While Benard was inside his room he couldn't stop thinking about yesterday's incident and the fight he had with that invisible second years, a lot ran through his mind as he sat on top of his bed, it was needless to say the whole incident had managed to leave a deep impression on him and had made him realized a lot of things, that he didn't see before about himself, yesterday he met an opponent he could never defeat at his current level even if he used all his trump card at best yet that was without the dude needing to activate his second symbiote transformation.
And that wasn't considering the fact he would not be able to deal any damage to the second year even if it was just his base form, due to the recent power-up and the fact he had been able to defeat any opponent he had faced so far, and managed to even steal several symbiote bloodlines, he had started to think he was very strong and could leave unscattered against any opponent making him slightly overconfident, but yesterday had shattered that belief because not only was he not able to even hit the invisible second year but he was also toyed with completely.
This made him realize even though he was hiding his true strength and had grown a lot stronger from the weakling he was before, there was still a long way for him to go to truly call himself strong because there were many strong opponents who were at the level of the invisible second year and even more, yet they were nowhere close to the apex of the predators of this world.
Yet this wasn't including those terrifying monster he had never heard of, because his current level was too low and the likes of the aboriginals whose power were earth-shattering and couldn't even be measured with normal logic of being powerful, it wasn't that he was trying to look down on himself but after getting the system he was simply overlooking many things, the incident made realization to finally dawn upon him.
Although it was good but it was also bad as well, considering the fact that even if he gained enough exp points to become level 10, he would still be nowhere near the top of the food chain.
However, instead of feeling down and demotivated this only made him want to grow stronger, although he was nowhere near the apex now he wasn't in a rush to get to the top immediately, because he still needed to build a stable foundation for himself and gradually climb up the ladder, even if there still some first years student that was stronger than him such as Sophi ash and Sonia, with time he would surpass them.
He realized if he wanted to get stronger and be on their level, compared to others who might be clueless on how to go about how to become stronger, he didn't need to stress himself, because all he needed to do was go about beating up different people, absorb as many symbiote bloodlines and blood as he could, however when he finally thought up to this very point he couldn't help but frown.
If it was before he would have been able to easily carry out the plan he had in mind, but now it would be a bit more difficult, it was needless to say after the death of Vic and the academy's sudden suspicious anf interrogation that he was a vampire, he had now entered the academy watch list and due to the fact they were now suspicious of him, if tried to do anything overboard he would likely be caught.
Although it seemed like nothing had changed ever since then, but he could feel the academy security had become even more tighter, and this wasn't a mere feeling it was from his vampire instinct, this was one thing that after he became a vampire had always helped and saved him, so it was never wrong.
Bernard realize this was a major problem, however, he wasn't worried simply because recently he had obtained a set of skills from Mr meow meow, and he still needed to get the hang of it, since the tension in the academy was high at the moment instead of doing something that would make him be caught, he would instead use this time to practice his skill set and improve himself while lying low.
After thinking about it for a while he realizes this was the best thing to do for now, unless he was willing to risk the academy making an example of him, he was sure they would want nothing more than to find a scapegoat to put the blame of the recent incident on and if he gave himself out he was sure they would gladly accept him.
After he thought about this, he realize he still as not found a suitable place to learn the skill set completely after all just watching the video wasn't enough to understand everything, and if he truly wanted to add the skill set as part of his skills like those in the interface, he needed experience.
After thinking for a while, Bernard finally stood up and made a little stretch without him noticing it he had been holing himself in his room for so long, but now he felt like going out and taking in some fresh air rather than just sitting down inside his room, as he opened the door to his room he realize the hallway was extremely lively and when he finally go to know why, he did a facepalm and shook his head for some reason he couldn't help but feel stupid, considering they were on weekend and he still thought they weren't yet allowed to come outside.
'I wonder if the guys know that we are on weeknd? maybe I should just check on them.'Bernard thought before he walked up to Sophia's room, as he was about to knock on her door he decided against it, it was not like he didn't want to but because he still felt she needed more rest, considering Jane said she should rest and because her injuries were the most severe.
As he thought about Ryan he hesitated as well, he felt the dude might be going through a phase, yesterday although he thought the Ryan he once knew was finally coming back, but throughout their entire conversation he couldn't look at any of them straight in the eyes making him notice something was wrong with him, finally, he made up his mind and didn't knock on his door, if it was just like he thought and he was going through a phase then it was best to live him alone for now.
However, just as he was about to head towards Emelia's room the door to her room suddenly sprang open, and then she walked out, with a look of surprise clearly on her face and she said."Huh? Bernard, were you looking for me?"
"Yeah, I was about to check on you and let you know we are currently on weeknd that we can finally come outside, "Bernard replied.
"Weeknd?"Emelia had a look of surprise, and then she looked at Bernard as she realize he wasn't joking she couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"Hey I was about to head out, since I don't want to disturb Sophia and Ryan, would you like to come with me?"Bernard asked.
