"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.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUnUOsRIfO
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRdjIgbJuI
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYR42xPBc
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbUp9hqBX
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ122e2bgGyt
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy1lxXnPWK
Hours passed.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnGiu8ZOTF
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5HFf5UXa
Raven stepped out of his house,
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8pACMAKno
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.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KGqNDtVGd
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLHsudfmS
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.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUxrp8AjoD
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmxamu12K
He continued, "But... for a price."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK9eVOnxsC
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrb9O0KGI
"A quarter million Phonex."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI0guSYn5A
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDKgpcS9ki
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xHEKnO7zL
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W5ngF7QqI
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.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoV6zyPWDG
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMrKjY5oj
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQpP2cAhTm
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8UAFfyKa
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlQWeVtwzd
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupRYI8VZqd
But then...
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTD1Oka5O9
The ground trembled suddenly...!
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbm6LdmplF
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJris4m7oS
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW3f6Fuwai
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDxi3KXEVN
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2r0kl8Ajv
On the other side of the courtyard...
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9WlKUKPsL
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWwKAsRWFt
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f1fPHNA97
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5iubosKl
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWSnOWbOsj
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZTdagsZc
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kg65RLuqM
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwFKAq7Q3a
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGSB2eY3V4
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbRkHO5jOd
And in that moment...
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvNGLs6mwj
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGQOB3KT4
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT325hb5Ae
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iuce8tsCS
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEV99qO8W1
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9U59ZKfkw
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.
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpuyDvjpVN
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxwbo7opi
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!"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1mwRfk9j
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."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkYQ1dsde0
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?!"
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFdqcEsOyN
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ST11dVgZS
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.
