Ven continued to make his way around the entire campus after being dropped off by the public air carrier it looked very odd. So out of place and odd many other Nobles looked at him in shock like why a commoner was in such a place?!! Well truth be told Ven just liked wearing regular clothes to avoid commoners acting different when he showed up ya he liked servants true though he treated them like family. But now stuck in a planet he never been too and forced to do everything him self damn his sister and her you got to man up the Avenor way. Ven arrived with many looks and even whispers first he didn't know where to go the place was literally so massive and unyielding with all the luxurious parts.
First he got distracted by a few female nobles who snickered that a commoner somehow got in the grounds or even a new servant arrived. He even asked directions which in some odd way lead him the wrong turn. Again he felt like everyone looked down on him damn it don't they know who he was?!! Ok he rethought that he probably wasn't well known it was his brother Gen who was well known. The Marquis of Venrillia heir to one of the biggest Duchys in the empire a man who look handsome and even had his own god damn fan club on his looks. Damn brother and his looks just because he got the good looks of mother!! But that brought him back kinda of sad regardless being the forgotten son and completely ignored most of his life he originally was set to join the Order of the Blue Rose a knightly order and simply take some small control of a planet in one of the systems within the Duchy and serve his brother when grandmother passes away. He was prepared to be the guy in the shadows and the guy who simply supported this now... well now he is stuck to be the future Duke.
Still in his deep thought he never noticed well he pulled his luggage and carried his bags into the Great Garden to notice where he was. Huh.... wait wasn't I at that hall? Uhhh where the hell am I?!!! This is where his newest predicament which lead him to this which got attention of some of the nobles who were enjoying the garden.
"WHY LORD WHY?!! WHY MUST YOU PUNISH ME SO WITH THIS!!! GAHH!!!!", he yelled out like the heavens were punishing him on purpose.
"First my stupid sister goes grandmother wants you to go to Academia Supremus your not joining the Order.... then dragging me across the empire running into bandits which I say were a PAIN IN THE ASS!! Then telling me my brother is dead suddenly like a brick dropped on me!! Then practically throwing me out of the ship with no help on some plain old military shuttle and then forced to get help by some Scientist who works at the Imperial R&D!! Then being looked down and now finally LOST!!! WHY MUST I BE FACED WITH SUCH HARDSHIPS!"", Ven ranted so fast and loud the other nobles look at him with staring eyes.
It was until one of the group of Nobles came up to him the females didn't bothered but looked interested.
"Hey Commoner stop ruining the scenery and get to the servants quarters your kind is not welcomed in these parts!!", one of the Nobles soon said with a stern voice.
Others soon agree all voicing their own opinions on how he is ruining their garden. Which to Ven who was so stuck in his own thoughts and world didn't noticed til one of them shook him.
"Hey what was that for?!! What did I do?!!", Ven soon asked a bit annoyed.
"Show more respect my father is Earl of the Planet Ralgos and I am his heir William Ralgos!! You commoner must respect me that is who is your better.", the lead said.
"Rallllgos? Is that kind of Pasta never heard of it maybe its one of those ones which are known for trade? Uhhh I forget but its on the top of my head.... stupid sister saying watch out for the idiotic.... uhh forget it its probably not important.", Ven said outloud which earned him a deep hatred glare.
"NOT IMPORTANT?!!! HOW.... HOW DARE YOU COMMONER!!", he shouted and threw a punch at him.
Wow that is really slow.... my master at arms back at home does worse then this.... actually I am happy its this and not a fucking bear charging at you...
Quickly Ven dodge the punch and soon it began.

Patriel had made a little detour in looking for his wayward noble he was assigned. He picked up a few supplies. Most importantly an eye graphic projector that displayed a HUD with information over his eyes. As well as a small pack that contained a powerful computer to analyze and record data. As well as his father's knife. Unlike other noble heirlooms, it wasn't ornate, it was made to be powerful. A high cycle particle edge gave it incredible cutting power and it only activated when within inches of making contact to conserve power. The hilt contained a powerful miniaturized motor that pulled a super carbon line. The line could be used for many purposes. Even so, he doubted he would need it, but his uncle warned of the potential back stabbing that occurred between the other houses.
He began his search in what he thought to be the most likely place. But then noticed students heading toward some kind of commotion. Making his way to a balcony overlooking the Gardens. He spotted the trouble below and his target.
"So this is how the other Houses behave." He said as he continued to look down calmly. Wondering if he should do anything.

