"Students, please welcome two new additions to our grand Academy. Marquis Patriel Sarcanus and Marquis Ven Avenor!" The Instructor said with a gesture of his hand to the two.
Patriel had a slight look of agitation on his face. Bad enough that he had to stand in front of these scheming motherf- He thought about, but then realized his agitated expression was growing and let it go. But he was also agitated by the fact that he had to be introduced alongside Ven after having to intercede so publicly the other day. There was also the matter of what had occurred the day prior.
The day before
"Now... my Uncle typically handled interrogation. He was quite good at the chit chat form of it. But what he truly excelled at is the torture aspect," Patriel said as he set out a kit full of sharp objects. Then looked up at the man he'd tied to a metal chair that he secured to the ground. There was plastic wrapping all around the floor and walls. Calmly he placed a plastic smock over himself. "Well, when I was nine my father decided I should sit on one such event. Please, let's spare both of us the clean up."
The man said nothing, he simply stared up at Patriel. Which made him sigh and then remove the plastic smock.
"Well you don't have to worry about all this. It's just intimidation. I've already placed small nerve stimulaters throughout your body. All I have to do isss." Picking up a data pad, he depressed the images on it, suddenly the man began to writhe in agony. "Every nerve in your body is in agony. So if you want it to stop. You'll tell me what I want to know."
He had to do that for a few minutes before the man gave up the only info he had. Which was that he had been hired by a House to kill Patriel. An hour more of torture yielded nothing. The man's nerves were completely destroyed. So he ended his life with a painless injection of toxin.
Patriel's gaze fell over the noble heirs and others that were gathered. Wondered who had done it.

Ven looked at the different people in front in the class room what a large one at that at least looked like a mini stadium then an classroom from his own home. Regardless he had to come today and still had to get supplies eventually thus forced to not eat as of yet not like anyone would notice. Still he saw the guy next to him which was no other then Patriel Sarcanus from the day before. He did notice a few nobles gave him silent stares. 'Well obviously I practically beat up other nobles yesterday....'
As Ven looked he noticed a few others were looking at him either not caring others nervous but a couple looked at him if they just figured out something.
'Weird... its like they didn't know I was showing I would of thought they knew since the commotion I made.'
Regardless being that of Aurlia he had to do some formalities.
"Hello as you heard I hope we all get a long with this school year.", Ven said trying to be formal.
Still those glares and stars continued.
'Tough crowd...'

"I could really care less what any of you murderers think," Patriel said with a look of annoyance and a bit of pride in being from House Sarcanus. Some of the glares were quickly diverted to him. What they didn't know is that he was recording the entire thing. In fact he had placed a few sensors down as he had walked into the room. He was taking information. Such whose heart beat was faster or body temperature was higher then normal. Casually raising the wounded hand to run across his short hair. His free hand using a small device marked those whose stats changed.
The only problem was that Ven's idiotic display the other day had garnered him a measure of resentment and it was likely throwing off the readings.
"Ahem..well. Umm, I suppose we can begin the class unless anyone has any questions?" The Instructor said a bit unsure after hearing what Patriel had to say.

There was no hand raised but Ven looked at them well others all stared at Petriel one person continue to stare at him. She had green hair and was wearing a uniform of the Academia and not her own family clothing. Short skirt as well but also was wearing stockings and a boot high heels. It was strange she was looking at him deeply then turned her head with the others as soon as he noticed.
'Odd...'
"I do take we take our seats right?", Ven soon asked.

"Please do," The Instructor said with a nod.
Patriel's gaze continued to scan over the students. He eventually sat himself in the back row. He didn't want anyone behind him.

Ven looked around where there was an empty seat and saw a small section of two free seats near the window. on the mid section of the seats. Taking his seat he soon activated his data pad and ready to go. He turned around and looked at the different students around him some of them turn and then back a bit but all maintained.
'Well everything is going good. I hope nothing bad happens now...'

When you hope something bad won't happen... it will.
-
After the group meet with the director, they noticed that they're getting late, mostly because they spent all that time giving out orders to the troops at the dock, so they hurry and storm to their classroom.
By the time the group got everything done and head to the lecture hall, the class seems to have started already, and the door is closed. One choice he could have choose is to knock on the door and wait for a reply before entering, but that takes time, and time is quite valuable too. Another choice is... quite simple.
A simple, well aimed kick, sends the door flying, with the door now opened, it's a perfect timing to enter.
"Whoops, looks like I... knocked on the door too hard, sorry about that hahaha..."
As he say that he just skim through the classroom, looking to see if there's anyone interesting in the room... and someone in the back caught his eye, that widen his smile.
"Well let me introduce myself, some of you might have seen someone like me on... several occasions, but I'm sure it's just a coincident. Probably an illusion or dream that you saw in the rabbles and fire. I'm James Eliot Gransela, I hope we can become... friends, hahaha."
Though, the way he's looking at the other students are more like a wolf looking at sheep than a friendly look, but he could see there's a few 'tougher' ones. Like one of the student sitting in the back row, that's a tough one to chew, but there's no reason to lash out at him, at least not now.

