So Menai is very confident.
Professor Brown also frowned when he heard this. Because it was his mistake that allowed them to record everything clearly.
Should he not do so at the beginning?
But Ruby was not worried.
Ruby sneered. "I have more shadow creature in my hands and I have reported it."
"No way! That's not possible!" Menai almost stood up when he heard Ruby's words.
"No matter whether you believe it or not, it's the truth." Ruby didn't care whether Menai believed it or not and turned to look at Mr. Jones. "I have received more shadow creature from my friend and I have made the report about this. I'm sure that this matter should have been reported."
Ruby didn't report Riya's name.
She only wrote down that she had received a large number of shadow creature from other sources and used them for her research. This was reported not long after she came back because she knew that if she ever found something, she needed a legal source.
For this reason, Ruby also tried to ask Riya about it.
And Riya herself told Ruby that it was fine to report it this way. As long as Ruby didn't mention Riya's name, it was impossible for them to know that it was her so soon.
Though, Riya herself already had her vest fallen in front of some people in the higher ups.
So they definitely knew who Ruby meant.
'To think that this report will come in handy…'
The reason why Ruby made this report in the beginning was because Riya told her that it's impossible to hide the research materials in her hand. The higher ups would not stop them from collecting research materials on their own and instead encourage it.
After all, there was truly a limit to how much they could fund the research of these researchers.
Even if they wanted to support it rigorously, they had to think about the impact that their actions would be for other aspects. They could only try to give support impartially to all researchers who were involved in it.
"All research materials have to be reported, even if the materials are obtained privately," Ruby said calmly.
She might just be a student before the world changed, but it didn't meant that she didn't know any research's rules or anything like that.
Years of helping her professor in the academy had long taught her many rules that she had to follow when she was in the laboratory.
Ruby has always been meticulous in her work.
She remembered all the rules listed when she first came to the laboratory and knew that some loopholes could be used. But she always tried to follow it so that no one could bite her back.
Now, it came in handy.
"So you have reported everything, Ruby?" Professor Brown asked, his tone was clearly relieved.
He didn't expect that his student have already made the report for this, so it was good. In this way, these people wouldn't have the chance to take advantage of his student.
When Professor Brown thought about this, he felt really happy.
Ruby smiled confidently. "Yes, professor."
So if this b*stard kept on making trouble, she would just pull out those reports that she had submitted in advance.
Though, she would have to apologize to Riya.
Because in this way, there was a high chance that the fact that she knew Riya and Riya's identity as a rune master would be found out by others.
When thinking about this matter, Ruby felt a faint headache.
She knew that Riya had her own reasons why she didn't want others to find out her identity. But at the same time, Riya was still helping her friends out, including her.
This would definitely make it easier for others to figure out her identity.
Especially because when Riya made a move, she might not think too much about the consequences afterwards.
Ruby just sighed deeply in her heart.
"No, you're definitely lying!" Menai shook his head rapidly as if doing this could change the established fact. "There's no way you have the ability to collect the materials on your own."
This was something that everyone knew and no one could refute it.
After all, Ruby basically spent her time to do her research, completely neglecting her own training. Even if she did some meditation from time to time, it was not much and only enough to make sure that she would not be at the very bottom of the society.
But she had no experience in fighting.
Ruby herself also didn't want to go out and make trouble with others.
Isn't it better for her to be a researcher honestly?
The matter of gathering materials and so on could only be tossed to other people who had the capability to find it.
"I might not have the ability, but it doesn't mean that I can't ask for help." Ruby rolled her eyes and then looked at Mr. Jones. "I'm not lying, Mr. Jones… And you can check it too."
Mr. Jones is Samuel's father and from what Ruby knew, Samuel is also a returnee who had strong skill.
Perhaps, he knew about Riya?
To be honest, this was basically gambling and Ruby felt that no matter what she did, Riya's identity could not be hidden from Mr. Jones.
"There's no need." Mr. Jones interrupted Menai before he continued to make trouble. Even if he knew that the person in front of him was someone who was sent from Continent Z's Capital City, Mr. Jones didn't have any good impression of him and didn't want to take care so much.
So arrogant and annoying.
"I know." Mr. Jones sighed and then motioned for Ruby to come with me. "Let's talk in other room."
"Sir?" Menai had an unbelievable tone.
But Mr. Jones didn't pay attention to them and only let Ruby followed him to a different room. This was the private room where no conversation could be recorded and no one outside the room could hear their conversation.
