"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cFbfFO1DM
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQT6PTxHKZ
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIDsYBZ2hY
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1FxRyEQdv
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZekXwbT2Z
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiCJLU2am
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCiLaNZYs
Hours passed.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsGxuTxOv
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTggBymqUgT
Raven stepped out of his house,
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xZ7m8wAv
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6THPz8Fk3
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtSskhwqb
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAvdCbIiyz
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9WAX4wx1
He continued, "But... for a price."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJKbYx7lY
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSdzG18yTP
"A quarter million Phonex."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGPXkgmvLv
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqHfcemCIF
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH9iBo237F
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrjeAGrfS6
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkmv3gBaSE
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKnHFRzZr
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtC8DBMlxI
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL872Igtph
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ea6Gel4e
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwfT6rKny6
But then...
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsU35Fm1Pl
The ground trembled suddenly...!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gPNVwOc9w
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly7uMD7fac
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvRgKuPZHt
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGa9J7GR1x
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzRmsPXuFi
On the other side of the courtyard...
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0WrNzcvI
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqkXnA5Bmz
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuBI303JOe
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT4xLWoH2g
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoo5UbZZXj
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMzv7ETrni
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv4kXbcI7Q
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON9oAqJDfH
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtPe4ujrt
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Na8IoDrSe
And in that moment...
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6wi8uIHT
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5ZwWKdwL
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpNnF90Ogv
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvwuRuWyyT
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWPomBJN43
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzGXHpxwB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3guU3VXVv
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGztZZT7fAu
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!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLppf0iKOZz
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."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiHmGY8okW
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?!"
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1xetKsyVW
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtltoyQToaX
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.
