Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 313: Reincarnation Cycle

Ender looked towards Ning in shock, but Ning acted like it was nothing.

Eleonora sneakily looked towards Ning too but didnʼt bring any attention towards him. She now understood why he had decided to lie about his name.

”I hear he is very strong. He should be a gold starred teacher in your academy, right sister Ely ?” Bradley asked.

”Uh… his and my department are different, so Iʼve never come across him before,” Eleonora said.

Ender was surprised why his sister was even lying. She was not the type to go along with another personʼs lie. She hated liars the most after all.

”Can you tell me more about what happened, father,” she asked.

”Oh right, more news has come out than we expected. Apparently, the Gassain family werenʼt traitors or rebels by themselves. They were instead forced to be so because of the crown prince.”

”He killed their heir and then perpetrated the whole thing to bring their downfall,” Ember said.

Ning was surprised. ʼSo easily the information gets twisted so become something else,ʼ he thought.

Badel had indeed planned it all to bring the downfall of the Gassain family, but it was never his intention to make them a traitor and rebels. That was something that happened because of his impulsive decision.

Ning decided to not speak on it, however. He could change the facts here, but there were thousands of people out there that knew the wrong info already, and he couldnʼt change it all.

Ember and Bradley spoke some more on what happened while Eleonora spoke a bit in between while looking towards Ning in shock from time to time.

Ender however couldnʼt keep his eyes off of Ning while he heard what his seniors said.

Eleonora looked outside and said, ”Oh, itʼs dark already. We should go into our quarters now. Itʼs been a long day today.”

She stood up. ”Ender, come show brother Bradley to the guest room. I will show teacher N— Jackie the other guest room,” Eleonora said.

”Oh, Ender can show silver his room,” Bradley said.

”Ender is shy around teachers. He wonʼt do a good host around him. He will do better around you brother Bradley, Good night,” Eleonora said and left.

Ning nodded towards the rest of the people and left as well.

Eleonora walked off to a different section of the manor and entered a room. ”Come, this is where you should stay today,” she said.

Ning walked inside and nodded. ”Not bad,” he said.

”Oh, youʼve seen better?” she asked.

”The Royal Palace hotel in the Golden Moon city was better,” Ning said.

”Oh, right. You stayed there. I forgot,” she said. ”Was it all true? What they said?”

”Some of it was exaggerated, but the main crux of the matter was true,” Ning said.

”Wow, you saved the country from two different threats. Iʼm surprised the Emperor didnʼt gift you another Medal of Honor,” Eleonora said.

”I donʼt think the Emperorʼs mind was there at all. After all, he had just been crippled by his own son,” Ning said.

Eleonora gasped. ”The Emperor is crippled? Why did that information not get out?” she asked in shock.

”I donʼt know. Maybe they told the people not to,” Ning said. ”Anyway, letʼs focus on something more important.”

”Wait,” Eleonora said and brought out a rather large, oval-shaped artifact from her storage bag.

She dropped it onto the ground and suddenly it opened up to reveal 5 20 centimeters rods inside that flew out around them.

Then, the carving on the bottom of the plate where the rods previously stood started shining.

Suddenly, a blue film of light appeared around them touching the 5 flying rods, making a perimeter around them.

”Okay done. Say what you were about to say,” she said.

”No, we need to talk about this first. What the hell is this?” he asked.

”Oh, this? This is my own little contraption. Its… a formation setter,” she said.

”A… formation setter? Can you explain a little more?” he asked as he looked around at the flying rods.

”You know how formations work right? You carve the pattern on the rods and the rods have to be placed in a proper place for the formation to work, and if you mess up even a little, it doesnʼt work at all.”

”When you are in a fight or a hurry, you canʼt set a formation in time, or even if you do, the chances of it failing to work is very high.”

”So, I created this little artifact, that sets a formation on its own. At 6th or lower grade formation, the chance of the formation being set is 100%. The chance lowers a bit for 7th and 8th, and drops drastically for 9th.”

”I couldnʼt find a 10th-grade formation, so I couldnʼt check the accuracy there,” she said.

”How does this work?” Ning asked. He was truly fascinated by the weird little artifact.

”It will take some time to explain, and I donʼt know if you have any understanding about Artifacts to know what I say,” Eleonora said.

”Oh, I can just buy some right now— Although, you are right. Letʼs focus on the important things first,” Ning said with an awkward smile.

”We were born during the same generation back on earth, right?” Eleonora asked.

”From what information you have provided, absolutely. But… I came to this planet way before you. I think I was roaming the Southern Continent when you were born,” he said.

”Which doesnʼt make sense given that we died around the same time, so we should be born at the same time,” she said.

”Unless… you didnʼt get born right after you died. Maybe your reincarnation took some time,” he said. ”I know mine was immediate because thatʼs what my system told me.”

”Then… what? Does time move differently for the two of us?” Eleonora asked.

”No, but I do have a theory. I think… when you died, your soul went into the reincarnation cycle… and it stayed there for years,” Ning said.

”By the time it was time for you to be born again, over 2 centuries had passed.”
