Ven followed his datapad towards the main city of Escalon truly if he didn't have his map his sister told him to follow he would of been lost a long time ago. Moving through the walkway after exiting the air carriage he arrived to a good part of the city with many people walking and shopping. Looking around he soon came up to the edge of the walkway to look down.
"Well falling would be an understatement.", Ven commented.
Below he could see the grand city of Escalon itself as the vast large towers and many platforms carry vary class of citizens. As he walked in normal clothing trying to look the part of someone of the city he saw different people out and even other teenagers a few years younger or same age were just got out of school. All of them happy he felt like he was missing something.
'Friends... that is what I am missing.... here all alone and through my entire life I trained for the purpose of being a Knight without thoughts of having fun or friendship.... Well no time to think what I have not now to go to the place I need to go. Where was it... near Benolovo Platform.... in high end section of the city Loreans Business of Nobles... so self explanatory.'
He made his way towards that business only six full blocks from where he was, but he didn't notice another figure in full Power Armor watched above.
"Milady are you sure?", the voice which sounded female said.
"Yes.... just watch him for now.", the other female voice replied.
"I do not know what you plan... I thought you already had your 'men'.", the female replied.
"Just do it don't question me either Felicia.", the other voice ordered.
"As you wish Milady I will Observe him.", the female replied as she continued to watch Ven.

Besides the figures above, there's a few more waiting in the shadows, some pretending to be regular people walking on the streets, while some are sitting on the side. These people seems to be watching Ven, and waiting for something.
"Should we move?"
"Not yet, he's a famed soldier, we should wait for a better chance..."

Walking through the streets Ven finally arrived to the place he needed. It had to be no place would look so ridiculous if it wasn't for Nobles the rich furnishing and all other high security around it. Walking up one of the guards stopped him right away they were wearing power armors and high end weaponry.
"Please stop and name your business.", the guard soon said.
"I am Ven Avenor of House Avenor I believe I am expected by Mister Lorean.", Ven soon said as he gave his ID to them.
After a quick scan on both him and his ID they checked their computers which came up positive.
"Sorry about that Marquis Avenor we just have to be extra careful lately what has been happening within the House of Nobles and many 'issues' which has put many Nobles on edge. Milord this way I will escort you to Mister Lorean.
"Thank you.", Ven answered.
'Something is going on? What would put all Nobles on edge?'
Regardless he was lead toward inside pass some other Nobles who were shopping or sent servants in their place. As he pass a few more security doors and measures he arrived to the office of Mister Gorden Lorean the current head of the business of his family own service.
"Ah Marquis Avenor it is good to see you arrived here safely I fear that someone might try to kill you since its a common for this city to have assassination attempts.", Gorden Lorean soon said.
"No worries even if there are I am used to being attacked in the open its been engraved into my mind.", Ven Admitted.
"Good good lets get straight to business.", Mister Lorean soon said.
After a few drinks Ven refused the wine not really into drinking, their business was concluded after a half an hour of supplies for the Mansion and purchase of a basic Power Armor from Aurlia being sent to his home.
'Though I would rather have my own Armor from the Order I was told not to bring it.... so I guess I will simply make do with this one.'
Truth be told since its not been calibrated into his style of fighting it would be hard to get used to it. But now he needs it for the so called Tournament coming up. As he left the complex he noticed it was starting to get dark though the sunset was beautiful even if he could see it properly.
'Supplies should be arriving to the mansion in an hour and the Power Armor in a couple of days.... god I hope nothing bad happens to it.'
As he continued walking he soon saw a child alone and lost and noticing no one even helping the poor boy.
Walking up to him he soon went on his knees then asks, "Hey are you ok kid?"
The child was full of tears and said he lost his mother in the crowd near a shop.
Seeing as he felt like helping the kid he soon went to look for the mother only to find her 20 minutes later who was completely grateful.
"Thank you thank you I do not know how to repay you.", the mother said.
"Don't worry about it I just felt like doing that today.", Ven replied the mother and child turning to head away.
The kid waved bye to him and he waved back he then turned.

This scene of course, is clearly seen by the group of people, and a perfect opportunity. The leader gives out the orders to get ready.
"Aim well, don't hit the kid, we don't get paid for that... now!"
Just when Ven turns, one of them pulls out a tiny silenced pistol and fire a few shots at Ven, then the group quickly runs away from the area before anything else happens. However one of them stays behind and pretend he doesn't know the others, just to see that the results.

Ven turned to only see what he quickly knew what it was.
'Fuck a gun!'
Quickly moving to the side and ground as the bullets completely missed him as he rolled about. Only for the moment it felt like slow motion as he saw the a group of people ran quickly. He was about to take out his sword from its cube form only to hear screaming as everyone in the area saw a woman and a child on the ground bleeding.
"QUICKLY SOMEONE CALL IMPERIAL SECURITY FORCES!!", someone screamed out.
To his complete horror the shots meant for him hit both the mother and child earlier only to be on the ground with a pool of blood where they lay.
'No.... no.... no... I moved... they... they.... I WILL KILL THEM!!'
Quickly in anger Ven got up and saw a few of them moving into the ground but he mentally remembered one of the assassin's faces as they ran. Quickly he gave chase activating his cube a katana appeared on his right hand he soon chased one of them.
Above observing everything Felicia soon waited for orders.
"Milady it seems someone tried to-", Felicia soon said.
"I saw damn it stop him before he gets himself killed!", the female voice on the other side said.
"But Milady this is not our business to int-", Felicia was saying only to be interrupted, "Its an ORDER DO IT!"
"As you Wish My Lady.", Felicia soon said as she quickly began to moved to stop the idiot.

The one being chased after by Ven can clearly see the young man behind him.
"Tsk, of all the ones you could have chase after..."
He quickly reload his weapon and fire a few more shots towards Ven, trying to hit him or at least slow him down for a few moment so the assassin could escape. Luckily for Ven, the others ran off towards different directions, or else they'd all be shooting at him from different directions.

Quickly Ven slid to the ground only to be shot in the shoulder.
"GAHH!!", Ven yelled but he took the pain his target was there shooting recklessly at innocents, unforgivable!
He quickly continued the chase going full speed that would surprise anyone who wouldn't expect that from someone who was shot. He jumped over different parts of the road and attempted a slash at the man hoping to cut his hand or even his gun.

The Assassin was about to turn back for a few more shots, only to meet Ven's blade. He got his hand cut off clean, and drops to the ground, holding his arm. Blood is spilling out of the wound, and the man will probably die in a short amount of time without medical attention.

Quickly picking up the man even his arm bleed slammed against the nearest wall.
"Tell me who sent you and why did you attack me?!! Answer now and I will end your suffering.", Ven soon said with anger.

"Earl... Ralgos..."
The assassin managed to say that before he died, was he telling the truth? Or maybe it's just a random name he decided to say? But that's all the clue Ven get for now...

Ven dropped the dead man on the ground as he heard siren's which told him the Imperial Security Forces were coming.
"So this is what he means by sometimes you die.... I better get out of here first before anything else happens.", Ven quickly said.
Making his way to the nearest air carriage he paid the man extra to keep quiet and headed off back to the Academia.
A woman glad in an Power Armor observed this all then says, "Milady your orders?"
"Nothing for now but this just got a bit complicated.", the woman on the other end said.
"Complicated... huh...", Felicia soon commented.