'Uhhh why do I always get the troublesome situations.... damn this week keeps getting better...'
Really Ven since the age of five always ended up in trouble in his mother's eyes every time getting in trouble she always worried sick of him even though he never knew what sickness she had. He always remembered she would come for him when he got in trouble with other nobles or even rich merchants children.... fights and other issues. There was the one time he got blamed for a prank he didn't do its not like the Monk needed his robes.... 'uhh a thought for another time'. Now to the present Ven couldn't believe this on his first day he angered a couple of Nobles... really just four and yet...
"You got to be fucking kidding me...", Ven managed to say as now 10 I repeat ten students surrounded him.
"Commoner hurting one of us its a serious crime I hope you plan to pay the consequences!!", one of the other Nobles managed to say as William was on the ground scremaing in agony as his arm was dislocated.
"Hey I was only defending my self its not my fault I am trained to either kill or disable a person if they threaten me!!", Ven tried to reason.
"That is not the point no Commoner is suppose to touch a NOBLE!!", the same one yelled.
"Hey one moment I am-", Ven managed to say only to be interrupted, "Doesn't matter get him!!"
"Oh for Christ's sake...", Ven soon muttered.
Ven prepared himself all ten moved on him not only in poor Unison but worse such amateurish!! One by One each Noble threw a punch only to either be knocked down or a wrist broken or a leg being dislocated.
"Sorry!! Please Stop!! Oh come on!! Sorry again!!", Ven said as he took down each man down in a martial arts way that would be completely different from many of the nobles there.
Really if any paid attention would recognize the Way of the Blazing Rose only seen by the Duchy of Aurlia and only thought to the noble class who became Knights within the Order of the Rose though it was required for the main branch for Avenor as well.
As soon the last one fell to his knees crying in pain one of them yelled, "What the hell are you commoner!! You you dirty pion!!"
The rest of the students all looked a bit worried why a commoner would do such a thing to a noble it was unheard of.
"Oh sorry I was only defending myself.... and-", Ven was saying only to be yelled by one of the girls in the crowd calling him a dirty pion as well.
Soon the entire group were all angry and ready to pounce on him.
"Oh boy...", Ven said rubbing his head.

"Stare where you are!" Boomed a voice from a above. Patriel came down from two stories up. Everyone seemed a bit baffled as to how he did it. But he clearly didn't just jump. Quickly moving through the group.
"Ven, Ven Avenor, of House Avenor!" Patriel declared he said loud enough for all to hear. "Though his clothes may appear plain. He is a noble!"
An audible gasp ran through those gathered. However William Ralgos, finally rising to his feet, surged to the front of the group and glared venomously at Ven. But before he could speak Patriel spoke.
"Lord William. If you feel your honor has been slighted. You may challenge him to a Duel of Honor." He said looking squarely at the other man. Then turning to the others gathered. "Where only surrender or death is accepted!"
William visibly shirked from the idea of it. But before he could be shamed, his bodyguard arrived, putting himself between them.
Patriel looked over at Ven. "I'm sure that Lord Ven is willing to let this misunderstand go as simply that, a misunderstanding." he said with a stern, almost a tone of warning.

Ven was dumbfound for a moment when he noticed Petriel jumping form his point which was surprising say to at least. After hearing what was said he looked around and noticed a lot of nobles were nervous its not every day you pick a fight with an member of one of the Great Houses of the empire but also its heir well not like they know that yet. When he saw Patriel look at him with an eye which he thought only his mother would give with the you better listen to me face Ven then simply answers, "Right its all a misunderstanding I never had intent on fighting them just over did it a tad.... ha.. ha.. ha.."
A tad is an understatement since he managed to break a few bones and dislocated many of the other nobles. Yep Ven felt like he just pissed off the entire Nobles in the school. 'Great what a first day... and already I am making enemies...'
But he could look into the eyes of the different people they all looked nervous maybe because he was of House Avenor or maybe because of this guy? 'Who is this guy anyways and able to do that without an power armor too?!'

