Robin Hood mask

A terrible event occurred in the Varyag city, attracting world attention to it

 A strange creature suddenly appeared in the middle of a residential area and began wreaking havoc

 Reputable news channels and newspapers have hosted many experts on monster species and famous hunters who have dealt with various monsters in different regions.

 But none of them could decide what this monster was 

 Therefore, they were only able to analyze widely circulated videos and photos

 From these videos, it was clear that the body of this entity was normal 

 His structure and the clothes on him indicated that he was either human or an elf, and only the head was the abnormal part of him

 This sparked theories that this entity was human and then turned into a monster in some way

 This caused panic in the public and everyone was asking one question

 How did that person turn into this monster?

 The government's statements were vague and did not clearly explain what happened

 This led to the spread of more conspiracy theories 

 One of these famous theories is that this monster is the product of tests initiated by a pharmaceutical company called Umbrella

 But this monster succeeded in escaping from the basements of that company and began its insane attack

 Although many channels that researched this topic have announced that there is no company with this name

 But many still believe that this monster is the result of some kind of experiment

 The other important news is the appearance of the most famous bandit in the empire 

 Robin Hood

 Robin Hood was a bandit who was considered an uncrowned hero by all the adventurers of Cairn 

 Stories of him robbing greedy nobles while helping simple adventurers made him a hero to many.

 But there is still a large segment of people who believe that he is just an outlaw, and no matter what he does, he must be arrested and held accountable 

 But after the events in the Varyag city , Robin Hood began to turn into a national hero 

 Even people who thought he was just a criminal started supporting him

Although no one knew the truth about that monster that appeared out of nowhere, there was one fact that was not open to discussion

 That monster was terribly powerful

 This was stated by the testimony of one of the generals who were present in that place

 General Aram Farron was there and confronted the monster 

 According to the general's words, that monster would have caused a great loss of life if Robin Hood had not been there to help 

 The general explained that the monster splitting into two parts represented a major shift in the battle

 He admitted that even if he brought out his full strength, he would only be able to stop one of the two monsters

 While the other monster could have escaped and killed the innocent people in this place, especially since it was a residential area, which put the lives of many innocent people in danger.

 This testimony strengthened Robin Hood's position and raised his status in the eyes of everyone 

 In the eyes of the subjects of the empire, Robin Hood is the noble warrior who confronted the monster, defending the lives of innocent people.

 Some took advantage of the situation and began producing white fox masks 

 This mask was the iconic symbol of Robin Hood 

 Surprisingly, all the masks were sold out in just a few minutes 

 Then, they began producing a larger quantity of these masks in an attempt to exploit this event to make a profit, while these companies began a fierce campaign to promote this event in order to push everyone to buy Robin Hood masks. 

 Which led to the spread of white fox masks in a very short period of time

 It has become normal to see a person walking in the street wearing this mask, or a group of children playing with each other with a Robin Hood mask on their faces.

 The government seriously considered intervening and preventing the manufacture of these masks

 But this issue was quickly put aside 

 Robin Hood's reputation had now reached the sky and his influence on the citizens was great 

 That's why the government did not want to confront him, because that might make citizens think that the government is standing against Robin Hood 

 Sooner or later things will calm down and people will forget about Robin Hood, then the government can move freely to arrest him.

 Meanwhile, the families who were robbed by Robin Hood in Cairn City offered a reward of fifty thousand coins to anyone who provided information that could lead them to the true identity of Robin Hood.

-----------------------

Alexander walked along a paved path that passed through the garden in the academy, and he had a regular silver ring in his palm

 He grabbed the ring with his two fingers and held it up to get a good look at the ring

 Is this really a tracking device?

 Swanson handed him this ring and asked him to wear it

 But it's a bit strange

 This was just an ordinary ring

 What makes them so sure he won't take that ring off and run away again?

 After checking for a full minute he made sure there was no problem in the ring 

 The size of the ring allowed him to remove it whenever he wanted, so the agreement that he would get money in exchange for wearing this ring was a win-win for him.

 He stopped his steps and slowly inserted the ring onto his ring finger with a strange smile 

 The ring went onto his finger without a problem

 But suddenly he felt as if the ring had become tight on his finger

 " Eh...?" He was sure that this feeling was not an illusion

 He tried to take off the ring, but it was stuck to his finger and would not move from its place

 " Eh....?" Alexander became helpless when he realized that he had fallen into a trap

 He didn't expect that they would use such a despicable trick

 "Yo…" A cheerful voice came from the side 

 Alexander turned his head, looking at the owner of the voice

 But what he saw made him jump back in horror

 A person stood in front of him wearing a Varvatos Academy uniform, but what was strange was that he was wearing a white fox mask exactly similar to Robin Hood's mask.

 Alexander's heart fell to the ground in fear

 The first thing that came to his mind was that his secret had been revealed 

 Did I leave any trace behind?... Alexander began to question himself 

 But he was sure to do it cleanly

 How was his secret exposed?

 "Haha…" The masked man laughed, "Why are you so shocked?" 

 This voice...sounds familiar 

 Alexander narrowed his eyes and looked at the masked man suspiciously, "Vincent...?" 

 The masked man removed his mask to reveal it was Vincent who waved cheerfully, "What a great day for some gardening."

"Gardening?" Alexander whispered strangely

 "Yes, the members of the gardening club asked for my help. These girls will not be able to plant this entire area on their own." 

 "No, wait a minute…" Alexander shook his head, which was distracted by Vincent's chatter, "The important thing is why are you wearing this mask?" 

 "Oh…" Vincent waved the mask, "I bought it from a nearby store, isn't it cool?"

 " a store...?" 

 With Alexander's question, two people appeared who were walking next to each other, talking excitedly about something

 They were wearing Varvatos Academy uniforms, but they had a Robin Hood mask on their faces 

 "Can someone tell me what's going on here?" Alexander's head was about to explode from what he saw, so much so that he forgot about the ring for a moment

 "It seems that the trend has not reached you yet..." Vincent grabbed Alexander's shoulder and started leading him towards the cafeteria. 

 It only took minutes for the two of them to be in the cafeteria 

 The place was filled with students of both sexes who were wearing white fox masks 

 Alexander looked around like a madman, as if he were in a dream 

 "The white fox mask has become popular recently because Robin Hood has become a role model for many warriors." Vincent explained the situation to him

 "You mean you paid for this mask?" Alexander pointed at the white fox mask incredulously

 "Of course, these masks have spread widely over the past few hours and millions of them have been sold." 

 Alexander opened his mouth weakly as he imagined the opportunist capitalists making millions selling fox masks while he had to tie a collar around his neck to get some coins.

 "..." Why do I feel like I've been robbed?

 Where are the intellectual property rights?

 It is clear that these people are amassing a fortune while the real owner of the idea lives in miserable financial conditions 

 If he had known he could do this, he would have taken advantage of the situation without hesitation

 But again the capitalists were one step ahead of him 

 Alexander wanted to cry, but the tears did not come out
