With his only hope of getting out of the mess being Bernard, Ryan turned to look at his friend for help, just maybe he could show them how strong he was. However, the slight hope in his eyes died down when he realized Bernard wasn't reacting or even paying attention to the boys who were already walking toward them with a large and evil grin on their faces.
Ryan felt his heart racing, and he tensed up immediately when he realized how the boys were staring at them intently as they crack up their hands in anticipation, he looked at Bernard who was beside him again wondering what the f*cked he was doing, if it was left for him he would have run for his life without even thinking twice.
While Bernard was still pondering inwardly since he was trying to figure out when the penalty would be over since there wasn't a time limit or any visible countdown notification. Maybe if he could figure out the cooldown of the penalty of entering the sun, he would be able to stand a chance against them since he could sacrifice some experience points to raise his fighting capacity.
Unfortunately, it wasn't so simple, besides there was more than one rank 2, he would face the moment they engage in a fight. If so, he was unsure if he could beat them two talkless of three. Fighting any rank 2 as he was at the moment would only result in him getting thrashed around, however, there was a piece of good news, the good news was while he could definitely avoid beating, it would come at a price which was their academy credits points.
However, just when he was contemplating how many credit points he should give them, a ding sound rang in his head with a system notification message.

After reading the notification message, Bernard no longer contemplated, now that taking the chance to fight them involved Exp points, he longer hesitated after all he was in need of Exp points to level up. At this moment, he wasn't staring at the notification message in front of him but at the group of students that were walking toward them, they didn't seem like a big deal anymore but rather a walking treasure trove.
However, he soon snapped out of his thoughts, being blinded by greed and winning were obviously two different things before he could think of getting the Exp points, it was better to come up with a plan to defeat the group of rank 2s.
Still, he wasn't that worried about facing them, even though they were outnumbered, the system quest had obviously insisted on two things defeat the leader called Dave or defeat the rest of his teammates, which definitely he was going to choose the formal.
Currently, there was still the penalty of entering the sun, which was difficult to get rid of at the moment.
For now, Bernard decided to gamble with his luck, firstly while the opponent he was going to defeat was called dave he didn't know who exactly was the student among them, so he thought of two things and how he should execute this plan of his. Looking at Ryan, he beckons for him to move forward and give them his credit points, even though Ryan was initially surprised he still went ahead to give them his credit points after he arrived he front of them.
After both bracelets came close to each other, the total amount of Ryan credits points appeared on the other students' bracelets, indicating 20cp. After handling it over, Ryan began to walk faster until he got out of the range of the students.
"Hehe…nice one, punk now come forward and give your credit points to daddy."One of the students said, with a tint of mockery in his voice.
Bernard took in a deep breath before walking forward, now that he was in front of them. He looked at them and said out loud."Hey, I want to give them personally to dave."
Hearing, what he said the boys looked at each other before bursting into laughter. "Oi, dave, seems like you gotten pretty famous, to get such a zealousvmale fan." Both of them said as they stare at the boy who was at their left corner with a teasing gaze.
"Hey, little b*stard now that you have seen me unless you wanna get you ass-beating hand over your credit points immediately!" A boy with fiery eyes, thick brows, and hair yelled at Bernard already feeling annoyed by his friend's teasing.
Bernard looked at the student deeply, before raising his right hand closer towards dave bracelet. However, the moment his hand got close enough something incredible happened which stunned everyone, he suddenly clench his fist tightly and fiercely punch upward giving dave a surprise uppercut that caught him off guard.
