After the Joey incident, lessons became much harder for Nikki, his father seemed to have a growing urgency to get the hell out of being Don before he had to much to deal with. He figured he'd leave that with his son...Nikki. This was fitting perhaps, considering WHY things were escalating.

(Nikki at age 19, current with the rp)
As Giovanni became more swamped with work involving the Belles, he lost the time to teach Nikki anything. So, at age 12, Nikki was sent to a school for assasins, run by a family friend. That of course is the only reason Giovanni agreed to it, he knew that Sinistre Desire wouldn't let Nikki slack off, not by any stretch of the imagination.

(Sinistre Juno Desire, the owner of the Academy for young assasins)
Nikki didn't stay at the Academy very long, actually only three weeks. You could consider him a trouble maker of sorts. He played pranks on all the teachers to express his extreme disdain for going to the school in the first place. Nikki was superior to all the teachers when it came to guns. Nikki was a prodigy when it came to guns. However, Nikki was not so good with knives, particularly katanas. Sinistre Desire wanted to teach him herself, and Nikki went through with it for a few days. He quickly got bored, and did everything he could to screw up Sinistre as she taught him. This infuriated Sinistre and she promptly kicked him out of the school.
