Small upgrade system

Sam sighed in relief when he saw the plant was ok. He carefully picked up the plant and put it in his inventory. Now it was time to go back.

He went back towards the cave. A few minutes later, he finally reaches the cave. He saw all of them were clearing the dead bodies of the monsters.

"So, they already killed all the monsters? Well nice," he thought while walking in the cave.

"Sam, here!!" Jeni called to him while waving her hand after she found him.

"Done with your work?" She asked him. These few days, Sam continuously goes somewhere for some time. She didn't question him about this. Because everyone has their own secret.

"Yes," Sam said smilingly. It thrilled him that he found a rare plant.

"Well, let's go. We found a secret in this cave," she whispered to him. She doesn't want anyone to hear them.

Sam didn't talk any nonsense and nodded. He silently walked with her. They went together to a corner where he also saw Elena, Tony, Kenny, Tina and also 3 more students. Other than them, all the warriors are busy clearing the dead bodies.

Sam walked toward them and stood there. He needs to know what happened here. Why do all of them have serious faces?

She looked towards them. He also wants to know what happened here.

"Sam, some time ago when we were already killing all the monsters and then clearing the dead bodies of the monsters. These three warriors found a strange pattern here," Jeni said to him while pointing her finger toward a strange pattern.

" At first, we thought some other students made it. But then we noticed a strange thing: the pattern was made of blood. Because of this, we were here. We didn't tell the other about this. Only 9 people know about this. Sam, I think it is related to the dark association. What do you think?" Jeni said to him.

Sam crouches down and looks at the patterns carefully. He wasn't an expert in the pattern, but previously because of the weird pattern he found in the dungeon; he did some research on the patterns.

"By looking at the pattern, I can tell it was a summoning pattern. We can summon monsters that usually summoners use. But I don't think any of these summoners use blood to summon the monsters. Also, just looking at the pattern, you can tell not that old. That means it was made recently. The summoner I think escaped from here when he saw we were coming toward this cave. Look here, you can see drops of blood that were fresh. I think he was planning to make one pattern. I don't know which monsters will come out from this summoning pattern, but I can tell you it won't be a good monster," Sam said to everyone. One thing he didn't tell everyone was that whoever made this pattern already used it. He can see a light spiritual aura coming from the pattern. If he didn't focus on the pattern, then he won't be able to see this. This aura can fade anytime. It means it has been 12 hours since the pattern was used.

"Also, everyone looks here carefully. If you carefully look at the pattern, then you will find five small patterns in this big pattern. It crashed into five circuit patterns. I can tell you only one thing: whoever made this pattern has to be at least in B-grade or even in A-grade. This five-circuit pattern needs a large amount of spiritual energy to activate. Only B-grade or above warriors can activate it," Sam told them.

Hearing Sam's explanation, everyone becomes surprised. They didn't think that he would be able to talk about the pattern. Also, hearing Sam's explanation, they were thinking about the danger.

'Who are the warriors who made this pattern? Why the hell does someone like him in the forest? Why the hell did nobody from the warriors association come here?' This type of question now they were thinking. If the person still were in the cave, then it could be dangerous for them. Fortunately, that person had already left the cave.

"Jeni, Tina, and Kenny quickly check the surroundings and search for the camera bots. Previously, the head examiner told us that in this forest, they install many camera bots to monitor us. So, it means someone also installed them here. Search for it." while the others were busy in their own thinking, Sam suddenly told the girls.

Also, wasting no time, the girls and the others also went to search for the camera bots. They don't know why suddenly asked them to search for it but they didn't question him.

A few minutes later, they all returned with 5 broken camera bots. Which instantly made Sam's expression pale. Seeing him like this, the girls came to him. They were asking him what happened, but Sam didn't hear any of the questions, because he was busy calculating something.

He told the girls that he was okay. After calming down himself, he told them about his prediction.

"So, listen here. I think we are in a dangerous situation. Now, as you can see, those broken camera bots. Which means someone could break them, but the warrior association didn't notice it. I don't think they will ignore something like this. I also think that it was the warriors from the dark association who are the culprit that controlled the students' minds with their mind control technique," Sam told them about his prediction, which shocked them. Finally, they are able to understand why Sam told them to search for the camera bots. It is also now clear to them how dangerous the situation was.

"It's okay. Fortunately, we weren't that late. Don't forget, we also have invisible camera bots that were following us from the start. I think the warriors association is already aware of this. They will send someone. Also, don't forget we can contact the association. So, stop panicking, you three. Calm down, yourself," seeing the three warriors panicking, Sam told them. In this situation, all of them need to stay calm. Panicking won't help them. He quickly tapped the red button on the watch given to them by the association. On this watch, they have two buttons, Red and Blue. The blue button was to show their status, and the Red meant they were in a dangerous situation and needed to contact the warrior association.

In the association,

Sam and the other students were unaware that the warrior association had already sent their warriors toward the cave. As Sam previously predicted, when Sam and the others came to the cave, the warrior associations became aware of the strange pattern, also with no delay. Alena, Maria, and 3 more A-grade warriors went towards the forest. They were traveling quickly toward the cave. Their destination was the cave.

Markus, Vena, and the others' moods were now terrible. They never expect under their watch that someone will have the courage to do something like this. It was an insult to them. Also, looking at the pattern, they can guess which monsters are coming from that pattern. They didn't need to be present in the cave to see the spiritual aura that came out of the pattern. They can watch it from here.

"The weird monsters that attacked Tony's group most likely were summoned monsters. Because of this, we didn't have any information about these monsters," Markus said to them.

"Also, grandpa, don't forget about the blood. I think it was a dark summoning technique," Mira said to him. The dark summoner who uses the forbidden dark technique to summon monsters used dark summoning. Compared to normal summoning, you needed blood to create the pattern and also whose blood also will be in danger. After it summons the monsters, it will go toward the person to eat his life force at any cost. Because of this, the warrior's association forbids it.

"We didn't know about his blood, but we guess the warriors most likely use Tony's blood. Because of this, monsters attacked him. Fortunately, our warriors could stop the monsters. Also, as you can see, the fresh blood drops. So, like Sam said, most likely that the dark association warrior once again tried to create a pattern to summon more monsters. Also, most likely the blood was from the students. We need to ensure our student's safety." Markus said with a dark expression.

If the dark summoning monsters didn't eat the life force of the sacrifice whose blood was used to make the pattern, then the blood from the monster's body will evaporate. It is also one reason Markus thinks that the dark association warrior used Tony's blood to summon the monsters.

"Guys, if what I was thinking was true, then those students' lives were in grave danger," he said to them.
