Previously on The Vampire Cat System
[It only meant one thing, he had truly decided to switch up the level of the sparring match. While everyone was wondering where he was Bernard instead was panicking and at the same time sweating bullets, he could still feel Quzin was around but not where he was or how close or far he was from his position.
It was like there were multitudes of presences and scents all around him and all of them belonged to Quzin, stunning his senses.]
Bernard stood where he was in a complete fluster, the multitude of presences he was sensing made him confused, not even his perception was helping at this moment, however just then while he was wondering where Quzin was he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulders from behind, jerking him back to reality as he tried to back away.
However, the moment he did he felt something cold was placed close to his neck, instinctively he couldn't help but quivered, he gulped down the saliva in his throat as he gradually looked down before his throat was the wolverine claw however on closer inspection he noticed the sharp edges were turned away leaving nothing but the blunt side.
Bernard couldn't help but heave a sigh of relieve inwardly when he saw this, thankfully this wasn't a real fight otherwise he would have been dead already he thought to himself.
"Ding Ding Ding."
Quzin placed the claws away from his throat and looked at him, with an amiable smile on his expression like always before saying."Lad, seems like our time is up, unfortunately, it wasn't longer otherwise I would have loved for us to continue, although you are attacks are powerful they are too rough and sloppy, such attacks are easily predictable which would be costly in a real fight.
"However, your ability to predicts your opponents course of actions if I didn't know you were a first-year student, I would have mistaken you for a battle-hardened veteran who had grown quite rusty, which is impressive, especially for a first year as your self."
Quzin said as he looked at Bernard, his words were filled with a sense of admiration and passion like he was conversing with an old friend of his, at first he only thought Bernard was an interesting fellow when he saw his choice of weapon but now he could see his young self reflecting on Bernard.
Normally he wouldn't take his time talking to a student of the academy, even though he had come across those who were unique and had a special affinity with weapons, it was either they saw using of beast weapons as burdens or they overestimated themselves, and claimed to know it all.
They were usually arrogant and overconfident brats, who placed no one in their sights, they always wanted to show the teachers that symbiote abilities were better than beast weapons, some of those who had fairly strong symbiotes bloodlines had even gone ahead to not only challenge students who chose the weapon hall just to discourage and drive the students away, but they had also bullied them as well, this was one of the major reasons why weapon hall had lesser students than other halls in the academy.
After hearing what Quzin said although he still felt chills when he remembered he had just placed such horrifying claws on his neck a second ago, he was also feeling warm inwardly he was literally like the grandpa he never had, he could now tell that not only was Quzin different from other teachers of the academy who only cared about high ranking students.
But he was also extremely strong as well at least from their first fight, his strength even without using his symbiote abilities had been able to overwhelm him completely even though he had perception and other of his other attributes.
Quzin stared at Bernard for a moment, although the young lad had great battle perception which was very amazing considering the fact only veterans had been able to cultivate such a method, however, he wasn't utilizing it to the best of their ability, even though he had good agility at least to some extent, it wasn't good enough nor was it the requirement of a good fighter, he was only stacking his abilities on top each other at best and wasn't assimilating them.
"Thank you, Teacher. However, am not adept at martial arts so even though I really want to learn how to fight I don't know where to start." Bernard said with a bit of dejection, from what Quzin said his attacks were simply rough and sloppy which could course him dearly in a real live fight, however, he suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth to say what he had in his mind, but just as he was about to let his words out he saw Quzin looking at him, with an all-knowing look on his expression.
"Young lad, I know what's on your mind, you want me to teach you how to fight right?" Quzin said looking at him, with a face full of smiles.
Bernard gently nodded in acknowledgment, without denying it after all there was nothing to hide, since if he could learn how to fight properly then it would surely help him a lot, that way he would be able to use his abilities properly and even assimilate his skills to it as well.
Quzin then gently shook his head softly, before saying."Unfortunately, I am too old to look over a disciple otherwise I would gladly have accepted a great student like you.
However, that is not entirely the reason your weapon although unique is something I do not specialize in even though I have little knowledge, it isn't enough to teach another person, at best it is only rudiment. After going through the way you fight I realize you utilize speed before attack which seemed like an assassin but then is not, which is the opposite of my style of fighting."
