"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.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0FW9hE4w
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UBSNrv2Qe
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGezsw91Y
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYdD162gI
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHX0RIWNb
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOHlhd3IJ
Hours passed.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLYQZs2sP
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolTdl55Q7c
Raven stepped out of his house,
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLQBZG1mr
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.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgWtW8sMjx
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa6i0GrJnG
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.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfXhGiZuF
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5QNbHCdQf
He continued, "But... for a price."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFAvzWGRXY
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D5EfjL3KK
"A quarter million Phonex."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoxuapn68D
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqix4wkXnU
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOxKHLNYw
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOXkBvexnx
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.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3P5DbaTRu
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAtywCcXJW
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXcWy3YaZ
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ifPx3XvG1
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfmqA1HpcL
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnwqCBHTv3
But then...
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYE2ZStBGU
The ground trembled suddenly...!
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3biihbcxKx
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7rHLgByid
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLaImnUlqk
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWjTDYvyL
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4KrrzlH6P
On the other side of the courtyard...
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnDQuQsro
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24r6ObZtyS
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKM6JOpVdL
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm77bf8qYJ
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xil8v2NPq
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDr2Ot7dHY
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7YWNxLOf7
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpeVFkDDLZ
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD7ByYi8z4
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHClaUcIAO
And in that moment...
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbM74WtvVM
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhoJcdg9Xu
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9SVESbxhi
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoKSuHsqTx
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK1dBktC5v
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQON44ZQfn
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.
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJN5NTgFAc
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPFYwVChUX
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!"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBxdaxDMal
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."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHKktM3zCS
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?!"
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbn2mQhEeT
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gojtE3UeC
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.
