I have a new mission for you, Professor.
link
Rhea
volume_up

I would like for you to take your students into Kingdom territory to eliminate some thieves.
link
Seteth
volume_up

They stole a Hero's Relic from House Gautier of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus—the Lance of Ruin.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Their leader's name is Miklan. He is apparently a disowned son of House Gautier.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I believe it had something to do with his lack of a Crest. Such happenings are fairly common within the Kingdom.
link
Rhea
volume_up

The Crestless cannot unleash the goddess's power, even if they possess a Relic. Nonetheless, they are still capable of simply wielding those weapons.
link
Seteth
volume_up

This skirmish involves a holy Relic, and is therefore more than a single noble is capable of resolving.
link
Seteth
volume_up

The Heroes' Relics are immensely powerful weapons. We must meet this threat with adequate force.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Unfortunately, most of the Knights of Seiros are away from the monastery purging the apostates of the Western Church.
link
Seteth
volume_up

So we are entrusting you with this mission. After all, you wield the Sword of the Creator, which is more than capable of opposing any Relic.
link
Rhea
volume_up

The Sword of the Creator is a powerful weapon, well beyond the other Relics. You have nothing to fear.
link
Rhea
volume_up

However, to ensure that no harm comes to the students, we will also send the monastery's most skilled individuals to aid you.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I must remind you that you are expected to conduct yourself in a manner befitting the wielder of that holy sword.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Also, you should know that Professor Hanneman has been looking for you. That is all.

Edelgard

Professor, I heard about our mission for this month.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

A thief with a Hero's Relic is worrisome, but with you at our side, I'm certain we can handle him.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

After all, you have the Sword of the Creator. It was allegedly wielded by Nemesis, the King of Liberation.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

If the legends are true, you hold the power to stand against entire armies. A band of thieves should be nothing.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Even the most elite Imperial forces or the Knights of Seiros could not hope to defeat you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I'm just marveling at the potential. Besides, your power does not lie solely in the Sword of the Creator.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Is that so? Even if those forces were to hurt someone precious to you?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Can you say with full confidence that you would not turn your sword on them if that were to happen?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You know, your power does not lie solely in the Sword of the Creator.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You are stronger and more terrifying than you realize.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Professor... When we leave the monastery, will you still think of yourself as my teacher?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Never mind. I'm being thoughtless with my words.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

For now, let's just focus on the problem at hand.

Hanneman
volume_up

Good of you to come, Professor. I've heard much about you lately.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Specifically, that you were able to awaken the Sword of the Creator's power. Thusly, it seems the true nature of your Crest has been uncovered.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I had, of course, seen your Crest before. However, at first, I failed to recognize its true nature.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Eventually, it dawned on me that what is visible is perhaps merely a small part of a greater whole.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

In other words, your Crest is too significant to be detected when using normal instruments.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

After this discovery, I began researching Crests that might fit that description, which allowed for a temporary hypothesis.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

However, I could not be certain. The Crest my conclusions led me to was far too unusual.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

A Crest thought to have disappeared from this world in the millennium since the fall of Nemesis, the King of Liberation.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

The Crest of Flames. That is what you possess.
link
The Crest of Flames...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Your ability to wield the Sword of the Creator has unequivocally proven my hypothesis.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

A legendary power, dormant since time immemorial, and now resurrected...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

There can be no doubt that this ancient power resides within you.
