"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj963kq39vb
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMe0l0DD5m
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5Mb3Kl0p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnibliuHczO
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN2YA3LvnO
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVNCLd3SIr
Hours passed.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0XWp6BBUR
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9TEI4qsrR
Raven stepped out of his house,
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhToRKn5ThJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMFQYfzUX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSttR9VKuM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkou0Yp2vo
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQbzUpyU8D
He continued, "But... for a price."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awzXBkXVN
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBspdMTQ3G
"A quarter million Phonex."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjLIBdNIyg
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcbOBQ1zT
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgv7KsfXXW
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD2pz7yxdq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4KEBIDyv7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOBLgujXB
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZJe2D640M
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPNqLYNY3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9WEfpgzmV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPBVBnEfk
But then...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡact9ApgqkI
The ground trembled suddenly...!
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps9Txmp3xx
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gcapKhNIV
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jS3hgegF5
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWMYVXDX8
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQVh2pZjvr
On the other side of the courtyard...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4iXQIsvsB
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2p0fuRa2u
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdbGfibBG
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2WmBaGRwd
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDM3uLwZqy
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r6eInvlBa
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob76vWwk58
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8CkX2WlA3
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpMX3ncmuC
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBPnOGiKFo
And in that moment...
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt47BC3dbX
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFb15lnKDr
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hZZff8Nq
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlokhGbJQ52
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSPfBJqmQl
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CWVE3pTaP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtZ0PKOP3v
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1iX0gYmLq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1R7bEZ2tZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcLeH9AY9O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugMOf5pkE
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEYZCz4RxY
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.
