Agate manages to find pieces of his broken plane at the junkyard and finds a way to get to Cluster E.A. with the help of a man he saved earlier. At the academy, he befriends a young boy named Fon, a victim of the military students' bullying. The military school has occupied Cluster E.A. in order to participate in a rival-like competition to determine the schools' reputation; because of the high expectations of the military school needing to win, the military students attempt to kill Beryl. However, Beryl narrowly survives the accident and makes Fon promise not to tell anyone. Despite Beryl's injury, Agate miraculously heals Beryl's arm during the fencing competition, leading him to victory.
