The Vampire Cat System-Chapter 44 Invisible Man
"So it's best we don't act. If we don't want to get ourselves hurt." Bernard said with a hushed tone before he stopped talking as they continued to walk deeper into the obscure building.
Eventually, after they had walked for a while they arrived at their destination. At this place, they could see some second-year students passing, however, the moment they saw them they began to gradually leave until eventually they were left alone.
Soon the place was as quiet as a graveyard.
"Here are the students." At this point, one of the second-year students said out loud almost as if he was trying to inform a person of their arrival.
However, a few seconds later a clanking noise could be heard with light footsteps and then a thud sound.
"I see them, you guys leave for now until am done." An hoarse voice could be heard, however, they could not see anyone it was like there was someone there but as well not there making them realize that whoever that was speaking was either projecting his voice over or was truly invisible since they could feel someone was watching them.
Within a few seconds, the four of them were the only students left in the area.
"Lately, I have been hearing an ongoing rumor about a high-rank student mingling with trash? Is that true?"
"For a chicken, you talk a lot." A cold voice retorted immediately after, hearing the voice made everyone surprise since the person who had just spoken was none other than the cold and nonchalant Sophia, just like before her expression was uncaring and aloof, but she wasn't afraid as she showed her ground.
"Interesting, so you are the cold beauty." the voice said like he wasn't offended.
"First of all, I will pardon your ignorance this time. Since it can be said that, you're new and not aware of the unwritten rules every high-ranking student must follow, you see the very moment the aboriginals and the academy came into existence there were rules to follow to govern us." The voice slowly said before pausing almost as if to let his words sink into their heads.
"The rules were meant to show these trash their place in the society, to make them realize where to step and where not to if not they start thinking they are equal with us." 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
"Now that you're here, I will be helping them by letting them know their place."
Meanwhile, Bernard at the moment was trying to make sense of where they were, however, he found it impossible to even see his surrounding properly, the tears in his eyes was making his line of sight blurry. So he thought of using appraise on his surrounding, however, he realize because of his blurry vision he couldn't even read what was written on the panel in front of him.
He realize all his effort to read the panel, was making him cry the more.
'What's happening?' Bernard thought inwardly in surprise. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
"For example just look around you, do you think it when you're truly in danger this trash would be of any help? Do you know why? because they would be scared shitless to even think about you. This was why these unwritten rules existed, these rules are to filter the real heroes from trash who wouldn't be able to hold their grounds if war were to break out."
[An invisible symbiote user has been detected]
[Battle mode has been triggered]
[Battle mode initiated]
While Bernard was still busy trying to figure out, what was happening to him and the system he failed to realize the system had initiated battle on its own, soon he noticed he had this familiar feeling almost like his body had a mind of its own, his body began to shake expressing his anger and will to fight.
To everyone's surprise, they noticed Bernard was now staring at a particular place and was already walking forward, amid the invisible guy talking he suddenly pause as he felt as something was trying to spy on him, however as if that wasn't enough he could see a rank 1 student was walking towards where his voice was coming from making him bewildered.
While no one knew what Bernard was trying doing they couldn't help but stare at him, as he moved forward Bernard felt as if the system was commencing a technique on its own.
Suddenly his body moved forward on its won, his right hand was into fist position as he fiercely struck forward, there was a loud laugh the moment Bernard was close to where the symbiote user was beside hitting empty he felt someone had hit him heavily right in the stomach sending his figure flying backward.
Although everyone was still surprised about the sudden turn of event, they still rushed towards Bernard with a flustered expression, wondering what was happening to him for some reason they felt he wasn't himself, Sophia tried to look at his eyes but felt like her vision itself was going blur.
'Is it because of the drawback of having to use his abilities? Or the effects of two aboriginals giving birth to a child.'
Sophia wondered thoughtfully.
However, she couldn't care about that for now since their situation wasn't looking good especially since Bernard had initiated an attack out of the blue.
"As I said earlier, the weak would only drag the strong down just like this idiot. I don't care if you take my advice or not, but if you want to stay alive and live long enough to see the next day heed my words. I would also hate to repeat myself."
