"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.

Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFM6Drrp5w
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH41Lhcr3fj
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYduu26Wuc
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhF31hCIU
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXaBYp2kld
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOWeNMkIpg
Hours passed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAc50oRrK
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8t6abLIb1
Raven stepped out of his house,
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwFfmvEEIj
Ryo knew the identity of the masked man.
The next day, Ryo headed to work. he worked directly with the most powerful royal families. Not because he was loyal to them, but simply because his strength made him a valuable asset.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kz3gdBSJD
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVVDLPVjdW
That morning, Ryo received a new order from House Valderin, one of the most influential royal families, to supervise the delivery of a critical shipment and ensure its safe arrival.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLJUphHX2J
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRLudWThdY
He continued, "But... for a price."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70XWjWd1Wz
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvd3GDxWxl
"A quarter million Phonex."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4DvyyRy8
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJn1sKDd1
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUrQxb9c5
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwOaecyrt
Ryo: " I'll continue working with you... Let's leave this matter for another time."

The Grand Celebration... and the Arrival of Terror
That day, a grand celebration was held in the academy’s central courtyard. Students, professors, and high-ranking officials from all across the nation had gathered.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOcCEGrC2p
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcR5fDcTDc
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS0IHfQ6QE
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonn6v3zyfI
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrE6aJ9k1C
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tNPTGl9QI
But then...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTjmxBdmEO
The ground trembled suddenly...!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsazEJkdqGy
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8gAF8wjo1
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDzZNyJ7S
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoBNCJf73V
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9O1IUME9
On the other side of the courtyard...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsnkmjTFe
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJvsfJgMO
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo4OjEx5v5
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt7OCLQHuu
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJLfKPFoJO
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0tOIdgvds
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1CaWBfpkN
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUAxDffTxf
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCWwTJ1Ejl
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbulSiH1GOk
And in that moment...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFanN6lYu
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHnlAZqybk
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ408kEACIO7
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj3szT4jr1
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDtlZFI85i
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8EnUxOFzl
His eyes gleamed with a mysterious power, and his deep voice carried an undertone of menace. As he spoke, his aura continued to radiate, pressing down on everyone like an invisible force.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8UqJa4Is
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAppSq7RpX
Lord Evren stood frozen, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His voice trembled as he responded:
"We didn't know it was yours! We will compensate you with whatever you want, just let’s resolve this peacefully!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmb74demTw
Zairos glanced at him with sheer disdain :
"The compensation must be fitting… It should cover the lost profits from your interference, along with an additional sum as an apology. Let’s say… 800 million Phonex."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYu2Tw0pg
Lord Evren’s eyes widened in shock. He clutched his head, unable to comprehend the absurd amount. His voice broke as he muttered:
"800 million?! How… and why such a sum?!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet5mLsZF0M
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5Cp2n0Fg
Without giving them a chance to argue, he vanished in an instant, leaving behind an oppressive silence and the lingering fear of what Arcadia was truly capable of.
