The Vampire Cat System

After he left, the girls felt something was odd about the way Bernard left, so Emelia couldn't help but look at Ryan with a worried expression.

"Is he okay?"Emelia asked.

"Yeah, I am sure," Ryan replied.

After waiting for some time in the weapon hall, without realizing it time had gone a bit far, however, Bernard was nowhere to be seen they noticed Bernard had been gone for a while yet he hadn't returned, the group gradually became worried except Sonia, finally, they decided to go look for him maybe something might had happened to him on his way to the clinic they thought, but just as they were about to go look for him they could see Bernard walking towards them with a smile on his expression, not only that they also noticed there was no more blood on his shirt what's more he even seem like he had changed his shirt on his way.

When they saw he was really okay, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, even though Bernard wasn't the strongest in the team, subconsciously they had thought of him to be the strongest, not just that without them realizing it they had gradually begun to rely more and more on him, emotionally and mentally, for some reason they felt without him around them, something seem to be missing and only with him around would their group be one as it supposed to be.

Once he arrived they soon regroup themselves, and immediately got down to discussing their formation when they would eventually arrive on the planet, during their discussions Bernard, the girls, and Ryan were the ones doing the talks while Sonia instead didn't say much, and only kept quiet most of the time, from her silence it seemed like she was ready to accept any role she was given in the team, Bernard didn't know if it was because she had lost the challenge or it was because she really had no problem with it, nevertheless he wasn't going to misuse such a strong ally in his team.

Even though the discussions didn't last long, they were able to cover most of what they thought was important, if not all, since they would be traveling as a group during the exploration, Emelia was given the role of being an auxiliary mate, which meant she didn't need to do much fighting and would instead stay between the middle and the back to support Sophia and Sonia, when there was a fight.

However, after that things got a little bit complicated especially since there were still three roles remaining, which were the attack, defense, and control, usually if their group was a little bit stronger they wouldn't have thought much of it, but then Ryan was considered weak not only was his symbiote bloodline weak same was the ability it produce as well.

It was that bad that even if they gave him the auxiliary role he wouldn't be of much help, while for Bernard they didn't know what role would fit him, to be honest, even though on the surface he seemed quite strong to them they still didn't know if giving him the attack, defense, and even control role would do more harm than good.

None of the girls except Sonia, wanted Bernard to truly fight because there was a chance he might get injured, and because his symbiote bloodline was said to be weak it would take too long to heal himself if he fought a strong magical beast so Sophia kept volunteering to take the roles he was supposed to be given, although Emelia wanted to do the same but then her ability even though strong was still weak when compared to the likes of Sophia and Sonia.

In the end, Sophia volunteer to protect Bernard, if he was to be given the control role due to his incredible perception, not only that for the exploration they needed to buy a bunch of bloodline pills for Bernard in case he was injured, so everyone had no choice but contribute some of their credit points to Emelia who was task to purchase them, eventually, due to Sonia porcupine symbiote bloodline, she was given the role of defense, while Sophia took the role of attack.

For once Bernard was happy with his situation, even though he wasn't able to use his bloodline no one would find it weird that he could fight as well, at most just like the old man Quzin had said before he had a perception sense for battle and a special affinity with a beast weapon, this would then be his perfect excuse to breeze through any situation in the future, what's more no one would find it strange when he finally get a powerful beast weapon and unlock a second gear of the beast weapon.

,m With that, they finally came to the end of their discussion Sophia would be the attacker during the exploration, while Sonia would be the defender, and then Bernard would be the controller, and finally, Emelia and Ryan would be the auxiliaries in their team, although Ryan wasn't that happy with his role but then he had no choice considering he was weak, not only that he would also be protected he didn't think too much about it and willingly accepted it, it was needless to say it was better than joining those arrogant strong first years where he would be treated like an errand boy.

As Ryan thought about this he couldn't help but think about the second years, as he thought about them he couldn't help but frown although he had accepted to do their bidding for the last time, however, the confusing thing was they hadn't told him what to do yet, it was like they were still planning what he should do for them, but then he doubted if they were truly still planning, instead, he was sure they just wanted to make him feel more guilt and when he was down then they would strike at him, however, he wasn't going to let them use him as they please again.
