"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.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNxHsiz0t
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWlJ64kX5D
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3wGY2woU
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbfOJIuLcA
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz7He3Ibu3
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJyn1FKgBu
Hours passed.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4VGg20RBs
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTYOMThntX
Raven stepped out of his house,
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgU3gVFwVq
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.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuePWW9QsnA
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzbsZTf2ZG
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.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsjXE020p6
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0QvhsMyzV
He continued, "But... for a price."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YG7iDeqMj
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHVmESQgI
"A quarter million Phonex."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7A1qmmc1m
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nO1Zg7Icl
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoVvcEsKnQ
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyhsfaU8s9
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.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC23TznsOPP
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yc1GcoTHu
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOWU01MzFc
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDbevZa2Nz
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFaDyuuqY
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlC0hIS1dG
But then...
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lcAPsgdzv
The ground trembled suddenly...!
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAJgxiyOG
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHKTK43Nwt
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyE8GrIDXJ
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRf6XzqNRI
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k9lJtFICc
On the other side of the courtyard...
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgiDcIk9ao
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrwKBen5ym
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqKMSLAe7U
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmzJmllnSU
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOA35TLw14
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjOgIEEvuO
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7rqcKRWy4
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbN0zUqjy4
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGCB99rqI5
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbsuaqKWCm
And in that moment...
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9gXYCJlIA
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQB4ENJan
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8xvBLomvO
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh8E9cpHMB
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDDBmvWJoB
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCXXBaVNFO
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.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kDZyadNgn
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeydiaZIVgU
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!"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ogRYl711X
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."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne53nsJc9a
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?!"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ISJCccC26
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkvKK2BaY
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.
