System vs Rebirth

This time, Noel, the diva, and the Arctic Queen were sitting on the same table.

The Arctic Queen was staring at him intensely with those golden and blue eyes. Noel was a bit surprised to find her eye colors were different from one another.

"I understand about the idea. In order to increase your control, getting more time to be more careful of your control will definitely be beneficial. And at this stage, I don't think we are lacking control.

"I personally don't have any problems if you need my circulation method if it can truly help you in removing the curse. However, I do have two things to say.

"First of all, I want to be allowed to witness the process for the diva. And the second thing is that I want to see the human civilization."

"!!!" Noel was shocked by the second condition. "The first condition is simple, but the second condition…"

"You don't have to think much about it. I know what it means for someone of my caliber to enter the human kingdoms… I only want to see what kind of civilization you have and the difference between us.

"I don't mind if you put a surveillance on me. Or if you need my help, as long as it won't affect this place, I can do it."

The first condition was simple. Noel could easily agree, but the second condition was the same as tipping the power balance completely.

The Muivell Kingdom had two Spirit Transcendence Experts not long ago. That balance changed after Noel and Anna reached that stage. They weren't aware of it yet, but they would definitely figure it out sooner or later.

If he added the Arctic Queen, it meant that his territory had three Spirit Transcendence Experts. Even if the royal family joined hands with the Demon Banner Army, they might still not be able to defeat him.

It would create a power imbalance, and the royal family might use it to claim him to plan a rebellion. At the same time, if people knew about her coming from the Beast Kingdom, it would definitely cause an even bigger problem.

However, Noel couldn't dismiss this tempting offer easily either. With the royal family colluding with the Supreme Devil Organization to create an expert that was strong enough to overpower other grandmasters, the Arctic Queen's help would definitely solve this trouble.

"The prophet would be busy from now on to help his grandson. And he won't probably go back with you. As a result, I can use it to hide all these parts."

That wasn't a problem was what Noel wanted to say. If she was only a grandmaster, he could easily accept this condition.

Even if the grandmasters couldn't sense her true power, those who were of the same rank would definitely sense it. No, even those who were close at that power, such as his grandfather or Duke Lorelei, might be able to realize her true power.

"I know that this is not an easy decision. But you might want to decide it soon since you have a limited amount of time to learn my circulation method."

When the Arctic Queen stood up, Noel waved his hand as if telling her that he had made a decision.

"I have three conditions though." Noel raised three fingers. "First of all, I want to make sure that you are only trying to learn the human civilization, correct? How do you plan to do it?"

"How do you suggest I learn it?"

"If I give you someone who can explain it, is it enough?"

"If you can add reading books and probably moving around…"

"I can give you a lot of books. But your movement will be severely restricted. You can probably move around to other cities, but you probably need to be a bodyguard so as to avoid raising suspicions. While I can give you a bit of freedom, if it's bringing trouble, I might have no choice but to hunt you down personally."

The Arctic Queen would definitely not like this threat, but surprisingly, she replied without hesitation, "Alright. What are the other conditions?"

"Do you think it's possible to fully master your circulation method within a month?"

"Ah." The Arctic Queen nodded. "Since I'm with you, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"And I also want to learn more about this kingdom."

"I don't mind." The Arctic Queen actually agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, the last condition is about your situation. You can't show that you are a transcendent unless it's necessary. At least, shows that you're only a grandmaster… ehm, I don't know if we're using the same measurement. Maybe show the strength similar to the kings in this country."

"I'm fine if I'm being treated as a normal citizen as long as I'm not humiliated or anything."

"In that case, to hide your real identity, we might need a spirit. While some humans can gain strength without awakening their spirits, they can't reach that far without one. As a result, most masters and all grandmasters have spirits in their bodies."

"I see. I understand. I'll also remove my curse. It will also help me since I can learn directly about spirits from you or anyone who is experienced with it."

"Alright. We've got a deal." Noel nodded with a solemn expression.

The Arctic Queen then turned to the diva. The diva nodded. "Alright. I'll take my leave." Her spiritual energy started carrying the water sphere that enveloped her body.

"Please follow me. There is a more suitable place for this training. It's going to be a bit far on the north."

Noel just agreed with her. After telling Anna that he would go to the north for training, she just nodded her head, saying that she also planned to train here with Old Ru.

The Arctic Queen actually brought him very far to the north. The temperature decreased drastically. It took more than twelve hours to reach this place, and surprisingly, it was still snowing in this area even though the spring had arrived.

This place was so cold that he thought this area was in the middle of winter.

"What is this place?" Noel asked, considering the Arctic Queen stopped after reaching this field buried with snow.

"This will be a perfect place for training. Are you ready for it?"

"Yeah." Noel nodded. "I won't complain no matter how hard it is since I only have a month to be here."

"In that case, we'll use the most extreme method." The Arctic Queen nodded in understanding. Suddenly, her gaze became sharp as she raised her voice. "Strip!"
