"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvnfg4uwMt
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91JdW3oGy3
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwCPhsAQ9h
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrk0c4ZDyM
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA9uqGMb0e
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzjMWZlZG
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrs36oQneT
Hours passed.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCNHreDya
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpEM9gr7hy
Raven stepped out of his house,
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP1d6ZdrLk
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTniPSz3QL
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoZsZIbOgA
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDEnXXTGE
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0WTtUVkL0
He continued, "But... for a price."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXfgSc93RE
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeQP4zOdF6
"A quarter million Phonex."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO5n53vo5P
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXIrQyD0O
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4kU8wmjp1
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGNRjbuZgx
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjNQ1sEaK
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ynp5VqUW5
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yt1nzsOGH
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv9hGDMDX0
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVXAYHF2oS
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O074QjDpv
But then...
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fPMhablYg
The ground trembled suddenly...!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLMwqiSbjP
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOkUJA38Yy
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hVEdJsId6
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK80qiMPa1
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkU0UHiuN
On the other side of the courtyard...
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KhjgwFD7S
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2WULFkTRI
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw25X92l7gF
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzlhEr070b
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQv9XOggYT
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykhowapIu3
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp30Gw9Xtg
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4zgpkepzU
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbQNnig5Cx
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfmRDiBK7
And in that moment...
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea7Two7qU0
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzOtFRDXHN
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZQXeCOFSY
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoHJFMxVHp
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH8eqSChoE
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZG1LEkIKg
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.
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiQ7GOj7n0
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkomFzxU0gE
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!"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVn84EFdN
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."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcVKSDFbkJ
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?!"
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAivd3rs6ec
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJe17BbSVY
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.
