Tch. Ryunosuke cuts him off at the pass before he can go for the shitty, snarky option that doesn't actually say something. And like hell Gen's going to let this twerp get the last word in this conversation, so. After a moment, he huffs a weary sigh, then answers with something at least marginally truthful, if only because his hand was forced.

"... what did you expect? I was just a highschooler before I ended up here."

Well. That's not entirely true. He was a student, but he knows he wasn't a normal one. Still, his point stands. Gen keeps his gaze trained off at the opposite wall as he continues flatly.

"Even if I was a delinquent, s'not like I usually did much more than get into fights. All this shit here, with magic and the war ... I'm not like some people here, where they used to be soldiers, or mercenaries, or knights, or whatever. Why would I be hyped about this shit? Aren't you the same?"