The Instructor further dumb founded by the actions of another student. Turning away from the students, picking up his cup of tea, carefully pulling out a flask and pouring the contents into it. Every year. I swear, they get worse every year. He thought to himself as his hand began to shake a bit.
Patriel watched the new comer. He seemed so showy and arrogant. His kind has it's uses though.. He thought to himself. But then noted that he was looking in his direction. It probably wasn't him that sent the assailant, but I'll double check anyway. Added dismissively in his mind.
"Please, take your seat with the rest of the class.." Said the Instructor sounding tired.
Patriel scratched at the bandages on his wrist. Slowly he leaned back in his chair and cast an indifferent look on the whole scene. Some of the girls were secretly chatting with their data pads. Others were watching videos. This class better yield something of use...

"Damn.... I guess I jinxed myself...", Ven whispered.
Though he noted James was staring at Patriel the entire time he tried to hide his face best he could using his data pad in front of him and trying to play ignorant at the new comer. Still he noticed the Instructor was about to have a nervous breakdown, which is not surprising I mean not one not two but all three big heirs to the three biggest Houses all suddenly show up a month into school term should come at a shock. As he was hiding himself the woman with green hair was staring at him without his notice then turned and saw James disinterested.

Slowly he walks to the back, he nod at Patriel as a show of friendship while he head to his seat, and sit down next to Ven. He then reach over and pat Ven on the back a few times.
"Hey Earl... something, forgot your name. Looks like your arm healed already, better be careful to not break it again, next time it might not heal as well with all those new weapons coming out recently, hahahaha..."
Looks like Ven's hiding would need some work, since James could see him quite clearly when he entered the room, and having someone that fought against you on the battlefield sitting beside you as a "friend" is not all that great.

Patriel returned the nod, with only the slightest of nods. He didn't want associate himself with yet another House. Least of all his. Though he owed his House the nod for their exploits in battle. But they also proved to be a treacherous group that didn't regard loyalty terribly high. He sighed heavily, this all seemed a waste of time, he could do better elsewhere. But there wasn't any choice. There was no leaving for now.

'Don't look this way... Don't look this way... Don't look.."
Til he heard the chair next to him move the entire class were quiet and staring at his direction and where in shock at what he soon said.
'GOD DAMNIT NOT HIM!! WHY?!!'
"Damn that bastard...", Ven whispered so no one heard sadly probably was heard.
"Its Ven Avenor if you will. Oh long time no see Marquis Gransela.... true true except I am now Marquis of Venrilia now by the way how is the knee cap? I do hope I didn't break it too much I take?", Ven replied in a smiling and calm manner.
'THAT ARROGANT JERK!!'
Regardless anyone watching could easily see both parties were not really being friendly and sparks flying everywhere. The green haired woman a couple rows up finally took interest and continued to look at this development.

"Oh it healed quite well with the few ladies with me taking care of me while I was injured. As for the Marquis part... you? That's a pity, your brother was a decent opponent on the field... you, not so much."
He stops look at Ven and towards his own data pad, deciding it's better to spend his time on anything than arguing with the man beside him. But he's still listening, just to see what else Ven could throw his way.

Patriel had taken to compiling his assassment of potential Houses that would try to have him killed. So that he could send it to Sarcanus Intelligence Division. The only secure way to do this seemed like deploying a pod up to the upper atmosphere. A light aircarft carrier was maintaining orbit over the planet and regularly checking for such things. They did so with the approval of the Imperial Navy of course. Who was well aware of their presence.
Fortunately for Patriel the class ended not long after. The Instructor dismissed them and left in a hurry to go to the nearest staff room to get away from the students. Patriel himself went to the nearest window and exited there. He didn't want to deal with any awkward situations or idle chit chat. Scaling down the side of the building with the aide of his hidden wire motor. Came to a stop below and simply went about his business.

'As for the Marquis part... you? That's a pity, your brother was a decent opponent on the field... you, not so much.'
That kept on playing in his head as class ended which made in annoyed beyond belief. As he got up to leave class he ignored James as much as possible and try to get out as other students looked at him as well. Its not common knowledge yet that the original Marquis was dead. In fact it was not yet announced just yet to not cause a panic at the Duchy. It was becoming more tension within as the Duchess has completely been absent from all public viewing for the last year before she would show up during public events or anything. Since then his brother has been the face this pass year which would make anyone nervous. An person they do not even note or care about now their future Duke? Someone who wasn't trained for the job suddenly now has to learn the ropes?
All these things went through his head as he finally got the hallway. Knowing his luck James probably will come out of the hallway soon as well. Without noticing the green haired woman also promptly left but also began to trail him.
Not too far coming down the steps of the hallway another appeared and giving off an aura of hate. William Ralgos watched Ven in comtempt.
