System vs Rebirth

Chapter 265 Ardaganʼs Promise?

”…” Noel thought for a moment and asked, ”If I have to use a portion of my Spiritual Energy reserve to learn a new technique, doesnʼt that mean I have to be more careful about choosing my Spirit Abilities?”

”Not necessarily.” Heisk shook her head. The Spirits were helping their master to improve, so even though she scared him about the possibility, Heisk had prepared for the solution. ”Weʼre the ones taking care of your Spiritual Energy reserve. Thatʼs why you havenʼt received any Spirit Abilities for a while.”

”I see. But how can I know how much Spiritual Energy I do have and how much I have spent for the Spirit Abilities?”

”You can simply ask us. Weʼre the one taking care of your Spiritual Energy, so if you ask us, we can make the rough calculation for you. For now, your Spirit Ability have taken sixty percent of your Spiritual Energy Reserve and forty percent are used for your consumption.”

”For real? This whole time I have been using only forty percent of my Spiritual Energy?”

”Yes.” Heisk nodded.

”But still, I can kinda understand about the reason why I have taken a lot of my Spiritual Energy Reserve for my Spirit Abilities. I have five Sword Abilities, three Fire Abilities, four Ice Abilities and Five Rune Abilities. Are the Spirit Techniques included?”

”Yes.”

”It seems that my Everchanging Emotion Sword Style took a lot of it.”

”Yes. It took twenty five percent. The second biggest will be the Undying Fire. You have to be careful if you want to increase the level of the Spirit Ability as well.”

”I see.” Noel scratched the back of his head. ”This is going to be a problem. I have taken five types of abilities… Iʼm afraid that my Spiritual Energy Reserve wonʼt be enough to handle all that.”

”Donʼt worry, Master. Have you forgotten something?”

”What do you mean?” Noel tilted his head in confusion. He was worrying that he took too much energy by registering the skills. In the future, if he wasnʼt careful, he would be in a deep trouble for not being able to learn high level Spirit Ability simply because he didnʼt have enough Spiritual Energy Reserve.

However, Heisk simply said, ”Donʼt forget that you have two Spirits in your body. That alone can allow you to register more Spirit Abilities compared to a normal person.

”Then, you have that training that increase your Spiritual Energy… The higher your Spiritual Energy, the higher the increase.

”Last but not least, you have medal that can increase your Spiritual Energy. The stronger you are, the harder the mission you will get. And at that time, your medal will be a lot better than now.”

Listening to Heiskʼs explanation, Noel could finally understand that everything had been calculated. Ardagan was a Fire Sword Spirit, so he could use his natural absorption for the Sword Ability and the medal for the Fire Ability.

Then, he used the increase in training to supply enough energy for the Rune Ability.

On the other hand, Heisk took care of Ice Ability and Other Spirit Techniques. This way, Noelʼs body would be able to handle all those abilities within him.

The only thing he had to do was to get stronger and amass a greater amount of Spiritual Energy. In other words, he had to find more Demon Crystals.

Upon hearing it, Noel could see the concrete plan of the next few months before graduation.

”I see. It seems that Iʼve been relying on you two.” Noel nodded in understanding.

Heisk smiled and said, ”I have to rely on Master as well for evolving to a Humanoid Spirit. I think you have aware of this but Spirit lives almost forever. Iʼm afraid that Iʼm serving you for a few decades just to evolve myself and live a better life after that.”

”No. This is an equal transaction. You help me, I help you. Please continue supporting me and Iʼll do the same.” Noel lowered his head.

”Yes.” Heisk also lowered her head.

”Is that all?” Noel asked.

”Yes. I believe I have told you everything. What you are lacking right now is the Spiritual Energy. So, you have to gather a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy to become a Spirit Wielder.”

”Thatʼs what Iʼm planning to do. Since you have told me everything, I have to move right away. You sure know how to make me excited.” Noel pumped his fists. He understood the system that Ardagan had built more clearly this time. The only reason why he hadnʼt given him anything for a while was because he was lacking in Spiritual Energy.

In other words, if he wanted to constantly improve, he had to increase the amount of his Spiritual Energy.

After confirming everything, Noel waved his hand and said, ”Alright. Thank you, Heisk.”

”Yes, Master.” Heisk politely nodded while watching Noel leaving the consciousness.

As soon as he disappeared, Ardaganʼs voice echoed. ”He is a peculiar host, isnʼt he?”

”Ardagan. You were here this whole time? Why didnʼt you show up?” Heisk asked, turning around to find the sword floating next to her.

”I shouldnʼt be the one explaining all that because itʼll be seen as me burdening him with all that problem. And if heʼs grateful to me, itʼll cause a lot of problems because he might end up becoming dependent.”

”I donʼt know much about your resolve, but it seems that you have taken a great host after a thousand years.”

”Iʼm simply choosing a great host. You can say Iʼm picky. Thatʼs the reason why I havenʼt gotten any host for a thousand years. Iʼm going to raise him to a great man.”

”Even though, you canʼt evolve? Although your form is not a humanoid spirit, youʼre equal to one. So, I donʼt see the point of doing all this.”

”You donʼt understand my goal. Iʼm simply trying to fulfill the condition of my creator.”

”Your creator, eh?” Heisk closed her eyes and nodded. ”Well, Iʼll be doing my best to make him stronger.”
