"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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEURLbRHQK
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDUCLb3aIr
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtdUCthgqE
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpGvQe6oDL
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRSF23JYIQ
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfbSG3LEI
Hours passed.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytP5nD3Flr
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJrIKmVr96
Raven stepped out of his house,
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFyusWq7YW
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JmrLiHrEr
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JxIlwMGFV
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdkRkNO9f
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCyjJRpOzQ
He continued, "But... for a price."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnxqEGBVYT
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRCCXX3STG
"A quarter million Phonex."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacX3pyAdU
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOtgBbD4O
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftX8tCYIBI
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0EZ5TM4Vd
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5tMysA9gk
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptOyYgG4iY
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZu1rUVrEo
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqS9f2B1m
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYEX5fPrfQ
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmLLcRk5R
But then...
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvyWBsbOMT
The ground trembled suddenly...!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpbf58Ok0m
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjHi16osg1
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiD2gBqvIj
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzVQvqaTrH
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygeDrOrADR
On the other side of the courtyard...
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9vktubIKe
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7eGWS3RX
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdOLuSRyog
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTXThNZBJ1
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8nlF1POXN
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0VEQMpc48
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgffedj0pYQ
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FBjiYuK5E
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJfY6kRmnM
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHvnjv0sF
And in that moment...
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNprbU4kmtR
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1LegvvcoE
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gWwbrBfzr
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQDpDM8DOA
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFvv0pjsNg
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnAA7ZC3b5
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05x2tUqLF3
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIixiPns3AR
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!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRECjl9Bd7
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."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDenQhiZH7y
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?!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIuPvlW9dK
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mXH0EoL1
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.
