The day which felt like it was going to end, finally came to an end. The girls and Ryan in particular were already exhausted from looking all over the academy for Bernard so when they finally saw he was okay and was back as well, their minds became at peace. However, within their peaceful minds, two people, in particular, couldn't fall asleep after lying on their beds, Sophia and Ryan.
Both Sophia and Ryan were pensive, although for completely different reasons.
For Sophia, it was the feeling she had that Bernard was up to something again, however, she realized even after searching she wasn't able to find him it was like he had suddenly disappeared into thin air, she didn't believe he wasn't simply injured and went to somewhere quiet to take care of his wound, it was likely he was doing something else. That proved to her that there was a real chance that he had done something while he was outside the whole time.
For Ryan it was the second year, although bullying was common, but this time he felt they had overdone it, the answer they had given him after being captured was that they were trying to keep to the rules, however, he knew damn well it was because of their of pride, and that was all they cared about, to them it didn't matter who they had to kill or suffer as long as their rules weren't broken and pride wasn't stained, even till now he still couldn't believe it, inside his room Ryan kept quivering uncontrollably he hugged the pillow beside his bed tightly, as tears gradually stream down his eyes.
"Bernard... I am sorry."
Soon just like Bernard, everyone began falling asleep one by one they all had a lot on their minds and couldn't share it with anyone, nevertheless, they still force themselves to sleep throwing all their worries at the back of their mind, including the crying Ryan.
At this moment a loud yawn resounded inside Bernard's room, with his eyes gradually widening he stretched himself lazily on his bed still feeling a bit sleepy but that wasn't all just as he was about close his pair of sleepy eyes again, the system once again greeted him with it usual good morning notification message to his face.
[Daily Quest: 'Meow'Five times]
As Bernard saw the message, he couldn't help but smile he wasn't smiling because he was happy but because he felt like he was becoming more like a cat than a vampire, however, nevertheless he still went ahead and completed the quest the usual way by meowing five times.
[1350/4000]
Bernard had a look of both relief and satisfaction when he saw five exp was added to his overall exp, it was needless to say he was still feeling quite good about his fight yesterday and was also happy about his current growth speed. Although he felt a sense of accomplishment, when he saw his total exp deep down he wasn't satisfied with just getting five exp every day, it was a very slow way of leveling up.
He couldn't help but think about vampires and the lores about them, it was said the older vampires grew the more stronger they become, which meant even if he didn't go around biting and stealing people's symbiote bloodline, he would still become incredibly strong just by surviving and completing his daily quest, even though it would be an incredibly slow pace.
Although he was only level 3, he already had two skills he could use and three symbiote bloodlines as well on top of his original symbiote bloodline this was simply unheard of. Unlike other symbiote users who only had just one symbiote beast presiding over one particular bloodline in their bodies, Bernard instead not only had his original symbiote bloodline he now also had three symbiote bloodlines he could use as well, which was literally impossible for anyone to achieve.
Even if he choose not to absorb more bloodlines, he could still become the strongest symbiote user in the entire universe, however, it wasn't wise for him to depend on stolen bloodlines, he needed to develop his own symbiote bloodline as well.
It was just as Quzin had said, having more skills or abilities without being able to properly assimilate them together, was simply just stacking all his skills and abilities together without making any progress, and this was what he was trying to avoid, after fighting Tony yesterday this confirmed what Quzin had told him, making him realize how much he needed to train himself to fight properly. The list of things he needed to do was quite long, and learning how to fight was among the top three things he needed to do.
His rough and unrefined way of fighting at the beginning had been good enough since it was only fighting low ranks, symbiote users. However, that would slowly change as he rose through the hierarchy, he wouldn't just be fighting strong symbiote users but he would also be facing strong symbiote users who knew how to fight as well, and if he kept using his rough way of fighting it would always end up in a bitter battle every time he fought with his opponents.
His only saving grace for winning that fight yesterday was only because of blood Bending, his reckless style of fighting had almost cost him his life, if it wasn't because he was able to distrupt his opponent's blood flow he would have been stuck between a rock and hard place until he was forced to hang onto his life with his second hp.
This had made learning how to fight to enter his top three priority list, this made him realize he seriously needed some real training and experience, this couldn't be learned just by fighting a student every single day.
