"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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDubxdx2N1W
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJ8Mx6ZqA
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0bf1dmN8
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9m67UdxaE
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgraHZPSIzA
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnwmvYc1B
Hours passed.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygEoxesrra
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB89vEDgccR
Raven stepped out of his house,
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WSB6FExMR
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpxxLp35r
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty573NGhvt
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2l8c7jOUk
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVTZd3mc39
He continued, "But... for a price."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB69fZ9lwen
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJmX3pdPnF
"A quarter million Phonex."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz8jovAeY0
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUNQMS5nR
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwosH42Jymx
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUHxh2CkS
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxaOCqD3vm
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdR10CjTez
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4DyLmjuRC
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zTkHgfkpR
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6VPmspoHl
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAnmHN97EM
But then...
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSw3Zq2pIq
The ground trembled suddenly...!
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xgXIA0E3F
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmLXTA1UK
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5MCdps45e
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYZBtCcwB
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKNLu5Hf6v
On the other side of the courtyard...
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoNgyCyRQF
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAsTmoHdah
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqGtcImzkG
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iSJjwCmFh
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGAYDNlzn
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0bWcNkoOg
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZJE7KPdFc
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny9FkqHdHO
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDEAN4h9ZL
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2t7jqJG7Z
And in that moment...
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGod1oHYKCQ
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAnAG8Zo1
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHrhIBGrFI
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0ASyqvqm
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01aWIWJLJB
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZCby4Wzz
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUkyVm23vw
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxbxhMJSvG
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!"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gfw7WFE73
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."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WRCcJKsQY
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?!"
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsqPzupwyY
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLUX60CQY3
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.
