After hearing what she said Bernard could only be surprised, for her to pull out such a challenge, it seemed like she was really determined to get him on her team no matter what, he couldn't help but wonder why she was so determined to get him in her team, if not that he knew the number on his bracelet was still displaying one and the fact he hadn't done anything that would give himself out, he would simply have thought he had given himself out without even knowing.
However, on second thought was it that she found his perception ability to be really useful to her? or she was up to something, but then looking at her expression he could not tell what she was up to, meanwhile, Sophia's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, an unknown feeling she couldn't understand started to take over her as she heard what Sonia said, if Bernard lost doesn't that mean she wouldn't get to be with him since he would join another team? and if he won wouldn't Sonia join their team and become close to Bernard.
"What if he says no, what would you do?"Sophia suddenly said, and gradually walked to the side of Bernard with a cold and emotionless look on her expression.
Bernard look at Sonia and then Sophia, and fell into contemplation currently they were looking for one more person to fully complete the numbers in their team, and although he didn't know Sonia he could tell she wasn't a bad person at least from his vampire instinct and although he was willing to bet on it, he would still be cautious after all it was not like they had been friends before or even knew her before, to easily let her in their team.
"Wait a minute Sophia."Bernard said, making Sophia back down a bit with a slight frown no one could notice on her expression."Although I know you don't like her, but I think she would make a good addition as our last team member, besides maybe there would come a time when you would require her assistance in the future, as far I am concerned I am confident in being able to last all through her ten moves, so I will accept her challenge."
"Bernard, I understand you trying to complete our team by letting her join us but for once I agree with Sophia."Emelia suddenly interrupted."Even if she is strong I don't care, she can't just come and start insulting us by referring to us as weak. I get that she wants you to join her team, but her approach was totally rude. It's not like she would do anything to you if you refuse her challenge anyways."
Emelia said while glaring at Sonia, although she understood the reason why Bernard was willing to accept her challenge but then he hadn't even joined her team yet she was already acting smug, which wasn't going to happen but then what if he joined wouldn't she literally start thinking she was the boss of him, and finally what would she do when he won and she joined their team?
Even if she was strong that didn't mean she could do what she wanted, if Sonia was to come and start acting the way she wanted wouldn't she be the second Sophia?
She didn't want a second Sophia, one was already difficult to handle a second one would drive her insane instead, after hearing what they said Sonia couldn't help but fall into contemplation she couldn't help but think about the confident look he had on his expression when he accepted her challenge judging from the way he sounded he seemed like he could easily breeze through ten of her moves.
This made her thought back to how he was able to survive the rank 7 second year violent assault for a while without dying, not only that she had also seen how he had used a crystal ball to easily take out a rank 3.
If she was to use that as some form of measurement then his perception was likely as strong as a quasi-rank 4, but then she wasn't a normal rank 4, she couldn't help but look at his expression and then around the whole classroom, after looking around the classroom she realize just like she had thought earlier there was definitely no student with such powerful perception as his, although he wasn't a powerful symbiote user he definitely had a great talent for beast weapons.
"If you accept the challenge, then I wish for us to start the battle immediately, I would like to see if you would be as confident as you are when you lose."Sonia said."If you are ready, then how about we go to the weapon hall, prepare yourself. I will be waiting for you over there, don't run away Bernard."
After she left, Sophia and Emelia immediately turn their heads to look at Bernard with a half look of annoyance on their expressions, this time he could tell they were both angry however he had no clue why they were getting so worked up, it was not like he did anything, after all, it was for their sake that he even accepted the challenge in the first place, since it wouldn't be bad to have strong ally considering they would be going to a foreign planet.
Immediately after the four of them then headed to the weapon hall, it was the same place Sonia had seen Bernard who defeated Vic with just a mere beast weapon and without using his symbiote ability, as they got there the place was beginning to become crowded with students.
Although some of the students who came were not from the same class as them since that of Greg's class was the majority, the reason they came was quite simple they wanted to see how Bernard would lose or win if he even had any chance to, even though Bernard had been able to last for a while against the rank 7 second year most of the students didn't think much of it they were sure the second year was just going easy on him.
So no one thought much of it, they were only amazed that he had a great perception for battle and talent for a beast weapon, right now the room was filled all other classes who had been informed about the upcoming fight, between Sonia and Bernard, and had decided to find out what would happen, some were already making bets on who was going to win, and most of them had their credit points stake on Sonia, they have all seen her fight before so they were confident on what she could do.
