"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPqYkiSpsN
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFlP6gTLe
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThxabmfTOY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYtLYySnE
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKd7HyrSi
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELbWohhOgl
Hours passed.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddmFXh5gz6
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6k8SUOxr5
Raven stepped out of his house,
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn5ezbnHhr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3n4qE2wqZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeOQyz5soK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0O5RZux97
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb071xWR8n5
He continued, "But... for a price."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDt504gkU4
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk3MawbrOg
"A quarter million Phonex."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdF78lDs2S
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kjAVOQdYF
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO9UyNooVl
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvV06NkkXy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9xbCmcgDO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS5o7htc45
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP4G4qoJzj
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN0Ezff5C1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ovkVGhiF6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6evbQXVAu
But then...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsSZffDsp3
The ground trembled suddenly...!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJvuiCX51
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkRPbBrIRE
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQBL4brfgs
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVNIVr3Yp
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKuXCl5oJS
On the other side of the courtyard...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX42oZqZkBF
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwkWNuBE39
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0CHqxHyZ
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToy10egvH1
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7eX56D1Rf
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqs0vd3UO
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwpeNoq0uC
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfKF9PuG4I
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8wVBTdIk8
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwn0IUXl5G
And in that moment...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObFEes34zC
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQKNHq3xXZ
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAdQhtyWHh
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xjwPCGz3
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AlavyAJrG
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgRZOxU9R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6G3z1xugb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1934H0Qer
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4DtpbGiuN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAtEbqZcN3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHNueoA1Go
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWcZVozztq
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.
