System vs Rebirth
chapter-518

Noel entered the academy with a calm expression. He saw a lot of students wearing uniforms. The uniform consisted of a white shirt and brown pants for the male and a knee-length brown skirt for the female. They also wore a robe that had numbers on them, implying something.

He didn't care much about them since he only wanted to go around the academy while finding a guide for the library.

Though, his appearance, especially his masquerade, piqued many people's interest as they wondered what kind of man was visiting this time.

Noel ignored their gazes while walking toward the administration office to get their permission to go around the academy.

"Hello, we would like to enter the academy and find a guide to visit the tower." Rose smiled, facing the young staff.

The young staff nodded politely as if they had been trained to be courteous to everyone since there might be a noble hiding their identity.

"Thank you for visiting El-Alanca Academy. I'll be processing your permission. May I know your name or any proof of your identity?"

At first, Noel didn't want to use their identity, but Rose told him that they could speed up the process with their identity, so Noel agreed with it.

Noel and Rose took out their badges while activating them, showing him the badges were real.

"Iadre, Demon Relief Squad's Zero Squad."

"Rose, Demon Relief Squad's Zero Squad."

"Zero Squad…" The staff seemed to be shaken a bit. Although they weren't nobility, they could easily marry into one of the noble households. So, their status was similar to that of a noble child. And if they waited a bit longer, they could gain the Vice Captain or Captain status, so Noel and Rose were a big shot in the staff's eyes.

He politely nodded and received their badges. "I will be processing it immediately. It won't take more than five minutes. Please wait here."

Before he left, he asked one question. "May I know what kind of guide you're looking for? As you already know, we have several sectors, so I can inform you of the building you need to visit for the specific field."

The staff might look calm, but his voice cracked a bit. Still, he opened the door and let them enter the waiting room. It wasn't extravagant, but it was enough to get a relaxing feeling.

"Hmm…" Rose glanced at Noel. She only accompanied him here, so she didn't know what kind of knowledge he wanted.

"I need two guides at separate times. The first topic is about the Spirit."

"Spirit? Is it battle-related Spirit? If that's the case, you might want to visit the Spirit Magician Sector."

"No, no. What I want is information about the Spirit itself. Their origin, their potential, and so on."

The staff thought for a moment. "In that case, you should visit the Spirit Research Academy. They are the ones who specialize in Spirit Research, from the origin to the applications.

"If you go to the administration office in that academy, the staff should be able to guide you to the specific class where you can find the people that will be interested in being your guide."

"I see." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "Then, the second topic is related to Spiritual Energy."

"If that's the case, my suggestion is to visit the academy that I previously mentioned, the Spirit Magician Academy."

"Alright. Thank you." Noel smiled and took a step back as the staff immediately processed his permission.

It didn't take three minutes before the staff returned with two papers and two badges. The paper stated a similar thing with only their name being the difference. Meanwhile, the badge was made of silver.

"You should be able to find a guide easily with this badge. We issue three badges: bronze, silver, and gold. Bronze is for a normal visitor, silver is for a distinguished guest, and gold is for a person with extraordinary status."

"Alright. Thank you for the help. Where should we go to reach those two buildings?"

"If you go through the hallway, you will find the gate leading to the inner area of the academy. There should be a few guides waiting for you there. As long as you state your purpose, they'll immediately help you."

Noel had learned everything he needed to know, so he nodded his head and started walking with Rose.

The corridor was next to the office, so they only needed to cross it. It seemed there were a lot of rooms above the corridors, which should be the outer part of the academy.

Unfortunately, Noel didn't have any intention of looking around too much since it would be just a waste of time.

He and Rose kept walking until they found the gate. As the staff said, there were a few staff who were standing by to guide the people who wanted to enter the academy.

One of them immediately walked to them as soon as he noticed their presence. He bowed to them and made a gentle smile.

"Hello, Sir and Miss. Welcome to El-Alanca Academy. My name is Sharlack. How can I help you?"

Noel took out his badge and said, "Yeah, can I trouble you to lead us to the Spirit Research Academy and Spirit Magician Academy? I'm looking for a guide to go to the tower."

"!!!" The guy was surprised by the silver badge. He immediately nodded his head and asked, "May I borrow your badge? I can bring you to the class and handle all the necessary tasks for you."

"Sure." Noel handed him his badge.

"This way please." Without hesitation, the guy hurriedly guided them.

This was when Rose and Noel felt the gap in their technology.

When they passed through the gate to the inner academy, they were shocked by the sight of new applications of Spiritual Energy, Demon Crystals, and Spirit.

"Ho…" Noel was amused as he couldn't help but smile as new knowledge actually interested him.
