The Vampire Cat System-Chapter 27 Unexpected Notification

"What's funny? I honestly think it might not like you or be afraid of you. Symbiote beast hating or being afraid of their counterpart isn't a rare occurrence. Sure they might have accepted you at first, but later they might begin to hate on their user. Are you sure your situation isn't like I have said?"

Hearing this, Bernard was really surprised by her words. He would have loved to express how wrong she was, but he understood what she was hinting at and was just trying to help. He also guesses if he was in her place, he definitely would have repeated her exact words. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

In his defense, his situation wasn't like that though it wasn't like that he still appreciated her trying to help him. Unfortunately, for him, it seemed like he would have to do more than just browse through books.

Staying and looking in one particular area wouldn't do much, so he decided to look at other places inside the library by going further from his reading table.

Gradually, while he didn't realize it he had spent more than four hours in the library, eventually browsing through all the first-year symbiote beasts and the public information regarding their abilities, which wasn't much since the information was mostly from rank 1 symbiote beasts, and if he wanted more he would have to go through the next floor which was for the second year.

He was still very cautious of the military academy and at the moment he didn't have a great relationship or special connections, that would bail him out of trouble if he decided to venture into other floors meant for the senior year students, so he decided against it.

While Bernard continued to look deeper in the library, he had long thrown what Emelia said at the back of his mind. And at this moment, he was considering what type of book he should look for.

After all, his symbiote was a cat, but then what about the system? Perhaps he really should try his chances with a book that has a cat in them.

And so time went by. After nearly six hours of browsing through the library, Bernard finally kept the last book he held back on the shelve.

The reality was paying attention to everything that had talked about cats made him disappointed, the problem was while he had seen books that talked about cats it was just basic knowledge and nothing impressive.

As Bernard was walking he bumped into a glass-like shelve, quickly he held on to the shelve tightly, trying to prevent it from collapsing on his body as he held it back to its position.

When he was about to leave, Bernard halted his step.

He looked around seemingly to realize the books that had felled from the shelve, before bending down to pick the rows of books on the floor.

While putting the books back one after the other, one of them caught his attention. The title was odd, yet it piqued his attention.

"The vampire cat" This was the intriguing title, as Bernard softly muttered. He held the light book in his palm, the book was purely dark except for two red eyes that he could see on the front cover.

Flipping the book open, the first page had nothing written on it, the same thing went on until he reached the middle of the book, seeing this made the expectation in his eyes dull down after that he began to see words.

Soon he started flipping through the pages until he was sure he had read everything in the book. Bernard had no clue who would have written such a thing, but he bet it must have surely been out of boredom to even place them in an academy library.

Despite how intriguing the title was, after a few minutes of reading the book he was left disappointed. The worse part was the writer even went on to describe, how a cat would rise from a black coffin with red pupils, and go around casting illusions, knocking people out cold while doing all of this was just so it could drink blood to sate its unending hunger.

Putting the book back, Bernard realized he must have grabbed a fantasy book unknowingly to him. While he felt a bit disappointed, he had no choice but to eventually stop and call it a day.

It just so happened, that reality didn't seem like he was going to find anything useful.

Upon dropping the book, Bernard began to walk back towards his reading table, where Emelia was.

However, what he would never imagine was that the moment he left, on the front cover of the book the two red eyes began to glow a bit brightly, several seconds later the book began to burn and eventually became a pile of ashes that blew towards the direction Bernard had just taken.

As Bernard continued to walk he thought of Emelia, and if she was still there reading books.

Just then he felt something strange run through and into his nose, almost as if he had inhaled something. His face turned a bit pale, and he couldn't help but have the urge to sneeze.

After about ten seconds, he couldn't restrain himself anymore as he sneezed into the wisp helmet.

He opened his eyes a bit afraid, that someone might have seen him sneezing inside the-wisp helmet when he noticed something floating mid-air in front of him.

His eyes focused on the system panel, as something unbelievable happened.
