Chapter 39 Hunger Mood
Even though Bernard was really hungry and if given the chance would have snatched Emelia's food out of hunger, he felt it would be inappropriate especially as a gentleman, at this point he could only stare hard enough for her to take notice of how hungry he was voluntary. As if luck was on his side, she eventually turned her head just in time to noticed his intense gaze which was intently staring at her food, almost like his eyes were glued to the food.
Besides that, she could see that the look in his eyes was not normal. It was like someone who hadn't eaten for like a week, and with how she felt Bernard was staring at the food if she didn't give him the few thoughts that popped into her was unimaginative.
"Hey, Bernard… if you're still hungry I don't mind if you take my own food," Emelia looked at him, trying not to stutter over her words.
The moment she said those words, it was as if something had risen inside of him. His eyes at this point could only see the food beside him. His hands moved faster than they had moved in his life before she would change her mind.
After devouring the food even to the last bits, Bernard finally turned his head to notice that Emelia was staring at him with widened eyes.
He saw her mouth was wide open, however, words were refusing to come out of it, at this moment he knew it was time to drop the plate that was in front of his face.
He gradually and just like a gentleman gently dropped back the plate on the table.
"Hmm Thanks, for the food," he said pretending like he couldn't see her dumbfounded expression.
Although he had eaten almost two plates of food, he was still hungry and obviously couldn't ask Sophia for her food, since he was sure she would definitely not give it to him, so he could only quench the remaining hunger by drinking several bottles of water like gluttony.
While Sophia acted obliviously about what happened and was focusing on her food, she was still surprised about Bernard's weird appetite.
The last time she had seen him was at the training hall, at that place he seemed like a completely different person. On top of that, he was much stronger, as his strength was at least twice what he had shown during the test.
While she thought he was definitely hiding his abilities, she still assumes there was a limit and the drawback was definitely what she was seeing, however, the limit was still unknown at least for now she thought to herself.
The moment Bernard was done eating and had just finished the last bottle of water, to his surprise he could see a notification message in front of his eyes, for some reason he could already guess why he got the notification message.
[Hunger quest has been successfully completed]
[reward received 5 exp]
[Total:80/100]
Bernard stared at both his side to see if anyone was staring at him, luckily everyone was too busy minding their business to notice the excited look on his face, although he felt the amount he had eaten wasn't enough but was enough to satisfy the system hunger mode.
Looking at the amount of exp he had, he was quite excited since he only needed 20 more experience points to reach the system quote to level up. Finally, he thought for the first time, things weren't looking as slow as they were previously. The more he thought about the system, the more he became slightly impatient. This also made him remember the Mr meow meow as he wonder what the cat must be doing inside his body making him feel creeped out with the thought of that.
As he turned around he could see Emelia was seeping a can of juice with teary eyes, as he thought about her, he recalled that he had eaten her food, however that wasn't what he was thinking about at least at the moment beforehand, he had been wanting to test his newly unlocked skill 'appraise' if he wanted to know more about his opponent then appraise would be a big help for Bernard.
'Activate appraise.' Bernard thought as he looked at both Emelia and Sophia.
[Name: Emelia water]
[?????:?????]

[Symbiote Beast:Unknown]
[Hp:Full]
[Name: Sophia Ash]
[?????:?????]
[Human Status:Neutral]
[Symbiote Beast: Unknown]
[Hp:Full]
Bernard shifted his vision as the panels in front of him, followed his line of sight after making sure he was done he began to read what was being displayed on the screen. The more he read the more confused he became, though he had already guessed the reason he still found it a bit odd. Ever since he unlocked the skill, except he came into personal contact with his opponent symbiote beast the system would display the person symbiote beast was unknown.
He would have loved to ask Sophia what type of symbiote beast she had but apart from the fact he thought it was rude she would just ignore him as if he was talking to himself. While for Emelia from what he had seen during the test she didn't use any symbiote beast but instead a weird-looking wolf staff to channel her ability.
