The Vampire Cat System

Once she had finished, she shifted her eyes to stare at them properly, before she continued to speak again.

"Now, that we are done with that. Who among you should I call first? Since all of you look so appetizing that I could just eat you, people, up." Morgan chuckled making a joke no one laughed at before briefly staring at them, and at the same time looking at a holography panel in front of her with boldly written names on it.

Morgan stared at the bracelet, letting her eyes roam across the information she had gotten from headquarters. Looking at the panel, each boldly written name had a small picture beside a few paragraphs of information.

After a long moment of silence.

"Ryan Stone, please step forward."

A male who seemed a bit nervous and shy for some reason walked forward, looking at him Bernard thought if he didn't try to fix the problem of the sun penalty that was triggered for some reason he would probably be much worse than that.

Yet he had no clue, how to stop the sun from affecting it, what's worse he wasn't even wearing a hood or anything that could at least help him shield the sun from affecting the system.

Besides that, his surge of emotions was about to burst all over the place, from anxiety, fear, nervousness, embarrassment, and anger. He looked at him and thought at least Ryan was in a much better shape, whereas he was breaking out in cold sweat.

"What is your symbiote beast?"

"It's a b..bunny." Ryan had a look of embarrassment as he said it.

Hearing what he had said, Bernard and the others finally got to understand why Ryan was both nervous and shy, while a bunny was a symbiote beast no one would expect it to be impressive or strong.

"Oh, a bunny, interesting," Morgan said with a soft smile, making him feel a little bit at ease. "So, can you summon your beast symbiote, for me to take a look?"

"I...I can't." Ryan answered quietly, as he lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid Ryan can you ask it why?" Morgan had a look of curiosity, as she stared at Ryan with stars in her eyes.

"It-it said it is afraid, that you might eat her," Ryan said with a low voice filled with nervousness.

"I understand, for you to be able to fluently communicate with your symbiote beast, means your fusion rate is over 60%. So you don't have to be nervous when you are finally alone try to talk to it and then you can come back for the test since it won't be advisable for you to do it now. So for now I will be giving you an acolyte ranking, of power ranking 0 level 9."

"Thank you." Ryan nodded, with a bit of disappointment and relief.

Although his ranking was basically at the lowest level anyone could ever have in the academy, he didn't really care as long as he was given a chance to prove himself later. At this moment Ryan walked to the side where those men in Black masks were standing.

"Anthony batch, please kindly step forward," Morgana said, putting on her usual soft smile like nothing had happened a few moments ago.

Heaving in a deep sigh, Anthony batch stepped forward.

"What is your symbiote beast?" Morgan asked.

"A squirrel."

----

"Melissa bun, please kindly step forward," Morgan said.

"What is your symbiote beast?"

"A pony."

---

"Nathan Ethan, please kindly step forward. What is your symbiote beast?"

"It's... A sloth."

-

"Bernard Cat, please kindly step forward." After calling different names for a while, it was finally Bernard's turn, after calling his name Morgan watched him walk forward a bit unsteadily.

"What is your symbiote beast?"

Bernard stood there as he contemplated what he should say with a pensive look on his expression, no matter how he thought about his situation, it was clear he couldn't tell her he couldn't communicate with his symbiote beast at the moment.

Since it would be considered quite ridiculous if he said he couldn't after all if those who could communicate with their symbiote but yet couldn't summon it were given ' 0 level 9' acolyte power ranking.

He dreaded the thought, of what power ranking he would be given if he told them not only he couldn't communicate with his symbiote beast but he also couldn't summon his symbiote beast as well.

He wasn't sure, if there had been any case of such a situation before, so for a few moments Bernard seemed like he was spaced out.

Unlike those who could be given symbiote beast by the academy, from how 'Mr meow meow' had described a symbiote beast and their user relationship it was a do or die affair, cause even if he said he didn't possess any symbiote beast, he wouldn't be able to accept another one since a person could only come into contact with just one symbiote beast in their lifetime.

This way, it meant one party would have to die for the other to regain complete freedom. Not only that, a symbiote beast and their user's lives were basically connected as one the moment they accepted each other.

In other words, he couldn't forcefully remove or kill his symbiote beast, if he ever tried to do either one of those two he would die a second later after his symbiote beast.

Before Bernard had been taken to the military academy, 'Mr meow meow' had told him all these things. This meant, that even if he lied about not being in possession of any symbiote beast, the academy would be able to realize this with just one swift test.

After a long moment of contemplating, he realized this was where the problem came from. He couldn't lie about not having a symbiote beast, since he already accepted the cat 'Mr meow meow', lying was basically impossible however accepting he had one meant they would expect him to summon or at least show them he had a symbiote beast.

"I can't communicate with my symbiote beast." Bernard raised his head and finally said, after a while of contemplating.
