supreme Devil Organization is a group that believes in the Supreme Devil. What is the Supreme Devil? To put it simply, it is the ruler of the demons.

"I know that you're going to ask 'Is there a ruler for the demons who don't have much intelligence?'

"My answer is simple. There are no rulers of the demons. However, there were three existences in history that could be depicted as the ruler of the demons. They were so strong that they had that title.

"But that's not important right now, I'm going to talk about the Supreme Devil Organization a bit. What you need to know about them is that they have a tattoo of a skeleton with two red eyes and a sword planted on its head.

"The tattoo can be anywhere in their body, so it won't be easy to find them unless you strip them.

"If you meet a person with this tattoo, you're obliged to kill them! However, don't be blinded by this instruction. The reason is as I said earlier, you have no way to find them unless you strip them. If you happen to see this tattoo, you can kill them. But I need to remind you that you shouldn't abuse the tattoo too much.

"Men, don't use this suspicion to strip a woman because in most areas, there are laws that will punish you if you misuse it. Women, don't strip men to embarrass them. Just remember it! If you coincidentally find them, that's the time you should act.

"After the torture, we know that it's Azgar who lets him into the city. Anyway, remember this! You hear me?"

"Yes, Sir." All of them answered.

Meanwhile, Noel narrowed his eyes and realized that the simple rule could be easily abused. He could even be framed by those people.

However, this was where the Spirit Oath came in. He could easily prove his innocence with the help of the Spirit Oath, but it would be different if the people who had no Spirit Seal.

'No, this might also be the objective of the organization… By increasing their evil reputation, they can strike a deep fear to many. And if they are aiming for the demons, they must want this world to fall to chaos. That's why they use this terror to force the people to create this law and use it to create more confusions and terrors. The very law itself might be a flaw that the organization takes advantage of. No wonder they're that evil…'

Noel narrowed his eyes. Although he wanted to care about this organization, it didn't mean much in his eyes currently. He still had his original objectives, so he had no time to get involved in this matter.

"Anyway, now that we have lost one of the junior soldiers, we need to change the condition for a bit. The commander has told me that the pair will remain as it is, so I can't use my authority to recreate the three-person group system.

"Hence, I'll alter the current situation a bit." Shale raised one finger. "There will be one person to be left alone, but it's not fair to do all the missions and training alone! Hence, I'll help whoever wants to volunteer to be a one-man group.

"In other words, I'll guide you personally during the meditation, train your body intensely, and give you some personal advice when doing missions. Yes, the one who volunteer themselves will become my mentee."

"!!!" The people widened their eyes in shock, never expecting this kind of offer from Shale. It was clear that the moment they were chosen by Shale, their status would be elevated significantly.

Although Shale would only help them in mission and training, they didn't need his help if a fight broke out because they would be strong enough to defeat anyone.

Obviously, all the people were excited because they knew how strong Shale was… All, except two people: Noel and Anna.

Glancing at Anna, Noel asked with a nonchalant tone as if it wasn't an important question. "You don't seem to be interested in it. It seems that you are confident that your knowledge is more than him… especially after showing all that stuff. Your understanding is better than him, right?"

Anna's eyebrows twitched but she didn't say anything.

However, this was enough for Noel to realize Anna's secret.

'Got her!' Noel smirked. 'She shouldn't be the arrogant type who flaunts a non-existent strength. So, she must have a big secret that allows her to have more understanding than Sir Shale. Sir Shale might be a powerful veteran, but Anna Stargaze is a rising star.

'Since she is a woman that I must kill, I should stay with her instead of fighting my way to become Sir Shale's mentee. I hope that I don't regret this decision.' Noel thought while stepping back as if he wasn't interested in fighting for that position.

Meanwhile, Anna was sweating. Her face became pale as she realized. 'I've been had!'Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

'That one question was enough to know that my secret is much deeper than he originally thinks. With this kind of secret, he must be finding a way to dig out all of them so that he can see a way to kill me.

'He is paying me back for the question I used to trap him in the forest. Tsk.' Anna gritted her teeth as their battles seemed to haven't ended yet. She ended up backing down like her original plan. No matter what bluff she threw him, it was impossible to conceal that secret from Noel.

'It's payback time.' Noel made a smug smile while Anna bit her lips in annoyance.
