"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjiqfibcA3
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TmIdEUdTy
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2aAIiyo6u
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRR5ijxJti
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xntmyM5YD
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBQNIuTzHQ
Hours passed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYX12MpG4
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BZ36VyKVJ
Raven stepped out of his house,
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbekgdBHELP
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXQMq8H57G
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9MGYXDJt7
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagRTaT5UAO
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMHthOpaaa
He continued, "But... for a price."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0N3LHcqLJ
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQn0fAE05
"A quarter million Phonex."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49fyU0Liu
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSDzPBFDhw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nJUQBHsAC
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMuaJ83Vww
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g9D2iz4lR
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXj9kHaM68
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8nG8Gqe5o
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpH0ci9lT
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuAwehhm9E
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxZLPhR5Dn
But then...
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LhhFLmG2E
The ground trembled suddenly...!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGMAHfn7hG
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB7bGTf0WS
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmOaimquDP
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jAh7DlUAS
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PuYFh4XSE
On the other side of the courtyard...
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EjYjkfFKl
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNQ5Q9E0PX
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTTVsGGSOJ
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYimjL3NMe
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorIl4u3YIq
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5gW3OPgpq
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg7lKDPpZP
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54SaiXYQxD
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9SQ466bRH
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVNXhEv08j
And in that moment...
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zmYLD63TV
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRC3TptPaF
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47snt3EpWx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR0CbgS4Jt
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6hCVgYfUu
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ1Oscu65H
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpVUhIm5M
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnTFvKVWk
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!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZQz0Se4TC
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Nu8rBF1t
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?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSg45JexYe
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ073NjOXWTb
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.
