System vs Rebirth

Chapter 753 Arrangement

?

"So, what do you think?" Old Ru asked.

"I think I understand something." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"That's good then. The reason why I invited you so openly like this is because of the same concept." Old Ru glanced to the side as though he was looking at his grandson. "He has been with me since he was a baby. I have been thinking about letting him integrate back into the society.

"Unfortunately, his identity is somewhat special." Old Ru let out a long sigh. "If I let him go back to the same kingdom, he will end up being targeted. So, I'm thinking about taking advantage of you so that he is a bit more sociable. I can't protect him the entire time, so I have to prepare him to the best of my ability."

Noel frowned and asked, "Are you asking us to only converse with him? Or do you plan to let him enter the human kingdoms?"

"…" Damian's expression became serious. As someone from the military, knowing that there was a potential spy entering the kingdom was dangerous, but Old Ru added, "Of course, the former. As for the latter, I won't convince him or something. But if he ends up following you, then I don't really mind. Just take care of him for me."

Noel fell silent for a moment. On the one hand, he had hinted that he knew a possibility that Old Ru was pushing his grandson to follow them. After all, he was supposed to be the Sword Saint's disciple. On the other hand, he didn't want to openly say that he wanted his grandson.

Old Ru smiled, "In any case, you have understood my intention. I can see that the two of you are still Spirit Masters. Hence, I will train both of you. As for the Spirit Grandmasters, I don't mind if you're observing the training and benefiting from it, but I won't go all the way to teach you. You should understand why I don't plan to teach Spirit Grandmasters, right?"

Nicole, Dimitri, and Damian nodded their heads in unison. Still, watching the training that a Spirit Transcendence Level Expert gave should be beneficial even for them. In addition, Old Ru should be stronger than their Spirit Transcendence Level Experts.

"How long are you planning to stay here?" Old Ru asked Noel.

"We've used a total of 27 days to reach this place. And it's possible that we will take around the same time to return. In the worst case scenario, it will take more than a month. Hence, we only have around four months to stay here. Is it too much?"

"No, not at all." Old Ru shook his head. "In fact, I wish you could stay longer. But since you'll only stay for four months, I'll teach you depending on your talent."

"We understand." Noel nodded without hesitation.

"Alright. You must be exhausted from the trip, so it's better if you take some rest. We've plenty of rooms in this house." Old Ru extended his hand, asking them to follow him. "Also, since both of you are going together, it's better if you stay in one room. The essence of my training is kind of like that. I usually circulate the energy between me and my grandson, so you two might have to do the same later."

"…" Noel and Anna widened their eyes, not believing what had happened. On the one hand, they didn't know what kind of training they would receive. On the other hand, Noel actually came to this place by himself, meaning he had to get help from someone else. This old man seemed to be joking with them to a certain extent.

"What's wrong? You don't want your training to be fast? I thought you didn't have a lot of time." Old Ru asked with an innocent face as though he thought it was nothing big.

"…" Noel and Anna exchanged gazes. It seemed that they had no choice. They had gone for a lot of adventures together and ended up sleeping in the same tent, so there should be no problem as long as this didn't cause any scandals later.

"I guess we don't have any choice." Noel let out a long sigh.

"Yeah." Anna nodded.

In the end, Dimitri and Damian shared a room while Nicole got a room for herself. But due to the old man's scheme, Noel ended up in the same room as Anna.

The room was quite spacious. There were two single beds side by side. It seemed that even though Old Ru wanted them to be in the same room, he didn't push them to sleep on a single bed.

When Noel entered the room, he noticed something. Every single thing in the room, except for the bed, was only for one person. They had one table, one chair, one window, and even one cupboard. In other words, they had to share everything with each other.

"Old Ru. Are you sure you're not plotting something?" Noel asked with a weird expression.

"I'm not. You can see the training tomorrow and understand why I put you in a single room." Old Ru shook his head helplessly.

"…" Noel furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what kind of training could convince them. Ultimately, Noel decided to enter the room, resigning to his fate.

Meanwhile, Anna still stood at the entrance as if she was hesitating.

"What's wrong? You don't want to do this?" Old Ru asked.

"That's not it." Anna shook her head. Their relationship and identities as knights had gone past the point where they would be embarrassed by this.

The only thing that distracted her this time was what Old Ru had been saying the whole time. It felt like her reincarnation was related to his.

She wanted to ask about it, but she didn't know whether the other party would answer or not.

"It seems that you have a lot of worries." He snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the world became tranquil.

"Huh? This is…" Anna looked around, finding everything stopped. Even Noel didn't make a single move.

Old Ru's expression turned grim. "So, do you want to talk about your reincarnation, little girl?"

"!!!"
