System vs Rebirth

The group entered the village that seemed to be in the middle of reconstruction. It seemed the village was badly damaged by the demons from the earlier attack and the Demon Relief Squad helped them in dealing with all their problems.

"Oh, Stella and the group. Are you going to help us today?" One of the villagers came to them with a smile on his face.

"Of course. We'll make sure your village can function like usual soon." She pumped her fists and assured the man with her energetic tone.

From the way Noel observed them, Stella seemed to be the pillar of emotional support for the people.

Meanwhile, Rose came over and said, "For the time being, we should help with the house over there."

"Oh, let's go then!" Paul nodded with an excited expression.

The group nodded while Stella said, "You two can watch how we work first to see if you can do the same thing or not."

"Understood. We'll learn many things from you." Noel agreed and stepped back. Meanwhile, Stella and the group walked to an empty space they had prepared for the house.

Rose was the first one to make her move. She gathered her Spiritual Energy and raised both hands. "This will be the house!"

All of a sudden, a house appeared out of thin air. The wooden house had a slant roof to the left. It was only one floor and the basic shape was a box, so it shouldn't be that much of a hassle.

Noel widened his eyes in amusement. "That's…"

"An illusion ability?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows, knowing that this ability came from a spirit that dealt with illusion.

Even Noel had expected this to happen, considering he had seen Elsa and Alanton from the Loetzel Family. Many spirits were similar to each other, but there were unique spirits like an illusion, money, and so on.

This ability showed him that there was more than one way to use an ability.

As soon as the illusion was erected, the group took a glance at it before Paul said, "Alright. That's enough. We've got the basic down."

"Zion!" Stella shouted one's name, who seemed to have disappeared without anyone noticing.

"!!!" Noel looked left and right, trying to find Zion. He suddenly reappeared with a few logs that seemed to have been freshly cut.

"Here you go." Zion threw the logs into the air.

Stella unsheathed her blade, smiling as if she wanted to show off in front of the son of her idol. She closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them and began cutting the logs skillfully.

In an instant, the logs turned into a long wooden block. In other people's eyes, Stella seemed to be wasting the log by not properly cutting it. But he seemed to be wrong when he saw the waste that fell to the ground.

"Wait…" Noel gasped. 'She actually cuts the wood in precision. It seems she has calculated the depth of her sword… That took skills.'

Stella winked her right eye playfully as if telling him she had a lot of effort into it.

However, the trunk didn't stop there. Since Zion threw it forward, the fallen wood would drop on top of her.

This was the time for the gloomy Jonathan to work. He lifted his hand and the wood miraculously floated in the air.

"Telekinesis." Anna sucked a cold breath. This ability was quite unique because there were many applications for it. But not many users could become a Spirit Master since the ability was too weak to be used against monsters.

Jonathan lifted the wood with his Telekinesis and moved it to Ben. Ben cut a bit of the wood just to fit a certain shape. It seemed he was making a hole in the wood to act as a connector to the other wood.

More and more logs were brought over by Zion, and Stella cut them. And after a few logs, Noel and Anna could see Paul began working.

He was wielding a small hammer. With his energetic vibe and muscular body, they thought he would smash that hammer and end up crushing the blocks, but they were wrong.

Despite how he looked, Paul covered the hammer with his Spiritual Energy and struck the hammer with only enough energy to perfectly finish his job. Each nail and each connection were dealt with a single hit, which reflected his control over his strength.

'Impressive. This is the first time I've seen so many applications to one's power with my own eyes.' Anna thought, amazed by their teamwork. 'Well, the bigger question is… will our ability fit this place? It's true that Noel has been helping people, but he does it with his speech and killing. He hasn't done anything to help with the construction or any miscellaneous task.

'The same applies to me. My Spirit is Thunder Berserker Spirit. It might be a humanoid spirit, but I haven't seen anything about the applications for the work in the Demon Relief Squad.

'What about Noel? He has an Ice Ability, which works for…' Anna tried to imagine how Noel could work together with them but to no avail. The only thing they could do was either cut the logs or bring them to this place like Stella and Zion.

This thought gave Anna a dilemma, which made her fall into deep thought.

On the other hand, Noel approached this matter with more positivity.

"This is amazing!" said Noel while staring at the house. They only worked for fifteen minutes, and the house was already twenty percent done. This way, they could finish a house within an hour or so.

"Hehe, is it?" Stella smiled, satisfied with Noel's reaction. "What do you think about it?"

"It's so wonderful to see many applications to one's ability. I feel like I can see a lot of things… Ehm, but can I observe more? Maybe I can get a more concrete explanation…"

"Sure, just observe our works for this house and we'll listen to you after this." Stella nodded. "It won't take too long anyway."
