Unfortunately, Before Dave could even react to what was happening.
He could only watch Bernard with complete shock on his face as his fist suddenly move up, even though his fist appeared to be weak the moment it struck dave, considering how close they were the moment his fist came into contact with his jaw, it turned pale immediately and the shock he had made him had the urge to almost bite his tongue from being stunned momentarily.
His weak-looking fist formed a punch that struck dave jaw sending his figure staggering backward, knocking the wind out of his mouth. Quickly, taking the chance they were all shocked Bernard shouted at Ryan to run even faster, before running off as well.
For several seconds, both Dave and his friends couldn't react almost like they were daydreaming they had flustered expressions as they stared at Bernard's running figure with wide eyes. After about a few seconds of being initially surprised, everybody soon return to normal jotting back to reality.
After getting a hold of himself, Dave's slightly pale expression was replaced with anger and fury this time not only was his eyes and hair fiery in color but his face was like a volcano about to erupt he was completely pissed off. "Hey, f*ckers what are guys waiting for? Catch those b*stards before they escape!" He yelled loudly.
He had never been so angry and humiliated in his entire life as he was today, what's worse by those he deemed to be trash. However, no matter how pissed off he was he could not do anything except yell out loudly at his friends to give chase to the already running Bernard.
Dave gritted his teeth in anger and cursed inwardly when he realized that it would be difficult to catch those two boys even if his two friends chased them from behind.
Unfortunately, as he predicted his two friends could be seen rushing toward him but there was no sign of the boys. But none of that mattered to him anymore, he could only aggressively move towards the indestructible academy walls right in front of him and shot out three small fireballs to vent his frustration.
He had only planned to collect a few credits points, but now not only was he not going to collect a few credits points, but he was also going to wait for more victims outside the first-year building and as well waiting to see if those boys had the guts to show their face again.
Meanwhile, Bernard and Ryan were still bolting across the hallway as fast as their legs could run, after a while of running they suddenly stopped and turned around to see if anyone was still coming for them, however a moment later they both heave a sigh of relieve.
"Damn even though that was great, it still scared me shitless," Ryan said with a tired but ecstatic look as he praised his Bernard.
"If you were going to do that all along, why didn't you tell me at least I wouldn't have given them my credit points." Ryan lamented by the side, as he remembered his credit points.
"Sorry man, if I had pulled you into this sort of shit you would have been a dead man," Bernard said in a joking manner as they continued running, making Ryan curse him and his ancestors under his breath.
While Ryan might have felt slightly regretful for losing all his allocated credit points like that, he was still full of smiles, especially how one of the boys had gotten a taste of his own medicine. With Bernard's leading figure at the front, he could almost see a bright halo covering his figure looking at him the look in his eyes were filled with nothing awe and admiration.
He couldn't help but compare himself with him, he knew if he was in Bernard's position he wouldn't have had the courage to even look at the horrifying eyes of the boys talk more of even courageously punch one of them. Compared to Bernard he saw himself as crap, even though Bernard wasn't that strong he had gotten to realize he wasn't someone that gives two craps about people even if they were much stronger.
As Bernard was running he felt a bit regretful since he wasn't able to complete the system quest, however, he couldn't help but open the system interface. However, to his greatest surprise, the quest wasn't marked as failed, even more pleasantly he discovered another thing the sun penalty was no longer active, aside from that the quest was also active as well.
Although he wasn't able to complete the quest it seemed like he could complete it anytime he wanted.
Bernard couldn't help smiled to himself, the gamble had truly paid off and most importantly he finally got to know who Dave was, at least with that all he had to do was look for the right opportunity when he wasn't being affected by the sun penalty and take the chance to snatch his walking treasure trove.
He wasn't just going to let the key to his leveling up, go just like that
