I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System

Draco's team was getting close to the center of the forest, and the heat in the surroundings was increasing.

It could be said that Draco had entered Level 9, while the others were still at Level 6 or 7. As for Blum, his case was unique, as he had a five-times multiplier to his EXP, making him close to Level 11.

Reaching the center of the forest, they saw a volcano showing no signs of eruption, along with multiple groups of students who cautiously moved and watched the volcano.

This was a Level 15 Volkoid, and with their current levels, rushing in for a kill would mean death—except for Blum, whose stats were overpowered. Draco might also be able to put up a fight against it.

"You guys are in for trouble," Thundero laughed.

"What do you mean? Explain yourself," Blum asked in puzzlement, looking at his surroundings cautiously.

"You'll find out yourself; don't expect me to spill the beans every time," Thundero's small figure snorted, making Blum feel vexed.

"Then what's your use?" Blum felt like saying this but kept his mouth shut. Provoking this guy was not a good idea.

Thundero, seeing Blum's vexed expression, shook his head. Blum didn't realize the importance of the Thunder System, especially its five-times effect, which made him a bit OP.

"I wonder when the rest will awaken. The calamity is drawing nearer," Thundero fell into thought, sighing as he watched Blum. "I hope they are able to eliminate the calamity once and for all."

"You guys have to be careful; I can feel the aura of two beasts, both at Level 15," Thundero gave a hint of information, then disappeared from Blum's view.

"I'm also going into a deep sleep. So you're on your own." His voice echoed in Blum's mind, but when Blum called for him, he received no reply.

As this happened, four concealed figures appeared above, watching the students scattered around the volcano.

"Has Rasradth gone to commence the plan?" the figure at the front of the group asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the Volkoid should generate enough disturbance for us to proceed without revealing our identity."

"Then that's good. We will move at night," the front figure said, watching as the sun went down.

Ivy, Alya, Darvis, and Williams had successfully breached the barrier, but it turned out there was another barrier created by the assailant, forcing them to stop.

After checking the time it would take to breach the second barrier, they realized it would take up to 12 hours, which made them angry and helpless. In that 12 hours, the forest could turn into a graveyard for the students.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Returning to the bus, they asked if there were any faster ways of breaching it. Alas, the methods available to the others would take even longer, leaving them even more helpless.

"We have a way to check the situation inside for a few seconds," the technician in charge said.

"Then why didn't you say so? Are you sure you know how to do your job?" Ivy shouted, her voice filled with impatience as ice began to spread from her body.

Her beloved darling was in that dangerous place. If she hadn't been on a mission and known more about the expedition, she would have put multiple protections on him or tried to stop those old geezers from sending him.

"We just found out when you breached the barrier," the technician replied, feeling embarrassed and rubbing his nose.

Finally, they were able to check on the students' welfare. Nothing had happened to them; everyone was maintaining their business, setting up tents not too far from the volcano.

None of the students were able to withstand the high temperatures of the lava and volcano, so it was better to wait for the Volkoid to come down itself. Ivy also saw Draco walking around the volcano, which helped her calm down.

They all felt relieved to see that the students were still safe, and the eliminated ones had already been brought outside. However, they still wondered why the assailant hadn't made any move yet. Also, the status of the other teachers was unknown, whether they were dead or alive.

"We need a method to breach the barrier in the next two hours," Williams mused.

"We have a method, but it will require the help of all four of you to succeed," the technician said, making their eyes light up as they looked at him, eager for him to explain.

7:50 PM, Inside Drymin Forest

Draco walked around the volcano, looking for Blum and the others, wondering where they had gone. He had only excused himself to go relieve himself, only to come back to an empty tent.

Where the hell are they? Did something bad happen to them? Draco thought, heading back to the tent since he couldn't find them near the volcano.

Entering his tent with thoughts on his mind,

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY!**

The shout startled Draco, who saw his friends holding a cake with a lit candle in the center.

