"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ZuMmCwMS
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDSvsqSPO
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgGVTr8qXm
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30b8nQAn3h
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2mO5OTWFy
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVxspJcblz
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71wubTLv2n
Hours passed.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iw22w8tCy
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oWRRBAvVt
Raven stepped out of his house,
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOscOyOUy8
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XxPGw259v
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mREBuUIcn
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpemn4GqTsT
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWotk46PS1X
He continued, "But... for a price."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO036qoysN
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyUs7KlGqE
"A quarter million Phonex."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajn6e6AZ3s
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fM61y8IOi
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BkvOWPTt8
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY4HVULtFG
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cBj5BRv0e
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaE5RLZ1Ue
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8PZQlLRe
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBbl1WTCcA
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rW7R4UgZ0
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkCCt4hRz4
But then...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02BTod1LdJ
The ground trembled suddenly...!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn84a7oeYD
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jylWXzdhm
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vL0OZF6GC
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgxvJ8aNe
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfdoSkjDKc
On the other side of the courtyard...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCM38LmTjF
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIQKM3rbdp
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMzjOjxJL
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9a8k4fS9O
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv7FMnvnlQ
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjCk8WeeV2
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28RD54eYUA
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3aYsnXhd
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37y2dUyjfh
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3JHIg4ISS
And in that moment...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRsLfQgOLF
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSMbFZTYw7
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GLXvKTQFn
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1oRV2q9ff
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfc1UGaMD
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dIDsxAU7v
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMrO9YxdP2
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ePHViS49
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!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHMV4bqKab
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."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5FR8bQNpv
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?!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4tUSWii89
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFJoIMOCV8
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.
