Rhea

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.

Claude enters the scene

Byleth enters the scene

Claude
volume_up

Hey, Teach. I gotta say, I never would've guessed you were a descendant of the King of Liberation.
link
Claude
volume_up

You didn't forget, did you? That story I told you about a Relic that could cut a mountain in half?
link
Claude
volume_up

That Relic was the Sword of the Creator! The very same used by Nemesis, the King of Liberation.
link
Claude
volume_up

Don't be coy, Teach. The Sword of the Creator could only be wielded by Nemesis.
link
Claude
volume_up

If you can use it too, that can only mean you have that bloodline's Crest.
link
I don't understand.
link
Claude
volume_up

Fine, keep your secrets. But just so you know, "I don't understand" isn't gonna cut it here at the monastery.
link
Claude
volume_up

Speaking of, Professor Hanneman has been looking for you.
link
Claude
volume_up

He probably wants to examine your Crest with those crazy instruments of his. Actually...sounds amusing. Maybe I'll tag along.

Judith enters the scene
link
Judith
volume_up

If it isn't my little Claude! What has you so worked up?
link
Claude
volume_up

Judith?! What are you doing here?
link
Judith
volume_up

That's Lady Judith to you, boy. I told you, until you're in charge, I expect you to address me with all due respect.
link
Judith
volume_up

Anyway, I'm here to retrieve you. Duke Riegan's condition has taken a turn for the worse.
link
Claude
volume_up

Are you saying the old man's on his death bed?
link
Judith
volume_up

No, it's not that bad. But in the state he's in, he won't be able to participate in the next roundtable conference.
link
Judith
volume_up

He wants you to go in his stead. I volunteered to play the messenger.
link
Claude
volume_up

Well, thanks for that. Oh, and Teach, this is Judith. Also known as the Hero of House Daphnel.
link
Judith
volume_up

So you're little Claude's teacher, are you? How much trouble has he been giving you?
link
Claude
volume_up

If her nickname didn't give it away, you should know that Judith...er, Lady Judith is the leader of the famous House Daphnel of the Leicester Alliance.
link
Claude
volume_up

She used to be a big deal at the roundtable conferences, but it seems of late she's been reduced to a mere—
link
Judith
volume_up

You had better shut that mouth before I put my boot in it, you tactless nuisance! Now come on. Let's get going.
link
Judith
volume_up

Sorry, Professor, but I need to borrow the boy for a bit.
link
Claude
volume_up

I suppose we'll have to finish our chat later. Sorry, Teach.
link
Claude
volume_up

But don't you worry. I'll be back in time for our next mission. All right, Judith. Let's get going.
link
Claude leaves the scene
link
Judith
volume_up

It's Lady... Ah, I suppose you are the active leader for the time being. Fair enough, boy. Fair enough.

Judith leaves the scene

Hanneman enters the scene

Byleth enters the scene
link
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.
