"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kTIYsgP0
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqARTQYBEIX
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvmjh4ZPrj
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41bcQy54v
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfrHXKPMi
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI1tUHWdTS
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nkThKRNJ2
Hours passed.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleQ1ca2gWA
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARMvKhI6zd
Raven stepped out of his house,
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8otg2HisHQ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6spdMJhA
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlb0SSujqB
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcev7EUd35G
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEJMFvX3D
He continued, "But... for a price."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7cB6ADnz
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgT7DRmn6w
"A quarter million Phonex."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmgs2SxOP
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiyR7Ufy6v
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOG8Wq9ZsA
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAZEV4tYdH
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1PfdLI57B
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGinADAQ67U
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhMkYoAhI
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVZOwxPtJd
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1RGJJ8GY6
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fwQTT0lBU
But then...
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZSwtnZshp
The ground trembled suddenly...!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8iJx5DJWK
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKrZgTygRS
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihSViTgvVw
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQojRmufz8a
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v1XHwp4Me
On the other side of the courtyard...
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojNTroy7I
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKB3DihDn
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5sKM0jJaw
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamSNHiWyYo
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFWFbDVjC
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7iW53KeZk
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiagSt5oB54
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLgQjsr18
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOpcwb8xK4
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQpd1gFky
And in that moment...
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNjg6UUCGL
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WEJomYs08
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5UGYGCJMK
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkkztnJAr
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiOvUoF7TV
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsleVbLuHCZ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMylvDib4P
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNRgnggAOa
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!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QoWgS3YvY
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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBMazcRuRw
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?!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx65qL5Doz
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKATDQzL8we
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.
