Aside from Bernard, the rest had finished eating their food, after that it was time for them to finally attend the morning class. Even as they walked Bernard to the surprise of everyone else he stayed at the back, his stomach was hurting like hell and he found it so hard to properly see where he was going without suddenly stopping or staggering like a zombie.
Finally, the class officially began, and the lecturer having them for that lesson wasn't Greg but someone else whose name was Tomson, he was a snake-man symbiote user one of those who had their genes genetically modified to the point they had lost some of their human sides and evolved into half beast half human specie, in place of his legs were now a long snake tail he wore the academy standard outfit that was in form of a long robe.
During the lesson Bernard felt extremely pissed and felt like having a bite of the lecturer out of frustration, he was unable to concentrate on anything even what he could make sense of coming out from the lecturer's mouth sounded like a snake hisses.
All he could do was try to endure and calm himself during the class while praying not to make any mistake, in order to avoid drawing attention to himself, he tried various means such as closing his eyes, taking in soft inhales, and exhaling or resting his head.
However, all of this only served for him to see his Hp gradually drop without being able to do anything.
Looking at his Hp continuously drop was driving him insane akin to a torture, while he felt extremely helpless, he wished he had bitten Dave earlier even at the cost of being exposed and losing his symbiote bloodline at the same time.
This was the first time he had regretted not doing something so much in his life. After the class was over, Ryan quickly rushed off to the boys' toilet leaving behind the girls and Bernard.
When it was lunchtime, Bernard didn't bother going to the cafeteria but excused himself insisting he wanted to go to his room to rest. Emelia had to persuade Sophia to escort him, due to his slightly pale expression she was extremely worried something might be wrong with him.

Bernard looked at his Hp with a solemn expression which had gone down further and was barely at the threshold of becoming zero, this time the moment it turned 1 he felt like his life was about to slip away from his hands, he could feel his lips were quivering even his hands were no exception as they kept on shivering like he had caught a terrible cold.
Thus it was getting harder to think, without breaking his focus it was like the calm before the storm. If losing his Hp was already so difficult to bear, he couldn't imagine what would happen if his Hp eventually reaches zero.
'What's happening?' Bernard thought, during the lesson besides his frustration to bite the lecturer, he had been hallucinating most of the time, he had envisioned himself drinking the blood of a screaming student, and he had only snapped out when he saw himself ripping the heart of a pitiful Emelia making him broke out in cold sweat.
Just like that he kept struggling to reach his room while stumbling and zigzagging, soon within his blurry line of sight he could see the room number of his room ahead of him.
When he finally made it to the door, just as he was about to open the door to the room he suddenly collapsed on the ground, causing Emelia and Sophia to rush towards his figure that was now lying on the floor cold and unconscious.
Looking at his cold and unconscious Bernard Emelia was even more worried, as she kept calling out Sophia to help her out, however, after a while, she soon realized no one was coming so she turned around and she noticed Sophia seemed like she was hesitating whether to help out or not.
"What the hell are you doing?" Emelia shouted at Sophia, her eyes were like that of a beast ready to bite back at her enemy even at the cost of her life.
At this moment she couldn't understand why Sophia wasn't moving or even showing the intention of helping.
Even though Emelia had been shouting at her to help, Sophia at this moment was having mixed feelings, it was different from the ordinary, instead, the memories of the other night were resurfacing in her mind. No matter how much she thought about it, she found his actions to be extremely suspicious.
There were many questions that were currently in her mind that she wanted answers to but yet wasn't able to, however in front of her was the person with the perfect answer to her questions.
After a while of contemplating, she decided to help Emelia carry him to his room for now, if not she was sure if she didn't help she was definitely going to start creating a scene.
