"Haha…F*cker, you see that?" Dave said, giving him the middle finger as he taunted him after throwing the small fireball at him.

When he looked he could see Bernard, several distances from him with his hands formed into an X tanking the fireball with both his hands.

Under the light he could see his hands were bleeding and were a bit scorched from the impact however instead of rejoicing over his win Dave instead had a horrifying look on his expression as he watched something miraculous happen, the moment Bernard's blood came into contact with the ground it began to sizzle like hot oil pour in a bowl of water even the wound on his hands seem to be completely gone.

[Healing Mode has been Initiated]

As he saw this notification message he curse inwardly, as he took a few steps backward he looked at his hands, even though his skin was completely healed he still had a little pain from his hands.

"What?" Dave blurted out in shock, he rubbed both his eyes in confusion wondering if he was the only one who saw that. Then he looked at the bracelet on his attacker's wrist which was indicating rank 1 and wondered if he was not mistaking the rank for another number.

Although confused, he quickly got over it only by defeating his attacker would he get the chance to confirm his hypothesis."I don't know what games, you're playing but I do know a rank one shouldn't have such a powerful healing symbiote unless you're hiding your true rank and had stolen someone else Bracelet."

Startled, Bernard looked at Dave for a moment as realization soon dawned upon him, luckily the environment was dark and he couldn't see his face, otherwise, he was sure even if he won his identity would have been exposed and spread throughout the entire academy the next day.

'Activate Appraise.' Bernard thought inwardly, as the system interface soon display his opponent's stats.

[Name: Dave]

[?????:?????]

[Race: Human/Symbiote-based]

[Human Status: Unfriendly]

[symbiote Beast: Fire Monkey]

[Hp: Recovering/10]

Upon looking at Dave's stats, although the pain was still coursing through his hands Bernard almost burst into laughter.'No wonder he's been shit talking so much.'

After his initial surprise, he decided it would be best to avoid Dave's throwing fireballs at him, however, he realized it was easier said than done, unless he could finish him off in one strike he would keep getting injured by those small fireballs even if he could dodge them.

Although the attacker had given him a surprise, it was only because of his fast healing property that made him wary, compared to his attacker's strength he was more wary of how fast he could heal himself.

This time, Bernard didn't wait for him to start forming fireballs before he charged at him again, with his now unique eyes he felt he could put them to good use when Dave was about to throw his fireball at him.

Not giving him the chance to catch his breath, Bernard suddenly appeared in front of him dodging the fireball he was about to throw at him, and fiercely gave him a punch to his face. Just like before Dave curse out loudly non-stop, as he kept staggering backward from the impact, touching his now swollen red cheek he spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

This time, he was beginning to think he was being toyed with by a higher rank student who had nothing else to do, giving how fast his healing was he reckon his attacker's rank would be at least 2 to 3 ranks higher than him to possess such an ability, even his punch was strong enough to send his figure staggering upon every impact.

Thinking he was already getting the hang of his abilities, Bernard was ready to throw another punch when he suddenly realized in Dave's hands were two fireballs that were burning brightly almost like he was beginning to go all out.

With two fireballs in both his hands, he had a cruel grin on his face as he threw the fireball on his left hand at Bernard, and without a doubt just like he thought his attacker tried to dodge only to get a second fireball thrown at him from his blind spot.

[Healing mode has been Initiated]

-2 Hp

Bernard held his right arm, clutching the part that was oozing out smoke he almost cursed from the pain he was feeling at this moment. With this second fireball thrown at him, he began to get anxious and a bit desperate, the pain coursing through his arm felt like torture, what was worse, was the fact his Hp was constantly reducing with every impact.

If it kept reducing until it was eventually zero, Bernard dreaded the thought of what would happen at that point, losing his consciousness and failing to level up was one point, dying from losing too much was also another point.

Either way, he wasn't willing to risk it and find out what would happen.
