"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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakbSbTayHX
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3XvNFQvq7
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBdlQwfKq8
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWcOltI3WS
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKbZ6GuiNh
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEVodZp0o1
Hours passed.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOLwsUHHbh
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgNw5I43U
Raven stepped out of his house,
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQkeY6cXg
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YAb44zJSF
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3mFrnGc5B
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjnCaU3aL
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ke9kIhnkS
He continued, "But... for a price."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWQJR4J7tN
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5doze6ETOv
"A quarter million Phonex."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGMOVNquS0
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK5cwHtiGx
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0Xpy0dQl
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPWpLDeeJc
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAihg68RIqx
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTUrv76cE
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQaiUZCoos
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3VnPVUvw
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7oHiLgWDR
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjb1VdGg9I
But then...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLASQBuEkyO
The ground trembled suddenly...!
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhu1aPMU2D
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0YQnlKwQ
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzW1BmfqIP
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBRlfLNyoE
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJqe8k2z7U
On the other side of the courtyard...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hc1qeiRw0
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0JIpvx7eW
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GE7mugIzF
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEmDToLNKp
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bdRH70XyP
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG47kmEa7J
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUsfGKrYy
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgumWxdFP85
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt9t953BWe
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHwab5gzwT
And in that moment...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP6NnPSPUf
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzR6L7ia3E
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxmiN7kshQ
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeCeVRKmFw
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldzNYE0EEv
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVcOfcYfR0
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.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3avyfmzs
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYxJWemQtm
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!"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWKFSelwFK
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."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnW3TEdDUa
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?!"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQydGBXVwU
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJ6upJ4Cx
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.
