Edelgard and Artoria arrive to the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach. They have 1 week before classes begin to get used to the place and the life they're going to have for the next year.

"I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait! We're going to go to the Officers Academy!" - I said, I simply couldn't contain my excitment about what was happening.

"Hey Artoria, calm down for a little bit, try not to go full fangirl in here" - Edelgard said jokingly as we, joined by both imperial knights and Knights of Seiros, were escolted to the Monastery.

The trip was long, and we've alredy been travelling for about a day and a half. If it wasn't for the fact that we could rest in the carriges every night I swear I would've alredy died from walking too much. It's fine now, the Monastery is so close and I can see it. While I don't really like the church, I have to say they do make some nice buildings.

"Here it is... Garreg Mach Monastery" - Hubert said as he approached both of us - "Lady Edelgard, Lady Artoria, I hope we can enjoy a nice year without problems" -

"Yes, I hope so as well" - Edelgard said with her caracteristic cute smile.

"Remember what we promised Edel, we're not going to be apart" - I said wile smiling.

"Don't worry about it Arty, we're going to be in the same house anyways. The powerful Black Eagle will fly once again" - Edelgard said while changing her smile for a more proud one.

"And I'll make sure of that, with my fighting prowess, no one is going to be able to defeat us!" - I screamed with joy before one of the Knights of Seiros tapped my shoulder and signaled me to keep my voice down.

They're annoying, that's all I'm going to say.

We soon arrived at the entrance to the Monastery, but not before passing trough a small village at the foot of the Monastery. All of the villagers seem to be enchanted by the presence of the Knight of Seiros...

"Hey, Artoria, is everything ok?" - Edelgard asked me. Damn, I can't drown too much in my own toughts like that in the Academy.

"Yes, I'm just... A bit surprised about how they seem to see the Knights of Serios, like they were some kind of divine army" -

"Considering that they're supposed to be the sword and shield of Seiros, you might not be too farfetched, but I see your point" -

After that, we got to the entrance of the Monastery, where we met the leader of the Church of Seiros, Lady Rhea... That thing in her head makes her look like a peacock or something alike, it's funny.

"Hey, why are you laughing?" - one of the Knights asked me.

"Nothing, i just remembered something funny" - I answered a bit nervous about the look he was giving me.

Rhea then go a bit close to all of us students and decided to speak.

"Today, you'll begin the next stage of your life. Here in the Officers Academy, all of you will be prepared for your future, regardless of wether you're a noble or a commoner. Our professors will train you in the matters of combat, magic and command so once you graduate, you'll have all the tools to face whatever the world may throw at you. As always, our Knights of Seiros are more than willin to offer a helping hand to any student that requieres it" -

"Edelgard von Hresvelg, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Claude von Riegan, please take a step forward" - the director of the Officers Academy, Seteth, ordered al 3 of them.

When they got to the front, Rhea started speaking again.

"They 3 will be the leaders of the Black Eagles, the Blue Lions and the Golden Dears respectivly. As the leaders, they'll be the second in command to the teacher and will have to make sure that the values of the Academy live on for another year" -

Edel as the house leader, I like how that sounds. And I shall stand alongside her and help her with her task and...

"Hubert, I'll request your assistance leading the Black Eagles" -

"As you wish Lady Edelgard" -

"Hey, Edel?" -

"Is there a problem Arty?" -

"Oh, nothing, I just thought that we'd command the house together..." -

"I'm sorry about that, but I think we can both agree that Hubert has a bigger... Authority, that's why I'm asking for his help on this one" -

"I get it" -

I might not like it, but she makes a pretty good point on this one. Well, I'll just have to get used to it.

After that little introduction, we entered the Academy and first thing we were directed to the dorms. They were divided into 2 sections, the one downstair was for the commoners and the one upstair was reserved for the nobility. Apparently, they tried to have all of them share the downstairs space but the nobles started to complain.

The Church bending the knee to some nobles, I find that funny.

My room was right to left to Edelgard's one, and it was the first of the dorms for the nobility. It was decorated with a red carpet to simbolize the Adrestrian Empire and fresh new bedsheets. Nice, the first thing I'm going to do after we get settled is get a good sleep in this bed.

"Hey Arty, I'm going to the library after all of this ends, mind joining me?" -

"Yeah, sure" - on second thought, let's do that.

After visiting the dorms, we explored the rest of the Monastery, including the chapel behind the Academy, we were told that we were requiered to practice out faith and signing once every saturday. I'm absolutly not going to do that.

With that, the visit was complete. Rhea told us that we had 1 week to get used to the Monastery's grounds before classes started next monday, and that if we so desired we could go to the village outside.

First thing I did was going to the library with Edelgard. She wanted to study more about Fódlan's history. I, on the other hand, had something different in mind, as I planned to become a master Mage via the study of Reason Magic. My Crest of Macuil gives my magic an extra boost, and if I can combine that with my sword Caliburn, I'm going to wreck havoc on everyone that dares to face me.

This is going to be exciting!

To answer one of the reviews I got: No, Fate Artoria is not going to be the same as 3H Artoria as their lifes were quite different from one another. Also, pretty much the only thing that's going to be carried over from the original one is the muscle memory, which means she's going to have an easier time winning fights because of previous experience, but outside of that she knows nothing of her past life with Shirou and Rin.

Guest review check: ":If the only thing being carried over is muscle memory... kinda defeats the point of reincarnation, in my opinion. I don't really care about artoria remembering HGW events in particular (even though they're instrumental to her character growth), but having her reincarnate without any memories means Fate and 3H arty might as well be totally separate people, raising the question of how and why this is a fate crossover. Artoria pendragon is a character tag for the story, which is misleading as she's basically an OC in this case. The synopsis seemed to suggest that Fate artoria completely took over 3H artoria (didn't recognize whoever greeted her when presumably she awoke in fodlan)"

I didn't wanted to make 3H Artoria too similar to OG Artoria as she was reborn into Fodlan (the scene in the synopsis is actually her being born and the one talking is her mother, probably should've left that a bit clearer) and while they do share similarities, it's a case similar to that one of Lancer Artoria, as they are technically the same person but are also quite different. I hope this helps clarify things a little bit and I'm sorry if you were left dissapointed.
