"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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkm5jPzHnB
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYhlyGws0
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMqCIxNN6n
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyridf86TR
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9M7RmPdS
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSODwGKCkm
Hours passed.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40i556Q8Ff
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ933JSM3sjo
Raven stepped out of his house,
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarsHJtukIR
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvj0jnWdRM
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGu5Xls07f
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCshx7e8ZO5
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCt3nJUdAy
He continued, "But... for a price."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsYYTXwv70
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwdTP1lhz
"A quarter million Phonex."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7sVYRhjED
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikECuonnLE
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMS8pnDsC
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQsFksDtAI
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ozCRnRV3U
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnYxsgAJpF
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AuaBJWZAj
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf0zKJhPDz
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyToNRDWB9o
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZbRJGwcVj
But then...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHpI1jq5el
The ground trembled suddenly...!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAwsuiDLm
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eTaOuKP5o
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHfARbOlRc
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycRmSThEzE
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43fxwNkAPY
On the other side of the courtyard...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wx2Ay3VNb
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTTRyVSjdc
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DwvfQ1GXk
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKOz1r6tN
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERLDDGN4Mj
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ27aKfbSo
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2MPNWTBk
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTA0HQyBDI
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJQtbskvT
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO19xmIhwgj
And in that moment...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmMVAvwFA
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYtTLDXUZp
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbWD86VO4i
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBEqsNTAs
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcuCGHtv0h
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQpFuv1DF
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOm8ng8JdZ
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ603ihUaY4u
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!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks532NySte
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."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1COwO1auBi
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?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ig08dTvZ6
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyZMVVo2m
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.
