But at a time like this, Bai Ye certainly wasn't going to act as though he knew Psykos.
After all, Psykos didn't know him at all yet. If he opened with something inexplicable, she would only take him for an idiot.
"..."
So Bai Ye merely glanced up before going back to his meal.
Boros recognized Psykos too, but he didn't say anything unnecessary.
Halfway through her boxed lunch, however, Psykos suddenly asked, "Are you the alien who transferred here today?"
Clearly, Psykos was asking Boros.
"That's me."
Boros answered without expression.
"Do you want to wipe out humanity?"
Psykos asked bluntly.
"...No, I have no such intention."
Boros shook his head slightly.
"That's a real shame..."
Psykos didn't continue talking to Boros. After finishing her lunch, she left on her own.
"She wanted to wipe out humanity despite being human herself? Was this really what she was like in the past?"
After Psykos left, Boros spoke to Bai Ye in some confusion.

Bai Ye explained.
"An unknown entity? Someone even you don't know about?"

Apart from a few students who had to stay behind to clean, everyone else could leave right away.
But most of them didn't
