System vs Rebirth

"Mhm. This is nice." Rose let out a satisfied moan, annoyed Stella who was massaging her.

That was right. Her order to Stella was to massage her.

Stella obviously got annoyed since they were the only women in the Zero Squad, considering they couldn't consider Clara as a part of the Zero Squad. So, they often challenged each other.

"Should I do a sensual massage for you?" Stella smirked while grabbing Rose's butt firmly.

"!!!" Rose glared at her. "You… Do your job correctly! I don't order for that!"

"Tsk." Stella clicked her tongue and looked away. However, her hands still massaged her.

However, she soon heard Rose's voice. "So, have you confirmed everything from this punishment game?"

"…" Stella's expression changed as she looked at Rose, who was closing her eyes to make herself more comfortable. She sighed. "So, you know about it?"

"They're pretty famous, you know. Anna Stargaze was the one asking for the Ardagan Family to be executed. Thanks to his father's previous achievement, Noel Ardagan was spared and exiled to the Demon Banner Army.

"The main purpose in sending him there should be to let him die from monsters. Yet, he manages to overcome all hardship and reaches this place as a talented knight.

"But the problem is Anna's presence. Why did she come to the Demon Banner Army in the first place? It was a mystery. In one glance, it looked like Anna wanted to kill Noel with her own hands. If that was the case, Anna wouldn't wait this long.

"With her abilities, it was a simple matter to kill him. Yet, she didn't… At the same time, Noel and Anna's talents were pretty similar.

"Although I couldn't understand it completely, I could see Anna is experienced despite her age. This is weird even for me. I can understand her being strong and knowledgeable due to her talent, but experiences comes from age. That's why I can't understand how her behavior doesn't match her age.

"Even if you mature early like Noel, it gives off a different feeling. And don't you think it's weird that someone can pinpoint our weaknesses that easily? As if she is a veteran who has fought thousands of battles.

"That was why I knew you were plotting something when you suggested that punishment game. You were trying to make Noel and Anna compete with each other to know which Order they would give to the other party.

"If Noel won, you would know he wanted to kill Anna if his order was excessive and vice versa. But this time… I'm not very sure if they're going to order something that bad. From the looks of it, they don't seem to have a hatred between them. Instead, they're like best friends who have gone through many life-and-death battles.

"So… what are you planning with this?" Rose finished her analysis with a sigh. She had completely deciphered Stella's intention. Rose added, "The fact that Anna is so experienced means there's a chance that she has felt your intention, Stella. Are you planning to fight the Marquis Family?"

Stella paused for a moment and said, "I guess only you who can read me like an open book."

"How many times do you think we have competed with each other?"

"Haha, that's true." Stella sighed. "Still, I don't like sitting around either. Noel is clearly talented, very talented. He might easily surpass Septa at this rate. You should know about Septa's talent, right?"

"Yeah. He started at 16 years old and climbed through the rank to become a Captain Class Individual at age 23. It was said that he could become the next commander." Rose nodded. "If I'm not wrong, Noel is 15 years old right now… and he is already a Spirit Wielder."

"Yes. Reaching Spirit Wielder at age 15, then Spirit Master at age 17, and Spirit Grandmaster at age 20. This is just my rough calculation without knowing the extent of his talent. He can even reach that step even faster and has the possibility of becoming a Captain Class Individual at age 21. Don't you think it's a waste to kill this individual?" Stella bit her lips.

"It's a waste if you think the benefit of having such a talented individual. But the royal family and the Stargaze Family have executed his parents and seized his family's assets. With that kind of grudge, don't you think he will become a threat to them? This is such a world… where if you have too much talent, you'll become a threat to others."

"That's why I want to understand their relationship." Stella nodded. This was her concern. She had to know whether Noel would die or not. Although she couldn't help him too much, Noel was still her idol's son. So, she wanted to help him as much as possible.

"I understand your concern, but he is not that weak. Anna might be more experienced, but Noel is more cunning. All you can do is to observe them for the time being… Ah, right. I think you have one way to help him. Why don't you ask him to train together with you? Just separate Noel and Anna."

"I have asked him about it, but he prefers to spar with her instead of me. Though, he will be with me for physical training."

"Hoh?" Rose narrowed her eyes, interested in this matter. "Sparring with her? Does that mean he wants to beat Anna to release his hatred?"

"I don't know. That's why I'll be watching them. They're still 15 years old anyway. No matter how hard they hide it, they'll leak out killing intent in one way or another. I won't miss it." Stella nodded.

"Is that so? Well, just don't bother them too much or that hostility will be directed at you. I  know that you're concerned about him, but I'm the type who will trust him. I think he wants to deal with his situation himself." Rose smiled, stood up, and stretched her body. "Hmm, my body feels very light. It's time to eat. Ben should have finished cooking."

"…" Stella looked at Rose who shamelessly walked away. She clicked her tongue and walked outside.
