System vs Rebirth Chapter 171 Misunderstanding, Misunderstanding Everywhere

Chapter 171 Misunderstanding, Misunderstanding Everywhere

While Anna misunderstood Noel's system as the secret that allowed him to absorb all those Demon Crystals in a day instead of the combination of both spirits and their elements, Noel also had another misunderstanding about Anna.

Noel sucked a cold breath while sitting on a chair, contemplating. 'How does Anna have that much Spiritual Energy? But her Spiritual Energy shouldn't be that high since I would have noticed it when she fought against the Advanced Level Demon. In fact, if she had this kind of Spiritual Energy, she would have won against the Advanced Level Demon that tried to protect the Ancient Demon Tree.

'So, she has that kind of progress in the past few months we're together? But I have been training with her this whole time, so where in the world…' Noel fell silent, remembering one mission that allowed her to surpa.s.s him.

After a group mission that exterminated the bandits that captured the demons, they had an individual mission.

There was no telling what she had done in that mission and what kind of lucky encounter she had.

'That time? As expected, with the knowledge she has, she should have known about a great opportunity. Just like how she knows about the Sword Saint Tomb, she must know more about it. But how in the world she knows everything?

'Even my Ardagan has to get the knowledge first before giving the mission. How is she getting all the information? Clairvoyant? Nah, if she has that ability, she won't need my brain to come up with a plan.

'Then is there any possible reason why she has gotten all that knowledge?' Noel thought it hard but to no avail. There was no reasonable guess that could answer her. The best he could come up with was Anna having an ancient book of someone from the past.

That book told her about her current knowledge. And her fast progress was due to this Ancient Book.

And the other reason was about her having an artifact that gave her the knowledge. How and what information she got were still in question.

Just like Anna misunderstanding the power of his system, Noel was also misunderstanding Anna's reincarnation. After all, both the system and reincarnation were something that could never come to their mind due to how ridiculous they were.

"Why are you frowning in the morning?" Layla's voice suddenly entered his ears as Noel turned around, finding Layla with a cup of tea.

"Ah, Saintess." Noel nodded, greeting her. He was staying in her house, so of course, he had to help her a bit. At least, by not making her worry. "I'm fine, Saintess. I was thinking a simple matter."

"Is that so?" The Saintess smiled and sat down across Noel. "Are you fine with this outcome, Mr. Noel?"

"You don't have to be that polite to me, Saintess. I'm no different than a commoner now."

"I truly respect you from the bottom of my heart, so I have to." The Saintess shook her head. "After all, you have helped the people without taking any credits. In fact, your reputation is quite bad among the people as they're thinking you are leeching our achievement. I want to tell them everything, but…"

"Please spare me. They won't believe me and will even misunderstand your words. As a result, my reputation will go to rock bottom." Noel shook his head.

"I can respect your decision. Then do you want me to tell you something?" Layla smiled while taking a sip of the tea.

"And that is?"

Layla put down the cup and gently took off her blindfold. When she opened her eyes, she revealed a pair beautiful silver eyes. However, the color in those eyes had faded away.

"I never once regretted sacrificing my eyesight to give others the Moon Blessing. When I lost my ability to see, I gained another ability." She pointed at her ears. "My ears and senses are getting stronger, allowing me to understand what's going on around me.

"That's why I want to tell you… You might lose the recognition of the people as well as their thanks, but you have gained the respect of our Moon Temple, especially me. If you need our help in the future, as long as your goal doesn't clash with the Moon Temple's purpose, we'll help you." She handed him a letter. "This is my letter of introduction. They'll treat you to the best of their ability if you have this letter. Depending on the case, you can receive the help from our Holy Knights."

"This…" Noel widened his eyes. Never in his wildest dreams would he think about getting this powerful letter in this mission.

"Please accept it. I have great expectation of you, Mr. Noel."

Noel scratched the back of his head. "You calling me with honorific is making this awkward. Well, I'll accept it."

The Saintess smiled. "When you gain back your t.i.tle, I don't mind calling you Lord Noel though. But I guess our status will be kinda similar, so I'll call you by your name when that happens."

"Haha, you really have that much expectation huh." Noel chuckled. "I'll gratefully accept this letter then. Thank you."

She nodded. "One more thing. When you and Miss Anna are going to get married, please tell us, alright? I'll be giving you the blessing of marriage."

"Huh?" Noel dropped his jaw in confusion. "Marry? Me and Anna? How in the world you would come to that conclusion? She killed my entire family, seized the a.s.sets… She basically took everything away from me. I'll kill her!"

"Is that so? Then, it must be my misunderstanding. After all, you two look good together. Even when fighting, you are completely in sync. It makes me think you have that kind of relations.h.i.+p as if you're fated to be together before you were even born. But it seems it's only my misunderstanding."

"Yeah, it must be your misunderstanding." Noel nodded in agreement. Even the Moon G.o.ddess didn't stop him from taking revenge, so it should be a misunderstanding.

"If that's the case, then I should step away since I have another job to do. When will you leave? I'm going to see you off."

"Tomorrow before dawn."

"I see. Then, please take it easy today." The Saintess waved her hand as she walked away while putting her blindfold on.
