I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System

"I never expected to reveal my full strength this quickly," her opponent said with a grin, gazing at Adrianna. He could sense a surging energy hidden beneath her calm exterior.

Adrianna looked at her opponent in dismay, instinctively distancing herself from him because of the heat. The burly man moved like a man made of fire, attacking Adrianna, who dodged the attack with precision.

The burly man noticed this and changed his stance. "Fire Cloud Sword," he announced. His entire body became enveloped in flames, transforming into a shining, flaming sword. The sword moved at extreme speed, and although Adrianna tried her best to evade, it still managed to sever one of her arms. The flaming sword then transformed back into the burly man.

The crowd shook their heads at the sight. They could see that Adrianna's right arm had been cut into pieces and burned by the flaming sword.

This was the terror of the Warrior Class. Unlike mages, who cast spells, warriors used their bodies as weapons, making them exceptional in close combat. But one critical aspect of the Warrior Class was that their battles often ended in either victory or defeat — it was rare to see them retreat. Since warriors used their bodies to fight, enemies often took countermeasures to prevent their escape.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Stop pretending and unleash your strength," the burly man called out. The crowd was confused by his words. What did he mean?

Adrianna chuckled. It seemed she had no choice but to comply. Her silver eyes and hair turned a golden-red color, shocking the crowd.

But that wasn't all. Her severed right arm began to regenerate. Everyone watched in stunned silence, their faces filled with disbelief.

Only Draco, Rose, and those who had witnessed her battle with Draco smiled knowingly. Even Ivy, Williams, and Darvis, who had initially been watching her with curiosity, were visibly shocked by the sight.

The burly man, who witnessed Adrianna's transformation, felt an oppressive force pressing down on him. His strength was reduced by 20%, leaving him visibly shaken.

"I hope you don't die too quickly," Adrianna said with a light chuckle, her tone laced with confidence. The burly man frowned.

"Also, I hate the sight of your flames. You'd better put them out quickly," she added.

She moved with lightning speed, throwing a punch at her opponent. He met it with a punch of his own. Adrianna took two steps back, but the burly man staggered twelve steps back.

This outcome shocked the crowd, making them wonder just how much Adrianna's strength had increased.

"Again," Adrianna said as she dashed forward, launching another punch. The two continued to exchange blows, their movements so fast that only flashes of their figures could be seen.

"It looks like she has an outlander bloodline," the Vice Chancellor remarked. There were certain secrets known only to a few, so Adrianna's transformation didn't shock them as much as it did the rest of the crowd. They knew it was related to her bloodline.

"But I've never heard of one like hers," Serpit replied.

The elders nodded in agreement. It was true — they knew all the known bloodline descendants like the back of their hands, but Adrianna's bloodline was unfamiliar.

"Regardless, she's on our side, not our enemy," Old Yamato said firmly.

"I think we should stop the competition once the Top 10 are chosen," Dr. Shaw suggested.

"Why do you say that?" the elders asked, curious about his reasoning.

"All these participants have hidden powers. If we force them to continue fighting each other, they might be compelled to reveal their trump cards, which wouldn't be beneficial for us. There are academic spies..." Dr. Shaw trailed off, letting his words sink in.

Even though Dr. Shaw didn't finish his statement, the elders understood his point. Since they only needed 10 students to represent them in the Academy Contest, it would be wiser to preserve their hidden strengths until the contest itself, instead of revealing them prematurely.

The elders all nodded in agreement. The Vice Chancellor called for someone to deliver the message to Red.

The match continued, with Adrianna clearly suppressing her opponent. The burly man was struggling to keep up, finding it hard to fight back.

The crowd watched in awe at Adrianna's brutal fighting style. Her fists were her weapons. Even when the burly man managed to destroy them, Adrianna would regenerate them as if nothing had happened.

The burly man, unlike Adrianna, didn't have the luxury of regeneration. This forced him to fight cautiously, constantly trying to avoid serious injuries. This caution was the very reason he was being suppressed.

Draco watched the match with a chuckle. He already knew Adrianna would win, so he didn't bother to watch the entire battle. Instead, he focused on checking his status.

No matter how he looked at the EXP required to level up, he felt helpless. He didn't even dare ask the system how many levels there were, because he feared his head might burst from thinking about the sheer amount. He wondered if others were sharing the same pain as him.

He took his mind off it. This is a matter for the future — this is the present. He continued watching Adrianna's match.

Adrianna had her opponent firmly suppressed. It was as if they were both preparing for a final, decisive attack.

"Eat this: Fire Sword Seal!" the burly man roared. His body transformed into a large seal resembling a sword, and the sand around him began to burn from the intense heat.

Draco looked at the burly man in surprise. This move is on par with using intent. If intent were added, how strong would it be?

Adrianna watched her opponent carefully. If it were any other elemental warrior, it might not have been the same. Despite his strength being suppressed by 20%, this attack was still incredibly powerful.

She fell into thought before her face turned determined. She moved swiftly, cutting her finger to draw blood. The blood oozed out secretly as she formed an arrow, preparing to meet the seal head-on.

She charged forward, manipulating her blood to form a golden-red armor around her body. She resembled an indomitable war god, standing alone to stop an oncoming disaster.

The two opponents finally clashed, resulting in a massive explosion. The crowd's hearts pounded with tension as their view was blocked by the aftermath of the blast.

When the dust finally cleared, the burly man was on one knee, panting heavily. Adrianna was also kneeling, but her wounds were horrifying.

Part of her head was missing, and a huge hole gaped in her stomach. The crowd was stunned by her resilience. How had she not given up? How was she still alive? Did she not feel pain?

Even the burly man gave her a strange look. "Why don't you give up?" he asked. But he still kept his guard up. There must be a reason she hasn't surrendered, he thought warily.

Suddenly, Adrianna smiled. Multiple blood arrows materialized and shot toward the burly man. He quickly used his power to burn them, incinerating them with his flames.

However, the blood arrows exploded without warning, catching the burly man off guard. He hastily took countermeasures to defend himself, bracing for impact.

The crowd was still reeling from Adrianna's unexpected attack. But then, her body collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Maybe that was her last attack," they all thought when they saw her faint, plummeting smile, as if she had accepted defeat. Even the burly man believed the same, seeing her lifeless pool of blood.

But moments later, confusion spread through the crowd. Why hasn't she reappeared in the arena? they wondered.

They looked back at the screen, and shock and horror swept through their faces...
