Chapter 028: The Tragedy of Ten Years Ago

"Ats, are you really okay?" ask Arjuna again after the first lesson is over. Ats smiled and nodded, "It's okay."

"Really?" Arjuna was still not convinced.

"Hm," Ats answered briefly. He also decided to leave class for a while. Arjuna who was observing him could only stare suspiciously. He was a sensitive young man, especially the two of them had been friends since childhood.

"Daddy ... I couldn't focus because of him" complained Ats outside his class. He walked into the large school hall. There were many students besides him there.

"Does he have anything to do with that tragedy, huh?" Ats sat on one of the long benches available there. He also looked at the device in his hand. Arselan has copied all the data he can to his master's smart device.

"Tragedy ten years ago," Ats read the earliest page that Arselan gave. It was news of the accident that befell the Imperial Third Fleet, the fleet led directly by Grand Admiral Asir. There were various irregularities to the accident that led to a lot of gossip and questions. However, the case remains closed with the same conclusion: a technical error resulted in a tragic accident.

Next page—

There are lists of officers from the Third Fleet and fallen observation officers. One of them is the Salam Eden. It is recorded that at that time he was 15 years old. He was the youngest victim in the tragedy.

"No family, orphans since childhood. His home is an orphanage not far from the Observation Office" Ats said as he walked back to his class. The next lesson will begin soon. He had to hurry before his teacher came in first. "Was the spy just taking away the identity of a deceased person in order to trick the academy?"

"Hi" someone patted Ats' shoulder. Ats turned his head and found a lethargic young man with a thin flattened face. His gaze was flat, almost like one who had no hope of life. The young man asked, "You're Asir Atssuria, right?"

"Yes," Ats tried to recognize the older man. He silently looked at her from top to bottom. A moment later, Arselan gave a report.

" The subject was identified" said Arselan, who then showed a screen of the interface above the young man's head. There is the inscription, "Greetings of Eden (Doubtful). Further investigation is needed."

"Senior—" Ats almost read the writing with the words.

"Greetings" the wry-faced young man introduced himself first, "Hail Eden, third-year disciple. I want to talk to you."

"Ah, sorry, Senior," Ats immediately refused, "I have to get in."

"Go back to school later," Salam gave another alternative, "Do you have time?"

"Em—" Ats wants to refuse. He obviously did not want to get close to this suspicious student. It was fortunate that he had a reason for that, "That .. I had a special class with Magister Snoug later. Sorry, I don't have time."

"Master Snoug? What class?" Greetings seem not to intend to release him at all. That makes Ats more alert. He replied simply, "Leadership Class. That's a special class I got. Sorry, Senior. I have to go in now."

"Ah, tungg—"

"Huh, it's good that it's not too late" Ats heaved a sigh of relief. It also activates the learning device. The second half of the lesson starts now.

"Ats, you can wait a little while there," said Magister Snoug who was still busy with his work when Ats entered, "I'll be done in a moment."

"Okay, Magister," Ats nodded lightly. He sat on the sofa in the office. The sofa is soft and comfortable. It is indeed worthy of being called the best quality for a high institution like the Altair Academy.

"Hais ... it turns out that he is still here," Ats sighed in surprise as he recalled his encounter with Greetings earlier this morning. It was an unexpected meeting altogether. The strange young man even invited him to meet.

"What's the problem, huh? How does he know me?" Ats became increasingly suspicious. While waiting for Master Snoug's work to be completed, he continued his reading regarding the tragedy that occurred ten years ago.

"Destroy the Third Fleet! Accident or Conspiracy?" Ats read the title of a digital tabloid published that year. This is old news that Ats Senndiri has never read. At that time, he was still too small and did not understand complex problems like this.

At that time, the entire fleet that was on the scene was destroyed. A large explosion occurred from the observation deck. If it was an ordinary explosion, there would certainly be no casualties from either the observation team or the advanced Third Fleet. The thing is, it's a super explosion that contains an electromagnetic storm so it can shut down all the electronics around it. That's why the control of the fleet became unstable and resulted in a great accident.

It is possible that the explosion was caused by the *******attack operating around the observation site. It is thought that they deliberately ignited a problem in the engine that was there so that it reacted seriously to the charge of the material around. That's what caused the super explosion.

"Ck! This is just an estimate that no one can prove" Ats murmured softly. He continued to the following page. The page still covers the same topic, but the content is a little different.

"The Third Fleet's accident! Is the government really involved in this?" that's the title that was plastered big in the news article. Just like before, this article does not present convincing data at all. The government even responded to it as, "A ridiculous unfounded imagination to lead people's opinions."

"That's a reasonable response" Ats thought from the government's point of view that was criticized without basis. You could say, it was a great slander. Especially for government. "Ck! Even they're shoplifting from the same source."

"Undi Tak, the journalist and influencer who is responsible for these baseless news," Ats read the person who was the source of the news that often berbendem "Hat/katanya.

Arselan also showed his profile. According to Arselan's search, the Undi Tak was arrested seven years ago on charges of spreading false news, slander, and defamation. He is an emotional and famous figure often throws hate speech against certain groups. From a young age, he was indeed known as the "Influenser Maker of Onars."

"Hais .. This case is too complicated," Ats let out a long sigh. He closed the pages and leaned his back against the sofa. His mind became increasingly chaotic because of the data that Arselan exposed. Well, it is indeed data with the category of "lies" anyway, but it is still useful to investigate the commotion that had occurred in that time.

"Unfortunately, there is not much information related to the Salam Eden there," Ats lamented. The thing that intrigued him the most at this time was the real identity of the Greetings of Eden. He felt he could not ignore it at all.

"Ats," the call from Magister Snoug made Ats immediately turn his head, "Are you in trouble?"

"I—"
