"Since the guest is here to cause trouble, we have no choice but to take tough measures."

The man declared.

Hmm...

Since the director asked for an impromptu performance, I guess I was fooled this time, but...

Remember, I won't let it go just like that. After filming, be ready to get beaten by me. What? This will delay tomorrow's shooting schedule?

Forget it, why don't you find a replacement?

"Sir, have you never heard of the principle of 'little by little adds up'?"

"?"

"Just now, sir also said that this spell is indeed not enough to blow up this place, but... what if there were a hundred?"

At this point, Ryuto showed a calm smile.

"What? A hundred?"

"That's right, there are currently a hundred Jujutsu Papers like this in the entire underground auction."

Perhaps sensing that Ryuto was not bluffing, cold sweat broke out on the man's followers.

"Even if that's true, when was it?"

"Isn't it just now?"

"Just now?"

"Yes, during the auction?"

"The auction? Could it be...?"

"Oh, it seems you've remembered. The reason I bought all the items was for the plan's needs and to attract everyone's attention. As long as everyone's attention is on me, things that would be impossible ordinarily, such as placing Jujutsu Papers, can be easily achieved."

"So you mean... the one who placed it was..."

As he spoke, the man shifted his gaze to Hiyori.

"Yes, all of us have jobs. Ah, being a salaryman sure is tiring. There's always work that never seems to end."

Suddenly, Ryuto started complaining inexplicably.

"Well, to be honest, I don't even know if these 100 Jujutsu Papers can blow up this place, so..."

At this point, Ryuto once again revealed that calm smile.

"Let's experiment and find out. After all, practice is the sole criterion of truth!"

"Quick, stop them."

The man ordered the others.

And those people quickly closed in on Ryuto upon receiving the command.

However, before they could do anything,

"Bang!"

Hiyori had already taken the first step.

Explosions rang out one after another from the surroundings, and then, stones from the ceiling began to fall.

"Ah!"

The people who were originally close by all frantically scattered.

"Tsk, it's too late, isn't it?"

The man clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and retreated to a corner, the only relatively safer spot in the collapsing room.

But in doing so, the other guy would undoubtedly die as well. Was his original intention to go down with him?

Thinking this, the man looked towards Ryuto.

"What?"

The next moment, he was speechless with astonishment.

What's going on? Why aren't the stones falling where that guy is standing? It's as if... the stones are deliberately avoiding him.

"This…"

Although the man didn't elaborate, Ryuto already understood his confusion and simply smiled calmly.

"Well, there's no need to be so surprised. I just used a little trick."

"A trick?"

"Yes, by controlling the explosive power of these Jujutsu Papers to make this place an absolutely safe zone, the rocks in this room where I am now are definitely not going to fall down. But rest assured, the corners are also relatively safe. If you stay there, you should be fine."

Although Ryuto said this, the other person seemed skeptical.

"It's impossible. Setting aside everything else, even if you can do that, you must have a very clear understanding of the structure of this venue. This is your first time here, and the structure here is absolutely impossible to investigate from the outside."

As they conversed, the rocks had already filled the entire backstage.
