"There’s no point in running... I’ll find out who you are." Ryo muttered to himself, determination gleaming in his eyes.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9sBK3Xlsb
Raven darted , leaping over obstacles, avoiding crowded streets. But Ryo was relentless—following like a shadow, waiting for his chance.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm47lJAr4CO
After several minutes of silent pursuit, Raven finally stopped… in front of a house.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2xfN9Ml7
Ryo hid , watching carefully, waiting to see who would come out of this place.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSppnP2g8Z2
With a quiet sigh, Raven stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Moments later, he removed his mask and took a deep breath.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jBfgzMjFS
Little did he know… Ryo was still waiting outside, patient as ever.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG2mu6BhRv
"Alright... soon, I’ll know who you really are." Ryo whispered with a smirk, leaning casually against the wall.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmasqA2B9Kr
Hours passed.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfc9q4zF2X
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgogBPDr9
Raven stepped out of his house,
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcFTRkqg0m
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.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgpO4ffVK
Most of the time, his tasks involved protection—guarding shipments, securing convoys, and overseeing transportation. But sometimes, he was assigned special missions.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNkrmQCXGt
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.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL64JOwJQZ
"I can reveal the identity of the masked one."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklqsQxZUY
He continued, "But... for a price."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOb7U1YHFX
One of the noblemen raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdMdAE8TgP
"A quarter million Phonex."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZ1tSuUTl
The family members exchanged glances before one of them finally responded, "250,000 Phonex? That’s a hefty sum
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs4x0JezQz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuXZhl9oN5
Ryo received no response regarding the payment. it wasn’t a rejection, but it was a clear answer nonetheless.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDHd7nwXMj
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.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapyTMfEVqf
Among them was the nation's ruler himself, a man rumored to be one of the strongest magic users of this era.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkGg7bCWvp
Standing beside the academy’s headmaster, he began speaking in a composed yet commanding tone:
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu8D5nkjtD
Ruler: "The academy looks as strong as ever... How is the training going? Is the new generation promising?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3nV90SrJ3
Headmaster (smiling confidently): "Of course, Your Excellency. This year’s students possess exceptional potential. We have talents unlike any we've seen in decades!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREx50pGw47
Ruler (nodding): "Good. Our nation's strength depends on these mages, and I expect the academy to continue producing only the best."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WMwrZYuNf
But then...
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5kTOq8Aww
The ground trembled suddenly...!
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLyMoE7tCf
A terrifying pressure swept across the courtyard—the air turned suffocatingly heavy, as if death itself had descended upon them.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha0pJPuQCj
A dark, monstrous aura engulfed everything.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVeYxT52XG
Time seemed to freeze, and even the very air felt like it was being sucked away.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqTK0SoP9C
Ryo fell to his knees—his body unable to withstand the overwhelming force!
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbzW7jdJb0
On the other side of the courtyard...
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GWrMQ1PS3
Raven collapsed as well, his eyes widening in pure shock.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb8AakedIY
"Impossible... What is this power?!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUZ9ukS4Zn
While everyone was drowning in panic, one figure moved calmly amidst the chaos.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSweqbLxEh
He walked with unwavering steps, heading straight toward Lord Evren, the head of one of the most powerful royal families.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdG3os5FQw
Standing before him, his glowing eyes resembled a demon emerging from the depths of hell.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ci1BMZCsZ
"It’s time to pay for what you’ve done." His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable promise of death.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3rltsxkJr
he reached behind him and unsheathed a massive black sword—one that seemed to devour the very light around it.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsbCCwqLc8
Then, in a single, fluid motion, he struck.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfAzLQ0ou
A violent metallic scream tore through the air.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxrqUr2Sk
And in that moment...
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ejYKPzxD
The academy’s sacred emblem, the very symbol of its power, was split in half.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRmURhybMT
The emblem crashed onto the ground, shattering before the stunned audience.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ZP7Bpb29
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiHtDukq4r
Zairos stood in the middle of the courtyard, his aura filling the space with an overwhelming presence.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFXRuG6d0
"I am the Vice Commander of Arcadia."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCPNqGpNaT
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.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67rvR9aVqL
He continued in a cold, measured tone:
"You interfered with our operations… and halted our workers' shipments. Such actions cannot be ignored."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z3WgQ9GKc
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!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vsjL1jmWs
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."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGz0y3xml
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?!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qv6bLbplp
Zairos answered firmly:
"You must pay… unless you want trouble with us."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknS4d6bAtu
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.
