A trap

Sophia looked at Bernard it wasn't that she didn't want him to follow her, she was just afraid it might be a trap although she knew he was strong even stronger than what others might think, but then she didn't want anything to harm her, if it anything she would prefer for him to stay out of it especially since she knew everything was caused by her, although she had no idea what deal Ryan might have done with the second years, nevertheless, the second years might have used her as an excuse.

Another reason was that with Bernard around, she would be afraid to go all out not only because he could be used to restrain her but because so far even though she was sure he was strong he didn't seem like the person who would want to go all out and reveal his true strength, it was like there was something restraining him, it could be the amount of energy it cost or his aboriginals parents, it was likely that even if his life was in danger he wouldn't still want to reveal his abilities.
