"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0EvJyJfiL
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnWPGmyoK
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjs3dV6vmv
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jqmPFCBB
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMk1Or1NPv
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytevQXdfH
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPyKtaoTn7
Hours passed.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi4CpBZ0Al
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8L21FmNls
Raven stepped out of his house,
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDxpXIPHQ
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrIx9Rd5sp
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyez911QDII
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdzSIrre7
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFLBvGsXED
He continued, "But... for a price."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5PooRBk1z
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv84yQwMGT
"A quarter million Phonex."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmZylLZAJ
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw3skoYqx0
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoALpXVPKn
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS68IriUHe
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhTds0ZAB
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF0nEyNyi0
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInCGxe0gCL
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uspDhbY2T
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDsyEEULvg
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphxLCjLNiD
But then...
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsHzC9IfhT
The ground trembled suddenly...!
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rf02R46MF
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMVIEUzl3
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9drdLhsa6
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYz1NKjfJh
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQbZt3NBc
On the other side of the courtyard...
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtMAx9w5yw
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBMHccwtWa
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0JtJcgTLP
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0NTMMOvfs
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXXY2M9km1
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKtx0pta9F
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENINEHhuyQ
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXF9LqpBYL
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrgm7gqn6R
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAs8FJZY0x
And in that moment...
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibvdGOlGH7
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo9OSHvcpq
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGoyhjfrk
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyUUkqJ4xV
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0WML2ygKt
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCwtXmWQn7
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2K0IIff15
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf38ocvW36L
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!"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlSLzbQzCy
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."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy1IpPydHg
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?!"
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1YdZTmWEJ
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPGrrlCGIh
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.
