[However, he was still far behind compared to those who had high-rank symbiote beast bloodline, luckily for Bernard, he had acquired two new symbiote bloodline abilities from the two students, what more the extra blood he had absorbed from them.

Although the students he had acquired the bloodlines from, weren't particularly strong even among their levels, regardless of that they still had some level of strength in their ranks. Because of the recent fight he had with several students higher than his rank, he gotten a good grasp of how to fight at this point, he wouldn't particularly lose even if he was to face a rank 4 student.]

While Bernard thought he needed more skill, for now, he needed not to worry about that since he had just gotten his hands on two symbiote bloodlines, however, while he might not need more skills for now there was an urgent need to grasp hold of his current abilities and put them into more practice since his combat experience was truly lacking, which he realized when fighting.

At this point, while it might seem like he was quite strong, only he knew that he was most likely to lose when faced with an experienced opponent. Blood Bending was great, only when the opponent was close by, further away from his position it would lose much of its effect or would have no effect at all, also compared to how other of his skills took away energy points for their use, blood Bending took his health point instead which was very fatal to him.

With these new symbiote bloodlines, he would not worry about having to lose his health in exchange for dealing with his enemy. Since he had obtained these abilities, he planned to put them to good use and not allow them to rot away in dust, this was why he was looking forward to the combat class.

As Bernard was thinking, he soon thought of that second-year student he had seen with Dave, this made him realize how deeply the second-year students' influence in the academy were, they were basically shit stirrers.

Although he had no clue, why the academy ignore all their actions even turning a blind eye to the death of students as long as they weren't high ranking, he didn't really care since he could now grow stronger, with the aid of the system he couldn't wait for the day he could steal that second-year student who was trying force some stupid rules down their throats about the academy system.

He didn't want to rely on others, neither did he want to put his friends in harm just because of his actions.

Bernard clenched his fist, as he let out his thoughts.'I need to get stronger!'

One of the reasons even a rank 5 first year might not be a match for a rank 4 second year was not just the difference in terms of combat experience, but the biggest game changer called transformation awakening.

The moment one becomes a second year, they were taught how to awaken this dormant transformation ability. This was what allowed them to overwhelm their opponent, regardless of the first-year ranking, they were given a power boost to unleash the true might of their symbiote abilities.

They could unleash this power in as much as they had enough energy and stamina, this was the reason the second year was a force to be reckoned with. However, this was just the first stage, the second stage of transformation awakening was even more difficult for the some second year to complete.

The second stage of transformation was where they created a symbiote weapon capable of summoning their symbiote beast in a battle, this symbiote weapon was formed from the body of both the symbiote beast and the user itself, containing the characteristics of the two parties.

Compared to a demon beast weapon which could be used by just anyone and could be damaged easily, the symbiote weapon instead could gradually heal itself even after sustaining damages, it could also repair itself completely even after being destroyed all these depended on what type of symbiote beast the user had and their energy reservoir.

Each symbiote user with a symbiote weapon was seen as unfathomable and the ace of the academy, and mostly the heirs of huge organizations and families.

As Bernard was thinking, he looked to his right, this was the hand he had used the syringe on, he kept looking at it for a while before smiling to himself, at this moment he was now a walking blood bank. However, since this was a double-edged weapon, he couldn't rely on it always, the only way to solve his situation was to figure out what would cause his body to need blood and how long at the moment he could go without having to drink.

This was what he had no clue about, what if he went for a dangerous expedition? And his life was in danger, it was likely such a military expedition likely wouldn't take place on a safe planet since the academy might likely use such means to weed out the weak and the useless students, and if they didn't what about the second-year students?

He had already offended a bunch of second-year students, especially that invisible guy who he had almost attacked because of the sun penalty.

In this case, apart from being careful, another thing was how many test tubes of blood would he need to go out with. However, that was not important for now, he would only begin to act when the system message notified him of needing to drink blood.

In these situations, as long as he went on another fighting spree, he would be able to salvage their blood for himself, he didn't need to follow the normal way of completing missions to become strong.

At this moment, Bernard could hear Ryan was shouting however he didn't know why the dude was screaming but he decided to check on him just in case something was happening to him.