"You guys remembered?" Draco felt touched, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Only a crybaby cries," Blum teased, making Draco and the others laugh. Draco felt at peace with them, his heart relaxing.

"Make a wish," Rose said eagerly, putting the cake in front of him. Draco took a deep breath, blew out the candle, and made his wish.

"What did you wish for?" Blum looked Draco in the eye, eager to find out.

"It's a secret," Draco chuckled. His wish was simple—that this friendship would last forever, their bond unbreakable.

During middle school, even though they were friends, he hadn't been open with them because of insecurity. But here he was, laughing with a heartfelt feeling, no regrets in his mind.

Today was a great day for him. It was his birthday, his one-month anniversary with Rose, and it marked the 10th year since he met Bubble. Thinking of Bubble, he felt homesick, wondering how that Volkoid snake was doing.

Draco hoped this bond would last forever!

**ROAR!**

The dragon-like sound disturbed their happy moment as they rushed out to see what was happening.

They were met with the sight of a flaming Tyrannosaurus Rex, roaring with anger.

"It looks like the BOSS is out," Blum chuckled, as everyone prepared for combat. It was going to be a hellish ride for the Volkoid.

**BOOM! BOOM!**

The sounds of battle echoed, everyone attacking with their abilities.

It is said one ant can't bring down an elephant, but ten thousand could devour one.

The flaming T-Rex roared in anger, and everyone felt discomfort from the pressure emitted by the Volkoid. The system notified them that their strength had fallen by 1%.

Blum used his appraisal skill, discovering that the T-Rex was a descendant of the dragon Volkoid family, able to access part of the dragon's innate skills. Its rank was almost at Platinum, and its defense and attack were high.

But this didn't stop the greedy students from fighting—it only made them more determined. A prize was before them, and they wanted a piece of it or to take it all.

Even though the T-Rex's attack power was high, it couldn't withstand the students' relentless assault, its body bleeding and nearing death's door.

Seeing this, the students fought harder, but the T-Rex refused to give up, spitting out a breath of flame. The sudden attack shocked them, but a red-haired dude—an A-Rank Fire Elementalist—saved them, though he sustained some injuries.

Blum, who knew the Volkoid still had this skill, struck as it exhaled, taking it down with his sword. The T-Rex took its last breath, letting out a mournful roar, indignant at dying at the hands of these "ants."

Everyone cheered, having contributed to defeating the Volkoid. As for Blum:

"Nice one, Blum!" Draco and the rest cheered him on.

**CHIRP! CHIRP!**

The shockwave from a bird's cry sent them flying, most of them coughing up blood, expressions pale as they saw the volcano erupting.

A large, flaming red bird flew out, its cry causing trees around it to be uprooted. The students used their skill, "Scan," and what they saw was:

"Level 20 Fire Cloud Bird Volkoid"

**A HIDDEN BOSS!**

"Run!" No one knew who shouted it, but everyone scattered, running for their lives, pressing the red button to signal the teachers—but...

"F*ck this academy," some of them began cursing, angered that such a Volkoid had appeared. This was instant death.

Draco grabbed Rose, who was beside him, and ran toward the edge of the forest.

"Little boy! Where are you running? We have some questions for you." Five concealed figures appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

Draco didn't believe the sweet lie, keeping his guard up. He wondered who he had offended to warrant such dangerous people after him. "Who are you guys?"

"No need to know," one of them scoffed, making Draco's face pale. He knew he might not be able to escape with Rose. If he were alone, he would surrender and plead for them to let her go.

As he thought this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. Turning around in shock, he saw Rose with a demonic smile.

"Why?" Draco wanted to say but lost consciousness.

The five concealed figures were surprised, sizing up Rose, who had betrayed her lover.

"You fools, get out of here. I can sense four auras stronger than you approaching," a familiar voice commanded, calming the five figures.

They bowed, picked up the unconscious Draco, and left.
