He looked directly at Raito.
"What matters right now… is you."
A brief silence followed.
"I want you to stay out of the public eye for a while. A week… maybe two."
He gestured lightly.
"Stay away from the media. Let everything settle down."
Raito said nothing.
Mesan's smile thinned slightly.
"Right now, people are calling you a threat."
He exhaled slowly.
"You defeated multiple S-rank hunters… alone."
Another step forward.
"And you didn't even look tired."
His eyes flicked toward the destroyed corridor.
"That door you destroyed… was made of mesilo—one of the strongest metals in the world."
A pause.
"It weighed over 45,000 kilograms."
Silence filled the space.
"And you sent it flying… with a single punch."
The guards swallowed hard.
Mesan looked back at Raito.
"And that…"
A faint smile returned.
"…wasn't even close to your full strength, was it?"
Raito remained silent.
"So… everything that happened… the fight… everyone saw it, right?" Raito asked.
