System vs Rebirth

Chapter 59 Anger

”…” Shale had started pouring his Spiritual Energy into his feet, preparing to stop Noel if he wanted to kill Azgar. After all, the commander asked him to take care of this guy. Although he couldnʼt play too much favoritism, he could stop him from breaking the law that would result to his execution.

However, Noel was a person who managed to overcome his hatred. If it was the Noel a few weeks ago, he would kill Azgar right now.

But he managed to calm his heart enough to rationally think about the consequences. Hence, Noel redirected that anger to something else.

Without using his Spiritual Energy, Noel slammed his sword to Azgarʼs arms.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

”Aaaaahhhhh!” Azgar screamed while writhing in agony.

”Did you think I was going to buy your cheap provocation?” Noel shouted and struck Azgarʼs hands this time.

”Aaaahhhhh!”

”Did you think just because Iʼm a fallen noble, I wouldnʼt dare do anything against you?” Noel shouted and stabbed his hand until it bled.

”Aaaaahhhhh!” Azgar couldnʼt do anything as the pain was too much for him to handle.

”Did you think just because I didnʼt do anything when you bullied me means Iʼm powerless?” Noel roared and stomped on his feet.

”Aaaaahhhh. Stop!”

”If you think you can get away with everything just because my house has fallen, then youʼre wrong!” Noel struck Azgarʼs thighs. This way, he broke all the things that allowed Azgar to counter-attack.

”No, STOP!” Azgar kept shouting, but Noel kept hitting him.

”I had never oppressed my servants or even the civilians when I was a noble! And whatʼs with your prejudice?” Noel struck him again.

”Stop! I surrender!”

”Remember this! I canʼt kill you here, but remember this! If something happens to them, Iʼll break all your limbs every day!” Noel shouted while delivering another strike.

However, this time, Shale intervened by grabbing Noelʼs wrist to stop him.

Shale said with a cold tone. ”Stop it. More than this and youʼll break the rule.”

Noel gritted his teeth as he hadnʼt had enough. However, there was nothing he could do when Shale had intervened.

In the end, he dropped his sword as the sign and Shale released his hand.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapterʼs release on N0v3l-B1n.

Noel glared at Azgar while gnashing his teeth. After that, he looked at the rest of the people in the training ground.

There was panic, fear, or even worse terror reflected in their eyes. When they looked at Noelʼs red eyes due to the sand, they couldnʼt help but tremble.

Noelʼs current appearance and all the rage he released earlier truly put a deep fear in everyoneʼs heart.

Because he was stopped, Noel took a deep breath to calm his rage while saying, ”I donʼt think I can do meditation right now. If Sir Shale doesnʼt mind, Iʼd like to get some fresh air for a while. I promise to return to the training ground before the next training.”

”You can do meditation everywhere that can make you feel at ease. So, feel free.” Shale nodded while carrying Azgarʼs body. Although Evan could heal his injuries, the pain would still remain. If Noel was going to do all this every day, even Azgar would be traumatized by it to the point he didnʼt want his body to be healed anymore. This was simply a torture.

Still, before bringing Azgar away, Shale watched Noelʼs back until he left the training ground.

Anna raised her hand while saying with a serious expression. ”I am his pair, so I think I should observe him for a bit. We donʼt want him to break the rule after all.”

Shale nodded. After Anna left, Shale then carried Azgar who seemed to have passed out away.

Meanwhile, the others were also scared of Noel right now. They never expected that Noel could be that cruel if they pushed the limit.

And Anna was the one controlling him currently since Anna had done something worse than what Azgar did. If she wasnʼt careful, Anna would meet a fate much crueler than what they saw earlier.

Yet, such a person still planned to look after Noel. They simply couldnʼt understand about the relationship between them. She might be genuinely concerned of his well being, or she could rub salt into his wound. But only both of them knew what exactly happened.

In the end, the junior soldiers had some trouble in calming down their heart, thus making the morning session a bit useless. At least, most of them thought the same thing.

ʼNever antagonize Noel again.ʼ

On the other hand, Noel walked to the area where he usually met the kids. But this place was empty.

He then continued deeper to the slum where the kids usually lived, but still found no one.

Normally, he would think that the kids were going to another place to make some money. But no matter how hard he tried to look for them, he couldnʼt find a single clue of them until one hour later.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Noel saw a white cloth that seemed to have been ripped apart near where the plaza. This might just be a random cloth, but he remembered the button and flower pattern embroidered on it.

This piece of cloth was from the sleeve of Ericaʼs clothes. Erica was a smart girl, smarter than all the other children, so she must want to use this to inform him that they were attacked.

Noel bent his knees and picked up the piece of clothing as his expression darkened.

Anna stopped not far from him to see his state, but Noel seemed to know she was there all this time.

He even started talking. ”Eric is a bright child that can inspire others to continue to work hard. He refuses to accept his fate as a beggar kid and works hard to become a better person.

”Erica is a smart kid. She knows what they need to become better and lead the group. Bluhan might look like a coward, but when pushes come to shove, heʼll be the first one to step forward. Hella is…”

Noel kept saying all their good points, showing how good their relationship was.

Anna, on the other hand, shared the pain that Noel had in his heart. Even though Noel still wanted to kill her, Anna could feel a change in Noel.

To her surprise, Noel even turned around and said, ”Anna Stargaze. Letʼs make a deal.”
