Malory’s shoulders slumped, ber expression full of defeat. “I understand. Realistically, this is probably the furthest I can push things anyway. I’ll accept it. As for Tylissa, really don’t have the power to challenge her, so I’m done with it. From here on, I’ll just keep my distance.”

Ava studied her quietly. The girl standing in front of her was nothing like she used to be. Back in their military training days, Malory had been sharp–tongued and impulsive–someone who would flare up at a few insults and storm over, ready to fight without

hesitation.

But at the moment, she had learned restraint. She no longer acted on pure emotion, nor did she stubbornly force herself into situations where she’d only end up cornered just to prove a point.

After speaking, Malory clearly had no intention of continuing the topic. “Right, Ava, I almost forgot― messaged a bunch of friends last night asking them to vote for you. Let me check the current rankings on Stellar Network.”

She quickly opened the Stellar Network. However, the moment the page loaded, she saw that the top three positions were completely dominated by Tylissa’s performances, far ahead of everyone else.

Staring at the leaderboard, Malory suddenly felt both foolish and insignificant.

Someone like her would never be able to compete with a person like that, and what made it even worse was that her own impulsive decision had ended up dragging Ava into the situation.

Her gaze stayed fixed on the screen until her vision blurred. Before she even realized it, tears began to fall. Turning toward Ava, she choked out, “Ava, I’m sorry… I’ve messed things up for you again. I shouldn’t have involved you just because I was angry and couldn’t let it go.

“If the show was canceled, then so be it. But

couldn’t stand feeling humiliated, so I pushed you to perform in my place. It made me feel better at the time, but I never once considered what it would do to you. If you stepped in for me, what if Tylissa targets you too? What if she starts resenting you because of this?

“I never should’ve done it, It’s all my fault–my stupid pride got in the way. I was reckless, completely unprepared, and far too confident that I’d impress everyone.”

The more she spoke, the more uncontrollable her crying became. In a moment of self–blame, she even raised her hand and slapped herself twice. “This is all on me!”

“Malory!” Ava quickly grabbed one of her wrists, while Noelle caught the other.

“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Ava said firmly. “I’ve never blamed you. If I didn’t want to help, I wouldn’t have agreed in the first place”

She met Malory’s eyes directly. “I performed because I consider you a friend, not because I care about rankings.

“As for Tylissa, if she doesn’t come after me, I won’t go looking for trouble either But if she does, she should think carefully beford trying anything. So don’t worry about me”

Ava gently parted her back and used a tissue to wipe away her tears

Naomi watched Ava quietly, turning her words over in her mind

From the way she spoke, Ava didn’t seem even slightly intimidated by Tylissa.

Naomi wondered whether that meant Ava actually came from the same elite world.

Naomi wasn’t from one of the top aristocratic families, but she had spent enough time around high society to recognize the signs.

At that moment, she began to vaguely piece together what kind of world Ava might belong to. A chill ran down her spine when she remembered how she had almost casually tried to introduce Ava to one of her brothers the night before.

Her brothers were all accomplished in their own right, but compared to Ava’s possible background, the gap was probably enormous. She felt a wave of relief that Ava hadn’t taken offense at her thoughtless behavior.

After spending some time with Malory, everyone eventually returned to their own dorms.

That evening, after Ava came back from class, she opened her Holoband and noticed messages in the class group chat, along with direct mentions from Noelle and the others.

She opened them and found a screenshot sent by Noelle.

“Ava, check this out! A real big name publicly praised you!”

Curious, Ava tapped the image. It showed a post from someone using the name “CloudWanderer,” who had shared a clip of her lute performance along with the comment.

“This is the most beautiful interpretation of ‘Midsummer Nocturne‘ I’ve heard in years. I never expected this young performer to resonate so deeply with a piece I composed. Truly delightful.”
