While Greg stood at the front, every question thrown at him was eventually answered by his symbiote beast just at the mont he was about to talk, annoying him but with no choice, he had to stop bothering about it.
After asking various questions they thought were useful to them at the mont, the symbiote beast soon began to introduce various places and the history behind them. All these gradually made them begin understanding their new environnt bit by bit.
When talking about their new environnt and important places, the symbiote parrot had a perpetual sarcasm oozing from its voice.
"Okay peeps, have been talking for so long. Why don't you guys get to know each other, like striking conversations, teasing the pretty girls and all, alright I will leave you guys to do your thing." The parrot said turning around, firstly warming its butt before sitting on Greg's shoulder.
Hearing this, everyone just stared at each other for a mont wondering what they should do, they barely knew each other so they found it a bit awkward and sudden at first. However, a mont later so girls began to discuss what their experience was like in the test, and soon afterward the boys followed suit.
While they kept walking to only Greg knows where a group of people would eventually join them until they were about crowded. Looking around him, Bernard realized so of the boys were already forming their own groups with others who had similar ranks as them. The sa went for girls.
However, he was starting to realize they only cared about what rank a person had. Gradually, he noticed beside him another boy in his group called Ryan Stone, two girls Elia water and Sophia Ash were the only people left behind.
Although for completely different reasons, for him and Ryan Stone he was sure it was probably because they currently had the lowest rank among the groups. For Sophia ash and Elia water, one was too cold and unimpressed to probably bother talking with anyone while Elia water was still reminiscing over her failure.
It was odd to him, how they all acted like complete strangers a mont ago but currently were now acting like best buddies. Needless to say, the four of them were the only people left without a group.
Eventually Ryan Stone got to et his old buddy who was two levels higher than him and joined their group.
Just like that, they were left with only three people, and without realizing it they were now the odd ones among the groups. Elia seed to have been affected too much to even think of joining any group of similar rank.
While Bernard felt a little bad about being seen as an outcast, needless to say, he already expected such an outco, it was no different from earth where the rich mingle with the rich and the poor alike.
As Bernard was standing at the back, he noticed that they were making a scene, and the weirdest part of it was so of the people were staring at him gleefully.
He could see Sophia on the other end, walking forward, even while walking among the crowd of admirers, not for a mont did her expression change. Her cold and stiff expression made her appear highly unfriendly, even the admiration and awe spreading on the expressions of others was imdiately lost in her cold eyes.
However, seeing her walking toward him, Bernard felt a bit tense he could only make up guesses in his mind.
Soon she stopped in front of him, then rely stare at Elia before she finally turned to gaze at him.
Looking at her and then the bold numbers on her bracelet, noisy discussions could be heard coming from every nook and cranny of the place.
Most of them who knew what had happened before had gleeful expressions, others were trying to check what number was written on his bracelet.
Bernard stared back at her, wondering what was going to happen next, looking like a shrimp.
As he stood there, Bernard felt his heart pace increase when he saw her stretch her hand towards him, unfortunately, before he could dart away from her, to his surprise despite trying to avoid her, he seed like he was a step too late.
Bernard had pale skin, while his face lost all the traces of complexion.
"Sorry."
At this mont, his reasoning was abruptly interrupted, as his brain gradually realized the word she had just said out loud.
"Huh?" Bernard was surprised that it took him a few seconds to fully realize the aning of what she said, and what was happening to him.
[Warning! Unknown symbiote ability has been used on you]
[You may choose to either decline or accept however it will result in unimaginable consequences]
He forcefully pulled his hand away from her, once again he realized she wasn't feeling bad or was there to truly apologize because she felt guilty, now it was to confirm her doubts.
After that word, sothing clicked inside of him making his consciousness jerk back to reality.
"Bernard cat?" Sophia questioned him with a straight face, she wouldn't have gone out of her way if she wasn't trying to confirm her suspicion.
"Y-yes." Bernard stuttered over his word, with a flustered expression the system was clearly trying to tell him she had used her symbiote ability on him again, yet he felt like it was both real and fake, although he was confused he still raised his guard up.
"Let's catch up first and look around," Sophia said coldly, still holding his hand with a straight face.
Taking a glance at her, he really considered her to be extrely strange, a mont ago she was all cold but now she was acting all friendly or sothing, he would have loved to voice out his questions but he knew it was likely he wouldn't get the answers he sought for.
As he was about to walk, he slightly turned his head and noticed Elia was still sulking at the back, looking at her reminded him of Michelle that always called him big brother when she was still alive.
