Previously on The Vampire Cat System
[Making room for others, who had been itching to showcase their skills, however, this group of people obviously had a longer fight than Sonia, since no one was as swift or as strong as her.
As everyone was on the same boat, all the students were given the equal privilege to choose a beast weapon, no matter how strong a rank 4 symbiote user was or how weak a rank 2 symbiote user was in comparison, they weren't allowed to use their symbiote abilities, not even by mistake.]
This made things much easier, as they were put on equal grounds. Since they could not use their symbiote abilities, it all came down to ones personal skill, experience, and knowledge.
However, even with this most low-rank symbiotes had still been afraid a high-rank symbiote user would mistakenly use their powers if they were pissed, Quzin had easily resolved this by temporarily sealing their access to their symbiote beasts, this was done before every sparring match begins.
Soon the next match was that of Emelia, this caught some student attention, especially Quzin who narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though Emelia had been restrained since she couldn't use her symbiote summoning wolf warrior ability. However, she didn't look worried at all but confident.
The moment her sparring match began, she had made her opponent dreaded and felt completely helpless. Everyone watched as she began to recite incantations. At first, it was funny, including the way she said it.
However, everyone realized the more they listened the more they suddenly felt a cold chill at their backs, especially for lower ranked students.
Her opponent who had been, telling her to give up considering she was just a rank 2 while he was a rank 3, trying to uphold the pride of a higher rank student. Suddenly stopped in his tracks, he wasn't moving at all but just stood there in a daze completely flustered.
However, the strangest thing was his expression kept changing, sometimes it would show fear, sometimes it would show sadness, while the other times it would show anger. No one knew what was happening, most of them who had even begun to suspect she was making use of her symbiote power realize Quzin had not said anything yet, what more he wasn't even reacting to their commotions as if he hadn't seen anything.
However, seeing that the students were already making a fuss about it, he told them to wait for a little immediately after the match was over, he explained to them what she was using wasn't symbiote abilities but the ancient art of a particular extinct tribe in the beast race, even before symbiote abilities was known by the world.
Although he didn't go into details, he still told them she was literally using herself as a container and altar, to call upon the spirits of the extinct tribe which was the shaman tribe.
They were the only tribe from the beast race, who were experts at spirit incantations.
"Now, for the next match. Bernard Cat and Vic Timothy, please proceed to the arena."
The moment this was announced, Bernard became a little tense but soon calm down with just a single breath, at this moment he didn't need to worry about the sun affecting him, meaning all his stats were at their peak although he couldn't use his symbiote ability, he never planned to anyways even still his opponent was the weaker party.
Bernard had a smile on his face, it wasn't that he was taking advantage of his opponent's temporary weakened state, it was just that at the moment he was put in a situation where he didn't need to feel helpless against his opponent, instead, his opponent was going against a stronger party subconsciously to his knowledge.
Bernard took a deep breath before he decided to walk up to the stage, where he faced his opponent and realized his opponent was a rank 3 symbiote user. If not that he would be seen as insane, Bernard would have loved to tell Quzin to give him another stronger opponent at least rank 4 would be much better, considering he had inflated a rank 3 last night, however, he couldn't say this that would be shooting himself in the foot as well as blowing his cover and giving himself out.
With symbiote ability, he had the confidence to defeat a rank 3, even without using his symbiote abilities he was even more confident his chances of winning were already hitting 99%.
In the arena, where symbiote abilities weren't allowed, even to the point of being sealed, Bernard not only had a stronger body, but his health was also tanky, and even his speed was at the top.
His opponent who was Vic, stood before him he wielded a double ax in both hands, the blade of the ax were glaring with sharp lights, just from looking at it alone Bernard knew such weapon was extremely heavy and sharp, although it was sharp he still thought in terms of sharpness it would still be inferior to his dual daggers.

After Bernard saw this, his smile couldn't help but grow even wider. His days seemed like they were getting better and better, it was clear lady luck was confessing her love for him.
"Let the match begin!" Quzin said out loudly.
The moment he finished saying that, Vic immediately charged at him with his sturdy and big body, with both axes in his hands. Bernard merely stood in his position and took a fighting stance, while he held out his dual daggers from the handles making a curve with them.
At the moment Bernard was within Vic's striking range he suddenly raised both his axes from the back and swung them at both his left and right, cornering him in the middle literally giving Bernard zero opportunity to dodge either way.
