[@Invader Len]

Think about someone who is exactly the opposite of what you would think about someone who studied on a military academy. Lazy, undisciplined, a tendency to ignore hierarchy and orders... He is just there because his family is replete of influent military figures.

His presence is barely tolerated there, until something happens, an accident, that gets him wounded, letting big scars on his face and expelled from the academy. His family wishes to hide his shameful existence from the world, so they throw him in a famous academy away from the eyes of the military community.
