After the fight had finished, the students soon began to disperse however on their faces were looks of excitement, no one had expected the outcome of the match, especially when it was Sonia who had lost. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
Some of the students came had even forgotten the reason they came to the weapon hall in the first place, what they were discussing was about the outcome of the match, with this even if Bernard didn't want others to know the news would still spread than wild fire.
The rest of the group quickly came to meet Bernard, they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere but with looks of surprise on their faces, Emelia and Ryan had quickly held Bernard on his shoulders to try to stop the bleeding, thinking it was deep they tried to wrap the area with a piece of clothing.
After they were done the group continued to look at Sonia, since she had lost the challenge they were sure she would now join their team, however after she lost she hadn't said anything for a while now, rather she had been staring at Bernard since then no one knew why she was staring at him, it was needless to say the whole event of her loss had left a very deep impression, the last thing she had expected was for her to lose just like that, especially to a rank 1 symbiote user.
As she stared at him she couldn't describe what she was feeling, for a moment she felt a bit lost, she had always thought she could easily breeze through every challenge even if the opponent were stronger than her or even had a rank higher than her, even when she saw Sophia although she was cautious of her because of what she did that day she hadn't been the least bit afraid of her, she wanted to ask for a rematch but then the fear of losing again made her decided against it.
Sonia raised her head to glare at Bernard, expecting to see the look of glee and mockery on his expression just like how those she had lost to in the past had always done to her, but when she did she realize he was instead smiling at her, but then she also noticed there was no sign of glee or mockery or even smugness for winning against her considering she had even act rudely when she challenged him.
"In accordance with the terms of the challenge, Sonia is welcome to my team," Bernard said and offered his hand out to her. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
Bernard's voice streamed down into her ear, making her return to reality Sonia didn't reply and simply shook his hand instead, although everything that happened so far was out of her expectation especially her loss she didn't think much about it, and simply consider it her training, in the end, it was just losing what she needed to do was train even harder even if he had won and she join his group, thinking about it, she realize it wasn't as bad as she had thought it would be considering he even had someone strong than her in his team, she joining his team wasn't that hard to accept.
Bernard smiled when he saw this, although things had gone a little out of his control since he was injured in the process, previously he had estimated with the twin daggers his strength would increase and he would be able to avoid getting injured.
But then after the fight started he realize he seemed to have underestimated how powerful her attacks were, to be precise how powerful she was when she used her symbiote bloodline, besides defending against her attacks he wasn't able to do much, but to him, it was within his expectation so he simply played along since he truly wasn't aiming to fight her for real.
Because if had choosed to it would be impossible to have gotten himself injured, although he tried to control how things played out in the fight such macro-level control was definitely impossible to get right especially when acting as the prey, his plan before was only to defend her attacks without even attacking her for real and when she threw her last attack towards him which was very powerful the plan he had at that moment, was that he was supposed to feign struggling and tiredness after defending against it, making it seemed like he had used all of his strength.
But at the very last moment, her attacks had managed to pierce him on the shoulders, which would have been her win if he gave up right on the spot so he had no option but to place his dagger on her neck, to make it his win, otherwise he would have lost to her considering he had not been able to defend against her last attack.
"Bernard, are you okay?"Emelia said to him, she could tell the spikes had really pierced his shoulders deeply, and even with the fact she had used something to tie his shoulder specks of blood could still be seen gradually coating the clothing, when she saw this she couldn't help but help feel her heart was gripped a bit, she hated seeing Bernard bleed for any reason at all, as she recalled who the culprit was she couldn't help but glare at Sonia who was currently standing on the side.
"Yeah, I'm okay."Bernard smiled back at the worried look he could see on Emelia's face, frankly speaking, he felt she was reacting a bit too much, nevertheless seeing everyone so worried about him made him feel slightly warm in his heart he could tell the emotions were genuine, making him sigh in his mind.
Even though Sophia hadn't said anything, it was the opposite she was instead trying to hold herself back, for some reason she felt this strange feeling she hadn't felt before, the emotion was so familiar yet unfamiliar as well and this was the second time she had ever felt such emotion before but more intense.
'What is this feeling?'Sophia thought.
