System vs Rebirth Chapter 206 Introductory Rune Book

Chapter 206 Introductory Rune Book

Noel had dinner with the Ezenholm Family. There was his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and their two children. Their first child was older than Noel by two years, while the second child was far younger than him.

There was no tension in the middle of dinner. The Ezenholm's was very welcoming. Even though the second child was a bit vigilant about Noel's appearance since he'd never seen Noel in his life, he didn't show any hostility during the dinner.

It might be a bit awkward for Noel, but he certainly didn't feel repulsive.

When returning to his room, he was accompanied by Elsa.

"Young Master. I've received the instruction from your grandfather that I have to teach you something. After some considerations, I'm thinking about teaching you how to curve your attack."

"Curve my attack?" Noel tilted his head in confusion.

"You should remember my power, right? I can shoot everything by using the Demon Crystals. I can also throw the stones next to me and shoot them forward. Depending on how I use it, I can really do whatever I want."

"I have guessed it, but you truly have hidden your ability." Noel glanced at Elsa.

"It wasn't my intention. I simply didn't have the chance to use it."

"Well, whatever." Noel thought for a moment. "I couldn't really stay in this place for so long."

"I know. That's why I'm just going to teach Young Master the simple parabolic movement. Your Spirit Ability… The giant sword that falls, that one is a very powerful Spirit Ability. If you can actually throw it forward, don't you think it'll be a better ability?"

"Huh?" Noel was surprised and imagined the Sword Fall that moved horizontally. If that kind of attack could be used that way, it would truly help him. And with the number of Sword Fall that would keep increasing the more he upgraded the skill, this ability would be perfect for the Sword Fall.

"I see. That's interesting." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "Are you sure you're going to teach me that?"

"Yes. If we're only thinking about the parabolic movement, it's the simplest one. After some practice, you should be able to do it… maybe within a few weeks."

"Well, that'll be useful for me. I guess I'm going to rely on you again."

"It's fine. Please leave everything to me."

Noel nodded and entered his room. Before closing the door, Noel said, "Thanks, Elsa."

"You're welcome." Elsa smiled while waving her hand. She almost forgot to bow her head and said, "Please have a good rest."

"Ehm, you too. Good night." Noel nodded and closed the door.

After listening to Elsa, he understood what he wanted to do next. Instead of sleeping, he went to his notebook, the introduction of the runes.

He checked his Honor Points and used 24 Honor Points to buy 12 Skill Points, which was the requirement to upgrade the Rune Mastery to the next level.

With this, he only had 10 Honor Points left, but the knowledge about the rune was almost complete.

He hurriedly wrote his knowledge about the runes into this notebook.

'The Greenwood Kingdom is the most advanced kingdom, right? If that's the case, they should be able to understand these runes, including the potential that they can bring to normal people. With this, anybody can change their fate since the rune itself allows an ordinary person to wield Spiritual Energy without the Spirit Awakening.

'And it seems that I've gained four more Runes to learn. Well, I can forget about them for the time being since I don't have enough Honor Points to upgrade them for now.

'Besides, if I level up my Rune Mastery to level 5, I should be able to unlock all kinds of runes. So, I don't need to use my Skill Points to upgrade them anymore. I just have to continue upgrading the Rune Mastery to understand more applications.

'This is a good idea. Although I'm pretty sure that this book will be studied further, I don't really mind if this family is the first to master it. If this family becomes greedy simply because of runes, which they know can improve even further by me, it means I can't trust this family anymore.

'That's why this is a big opportunity for me. I believe that the Ezenholm Family will popularize the book just fine and the Greenwood Kingdom will be thankful to me. Depending on their moves, my life will be in danger. But I'm going to use my second ident.i.ty soon… The only person who knows about it is the commander, Shale, and possibly, this third prince.

'I can narrow my targets easily. I think this is a good plan for the time being. I don't know what will happen when I explore the Sword Saint's tomb, but I'm going to use my time here to the best of my ability.'

Noel had steeled his resolve, wanting to discover the truth about his family's execution. That was why he wanted others to favor him as much as possible while maintaining enough distance so that they didn't try to possess him completely.

He continued writing as much as possible for the next few days, albeit he felt a bit sad that there was a page that he had ripped a few days ago.

Even so, the introductory book should be finished in a few days.

During the morning, Noel came to the garden to meet Elsa, who would teach him about the parabolic movement.

It seemed his grandfather wanted to watch his progress as well, probably trying to see Noel's talent. If Noel was truly talented like how he claimed to be, Noel should be able to learn the parabolic movement easily. That was why he decided to observe him from afar.

Noel and Elsa stood in front of each other as Elsa smiled, starting her explanation. "Alright. Today, I'm going to teach you about parabolic movement. This is a new technique popularized two decades ago, so I hope that Young Master can learn this ability."

"I'll do my best."
