Great timing, Professor! I was just going to come find you.

Raphael

Are you busy? I have a question about formations.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I don't understand them at all.
link
Raphael

Are the speed of battle and the terrain connected somehow? There's too much to memorize!
link
You don't have to remember everything.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I don't? Then what do I have to know?
link
Raphael
volume_up

I think I understand the basics. To start, you just...
link
Raphael
volume_up

Ah! OK. I think I've got it!
link
Raphael

Thanks for the help, Professor! Brains and brawn, you've really got it all.

Raphael

With your help, I should have no trouble becoming a proper knight!
link
Why do you want to be a knight?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Huh? Didn't I tell you?
link
Raphael

My parents were merchants of the Alliance. They died in an accident.
link
Raphael

That's why it's up to me to look after my little sis.
link
Raphael

I'm not great with bookkeeping, so I don't think I'd make a good merchant.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I talked to Grandpa and he suggested I become a knight.
link
Raphael

So I sold all our valuables and used the money to pay my way into the academy.
link
Raphael

My sis won't survive if I get kicked out, so I can't give up now!
link
Raphael
volume_up

I might have tried being a mercenary if I didn't have my little sis to look after.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I probably shouldn't say this, but being a mercenary does sound like an easier life.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Mercenaries have no responsibilities, and no one else to worry about.
link
Raphael
volume_up

But someone's gotta take care of my little sis, so that's out of the question.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Serving as a knight in a noble house is more secure, and you don't have to worry about dying...unless there's a war.
link
Raphael
volume_up

My sis has been through so much. I don't want her to have to worry about me.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Hey. Do you have any siblings, Professor?
link
No.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Then you probably think I'm missing out on my freedom, having to support her, huh?
link
Raphael
volume_up

But working hard for my sister isn't too bad.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Call it a burden, call it a challenge. If it makes my sister happy, I'm happy too!
link
Raphael
volume_up

You should ask your father to have some more kids!
link
Raphael
volume_up

You've got my sympathy. Really. Not having any siblings, I mean.
link
Raphael

Anyway, that's why I've got to become a proper knight!
