Sophia finally joining the fight

When Bernard heard what he said he didn't become angry nor did he respond instead he seemed like he was mulling over what he had just said, of course, he knew the second-year student would be very happy if he went ahead and pierce the rank 4 second-year student he had taken as hostage, besides that the invisible second year was confident he wouldn't be able to cause any significant harm to the rank 4 student.

Although he was sure the invisible second year would want nothing more if he killed the rank 4 student, he also knew it was likely he also wasn't placing his bet on that happening as well since he couldn't kill his hostage unless he wanted to give the second years a reason to take both him and Sophia out, the only thing left for him to do was to naturally release him.
