System vs Rebirth Chapter 515 Affection Medal

Chapter 515 Affection Medal

"This is…"

Name: Oscar Mainwort

Affection: Neutral (54/100)

Description: Someone who has a degree of trust in you, but it can change easily as long as he gets something concrete enough to destroy your reputation.

Noel widened his eyes for two reasons. The first one was the Affection Medal, while the second one was because of the commander's gaze.

"!!!" The commander actually stopped in his tracks and turned around as if he was sensing the gaze that was more than a simple look.

Their gazes intertwined for a second before Noel hurriedly bowed to him as if he was properly seeing him off.

'How?' Noel was asking himself. He didn't know why the commander turned around and how he noticed it.

Luckily, the commander didn't bother to look into it as he simply walked away. But Noel noticed a change in the Affection Medal.

Name: Oscar Mainwort

Affection: Neutral (50/100)

Description: Someone who has a degree of trust in you, but it can change easily as long as he gets something concrete enough to destroy your reputation.

The commander might be suspicious of him with that last gaze, so the affection went down.

But this affection medal scared him in one way or another.

He glanced at Rose in shock, asking, "Did you notice something earlier?"

"Why did you release your Spiritual Energy?" Rose's answer came in the form of another question.

At the same time, Noel forgot that he still put on his Affection Medal and couldn't help but peek at Rose.

Name: Rose

Affection: Supportive (89/100)

Description: She will support your decision and believe in your judgment.

"…" Noel immediately closed his eyes. Although he was still shaken, he didn't forget Rose was still there this time. He pinched the bridge of his nose as if he was trying to buy some time and make Rose think he was confused.

The Affection Medal was far scarier than he originally expected.

There were four important details that Noel managed to figure out in an instant. The first would be the name.

He could see that Rose didn't have a family name, while the commander had one. Although he wasn't a n.o.ble, the commander was strong enough to get a family name bestowed upon him. So, it wasn't that weird to have one.

But Noel's focus wasn't there. Noel was far scared by the fact that he got to know someone's true name without asking for it.

On the one hand, he could see whether someone was lying about their name or not. They might be royalty or a n.o.ble that was hiding their ident.i.ty or an a.s.sa.s.sin that might a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

Still, it didn't change the fact that he could see their name. At that time, his trust would be greatly shaken and he might end up calling them by their true name out of reflex. So, that kind of slip-up would cost him a lot. There was a benefit of knowing the true name, but it also had its own weakness. So, Noel had to be extremely careful, especially when he was angry, drunk, or emotionally unstable.

Then the second detail was their affection. He didn't know how many kinds of affection one could have. He didn't believe that Rose's Supportive Affection would be similar to his future wife with the same value of affection.

In other words, the number beside the affection was to measure how big their affection was, not a grade to divide how affectionate they were.

Although he had prepared to use this, it was still scary to know that his wife in the future actually wanted to murder him.

What if his loving parents, who had been shielding and supporting him from behind actually hated him and wanted him to die brutally? He would be crushed by the extreme pain coming from that revelation.

So, this Affection Medal was dangerous in one way or another.

Of course, he couldn't deny the fact that it was useful to know who was his enemy and who was not. But if he relied on this too much, he would lose his own affection because what he trusted was the number the Affection Medal provided, not what he had seen himself.

Noel was shaken by the fact that his entire self would change because of this Affection Medal. He wanted to seal this medal forever, but he didn't have the heart to do it because of the benefits.

The third detail was the description. On the one hand, the description was good since he could understand the degree of that number. It literally explained the number. On the other hand, there was a possibility that the description was messed up.

What if someone actually told him she loved him, but it was to the point she would kill every woman that came near him whether they loved him or not?

This kind of unexpected description might give a scar on his heart. After all, depending on the description, he might have to kill that person.

So, Noel didn't know if he would go insane or not when he used this medal. If people knew about it, they could simply say to just check their number and act based on it without getting affected emotionally, but they had never experienced something like this. The emotion was far more unstable than they thought. This was what he had learned after experiencing a lot of things in the past one and a half years.

Noel took a deep breath as he had come to the last detail. Rose mentioned it earlier and it was probably the reason why the commander felt suspicious to the point his point went down.

That fluctuation of Spiritual Energy could mean a lot of things. At the same time, there was something that he got from this information.

He had been changing his medal depending on the occasion. If he wanted to train, he used the Newbie Medal, which would increase his learning speed. If he wanted to fight, he would use the Peerless Medal or the Demon Hunter Medal according to his need.

And the fact that the commander noticed him meant changing the medal would make his Spiritual Energy fluctuate, causing him to be unable to use it carelessly anymore.
