"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMARqDPCtCL
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFPC5mPt5e
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy4dVobSKz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q5OUpxdQb
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbYyR1peWb
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWVHGm44G9
Hours passed.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ685UTR8m2O
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63US5Cul8V
Raven stepped out of his house,
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIVE0NMQEx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB1DwOuB1h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz8gwP6lK1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQQS32fC6
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXBY9JtuL
He continued, "But... for a price."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwAh0Ej6L2
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAVCQKiPG6
"A quarter million Phonex."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIonr4726r
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyYm1kt00
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlcCteX9El
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVf7RjNiIc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesJEOMaFX7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5x9DdQHqT
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4XXSt7XWb
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsItjPbo6h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrIWdXbwec
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l4INLfbX6
But then...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHVt3G6UBC
The ground trembled suddenly...!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVrc5FyiiT
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2YjmHuSX
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QigwMOFn6
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpxDN2gbEr
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeSPKkVTjJ
On the other side of the courtyard...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTkFoGLeYa
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneMHVG7YGS
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgCUYi3Dft
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hPzfXwyMT
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2XCto3pNj
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4raU7tVsr
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5DowDsnsG
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGA2kcM9x
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpxBlsXbhK
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRZFB4PBFN
And in that moment...
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwufQIInsY
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ZcB1eLrB
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyDAFaZ7Tg
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e55ovj9lO
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5kHmaJmSl
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7JoP8WhgD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4AEj0zY1r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJWlOBe967
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfiUyUQa5w
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPl6rlPVNK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8aCZO8J8
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu0JiivE6X
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.
