"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2NkAKD8Oy
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWneKtCkfgH
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lLqnPLuEP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMTtlGSvQx
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidMninjEU
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdypt7npovC
Hours passed.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTtuNePEQ
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFTneJUP4r
Raven stepped out of his house,
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNU4wCIclO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztI0VE5djC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeWnHwyx7h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswQb9ZKjo7
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pCldcFfjZ
He continued, "But... for a price."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeCvEUlmOC
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIIirDyPyc
"A quarter million Phonex."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOFbxPuSg3
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGbgLcLOY0
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1waFvWBOxN
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPcM1gdw4I
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJFyq0L0e9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn15FBzEdA3
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l4PFwSxmz
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HTpBP00j5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8P6ufF8Cl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xP51i9Bta
But then...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeagROjdum
The ground trembled suddenly...!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXOONMMTM
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kNX1irQS
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnjTaFZ9DL
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocyVoqQF0a
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP000CudLx4
On the other side of the courtyard...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok939A0bGZ
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT2JmVtnxf
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHkPMIhGex
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYDhGgpZqK
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIZBvtCIIr
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHWHdc7iL9
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8myS2DZDF
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6W8lwMo9k
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMblkd1pzWL
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmW0LdcWZ
And in that moment...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUZ0RhmoH
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYb8bB4fkf
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve24GJgoLV
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOrdKRp0cZ
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRBAyxekaZ
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjxaEM3W56
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi38GNcCZE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALwaDU3euI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRAql33PH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19m5jcBqcv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hJPKX05Lk
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5lExXFY6I
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.
