After Aster's nap, he woke up to a message from Mr. Yun, the adviser from the Imperial Military Academy, and Edros.

Mr. Yun wanted to talk to him about graduation and the results of the investigation. They had found the person who pushed him as well as who hired them.

It was best to talk about that in person, so Aster scheduled a time in the morning to see Mr. Yun.

As for Edros, he said that Emperor Eliane was free in two weeks on their day off. Aster let Ellery know, and they scheduled a meeting for that day.

With all the important messages answered, Aster got off his floor bed and made his way downstairs to order some food for dinner.

He spent the night in complete silence, but to him, it was something that he and Ellery needed to mentally recover from everything that had been going on lately.

The next day, Aster showed up at Mr. Yun's office. Mr. Yun was already there, but he had a grim expression on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Yun," Aster greeted before sitting down in front of his desk.

"Thank you for coming on short notice, Mr. Aster." Mr. Yun put away some of the stuff on his desk and turned on his business terminal to bring up documents that he had prepared for Aster. "Would you like anything to drink before we start?"

"Can I have some water?"

"Of course."

A housekeeper robot that was in the office got them water and they talked about graduation before they finally started talking about the investigation findings.

"Take a look at these documents." Mr. Yun sent an encrypted email with five attachments on them.

Aster and Ellery took a look and carefully read them. First, they read about the incident. Aster was able to read what happened from an outside perspective. Secondly, he read the eyewitness reports that saw what happened to him. Many more people came forward about what happened than Aster and Ellery had initially thought. Finally, they read about the person who pushed Ellery and a summary of the interrogation.

Darian was the one who paid the student to push him. There were chat records and bank statements as evidence.

Ellery sighed because he had already told Aster about the results from his previous life. In that timeline, Ellery was just an orphan. He had no one to back him up and no one to help him fight against Darian and his rich family. The academy was also on Darian's side. In the end, they paid Ellery to keep his mouth shut.

Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Ellery just accepted the money and tried to pretend nothing had happened.

[It is different this time.] Ellery gritted his teeth. [Maybe this time, I will get justice, and Darian could leave me alone. If he doesn't mess with me further, I won't retaliate, but if he insists on trying to make my life worse or tries to kill me again, then I won't be nice.]

'I agree with this. Sometimes, if you are too nice, you will get hurt or even killed. We have to protect ourselves.'

After they finished reading the report, Aster turned off his terminal and looked at Mr. Yun.

"Do you know why this student was hired by Darian?" This was not included in the report so he was wondering if this was to protect the student's privacy.

Mr. Yun hesitated but still told Aster what happened. "His name is Lucas White. His family was very poor and needed money for his little sister's hospital bills. Darian promised to not only pay for the treatment she needed but also for all the medical debt they had accumulated... If you want, we can press charges against him as well. You have that right."
