The Vampire Cat System

​ "Yeah, never mind that I wasn't hungry and I also wasn't feeling too well," Emelia said, after a moment of silence almost like she was contemplating ovet her words.

Bernard raised his brow, his eyes which had been focused on Emelia turned to look at Sophia, however as usual she remained silent, this was her own way of not wanting to talk.

"We also have been waiting for you guys for a while now." Sophia tilted her head slightly, making them surprised by her words.

As if they came under some sort of secret consensus, Emelia suddenly looked at Sophia who nodded for her to go ahead while standing behind her.

"I would like to apologize for the way I reacted earlier. I hope you guys can understand, I wasn't angry at any of you but at the academy and the way those second-year students treated us like trash." Emelia said, biting her lips before she lowered her head trying as much as possible to show them how sincere her apology was. Looking at her expression Bernard noticed her face was slightly red, even her eyes were a little swollen from crying her eyes out he thought inwardly.

"Have you been crying? Is that the reason you didn't come to the cafeteria?"Bernard suddenly asked with some concern in his voice, however his question startled her.

"Oh, you mean this? Something fell into my eyes on my way to be cafeteria so I couldn't come." Emelia touched her face, as she lied through her lips."But don't worry, I already removed the stuff," She said, trying to sound cheerful amid her hoarse tone.

Since she already said most of what she needed to say, Emelia decided to excuse herself.

Bernard looked at her and didn't try to stop her, since he had noticed if she stayed any longer than this she was definitely going to start pulling her eyes out, so he didn't try to stop her nor did Sophia or Ryan.

Once she was gone, Ryan looked at both Bernard and Sophia before bidding farewell as he went inside his room tube. This time, they were the only ones left, the two continued to stare at each other, with Sophia staring at him coldly.

Bernard looked at her. He had few questions he wanted to ask her however, before he could even say anything Sophia had already walked inside her room tube, shutting the door right on his face.

After an awkward silence, he felt a bit disappointed since he was the only one still outside but he didn't mind it after all his whole life had been like that so he was able to quickly accept the fact he was all alone.

Although he would have liked to buy a few snacks for himself to get over his boredom since he still had his credit points, however, he thought against it since it would only make him bloated and thus would be hard to sleep peacefully without trying to adjust his big stomach.

After standing for a while, Bernard thought he should take a long stroll at least that way he would quickly get over his boredom, and if he got hungry on the way he could just get whatever he wanted on the way making it a win-win for him.

After about a few minutes of walking, Bernarf pushed open the large door after a quick verification of his face and identity and walked out.

Outside the door was a steellike corridor, built with embedded lamps along the hall giving the long hall a sense of liveliness and warmth. The hall was a bit long, and on both sides, he could see passages that led to various halls with teleportation devices in them, with numbers of other equipment.

The suspended virtual screen on the side showed which direction a person should go, and what place was the entrance and exit, this was dedicated to students or any academy personnel who wanted to visit the academy convenience stores.

The convenience stores in the academy were numerous and also humongous, and it was divided into multiple bases, where Bernard was currently located was the core area leading to any store of his choice.

He touched his stomach, and realized he was not completely hungry yet but soon would be so he decided to browse through the stores first, maybe he might just see a comic bookstore. Over the past few minutes, Bernard realized something odd the more he walked the more he felt alive. Soon he began to jog after which he thought maybe he should run, it was almost like his body had unlimited stamina.

While it was odd he wasn't afraid but was rather excited, at this moment he suddenly noticed even his eyes would become much brighter and clearer when he looked at a dark place. This was especially so when he went under a forest tree inside the academy.

What came after made Bernard so shocked, the normal-looking tree suddenly seemed like it was an entire world of its own. The vision from his eyes made everything seem like he was zooming through every bark of the tree, even the particles between the non-noticeable gaps.

After a while, he happily noticed even his ears weren't out of the enhancement his legs and eyes got, to his biggest surprise he eventually realized he was already right in front of a store even without realizing it.
