[°Bernard quietly lifted Tony's body from the ground, with his teeth still stuck on his neck. His hands tightly clutch his body from falling from his grip. Although this wasn't the first time this was happened, Bernard still had a look of curiosity on his face, he couldn't help but think about Emelia and how he had nearly stolen her bloodline, and chuckled slightly to himself.

[Bloodline thieving process:3% - 100%]

He kept looking at the panel, as he watch the bar of extracting the bloodline increased.°]

While the extraction process was ongoing, Bernard's eyes kept glowing bright red sanguine color, they were like two pairs of lanterns. If Bernard could see himself in the mirror, he would realize this was happening due to the fact he was sucking out Tony's symbiote bloodline from his body. Bernard stared at the panel and was calculating how long it would take for the extraction processing to finish, but after looking at it for a while he realized it might take a while.

Since the process might take a while Bernard tried to open his status screen, but soon realize it wasn't working, because the extraction process was still ongoing so he had no choice but to wait patiently. After nearly two minutes, Bernard looked at the panel that was flashing in front of him with a notification message.

[Congratulations! Host has successfully acquired Enhancement symbiote bloodline]

Bernard smiled and finally decided to look at his status screen, his eyes narrowed down until he could see a new bloodline below called electromagnetic force, after making sure there was nothing more, he also began to look at his attributes, after looking at it for while he noticed among his attributes only perception was below 18 while the rest were close to twenty, without thinking further he put the free attribute point into perception.

[perception:18]

The reason why he did this was quite simple, in terms of strength he had blood bending which could easily take care of most situations, especially in the academy where all his opponents were all made from blood, while for agility he had dash which could increase his speed by 5 points, even though he had thought of putting the free attribute point to agility like he had always done, this time he decided against it not because he didn't think having more speed wasn't good. But if he did this, he would just be like a car with no brakes or side mirrors.

It could be said that perception was one of the reasons, why he was still alive and didn't suffer any serious wounds during the fight with Tony, because of it he could sense where the flying mechanical parts would appear from, while stamina was good it wasn't that important at the moment if he should put it on stamina he would feel like he was wasting the attribute point at this moment.

Although a jack of all trades seemed like it was good, it would slow down his growth, especially in a place like the academy where to specialize in a specific area was the trend.

Not just that he would be able to maximize the use of his attribute points, and as well grow quicker by putting the points in attributes that increase his chance of survival. It would allow him to be superior to other symbiote users at the same level as him, this was one of the reasons he decided to put the free attributes point in perception then later he could think about increasing stamina.

It wasn't like his life was in danger or was trying to escape from an extremely powerful foe. Although it sounded silly if there was ever a time he would be facing an army of symbiote users, only then would he begin to take putting more attribute points on stamina seriously, but now he would only put any free attributes point he got into agility firstly then secondly perception.

After he was done Bernard stood up straight, just as he was about to take a step forward he suddenly held his stomach and the next instant a loud rumbling sound could be heard, he had the look of embarrassment before he realize he was the only one there since both Greg and tony were literally unconscious. Even though he had managed to recover his health and stop his overwhelming urge for blood, he still hadn't been able to recover his energy which could be done only by eating food.

Bernard stood there in place, wondering if he should just run away to go take care of the hunger crisis or arrange the scene to look more like they had fought themselves. However, he realize that would be stupid of him, since they would clearly deny this fact the moment they were awake, as he looked at Greg he wondered if the dude was still alive since he got nailed to the ground when he fell down.

Due to how fast he punched him, he was sure the dude wasn't able to see who had punched him, which clearly saved him the effort and worry.

As for Tony, Bernard fell into contemplation he hoped that the dude hadn't seen his face or anything that could give himself out, but he couldn't be sure. Bernard pondered what he should do with Tony, their fight had been very heated to the point it became a life or death battle, as he was thinking he had forgotten to check something, which was the marks on the necks of Greg and Tony that was now disappearing.

'Should I just kill the both of them?' Bernard suddenly thought, but soon decided against it although it would be easy to carry out such plan since they were unconscious, this was likely to give himself out. After all, they clearly had their bracelets on which would immediately alert the school guards, although bullying of students was welcome in the academy it didn't mean killing was as well.
