System vs Rebirth

Now that his Spiritual Energy had reserved, he could take on more skills.

Unfortunately, he had to stop since Anna had called him for dinner. Since it would be awkward and dangerous if Anna went alone, Noel stopped for a moment to accompany her. It was just a simple meal and Noel immediately went back to his room to continue.

On the other hand, Anna certainly felt the gazes of the people around them. She was still one of the most beautiful women in the kingdom, so their gaze was more intense than any other villages she had visited so far.

This was Noel\'s warning, so she finished everything in an instant. Noel even went all the way to use his ability to purify the drink just in case.

Ultimately, Anna was fine and Noel could finally finish what he was working for.

Before midnight, Noel opened his system to check his progress.

"Mhm. The progress is quite good. I don\'t seem to feel any difference when becoming a Spirit Wielder. Is there a reason why this stage is special?"

Noel muttered because he wanted to know what he could get by becoming stronger. He also noticed that people often stayed in a certain ranks too, not because their lack of talent, but because they chose to do so, like the butler of the Ezenholm Family.

"I should ask Anna later." Noel shook his head and continued inspecting the new missions he had just received.

[Mission: First Step]

[Description: The first step to become a Spirit Wielder is facing Advanced Level Demons. Kill one hundred Advanced Level Demons.]

[Reward: Ice Burst]

[Mission: Killing the pests.]

[Description: Kill fifty Devil Worshipers.]

[Reward: 30 SP and Devil Hunter Medal.

[Mission: Peerless]

[Description: To prove your might, one has to fight a few enemies of the same level. Defeat three Advanced Level Demons by yourself in a single battle.]

[Reward: Flame Conjuring Ability and Newbie Medal.]

"I got these three missions after absorbing the Demon Crystals." Noel fell silent. "I can understand about the first mission, but I can only do it after graduation, so I\'ll wait.

"As for the second mission, well, they\'re like pests to me, so the description is perfect. I\'ll try to kill Devil Worshipers, but I don\'t know if it\'s that easy to find them or not.

"As for the last one… I don\'t know how much stronger I have become by becoming a Spirit Wielder, but if there\'s no big difference other than my Spiritual Energy output, I don\'t think I can fight against three Advanced Level Demons by myself.

"For now, I don\'t see any penalty, meaning these missions are registered for my personal growth. This is good because I can increase my strength in a short time.

"Well, those are the changes, I guess. I want to upgrade my other medals as well, but I guess it can wait." Noel fell silent for a moment. "That\'s right. I should start working on my runes, considering I have gained all the knowledge about the runes.

"If I increase the level of my Rune Mastery, it should be giving me the knowledge about the application…

"This is hard. I haven\'t had too many chances in gathering Honor Points and Skill Points lately. I guess I should focus on this instead of anything else…"

Noel scratched the back of his head, thinking about the best option. After all, he didn\'t have much time before he and Anna had to go on their ways to complete their objective.

So, Noel had to finish his job as soon as possible.

Noel took a deep breath and used his Honor Points to exchange for Skill Points before learning the Ice Infusion Skill from Heisk. He hadn\'t allocated this one because he didn\'t have enough Honor Points previously.

But they had been helping people and killing demons in the past few weeks, so he got some additional points.

Now that he had enough points, he used seven Skill Points to learn the Ice Infusion Skill.

The knowledge of Ice Infusion Skill entered his mind as Noel understood how to use it.

Ice Infusion Skill was a support Ice Ability that allowed him to infuse his ice into his blade, allowing him to leave a frozen mark on the target to numb their body. This was a good ability since people would be weakened upon touching his blade.

"I still have 18 Honor Points which is equal to 9 Skill Points. Should I spend all of them in a skill?" Noel pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "By the way, Ardagan… You haven\'t updated the shop in a while. I can understand that you don\'t add too much training since what has been listed there is to enhance my foundation.

"But a shop is different, right? I can buy something from your shop, so I wonder what I can buy next."

Soon, the system notification appeared before his eyes.

[You have to feed me with something.]

"…" Noel felt a bit weird since this was the first time Ardagan asked him something. Although he didn\'t know the purpose, it seemed that Ardagan was acting in a way that benefited him, so Noel decided to agree. "Alright. I\'ll do my best. Update the shop after that, will you?"
