The Battle of the Eagle and Lion... Its name comes from the war in which the Kingdom won its independence from the Empire.

It's imperative that we fight our best. We must live up to the legacy of the King of Lions.

Have you had any, Professor? You'd better eat up before it's all gone!

After the Battle of the Eagle and Lion, a prize is awarded to the winner by the archbishop herself.

Monk
volume_up

It's a three-way battle, so you can't waste too much time just observing. You have to jump right in there.

Monk
volume_up

You have to be proactive and defeat the most opponents. Do that, and it's quite possible the archbishop will recognize how strong you are.

Monk
volume_up

Ah... Great memories. I was a student here many years ago. I know what I speak of.

Along with Flayn, we found another female student who went missing last year.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

But now the combat professor, Jeritza, has vanished.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

His origin begged many questions, so there were plenty of objections to his appointment here.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

He is apparently from House Hrym of the Empire, but he was adopted from another family. Or so they say...

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Anyway, there hasn't been much good to be said about House Hrym in recent decades.

The Death Knight's true identity... Personally, I don't think it could be Jeritza.

Squire
volume_up

He taught me swordsmanship...

Squire
volume_up

He said I had talent and the potential to get pretty strong.

Squire
volume_up

He was a little scary, of course...but it's hard for me to believe he's a bad person.

Oh, hi, Professor. Have you heard the rumor about the Goddess Tower?

Student
volume_up

Well, there's an annual ball here the month after next, during the Ethereal Moon.

Student
volume_up

They say if a boy and a girl wish for something together at the Goddess Tower on that night, the goddess herself will grant it!

Student
volume_up

I don't know where the rumor started, but it's a great story, isn't it?

The Battle of the Eagle and Lion is almost here. Time certainly is strange.

Yuri
volume_up

All this really has me feeling nostalgic. Back when I was in the academy, I took part in the battle too.

Yuri
volume_up

The Blue Lions. Back then, I was living with Kingdom nobility as an adoptee.

Yuri
volume_up

We won the battle by a mile. But how we came to that victory is my little secret.

Yuri
volume_up

Lady Rhea still watches the battle, yeah? Best of luck to you, friend.

link
Yuri
volume_up

Whoever you are, it doesn't matter much to me. But I do advise getting out of here before you get tangled up in trouble.

Yuri
volume_up

Unless you've been sent here under someone's orders. In which case, I'll happily show you a good time. Heh heh...

Yuri
volume_up

Hmmm. You're that mercenary turned professor, aren't you? The one who showed up at the monastery kinda recently.

Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, you're the one I've heard so much about. Well, I guess it's fine you're here, then.

Yuri
volume_up

You can call me Yuri. You'll want to remember that, if you ever come down here again.

I hear I'm free to join in. My heart's full to bursting! My muscles too, but that's pretty normal for me.

Balthus (Recruited)

This is big, pal. The Legendary King of Grappling's triumphant return. The other houses won't know what hit 'em!

Balthus
volume_up

Haven't seen your face before. You're clearly not from around here.

Balthus

Ah, you're that new teacher everyone's been yapping about. And yet...you look younger than me. Weird.

Balthus

The name's Balthus. Formerly of the Alliance.

That young lady, Monica...might she be Baron Ochs's daughter?

We're not acquainted, but I have heard tell that the baron has a daughter roughly her age.

Despite my current circumstances, I was born into House Nuvelle, one of the preeminent houses of the Empire. Didn't you know?

There isn't much of my house left to speak of, but mark my words, someday it shall return in glory!

Speaking of Baron Ochs and those recent goings-on in the Imperial capital...there's no link there, I trust?

Constance
volume_up

Do you suppose word of her father passing away has already reached Monica?

link
Constance
volume_up

And who might you be? Not an Abyssian, that much is clear at a glance.

Constance
volume_up

A visitor from above, perhaps? With what purpose?

Constance
volume_up

Oh...but of course. You must be the new teacher specially appointed by Lady Rhea. That is it, yes?

Constance
volume_up

Rumors have been flying underground about you. Well, then! I am Constance von Nuvelle.

Constance

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Ahaha!

Who are you? Wait, shut up, let me guess.

Hapi

You're...that new professor, right? You just started teaching up on the surface.

Hapi

Even here, people have been talking about you. Not that the gossip got everything right.

I heard you were beautiful, but obviously that was an exaggeration.

Abyss? You're interested in that place, are you?

Anna

Ancient sprawling remains deep below Garreg Mach... That's Abyss.

Anna

Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.

Anna

But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.

Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report.

You're wondering where Mr. Backup is, aren't you? Figured you'd want an update. Or report, if you will. He's gone. Other duties or some such nonsense.

Abysskeeper

But he'll be back, right? I bet so... I think he liked this place? Especially the company... We really had something... Hm, he'll miss it. Just you wait and see.

Hey, you. You're from up top, right? What business do you have here?

Wait a minute... Ah, got it. You're that new professor, aren't you? I suppose that means I have to let you pass.

I guess...welcome to Abyss! This town is full of rough-and-toughs, so watch your back down here.

I've been gone from the monastery for some time now because... Well, it matters not.

Might I...ask a favor of you?

Monk

Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?

Monk

I am certain she'd be deeply moved to receive a gift from you.

Please, look after Jeralt. She'd have wanted that.
