"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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPDjda2Zc
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1AcLJ2AOo
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8jIXs9euk
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblWfT4TG4
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NXqe8AZyv
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89paOWTnq
Hours passed.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX5ixYGmOC
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL2AF4o46l
Raven stepped out of his house,
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0sTCiXMDt
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JM8z6kehF
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRzMuP1hTl
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALXFQtD5SF
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBMASiSTm
He continued, "But... for a price."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIGA9ekt4X
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxryP99G7t
"A quarter million Phonex."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHY7Gkod6o
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lTOSumXvj
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiQUD2bfNI
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuW886ZWF
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQCQxuU6j
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi26JQEjBnS
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImKYdO8mBi
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGTQzlnjOV
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2tdBJxaz
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmFTOdcoN
But then...
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf91EDym3Y
The ground trembled suddenly...!
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWjKL3bgv
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD53AAqb8x
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2oStP8ZKi
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYiIyOY5ZD
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6prQrSHSD
On the other side of the courtyard...
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3gBMllDJ
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYw2KQizY
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz32AhqU3fg
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb8amO8v9V
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9HzbYSLmt
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ45alhs4r
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgq90yoYP2
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFRzDxoGU
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTMv8Zf0dj
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPzEoUDfoe
And in that moment...
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBQUfe219k
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuilkqSVzrP
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtpeaJ0yLF
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpVfH60WXv
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWirUdcwDk6
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm6q6HCq6r
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZuBxoV9b
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjJpS4DjVu
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!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3stovYbW9
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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDwWmIZG4K
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?!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyh3qHwbJY
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOEwCcw8tV
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.
