System vs Rebirth

Anna sucked a cold breath. This was the first time she got a coded message from her father. It was hard to decipher it, but she was thankful to both Noel and her father.

After all, Noel had been teaching her a lot through experiences while her father actually supported her.

This also showed that her father had trusted her enough to handle this conspiracy.

'And with this coded message, I finally know what my father's stance is. It seems that my father and Noel's father are truly best friends. Even in this situation, they're still working together.

'But because of the circumstances, none of them can make their move right now. Noel's father is hoping for Noel to be able to decipher the situation and move toward the goal.

'Meanwhile, my father has never given me any trust because of my actions in the past. I was too immature and would continue to live in that bubble for the rest of my life if I didn't get a second chance through rebirth.

'And with this letter, my father has shown me that I'm trustworthy to be his hand that stretches all over the kingdom. He finally allows me to participate in this grand scheme.'

Anna couldn't help but smile. She never got involved with her father's plan because she was brainwashed by her teacher.

If she had gone through this in her past life, she might be able to get along with Noel. In fact, the reason why Noel never killed her was probably that she was just a pawn in the grand scheme. And he was trying to change her to convert her.

When that happened, the royal family and the Supreme Devil Organization would be panicking because they lost one of their greatest pawns.

'I'm happy that my father has involved me now, but the situation doesn't change. It seems Noel won't be available for the time being. But the fact that he's leaving for more than three months, it means he won't be there to discuss the update of the situation with me.

'Does it mean we'll ignore the next meeting and focus on the one six months away? Or does he want me to go to him during his vacation…'

Anna was confused about Noel's intention. On the one hand, she had already got the information, so it was possible to track him. On the other hand, the one who gave this information was her father.

If it was only her strength alone, she doubted she could get this information, meaning she wouldn't know where Noel was going this time around.

'If I know Noel correctly, he should be using this trip to get stronger. In other words, the aim of this trip is to reach the Spirit Master Level.

'It seems I shouldn't go to him right now so that I can reach the Spirit Master Level as well. Wait a minute, I still remember that I have to tell him about the firebird demon that can strengthen his fire… I'm sure he's going there right now since his strength is enough to fight against a Spirit Master.

'I see.' Anna nodded her head a few times. She was enjoying the time she took to connect all the dots to figure out Noel's plan.

Anna had to consider her mission as well.

'Spirit Master, huh. The Third Prince will make contact with him and give him a new mission. What happened when Noel reached the Spirit Master Level in my past life…'

Anna recounted all the memories from her past life.

'There are simply too many things that have changed from the past life. In the past, Noel would have to subjugate Kirika, who had caused the deaths of one thousand knights.

'Wait a minute. That amount of demons… I'm afraid that the demons were related to the Count. In this life, the Supreme Devil Organization couldn't get the Count to set up the farm and Kirika to lead them.

'In other words, this shouldn't happen in this life. I'm just afraid that the Supreme Devil Organization is trying to do something to them…'

"!!!" Anna dropped her jaw when she realized something was wrong with the situation. 'Wait a minute. He shouldn't have left yet in the past life. If I'm not wrong, the normal schedule is still a few months away.

'If that's the case, what compels him to take this decision? There's no way the Demon Relief Group would have realized all this conspiracy, so this must be Noel's plan.

'So…' Anna paused for a moment and immediately grabbed the report about the previous event.

'The Demon Hunting Squad was attacked by a huge number of demons. Then, there was the Demon Nest, the Supreme Devil Organization's spy, and Noel going to the Demon Hunting Squad's base…'

Anna was connecting all the dots before finally figuring out the situation.

'Wait a minute. The Supreme Devil Organization was the one who forced him to make this decision. If that's the case, he should have recognized that the Demon Relief Squad wasn't strong enough to take them on, so they had to go into hiding for the time being.

'In other words, this trip…' Anna's expression became serious. She had noticed the change in the Supreme Devil Organization.

The Demon Relief Squad, specifically Noel, had been in their way multiple times. They had lost a lot of people, including the Blood Berserker and another bishop that Anna wasn't aware of.

So, it wouldn't be strange for the Supreme Devil Organization to focus on wiping out the Demon Relief Squad first.

In the past life, the original and strong Demon Relief Squad were no more, so they didn't need to focus on them because Noel didn't trust that team completely.

Everything made sense in Anna's thoughts. In other words, further meeting with Noel would be dangerous because the Supreme Devil Organization and the Third Prince would be watching Noel.

She had to prepare herself too, since her power was needed for what was going to come.

'It seems that I have to change my focus as well…'
