"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvLUn7BhEt
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp91KJOVRYc
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy2GBIJdf3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJGZZmqqpV
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRo7fnUx2X
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuSoow9pC
Hours passed.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zDP6rXpqN
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6cHZhyblS
Raven stepped out of his house,
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFDw4XrWF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXH9HMk5T
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGWa3RKDE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HxUIpimgz
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqxlXosdi
He continued, "But... for a price."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQYLPygKjz
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSLfiPxet
"A quarter million Phonex."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYvc7Ho7Tz
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51QH2jbEV
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwmJpby9TU
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK985owDx3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx4snKBX2a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnil0ohtTu
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUzFCrS1rI
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjQVdGnh6C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE0rh18rlF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4u2qXlmK8
But then...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOsbhxDJI
The ground trembled suddenly...!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmwmHrjmv7
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylEy17xBAx
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeGvueVYiM
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer3jHqoRwP
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrgIzkeOC
On the other side of the courtyard...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYOe87bCsq
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBxQo4VOlh
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ddU4T5Kz1
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwtCglwDOy
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTaX3znXOP
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUhLsygcA1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5NfTgSbhU
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AEyIGubEF
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60FrM2JmNW
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeosDGhJEVk
And in that moment...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe1Q3C8IAy
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrII5KmQv0
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vmz3gtRPC
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvJvdRbnJd
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyxPaoCKY0
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5p2YrUek
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3pAKZ0Vrw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1l2m9KJnx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsGGtawR7f
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FipHw1Xg2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbpMVBnMyq
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFtRCyvP4g
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.
