Meeting the Victim

-"Wow! Did you see Yelena speaking?"

-"Ahh, man! I think I fell in love with her~"

-"Hah! She's waaaay outta your league, bro!"

After a very fervent and flaming speech from Yelena, the cadets were asked to head to their assigned classes.

The cadets were already assigned classes prior to coming here by the academy via email.

Global Military Academy wasn't just your run-of-the-mill schooling infrastructure. It was a freaking castle in the middle with five skyscrapers surrounding it.

All the skyscrapers were numbered from 1 to 5. These skyscrapers were where our classes will be held starting today.

The modern-styled castle in the middle of these five skyscrapers served as the cadet council and disciplinary committee's dorm and office.

Furthermore, the campus quite huge. If I have to put the campus size in numbers, then it could easily be well over 40 square kilometers.

Well, that was nothing to be surprised about. After all, this campus was equipped with state-of-the-art cutting-edge technology to train and assist cadets in any way imaginable.

Looking around, I saw cadets from both elite and commoner backgrounds alike walking their way to their assigned class buildings.

The class I was assigned by email from the academy was [1-A-1].

'1' meant the building, and 'A' meant the floor, while the other '1' represented my classroom number.

There were 23 floors in one building and each floor contained 20 classrooms. The strength of one classroom was roughly around 100 cadets.

I started heading to the center-right skyscraper where my class was located.

Funny story. After entering Building 1 and walking for a bit, I lost my way...

My sense of direction wasn't this bad, if I had to say it used to be quite good even. But while walking along the way, I kept thinking about something or other and inevitably ended up getting lost.

Well, it's not like I am completely lost, it wouldn't take that much time to find the classroom.

-"Hey, did you find our class?"

-"Yeah, it's here!"

-"Honestly, I thought it would be trouble finding our class in such a big infrastructure."

-"Naah~ Every floor is marked, and each floor has only 20 classrooms. Only an idiot would get lost here. Hahaha!"

The nerves on my forehead twitched as I heard some girls chatting in the background.

I lost because I wasn't paying attention to those very signs.

"Umm, are you lost, perhaps?"

After sighing at my ridiculous mistake, I was about to start walking to find my classroom before a melodic voice spoke to me.

Turning my head toward its owner, I saw a short blue-haired girl who flinched a bit after meeting my indifferent gaze.

I am scary, aren't I? I wasn't blaming this girl for reacting that way, since this happened most of the time in my previous life too.

She had a thin yet attractive figure and a small face.

That innocent aura, paired with her bright deep blue ocean eyes, made her look prettier.

From her long ears, which were longer than Yelena's, I reckoned that she was a girl of a pure elven bloodline.

"No need. Thank you for your concern." I politely declined since I can find my own way after a bit of searching.

"I-is t-that so? Then if you would excus-"

Before the blue-haired girl could finish up her sentence, a girl walked up to her with ferociously quick steps and put a hand on her shoulder only to cut her off.

"What are you doing to my friend?" She said while glaring at me with what could only be described as a resentful glare.

She was a black-haired girl in her late teens with jewel-like forest-green eyes. She was tall, around 5'9, with a curvaceous yet athletic figure.

Currently an angry look was plastered across her face.

"Ah but, Amelia, he didn't do anything to me."

"Is that true? Aster, you can tell me if he threatened you."

She only believed after seeing her friend frantically nod her head that I didn't threaten her.

 The black-haired girl then dragged her friend away but not before giving me one last angry stare.

"Aster and Amelia Black huh." During their entire conversation I didn't say anything since that would only escalate things.

As for why Amelia was giving me the death stare? Well, it was because four years ago, Lucas tried to rape her.

Basically, an incident happened back in high school where Lucas blackmailed Amelia into getting her to sleep with him.

Amelia tried to step up for herself and took this matter to school authorities, but Lucas, being the second heir of General Reynold Morningstar— the head of the ruling family of the Western Continent, was untouchable.

That was especially true since Amelia came from a low background. Her father was a small-time businessman.

Her family couldn't afford to offend the prestigious Morningstar family.

Lucas knew that, and he used that very fact to force himself on Amelia. He was only 14 when he pulled that shit.

He was truly a disgusting man.

Some of his thoughts and memories that I saw were so disturbing that I couldn't even begin to describe them.

Lucas was the definition of a vile man. His only redeeming quality was that he once used to be somewhat of a nice person.

But when he awakened his potential at 9, his personality flipped a complete 180°, and all signs of his previous self vanished.

Even if the reason he became this way was due to him being neglected by his family, that didn't justify his actions

I mean, he tried to r*pe a girl, a crime that I absolutely loath.

Anyway, before he could do anything to Amelia, her father directly confronted Reynold Morningstar and begged him to stop his son.

It's not hard to imagine what transpired after that.

Lucas's father stopped him and gave up all hope on him whatsoever while Amelia swore to make him pay one day.

Even if I didn't have memories of my previous life back then, I was the one who committed that crime. I will definitely atone for the crimes I committed and make up to Amelia for all the suffering I caused her.

After that I continued to search for the classroom by looking at the markings mentioned by one of the girls.

It didn't take me long to figure out the right way and was able to reach the classroom in about 10 minutes.

I opened the door and entered the classroom.

Now let's see what my student life will be in the future.
