The office is situated at the top floor of the Adminstratum building. Not only his office, but also a rather large estate, and of course his personal secretary and her living quarters.
Patriel had no choice but to report at this man's office. Every new student is required to do so. Regardless of their status. He only waited a moment before the secretary led him through into the office. It was quite the office. A great deal of finely crafted furniture with very intricate engraving. Various items dotted their well crafted surfaces. Small trinkets from the looks of it. The Director is likely a collector. But there didn't seem to be a theme to it.
Denagam Raseel Setera, Academia Supremus' Director of Education, the youngest Director to date. Long blonde hair pulled back, thin wire frame glasses, and a handsome set of features. Not what you would expect from a Director.
"Marquis Sarcanus, I bid you a warm welcome to our prestigious Academia," The Director said with a broad smile and open arms.
"Patriel is fine, Director, please. Let us dismiss with the formalities and get this out of the way." Patriel said with a dismissive nod, not bothering to take a seat. The Director's eyes narrowed and his smile became faint.
"Yes. Let's dispense with all the masks. I need a task completed. And while there are staff here that are capable. I'd like you to to handle it," He said with a twirl of his hair. Which made Patriel's brow furrow.
"As you'd like." Patriel said levelly.
"An important new student was supposed to arrive at the school not long ago. But he has yet to check in with anyone. I would like you to find him and escort him to my office." The Director said in a more serious manner as he handed him a file, then taking his seat and going about his business.
Patriel looked at him for a moment. Then turned and left. He looked at the file after exiting the building. Ven Avenor it read.

Director Setera had access to the school's speaker system, but seldom used it. "Would the following students please report to my office, Patriel Sarcanus, Ven Avenor, and James Gransela."
Somewhere, Patriel's brows furrowed with suspicion, going back to his suite to grab a small caliber gun that he could easily conceal. Then going to the Director's office, but not before placing a bug on the wall outside the room, just in case something happened. He wondered if he should wait for the other two to show up.

Ven was in the middle of reading some archives within his mansion and drinking some green tea. He was very concentrated on his drink and reading he failed to notice the beeping noise.
"Master Ven the Director wishes you in his office.", Aurora finally said as she appeared before him in his study.
"Eh?", Ven managed to say.
"I said, the Director wishes to see you.", she said which he thought she was giving her you got to pay attention pissed off look.
"Oh right sorry I was having a good read, be right back and see what he has in store for us.", Ven said.
As he walked by many students some looked at him in suspicion.
'I wonder what is it this time... why would he need all three of us?'
As he arrived he entered the room and noticed Patriel already there.
'Figures he probably has not much to do except brooding and likely being extremely serious.'
"You called Director?", Ven soon asked.

If it's any other regular instructor then James would probably just ignore it and pretend to not hear it, but he's got to give the slight respect to the director. After being told that several times and almost dragged out of his room by his beloved servant, he finally does as asked, got dressed and head towards the director's office.
"Well, what is it this time? Hope it's not like last time when you guys failed to fix up my schedules... though with these two here I doubt it's just about me. So lets hear it, how can I help you, director."

The Director regarded them with a smile, except James. "If there's been any mix up. You should look inward." he said with a raised brow. With a dismissive wave of his hand he moved on. "For quite sometime the school has been without a Student Council. Largely due to the fact that the last attempt resulted in the death of three nobles and two incarcerations."
Adjusting his glasses he smiled broadly. "That is why I will select the members. I've chosen Ven here to be Vice President. James as treasurer. And Patriel as discipline committee head."
Patriel eyes narrowed. "I decline."
"It's mandatory."
"I don't accept the responsibility!" Patriel replied quickly.
"It's non-negotiable," The Director said shooting him a serious expression.

He decide to ignore the comment from the director and talk to Ven instead.
"Because of your title maybe?"
James sat back and thought about it for a moment, besides the responsibility, there aren't much problem with this. And being in charge of the finance in the council could be useful in the future. Besides, according to what the director said, there's not much choice here.
"Treasurer hm? What range of duty and what kind of numbers are we talking about here?"

"I actually don't know how to answer that," The Director said regarding Ven. "Perhaps it's your non-threatening demeanor. Or perhaps because a large portion of the student body hates you. I can't decide which."
He looked to James. "You'll have access to the funding for student run events. Ranging from minor ones, to major festivals, including our upcoming ball and tournament." The Director explained calmly. But then shot James a serious eye. "Keep in mind the large events actually get some exposure to the outer politics of the Empire. As in, all eyes on us, and any fault will fall on the council should they be anything less then spectacular."
"And me?" Patriel said angrily.
"You'll put together a committee to ensure the safety of the students during school and especially during events." The Director explained calmly.
"That'll make me universely hated," Patriel said with murder eyes.
"Exceedingly," The Director said with a broad smile.

Ven turned to James then replies, "One problem all three of us are same title..."
He then heard the director's reply and sighed a second.
"Lets hope its the first one and not the second...", Ven muttered.
"Well at least it could keep you on your feet not like its already 'moving about'.", Ven soon said to Patriel.
Then a thought occurred to him Ven then asks, "Hey one quick question.... if I am Vice President who is the President?"

"Ha, I have a feeling it's the second one."
He makes a short remark before turning to the director.
"Of course, if I do get into this position then I'll give my efforts... though, I'll only be charge of the budget. Any problem that happens out of my responsibility will not be my fault. But I'm sure with these two in charge, we won't have any problems? Am I right Marquis Avenor and Marquis Sarcanus?"
He just sits back watch the show, he can see it already, all those fools trying to mess with these two. Better get the popcorn ready, it'll be a decently interesting show to watch.

The Director reached back, grabbing a data pad, tossing it over to James. "Actually, beyond the Ball, and the Tournament. You have no money left in the budget. You're expected to raise as much money as possible to fill in the other events."
"As for the President seat. That will be revealed at a later day," The Director said with a somewhat insidious smile.

"I'm sure you have a lot more budget than this, if you don't buy all these 'show goods' here. It would be helpful if the kind Director will provide some support to his students."
He was referring to the Director's collections inside the office, after all you can't pretend to be poor when you look like you're made out of gold. Another choice is paying the stuffs on his own, which is not going to happen.
"I seem to remember that we're here to learn, the tuition fee that we paid should be able to cover all that is required?"

The Director left the same blank eyed smile on his face he'd had few a while now. "That's where you have it wrong. It's a privilege to come to this academy. It's a privilege to come to the Emperor's Academy that is. So despite what you may think. We owe nothing. And while my collection is quite impressive. My own finances are not something required of me. Just think of it as a 'learning experience'," The director said before sitting back so the light shined over his glasses.
"There hasn't been anyone from the Imperial Line here in ages," Patriel remarked dryly.
The Director shifted his eyes to Patriel, his smile broadening ever so slightly for just a moment, before looking back to the others.

Ven was in a deep thought over who could be the President then suddenly the glue was given.
'Wait.... why would be talk about the Imperial Line being here unless. Wait maybe that is why I was made Vice President not to actually be the Vice but to protect.... oh fuck me in the ass..'
"Oh you got to be kidding me...", Ven soon said figured it out which now he knows WHY all three were chosen.
