"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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK6j2J9Dcx
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykZTknolNZ
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9NhwLiqq2
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4C3KwTlkF
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvKKkZ7Ro
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4oJVj1jHO
Hours passed.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZnFIkehgw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgs8dDAtH
Raven stepped out of his house,
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42bCvLIdHA
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5b93kSZwh
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd93do5gjN
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXif1vgiHMf
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoLbPIXn1w
He continued, "But... for a price."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SngxyjxrY
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsUpibewI
"A quarter million Phonex."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk9FKCHJdT
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzOzwCZXbQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8iNBoGB1z
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDELuM6gfB4
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB8B2WM9ia
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxWijQPgae
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjCpaj3KzB
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecTQu2zltn
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEknJHbAH40
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb293dvWUoE
But then...
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUkvTlGdzB
The ground trembled suddenly...!
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWKpZtl0iE
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLnm5bqDU
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzlsy4oDwE
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCsPYwU3W3
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebHCKLB3a
On the other side of the courtyard...
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZZmVni9xy
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaFPaN99ox
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZorfaIUE
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y49cTt3Zs
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hR1HjGPj
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKEPnmXwv5
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jAPb5nE3K
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1vBBgClUA
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv6aJeI7JI
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ETY9DotH
And in that moment...
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqNgNCW32s
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rgY8Fxl40
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmRzdTUjWw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgWz4PvjIZ
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cQFrHjLjA
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY3WYv6MBj
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1iOl2okFb
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTjGxSc4p4
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!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnbNhLW67f
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."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtYiDMXhYc
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?!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYC9TdvTxb
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqZPEFiWtK
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.
