While Bernard had just finished putting on the earring on his right ear, something strange happened, because in front of his eyes he could see a new notification message stating his stats had returned to normal, after he was done going through the message in front of him he couldn't help but become shocked. Bernard popped his system interface open and saw that all his stats had returned to normal.
However, he wasn't convinced and kept waiting maybe the system would start showing he was being affected but then after waiting for a minute he noticed he was not being affected.
Prompting him to take several steps backward and looked at the sun, as he did this the bright light sun that he always dreaded shone on his face yet nothing happened when he saw this a smile began to appear on his expression.
He couldn't help but feel the fine touch of the chain earring, although he didn't know who created it and how it got to the local marketplace but Bernard was very happy, with this he wouldn't have to be afraid of the sun, he felt relieved when he thought of how he wouldn't be weakened by the sun and could even walk freely under it like a normal person, even though he hadn't been able to use appraise to inspect the chain earring but judging from it affect, it appeared that it had the ability to stop sunlight from hitting him.
He was happy that he had come to the marketplace otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see such a miraculous item that could stop the sun from hitting him, not only that he could also no longer feel the excruciating heat from the sun he felt reinvigorated once again as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his body.
Suddenly a thought soon entered his mind, if the earring could block the sunlight from affecting him this meant the item wasn't ordinary but was particularly made to be so, it was even likely the person who made it was also a vampire itself.
It was needless to say the material was likely made from some foreign vampire material, by a vampire, however, does that mean there was a vampire staying within in the academy league city?
As he thought about this he couldn't help but look at the old lady and wonder if she was a vampire or related to one, it wouldn't be abnormal if she was even one herself Bernard thought, considering only a vampire would have such an item in their possession, but then if she was a vampire and the earring belonged to her since he could see she was obviously wearing a similar type why was she selling it?
Or was it because she didn't need it anymore? Or was it because she knew he was a vampire as well, however, he couldn't come to a conclusion because if she was one she could simply have given him a sign or was she trying to hide the fact she was a vampire and instead keep it as a secret so no one could know of her, but then he felt he could also be wrong as well and it might be unlikely and she could just be an ordinary old lady who had stumble upon the item in a faraway planet, which was likely left by a vampire.
There was some stuff that he would have loved to carry out since he suspected the woman to be a vampire but the fact she was filled with the smell of garlic made him thought otherwise and doubted if she wasn't affected or was simply pretending or she was just a normal symbiote user, but then the smell was too strong for him to get close to her, each time she opens her mouth his nose would immediately begin to burn and then he would have no choice but to close his nose and create some distance.
Bernard started to think maybe he could give the old lady a sign and if she responded then she was a vampire, perhaps if he could do that then he would be able to know if she was a vampire or not. However, the problem was he didn't know how to give out any sign without giving himself away and blowing his cover in the process of it.
Most likely the reason he was this cautious was that the old lady might even be a spy sent by the academy, what's more lately he had been feeling strange the reason they hadn't come to interrogate him again was that they didn't have a reason or evidence otherwise he was sure he would have already been held captive, with this thought in mind he realize he needed to think long and hard if not he would simply give his secret away.
Once Bernard had returned to reality Bernard tried to find out if she had more stuff like the earring or was related to a vampire, but then after a while, he realize besides the earring everything else were simply too ordinary and had no relation to vampires, not even with appraise could he find anything, it seemed like everything else were truly just normal items of clothing for girls and boys.
Although he was hoping to find something that would be related to a vampire, nevertheless he was still happy at least he found something that could help him and his sun situation, with this, he would no longer feel weak or need to fear entering the sun, it was also good considering the academy had been suspecting him of being a vampire at least now he wouldn't give them anything to suspect he was a vampire when he was under the sun.
To be honest, Bernard was very thankful that he managed to see her, the idea of waking up every day and knowing that you would become a vegetable when you enter the sun was dreading, at some point even one would feel frustrated when he saw others could perfectly move inside the sun but you, he also couldn't imagine himself in the situation of being weak while in the middle of a fight, he could already see pictures of himself taking a serious beating or even running for his life.
What's was worse would be taunting his opponent to come fight him in a place where there was coverage, just so the sun wouldn't affect him.
