"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8rA215RgJ
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzjtag0KbM
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNkTn3Tlyx
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy17oLtKxTj
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzfGnr9EYs
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRABF07Mciz
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTkfX06aJJ
Hours passed.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wu2GR8L7J
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKpsGkJiAM
Raven stepped out of his house,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0mFlyZh91
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjTjJiwim
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E2nIq3iwD
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA58h9csTP
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39XMy2pG1s
He continued, "But... for a price."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfHBm1uLka
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMNcn9j6F
"A quarter million Phonex."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAoq79L0B7
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEqdlyIxt3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrj4Arbg03
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxsBRCNwI
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgIgiWNkMd
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5n6r5ZZmu
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpslyaDPzg1
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgJ4dtFFA
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNtg9gSPD
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KA7Ifmrkp
But then...
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33WlWBRQ55
The ground trembled suddenly...!
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlWdOsEkNw
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZfBS0l79n
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1vV0oEf9F
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvE7KuBrkQ
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ElFgHbcQ
On the other side of the courtyard...
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2Qy6K9EP
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIwMk7WUUX
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswEYIk1Pw
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S5NQgdaNI
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvSolh1V1r
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDvms7ihCC
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIVccoBs3e
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHQ2nozdBL
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8QrjOxKqP
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8888UYPKo
And in that moment...
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdRJg3xRE
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOS9HOOZk0
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUINeFkPJq
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuV8Snsa9D
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiNlnSXHr9
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqOYUcuPe
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfYQeoqVvp
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTa2Jd3Ys
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!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiJcRNqyiC
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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dz7Lhgpx2
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?!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87pZnoCrjW
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kC8tk9cTi
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.
