Previously on The Vampire Cat System
[Looking at her, Bernard was sure she had completely lost her mind, agreeing with her hypothesis would definitely bring him nothing but troubles in the future.
Emelia then looked at him, before she suddenly started to slide off the jacket beside her neck showing off her soft skin for him to see. Bernard didn't know what she would achieve by doing that but he knew if it was his previous self he definitely would have grown the urge and would have quickly pounced on her, but now the effect was nothing but zero.]
"Please bite me again," Emelia said then she closed her eyes tightly, awaiting the pleasure of being bitten.
"Alright, I understand," Bernard said with a straight face.
After adjusting her jacket she waited for him to suddenly pounced on her and feel her blood coursing through her body with that tingling sensation, however after a few seconds to nearly a minute she realized nothing was happening, gradually she opened her eyes only to see Bernard still sitting at his seat without the intention of doing anything.
He looked at her expression before exhaling with a big sigh, the situation had become more complicated than he had thought it wasn't him who was making the situation so but Emelia, who was sitting right in front of him.
"Firstly, I am not who you think I am, I know myself and I know I am definitely no vampire." Bernard said. "As I said before, no matter how hard I try to recall I can't seem to recall anything of such event happening in the first place, I only fainted due to I was sick."
Hearing what he said, the warm expression on her face immediately disappeared.
"You know what I mean right?" Bernard said, waiting for her response.
Emelia nodded as she looked at him, from what he had said according to him, to put it simply what he was trying to say was that whatever that had happened was not intentional and he even had no memories of it.
She had no idea if what he said was the truth or not, but she definitely wouldn't force him to admit anything at this point, however, she knew there was definitely something amiss with him it was either with his body or his symbiote beast.
If she had recalled correctly she could still remember he had stated he had no symbiote beast, yet the supervisor had still let him take the test not just that he didn't collect the academy standard symbiote beast as well, she didn't find it too strange at that time but now it confirmed her suspicion.
It was likely his body was being possessed to do things and thus was the reason why he had no recollection of him doing anything himself.
Although she was guessing the possibility of this, she wasn't going to tell him because there was also a chance he was lying to her and she couldn't imagine why he was hell-bent on hiding it.
"So that means you can't recall anything right?" Emelia asked, making Bernard, nod his head in response.
"Then do you have a symbiote beast? If you do, can you use its ability?"
"Yes. however, I can't use its ability nor communicate with it." Bernard missed both the truth and lies together.
Emelia Looked at him this time his expression was more honest, and she realized he might be telling the truth this time around. Searching her memories there were records of why the symbiote beast would act like this, it was either the symbiote beast's ranking was too high it only occupied its body with no intention of communicating with its host, or the symbiote beast disliked its host or the symbiote beast was too low and also an infant.
"But if you couldn't communicate with your symbiote beast, why did you reject the symbiote beast from the academy? At least that way you would be able to get a new bloodline. One you can also communicate with." Emelia said with a puzzled expression.
"Yeah I wish it was that easy, you know except your symbiote beast dies you can't accept another one right?" Bernard said making realization dawned on Emelia.
She looked at him again this time she was debating his words in her heart, but she couldn't come to straight out conclusion, however now she knew there was a reason why he didn't accept the academy symbiote, so even if he had accepted it he wouldn't have been able to assimilate with it.
In the end, he would have been stuck between a rock and a hard place, she nodded her head since this was indeed a logical explanation, symbiote beasts ain't like pets that you could train multiple of them at the same time they had consciousness and life in them not just that they could also communicate with humans compared to a normal pet which only expresses their feelings.
Even the aboriginals who were seen as literal gods had only one symbiote beast each, in comparison to a normal human whose gene had yet to be mutated and genetically evolved just two low ranks of symbiote beast meant suicide.
If it was possible for a person to accept multiple symbiote beasts, the academy would surely have become the strongest force among the top organizations in the galactic universe. There had been records of those who had tried it and the sheer pressure, power, and mutation of the opposite symbiote beasts died within less than a second and this was the longest time any person had lasted after assimilating multiple symbiote beasts.
This was why the academy didn't force him to accept their symbiote beast.
Bernard and Emelia gradually began to talk for a while, without her no longer insisting on him biting her on the neck or asking him if he was a vampire, this made Bernard heave in a sigh of relief convincing her had been anything but easy he thought.
