You're kidding! Come on, Teach, I need you to keep it together for me. Don't lose focus when it counts.

You're kidding! Didn't Rhea or Seteth fill you in? Guess I have to do everything myself around here.

The Battle of the Eagle and Lion is one of the academy's annual traditions. It's a huge mock battle between the three rival houses.

But you know all about rivalry battles, Professor. There was one right after you got here, remember?

I hear the Battle of the Eagle and Lion will be held in Gronder Field, far away from Garreg Mach.

The house that defeats the most opponents wins. It's a three-way battle that relies heavily on strategy. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Hey, Claude, what about Professor Manuela? Do you think she'll be able to join us despite her injuries?

I'm afraid she's sitting this one out, as is Professor Hanneman.

"As my persistent rival will not be present, it only goes to follow that I must also sit out this year's battle. Now leave me be, Claude!"

If it isn't our own Professor Manuela! All things considered, you're looking well.

Thanks to all of you. But I'd only be a burden out there. My students don't need to see me collapsed. Well, not on the battlefield, anyway.

Does that mean you really won't be joining us for the battle?

Correct, we will not be participating. Regardless, do not expect victory to come easily. Or at all.

Well put. We've spent the past few months pushing our students to their limits. You can see me in the infirmary after they destroy you.

Oh my, look at you. If you're as confident as all that, my students will walk all over you.

We have taught our students well. There is no need to hold back. Challenge them with everything you have!