A few broken or dislocated bones. Nothing major or impressive. But he wounded the egos of several noble Houses in one go. No matter how good you are, there is always someone better, even the best can die in fate's hands. Slowly the crowd around them dispersed and they were left standing alone.
"You're wanted in the Director's office. Come on," he said turning away. Leading him toward the Administratum building.

Ven quickly nodded and got his bags and suit case he was strolling behind him and followed suit. Really normally a house hold servant would of taken it for him but alas no servants was one of the conditions. As well no bodyguard either all Avenor must learn to defend one self without help it was their pride even if it was stupid in Ven's opinion. As he followed Petriel he soon noticed the fine hallways but then making small talk.
"So.... you know my name yet I know not yours.", Ven said trying to figure out who is this guy.

"The uniform is usually a dead give away," Patriel replied dryly as he walked. "Patriel Sarcanus, Marquis of House Sarcanus," He cast a look back at Ven, then looked forward again before speaking. "My House has served alongside yours in the Rieleen War. My Uncle says your House gave a good accounting of itself in space battles."
They soon arrived before the Director's Office.

"Ah now I see it sorry its just I am not the original heir, so I never paid attention to other houses as of late. Since I only been made Marquis only for two days but if I remember it was also the war that lead to the Rise of House Avenor as my Ancestor worked with your House though back then only a mere Knight.", Ven said as he remembered his history lessons.
"Also that is correct out of all the House Fleets ours is probably the smallest but also strongest with the extensive usage of Star Cruisers and Star Battle Cruisers in helping other main fleets in battle. Though if ever attacked by the Imperial Navy we would not stand a chance eh it seems we arrived.", Ven noticed.

"Go on then. Don't stand there, looking at me, like a lost puppy," Patriel said turning and walking away. Really he just didn't like the Director very much.
Just then the Director opened the door to his office. "Young Marquis, come this way," The Director said with a coy smile, beckoning him to enter.

Ven nodded as he entered the room he noticed the different trinkets that reminded him of home. As he walked toward the man he notice he wasn't old as he expected and saw a handsome blonde man with glasses. 'Well this is new... I would of thought he would of been old.'
Alas first things first then soon says, "Uhh thank you as well, sorry for the commotion I might have made you see I am not good with directions with a place I do not even know ha... ha..."
'Great first impression a clueless seventeen year old.... bad to show this to the Director but its the truth!!'
He soon coughed then replies, "I Ven Avenor Marquis of Venrilia is here to officially to register into the Academia Supremus... I take you did receive word yesterday what happened right?"
I know it was extremely short notice since we didn't find out my brother died til then too.... and its been eight years since any of the Avenor parts of the Academia been opened. Knowing I will have no servants or a body guard.... I do hope they didn't open the place as per requested. Because even opening that suppose to be a test....
"Oh also one question why send another Maquis after me? I know House Sarcanus is a bit blunt from what I heard but sending him is a tad bit over kill?", Ven soon asked.

The Director had taken to trying on different rings as Ven spoke and even polishing them. When Ven had finally stopped speaking he looked up at him and smiled.
"Don't worry. These sort of things happen. And yes I received word. Don't worry about registering, it's already taken care of. As to why I sent the Marquis. One can never have too many potential allies..or enemies," He said with a smile and finished with an ominous tone. Suddenly standing he came around the desk and placed a hand on Ven's shoulder leading him toward the door. "My young Marquis, please enjoy your stay at the Academia Supremus. Oh, stay away from the sushi platter, it's quite dangerous."

"I will remember that well Director, though where is exactly IS the Avenor Mansion?", Ven asked.
This time will not be lost and will get to where he needs hopefully without any trouble.

The Director smiled and moved over to a nearby shelf. Taking something from it and then handing it to him. "This data pad has the entire school layout as well as info on our fare city," The Director told him with a pleased manner.

"Ah thank you I guess I will see you around... well likely you are the director.", Ven soon said as he took the data pad.
Moving out of the room he soon grabbed his luggage and followed the Data Pad's directions.
