"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.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rFhgJrfCV
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe95weF0rC6
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFmfbBVjq
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDOhrQbZHq
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm8EMKTCiU
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhnIlmJoFp
Hours passed.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dalFgMKgT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYPploBRgo
Raven stepped out of his house,
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPV6FO3rwm
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.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCGZRGmOx
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkTOKrupUP
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.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifQdgwnNyx
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlRmWPDuv
He continued, "But... for a price."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUdIyYATls
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1calnsuL2V
"A quarter million Phonex."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwwzyEn2lm
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboODxNE7R0
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0v6JK96cC
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNHKJm0S70
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.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYO9t54vLy
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KV1WSVYrA
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NpyGVxr4P
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvsIroObR
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0xRAXrl7
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnLjSEzZTv
But then...
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmAmgUBRNu
The ground trembled suddenly...!
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXhDtIpMFY
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDEDafQwjk
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5f2fAxKYm
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsPSjgMbPN
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZMlbVFjxq
On the other side of the courtyard...
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6rLvUvNTS
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZerKMpOZF5
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuG2g8iAbl
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2chlE5Wn5
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOXjsnbAUC
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXzi8VJsBS
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QgyHOcPFq
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhEILT6wRd
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpeapJsaC0
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97twhgSMHd
And in that moment...
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbqAkMLSwW
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTPrf3qwx
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUiW9yORHh
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ84cJ26EQn
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeufF1w8enq
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIHu9UMxvg
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.
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWrt4KGcPW
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2IgTkYnYV
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!"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3DPOoVpz
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."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHESXVBnNis
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?!"
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8umR6UxDI
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoXfOGyYV4
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.
