"Well, even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter because I saw you last night. You not only destroyed the country's research facilities one after another, which even minors cannot forgive," said the tall man confidently.

What's going on? This person's words are a bit overwhelming and hard to understand.

"What exactly is going on?" Ryuto asked tentatively.

"Well, you seem to be just an ordinary person who knows nothing about your own actions. Judging by your reaction, I suppose we aren't classmates," the man said, ignoring me.

"Well, we are not classmates," Ryuto stated the fact.

Tensyoin Miyuki, who had been silent until now, spoke up. However, her expression had clearly changed, which seemed a little terrifying to Ryuto.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a cold voice.

"What am I doing here? Didn't I just explain everything earlier? And even if I didn't, you should still understand, right? After all, you let me escape last night. Although it would have been better to catch me red-handed, it doesn't matter now since you already know my identity," Ryuto replied.

"..."

"You should know that the facilities you have been destroying these past few days are crucial to the country. Leaving aside the financial losses, it greatly affects the political situation of this country. It may even directly threaten the interests of all citizens, you know? Right now, you are harming the interests of the entire nation out of your own self-interest," the man explained.

"Interests?" Tensyoin Miyuki muttered with clenched teeth.

"Yes, interests. And even if you could settle things with money now, you probably can't afford it. Since it cannot be salvaged, the only option is to prevent further destruction. Otherwise, it's like having a time bomb attached to your body that could explode anytime. This safety hazard must be eliminated," the man continued.

"So, what are you going to do?" Ryuto asked, trying to instigate a little.

Knowing his intentions, the tall man just looked helpless.

"Well, we just recently found out about your identity, so there is no definite decision yet. After all, the culprit this time is a student, which is somewhat special. But at this stage, it is certain that you will be detained as soon as possible," the man replied.

"Is that so? I guess we'll see if you have what it takes," Ryuto said.

After saying that, the atmosphere instantly changed.

"Stand there, my princess," Tensyoin Miyuki declared like giving an order.

"Hmph, do you really have this kind of power? If it were someone else, they would probably be brainwashed by you," the tall man showed signs of struggle, as if being bound by something invisible.

"However, I can handle this level of strength. It's just more inconvenient compared to usual. Besides, as long as I get close enough, you won't pose a threat. After all, your physical abilities are on an ordinary level," the tall man said, still struggling, but he didn't seem to care anymore. He probably concluded that defeating the so-called practitioner was enough.

So, even though his movements weren't very swift, he still charged forward.

Hey, hey, what should I do?

Ryuto shouted in his heart.

As the tall man rushed towards us, he swung his right fist. The punch was not fast, but it carried a great weight. Although it wasn't swift, it was still faster than the average person's movements.

We were just ordinary people here.

While I was thinking this, the opponent had already closed in.
