System vs Rebirth

After listening to Ardagan's explanation, he could finally see some secret from the system.

'I see. There is a Training Section where Ardagan helps me improve my body as well as the current state of our assimilation. All that energy comes from Ardagan, not my Reserve. In other words, it feels like we are fighting two people at once because of Ardagan.'

'As for the Medal, it's basically Ardagan's existence. Depending on the medal, Ardagan is matching his needs.'

'I don't know much about the Career. On the one hand, the skills listed on the Career are those from the previous owners or everyone that Ardagan has seen and copied. That's why there are a lot of abilities I can use. However, I don't know much about the Career Path.'

'At first, I chose the Swordsman Path and finally evolved to Rune Swordsman… I guess this is more like Ardagan allowing me to choose what kind of skill I want next. If I had chosen a Noble or Commander Path, I would have gotten skills related to that path.'

'And there is the Status Panel. I think there isn't much into it other than summing everything up about me.'

'Last but not least, the Shop Panel. This is the weirdest among them. Some items are related to the system itself. But the rest are something that magically appears…'

'Is there something I don't know about Ardagan? Maybe he has a Space Ability or something…' Noel thought for a moment before shaking his head. He couldn't really find out about it in his current state.

But this might be the only mystery Ardagan had left to him.

After some time, Noel asked Ardagan. 'There is something else… which is not related to system panels. It's about the missions. All your missions seem to be able to see through the future. Does that mean you have a clairvoyant ability?'

'Now that I think about it, you have provided me with Noble and Commander Path. As a Noble, you should have eyes that can see far ahead in the future. On the other hand, having a Space Element that can store a lot of things inside is extremely valuable as a commander since it can create many wonderful situations on the battlefield.'

'Did I have any record about my ancestor using all this ability? He was supposed to be a commander, right? If that was the case, shouldn't he be able to wield this space ability?'

Unfortunately, Ardagan didn't answer that question. Instead, he pushed Noel outside, returning him to reality.

On the one hand, Noel thought his guess was accurate. On the other hand, Ardagan wouldn't act like that if everything was true. It seemed that there were a few things he speculated wrong. And it wasn't the time for him to learn about it yet.

"Well…" Noel let out a long sigh. "At least, I understand Ardagan a bit more. It's true that I have been relying on him without learning about him… the only thing I have learned is how to take advantage of the loophole."

Noel planned to reflect on his action and form a better relationship with both Heisk and Ardagan from this point onward.

After some consideration, Noel chose four medals to be his main medal that would get revolved depending on the situation.

Those four medals were the Charm Medal, Demon Hunter Medal, the Newbie Medal, Rivalry Medal.

The Charm Medal was useful for understanding the opposite party's thoughts since everything was reflected in their affection for him. The Demon Hunter Medal was the medal he had been using a lot since it would prevent any demon from sneaking up on him.

The Newbie Medal offered a lot of utilities, while the Rivalry Medal was perfect for training.

These four were his main medals, while the others might be used in the future, but only in an extreme case.

It seemed that the upgrade took everything from Ardagan. Now that he had finished, Ardagan could finally give him a few more missions.

[Mission: Peerless (2)]

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

[Reward: Union of Sword, Spiritual Step, and Elite Medal.]

Noel was surprised by this mission because this was the continuation of the Peerless Mission that gave him the Newbie Medal. But at that time, Ardagan only wanted him to kill three Advanced Level Demons in a single battle.

It seemed that Ardagan knew that he still couldn't defeat the previous five Peak Level Demons in the expedition. That was why he wanted him to get stronger and defeat five of them in a single battle.

As for the reward, he didn't know anything about the Union of Sword or Spiritual Step. But he could imagine what they were used for.

What piqued his interest was the Elite Medal. Considering the previous mission gave him a Newbie Medal, this Elite Medal must mean that he had passed the newbie level and finally reached the next level.

'There might even be a continuation to this mission… Maybe I'll get a medal like Veteran or something along the lines…' Noel nodded in understanding.

He was already interested in this mission, but Ardagan generously gave him another two missions.

'This is becoming more interesting.' Noel couldn't help but think after reading the other two missions.

[Mission: Repaying One's Kindness.]

[Description: Anna has helped you a lot, it's time to repay her. A Rune Swordsman has always been clear with debt and gratitude. Help her finish her advancement mission in Creek Village six months from now.]

[Reward: Force Control.]

[Mission: Meeting the Representative from the Greenwood Kingdom.]

[Description: You have become the center of attention of the four kingdoms. The Greenwood Kingdom has sent their representative to observe you. Determine the best outcome that you want from them.]

[Reward: ???]

Noel couldn't help but smile, looking at these two missions. After all, he had come to another realization from these two missions.
