System vs Rebirth

"Uuuuu…"

Noel somehow regretted using that trap. He could only lie on the ground as he tried hard not to pass out.

Meanwhile, Anna could easily get back up.

"Ah!" She looked at Noel with a dumbfounded expression. Even though she was older than her current age, this was the first time she had this much intimate contact with an opposite gender.

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was her left cheek that made Noel like this because she could clearly feel it earlier. The embarrassment that surged in her heart made her depress.

"You…" Noel gritted his teeth.

"Uh, sorry. I mean it, but isn't that because of your trap? You share the blame too because if I didn't react, I would be dead."

Noel's plan was perfect. The only miscalculation he had was the fact that Anna would be able to react to that kind of fall.

"Ugh, let me bring you to the infirmary first." Anna grabbed Noel's weakened body and carried him to the infirmary. She carried him on her back so that he didn't see her face the whole time.

On the way to the infirmary, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

'What did I just do? Did I just bury my face in… in… in his crotch? If someone saw that fight, they would think I'm a horny sl*t. If my family heard this, I could somehow twist the story, but there would be many misunderstandings…

'Argh. What the hell…' Anna felt her body become warm as her face was flushed red. She was too embarrassed to even look at anyone. The only way to calm her down was to remind herself of her age. 'Don't be like that, Anna. You and Noel are still fifteen years old, your soul might be older, but you need to act like one.

'But wait… The marriage among nobles are around 12 years old. We've gotten all the necessary knowledge about it before then… Won't they think I… I've done it with him?'

Anna's imagination ran wild while Noel was enduring the pain. It was truly too much even for him. The pain was extremely different than the likes of cut wound or even bruises.

Fortunately, they reached the infirmary in just three minutes.

Anna immediately laid him down on a bed and asked Evan to treat her.

"Please, Mr. Evan."

"Well, I can do that much at least." Evan nodded with a calm expression and examined Noel, only to find no external injuries. "Hmm? Where's the injury again?"

Anna embarrassedly pointed at Noel's crotch before running away as she couldn't endure the shame.

'What has happened?' That was the first thought Evan had in his mind. 'Did they…'

Evan shook his head helplessly and said, "Oh, boy. Shale told me that you two made a pair and kept sparring against each other. It seemed that you two had another one without anyone watching you this time. Was that because you couldn't control your lust?"

"No, we were just sparring!" Noel gritted his teeth, denying all the accusations that led to their relationship being good.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to correct Evan, there was no way that Evan would think something else.

"Sparring eh… Then, tell me what did she use to hurt you? I won't heal you if you don't tell me."

"That's…" Noel hesitated for a moment before answering, "Her…cheek."

"Cheek? The head?" Evan raised his vision as his imagination started revolving. He muttered inwardly as soon as he got his answer. 'Ah, mouth service…'

He didn't know that Noel used a trap to make her slip and she somehow used that to tackle him. Of course, there was no way they would be able to come up with that conclusion. Even if Noel explained the entire thing, not many would believe it.

Ultimately, Evan nodded with a smile, praising him. "You're good, boy. To exact your revenge, you make the talented and proud noble Anna Stargaze fall in love with you. And a few years later, I wonder what Marquis Stargaze would see when his enemy actually made a child with his daughter. A good way to exact your revenge…"

"You're wrong…" Noel tried hard to explain, but the pain was still too much.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.. I'll keep this a secret." Evan nodded in understanding and started healing him, reducing the pain.

After that, Noel had a long talk with Evan, explaining every little detail that happened. Sadly, Evan didn't listen to him seriously, keeping the misunderstanding.

In the end, Noel returned to his room. His face was completely filled with despair. For Noel, there were many ways to avenge his parents, but this wasn't one of them.

"Anna Stargaze… I'm going to make you pay for this humiliation." Noel gritted his teeth.

Sadly, no matter how hard he cursed Anna, nothing would happen. In the end, he was too tired to even continue.

He also didn't do anything within the few hours where he could help some more people in the town.

He was thinking about how to pay her back for this embarrassment.

The next day.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Noel returned to the training ground. His head was filled with anger.

When he saw Anna, it was truly hard for him to control his outburst. At the same time, Anna could only look away as she was too embarrassed to even look at him.

Meanwhile, other trainees didn't bother with Noel anymore because they had seen his fight against Anna for an entire week. It was clear that Noel's improvement was tremendous.

Without Spiritual Energy, his swordsmanship alone could rank among the best. And with the Spiritual Energy that he learned by observing Anna, his combat power surpassed everyone.

What made his pair stand out was the fact that his partner was the current strongest person among the trainees, Anna Stargaze. It was clear that this was the strongest pair.

They had tried to persuade Anna and Shale to teach them about Spiritual Energy, but both of them refused because they needed to pass this test first.

And they somehow envied Noel who learned Spiritual Energy first. Yes, all the boys were jealous because they wanted to be paired with Anna as well.

Little did they know, Noel and Anna's relationship had become worse last night.
