It hadn't been that long since he submitted his report, just a few hours. He had barely gotten any time to relax, in reality.

It wasn't impossible.

For the Martial Union to have finished processing his report quickly made him suspect that perhaps his profile was flagged for priority, though he couldn't be sure about that.
