Chapter 80 Who Said I Was Eavesdropping?
Previously on The Vampire Cat System
[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.]
Since he didn't tell anything relating to him being a vampire the system didn't send another notification warning again making him realize, that the system was basically telling him not to let anyone know he was a vampire, no matter who the person might be or how close their relationship was.
The reason was likely to be related to how vampires behaved, compared to other supernatural entities in fantasy stories, vampires were the most low profile and thus they always tried to keep their identity a secret to the world.
This way they not only avoided trouble, but it also allowed them to do things at the same time not being discovered, the moment he had accepted the symbiote beast and had tasted the blood of a human being he was instantly considered as a vampire.
Because of this, unless he was ready to jinx his whole life letting anyone know he was a vampire was not a wise decision.
While he thought Emelia was listening to everything that he was saying, she was actually thinking about what he had said for a while now and she realized there was likely an organization for the vampires like in the novels, and the more she thought about it the more it seemed logical to her.
What if revealing the truth he was a vampire, was against the vampire rules like in the movies where they would always keep an oath not to tell anyone about their existence except the person was their subordinate?
While she thought about it, she subconsciously touched her neck, and then she thought what if he had mistakenly turned her into his vampire subordinate?
It was another explanation of why he was so adamant in hiding the fact he was a vampire, could it be he was doing it for her sake and safety? They could very well come for her if this hidden and powerful association realized one of them had turned a human into his subordinate.
Although she thought about this, Emelia wouldn't tell him this, only occasionally contributing to his random topic about the lesson she had missed.
They stayed like that for a while, this made him begin to think about the overall situation and he realized not telling anyone about his secret was definitely a big advantage, while it had been difficult at first nevertheless he had been able to get through with it.
Although it could be said he was a vampire he barely knew anything about himself, such as the sun penalty which had an unknown duration when he enters the sun, the effect was like an extremely fat person running under the sun it not only brought fatigue to his senses it also made him weaker as well, this made him interested to start a round of test for himself since he had confirmed after his evolution his basic abilities had been enhanced to a certain extent.
Compared to before, his eyes were now more perfect with the effect of being able to zoom in and see things clearly when he focus on them, while his speed had increased in entirety he was no longer the weak human he was before.
He could definitely outrun even a rank 4 symbiote user just by using dash continuously, and with his abilities and skills, he could overwhelm a rank 2 and a rank 3 if he gave it his all. Not only did this make him confident in himself, he also grew more knowledgeable about vampires although he had no idea if his life span was infinite.
Perhaps as he grew and became more powerful he would be able to find out about it.
"I will be leaving now," Bernard said as he stood up from his seat.
Bernard was happy that Emelia didn't insist on the matter any longer, even if she was suspicious of him there was nothing he could do except accept he had made a blunder. Unlike Sophia, who would rather believe pigs could fly than listen to his lies, although she was cold and kept acting ignorant he was sure she had countless questions and thoughts in her mind.
After the system had given the warning Bernard had no choice but to shut his mouth as if he wasn't aware of what had happened.
After he stood up Bernard then pulled the handle of the door slightly and started to walk out of Emelia's room, before he could continue to walk further to his room.
To his pleasant surprise, he turned around only to realize someone was standing by the side of Emelia's room, the person being none other than Sophia looking at her made him realize it was as if she had been there the whole time eavesdropping on their conversations.
Earlier she had seen Bernard enter Emelia's room, after following them she thought of eavesdropping on their conversation maybe he would finally reveal his secret to Emelia since they were much closer, but then what he said next had made her surprise moreover she couldn't really tell if he was just spouting gibberish or was telling the truth.
While she listened as both of them kept chatting away, her suspicion increased instead the truth was Bernard was still hiding something and wouldn't give up anything to expose his secret.
As the two of them continued to stare at each other, Sophia kept a poker face she wasn't willing to be outdone and wanted the situation to seem like she was just passing by.
