The Vampire Cat System

Previously on The Vampire Cat System

[It was as he thought, the evolution had not only made him stronger it had also modified his blood as well, after looking at it for a while Bernard focused his attention on the test tube and gulped it down, just like before the fragrance wasn't metallic but rather sweet and enticing even when coming from himself.

As the blood ran down his throat, he felt weird at first, he couldn't really describe the feeling but the after feeling was a warm and cold sensation coursing through every part of his veins at the same time, this made him realize although he was drinking his own blood his taste bud and sense of smell doesn't discriminate were the blood came from.]

[You have lost -0.5 HP]

[19.5/20]

[Your HP will begin recovery]

As he savored the after taste, Bernard raised his and looked at the notification messages in front of him in surprise.

[Your Hp has fully recovered]

[Your Hp is full]

[There is no hunger]

[The blood of the Host will have no effect]

[No Attribute point received from drinking blood]

Looking at the remaining notification messages, Bernard was even more surprised to see them. It was as he thought, using his own blood could make him recover his Hp however it would only work when his Hp had decreased or he was hungry. Just like the time he had consumed blood to recover his Hp, this meant even if he drank from Emelia's blood again he wouldn't receive any extra benefit except he found a new victim.

Also, there was no exaggerated effect like the last time, judging by the message taking his own blood was like inflicting himself with a wound, Bernard was even more surprised by this it seemed like taking his own blood and getting injured from a fight is judged by the system as one thing.

While he was surprised his curiosity grew as well, from what the system had stated taking his own blood was like trade by barter with himself, this meant that except if he drank from someone else he would keep on losing his Hp every time he took his blood.

Bernard had a smile on his expression when he thought of that. While this was just his hypothesis and theory, he had just confirmed some part of it so he was obviously happy compared to going around and biting people. It was much safer to utilize his own blood instead.

However, while he was feeling happy, he also needed to confirm another thing that was on his mind.

Even though Bernard wanted to test it straight away, he was unable to since it would be hard to look for a person who was willing to let him take a few test tubes of their blood, except the crazy girl Emelia.

Thinking about Emelia Bernard still found it weird, that rather than being scared by the fact he was a supposed vampire and that she had been bitten, she was instead excited.

'Alright, I guess I am done and should leave before someone sees me.' Bernard thought to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he could hear loud footsteps of people walking in the area. Soon he could hear voices talking in the area. Bernard moved closer as it seemed like the footsteps and voices were getting closer to where he was hiding, after a while the advancement stopped.

"Now that you are here, I hope the reason you came this time is that you brought the credit points, otherwise you better prepare a logical explanation for disturbing me." An aloof male voice said.

As Bernard listened he realized that the voice sounded somewhat familiar like he had heard it somewhere before, however, he couldn't recall where he had heard it from nevertheless he still continued to listen since he couldn't leave anyways.

"S..sorry, however, the first-year students had been putting up resistance either by avoiding us totally or by walking in large groups." Another male voice said, stuttering over his words as he replied.

"Can't you reduce the quota of the credit points? I even got beaten last time by a mysterious rank 4 student." The boy said as he complained.

"Oh interesting, did you see this so-called 'mysterious rank 4 students' face by any chance?" The person at the other end replied, with mockery and sarcasm oozing from his voice, not taking what the first-year student had said seriously.

The more they kept talking Bernard realized both voices sounded extremely familiar to him even the mysterious rank 4 students sounded familiar, what he didn't know was after ambushing and knocking out a first-year student called Dave unconscious he had been going around telling everyone he was beaten by a mysterious rank 4 student.

After a few moments of contemplating inwardly, he decided to duck down and move closer.

After getting much closer, he realized who the owner of the voices was, making him recall the memories of two events. One was the group of second year students who called him trash and the other was Dave who he had knocked out unconscious.

This made him realize what was going on, it looked like this was the second-year student who collected those stolen credit points from him.

Bernard then looked around him, and went into his portable bag, taking out a piece of black cloth he made a pair of holes making it seem somewhat like a mask, even as he did this he couldn't help but remember one of his childhood cartoon "The Legend of Zorro ''. The last time when he fought Dave he wasn't wearing a mask, which would have exposed who he was if he was seen and now he felt like he had an assurance to hide his identity even if he was exposed.

No one would easily recognize him, due to the slightly dark atmosphere and the black cloth on his face.

Since he didn't finish his business with him properly the last time, this time Bernard wouldn't let him go even with the second-year student there, he still wanted to test the gap between them.
