Byleth, Jeralt enter the scene

I can't believe it. Forced back into the Knights of Seiros.

I'm sorry I dragged you into this. Looks like I'll be stuck here for a while...and I'm afraid your services are requested as well.

Byleth
(I must...work here?)

As a mercenary?
As a servant?

Jeralt

Nothing like that. They want you to teach, by the sound of it.

Jeralt

You heard those brats earlier talking about the Officers Academy, right?

Jeralt

Well, the academy just happens to be short a professor.

Jeralt

And apparently that damned Alois went and recommended you to Lady Rhea.

Manuela, Hanneman enter the scene

Manuela

So. You must be the new professor. My, how stern and handsome you are!

Jeralt

Er, no. I'm not the one you're looking for.

Jeralt

You can handle things from here. Good luck.

Jeralt

And...watch out for Lady Rhea.

Jeralt

I don't know what she's thinking, making you a professor like this. She may be up to something. Stay on your guard.

Jeralt leaves the scene

Manuela

Oh. It's you, then? So young...

Hanneman

Competence and age are not necessarily correlated, as you well know.

Hanneman

I am Hanneman, a Crest scholar and professor at the Officers Academy.

Hanneman

I wonder if you bear a Crest of your own. When next you have a moment to spare, I insist that you pay me a visit so we can delve into the subject further.

Manuela

I'm Manuela. I'm a professor, a physician, a songstress, and available. It's nice to meet you.

You're a physician?
You're a songstress?

Manuela

I look too pretty for that line of work, do I? But yes, when I'm not teaching, I can be found in the infirmary.

Manuela

If you're ever lonely, please do come and pay me a visit. I would love to—

Gain support points with Manuela

Manuela

Of course. Before I came here, I belonged to a renowned opera company.

Manuela

Perhaps you've heard of me? The Mittelfrank Opera Company's beautiful, peerless—

Hanneman

Spare our colleague the needless chatter, Manuela.

Hanneman

Now then, it seems you'll be taking charge of one of the academy's three houses.

Hanneman

I expect you haven't yet been briefed on the nature of each, have you?

Manuela

Do you really not know? Fine, I'll do you a favor and explain.

Manuela

The Officers Academy is comprised of three houses of students, each of which is closely affiliated with its region of origin.

Manuela

The Black Eagle House is for students from the Adrestian Empire.

Manuela

Their house leader this year is Edelgard, the Imperial princess, who is in line to be the next emperor.

Hanneman

The Blue Lion House is for students from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.

Hanneman

Their house leader this year is Prince Dimitri. He is to be the next king of Faerghus.

Manuela

Lastly, there is the Golden Deer House, which is for students of the Leicester Alliance.

Manuela

Their house leader is Claude, grandson to Duke Riegan, the leader of the Alliance.

Hanneman

To think that the next emperor, king, and sovereign duke are all here. It certainly is a promising year for the academy.

Manuela

I'll say. I just hope none of those little treasures cause any trouble.

Hanneman

Hm, quite. For now, I suggest taking a stroll around the academy to get your bearings. And when you've a moment, please stop by my research laboratory.

Manuela

The old man has a point. Oh, and keep in mind that I've only notified the house leaders that you're our new professor. It's more fun that way.

Manuela

I suggest you try spending time with the students. Some odd ducks in that bunch, but they're good kids.

Manuela

I'm sure Lady Rhea will have more information for you tomorrow, but that should get you going. Good luck. You'll need it.

Seteth, Rhea enter the scene

Seteth

Have you no intention of changing your mind, Rhea? Appointing a stranger—a child no less!— as a professor at our esteemed academy is—

Rhea

I have made my decision, Seteth.

Rhea

I know worrying comes naturally to you, but there is truly no need. That "stranger" is Jeralt's flesh and blood, after all.

Seteth

I can't say that's all too comforting. How trustworthy is this Jeralt character? Is he not the man who went missing after the great fire 21 years ago?

Seteth

I would remind you that Flayn is now here with us as well. I beg of you...please consider whether this is an unnecessary risk.

Rhea

Seteth. They have my trust. Let that be enough for you as well.

Rhea

More importantly, I have received a report from Shamir. I am increasingly concerned about a matter regarding our suspicious individual.

Rhea

We cannot ignore those who harbor ill will toward the church, especially if they are frequenting Garreg Mach.

Seteth

Yes, that matter is of great importance as well. I shall continue my investigation.

Seteth

Rhea... For now, I will have faith that you are placing your trust with the utmost care. I pray that nothing occurs to shake that confidence.
