Bernard couldn't help but look around him, it must have been his imagination he thought. Although he was sure someone had been standing and talking beside him, but then the person seemed to have left very quickly, Bernard really wasn't sure if he was imagining things or not, but he was hoping to get to know her name, in the end, he didn't want to think too much about it and decided to let fate decide. If she was a real person then he would definitely meet her again.
Finally, he couldn't help but think about how his body reacted when he entered the sun, amidst his thoughts he suddenly recalled during when that stranger girl had been talking to him, what really brought his attention to her wasn't her voice but something else, the thing was none other than the big hat she was wearing on her head, although he wasn't really sure but when she had faced him and the shadow which was coming off from the hat covered his line of sight, his teary eyes had stopped bringing out waters for a moment.
As he thought about the hat, Bernard couldn't help but wonder if he should buy one, although the hat was heavy and thick that he even thought it would be heavy for her to move her head, however, it was the opposite for him considering even if his stats were halved when he entered the sun, he would still be able to move his head freely especially if he could somehow manage to stop the sun from affecting him.
After the time he had entered the sun, Bernard decided to enter the sun again, this time he wanted to test how long he could last under the sun, although he had been able to last for over five minutes under the sun he wasn't satisfied, and wanted to test his limit, considering he had seen in the movies how vampire's get burnt while staying under the sun, he didn't know if his situation would be the same or not, but he was willing to give it try however if he noticed anything amiss he would quickly leave the sun no matter what.
Bernard took in a deep, considering what he was about to do was likely dangerous. Once he stepped out of where he was standing, welcomed by the outside bright sun, what he had been expecting happened, as several notifications appeared before his blurry line of sight.
[Your body is being hit by direct sunlight]
[Sun penalty had been triggered]
[You will now be affected by sunlight]
[All stats and attributes will be halved while you are exposed to direct sunlight]
As he saw this, Bernard knew the fact he was under the sun was already taking effect, all of a sudden he began to feel extremely sluggish it was just like before, he felt like he had just finished running a marathon to be precise a criminal on the loose, what's more, the feeling wasn't reducing but was getting even worse the more he stood under the sun.
Although he didn't know how long he had been standing under the sun but his head was beginning to gradually have ringing headaches, next was his arms and then his legs began to feel heavier, by the second it was like the weight was being remotely increase.
Bernard, tried to open his eyes however the moment he did, his eyes felt like it was weighing a ton, he could only make his eyelids tremble but not fully open them, not even his mouth could be moved it was like the control he had over his body, was being removed and the only thing he could do was stand in his position like a gargoyle, however, if he was to be honest, his skin wasn't getting burnt rather there was only a slightly itchy sensation that he felt from time to time.
Meanwhile, the students who were passing by couldn't help but give Bernard strange stares, they couldn't understand what he was doing, while some thought it was some sory of punishment from a senior and felt it was funny, some felt a bit sad because they could see he was sweating from top to bottom like someone who had just come out from a shower, not only that his body was gradually beginning to smoke out.
"Are you okay?" A rank one student couldn't help but ask, after looking at Bernard's bracelet, he felt a bit angry that the second years were going too far, but there was nothing he could do about it except show the little concern he could, and maybe buy for him something to eat, considering he had been standing under the sun for over two hours now.
However, Bernard was not listening, nor did he have any plans to answer the rank 1 student. He was merely too busy getting roasted by the sun above him, to care about his surroundings, however, the boy didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, seeing how much Benard was suffering made him feel frustrated and angry at the same time.
"Hey man, do you need help?"The boy stared at him and thought maybe he wasn't listening to him and wanted to shout out, however, he felt he might startle him so went closer to Bernard and wanted to ask him if he wanted something to eat.
However, just as he got close to Bernard, his eyes suddenly fluttered open and when he looked at his bloodshot eyes, he realized they were completely red like blood, when the student saw this he almost screamed but then Bernard simply closed his eyes once more and continued without saying anything.
The rank one student who had been startled, couldn't help but gulped down the saliva that were in his mouth, for a moment he felt an indescribable amount of fear, akin to a horror movie, as he looked at Bernard again this time he didn't know if he should call him or leave him alone.
