Flare and John arrived at the Emerald Sharks room, which was a backroom of the audience chamber. There, they see Rhea, Corrin and Azura talking.

"Hello, Miss Rhea! You called for us?" John chirped.

"Yes, I did, Johnny. Now, that all four of you are here..." She stood up and Corrin and Azura stepped back. "We are reaching the end of the month and the Mock Battle is fast approaching. This'll be a great chance to see me what you all can do."

"So we'll be going against the other houses?" Corrin asked with Rhea nodding.

"Normally, the instructors is suppose to led the students but since I'm overseeing the event, I won't be able to lead you."

"It's okay, Lady Rhea." Azura told her. "Corrin will lead us to victory! Speaking of victory..." This caught Rhea's attention as she turned to the singer.

"Yes, Azura?"

"About this problem you've been feeling, are you sure us 4 are enough? We don't know what to expect and we may not be enough..."

"Well..." The archbishop started. "I can call more people from your time period to give a hand. It'll take some time, though." All of their faces shot up at this information.

"You can?" Flare asked.

"Yes, but it requires a lot of magic to use and I don't think I can do it many more times..."

"Just one more is all we need. If you can, try to get in touch with my twin sister, Kamui."

"I will try after the mock battle. For now, you all get ready. We'll leave for the fields in a few hours. Dismissed."

They nodded and leave for the marketplace. As they are walking, Azura got next to Corrin.

"Are you nervous?"

"About this mock battle? Not really, all we have to do is take out the other houses and we win. What I do hope is that she can bring Kamui here..."

"We do need more help when the time comes." Flare added as they arrived at the blacksmith. Corrin and John got new Iron Swords, Azura got an Iron Lance and Flare got an Iron Axe. Once they brought some Vulneraries, they returned to the classroom.

The time for the Garreg Mach Mock Battle has come. All four houses gathered at their designated corners. Corrin, Azura, Flare and John were in their corner, getting ready. Corrin could seeing the archbishop overseeing the event from a nearby cliff. She nods and smiles at him and he returns the nod. He then turns to his teammates.

"Alright, the other houses outnumber us 5 to 4 but as long as we stay together, we'll be fine." He explained.

"Good idea, Lord Corrin." Flare commented, turning to John and Azura. "You two will watch the back while me and lord Corrin will watch the front."

"Sure, big sis!"

"Very well. Let's do this!" They all high-fived and got ready for the signal.

"Let the mock battle..." Seteth shouted. "Begin!"

The houses rushed in to do battle with one another. Corrin's group charged in with John and Azura watching their backs. As the Black Eagles and the Blue Lions duked it out, Claude's group decided to target the Emerald Sharks. When Corrin turned the corner, he sees him, Hilda, Lorenz and Ignatz, all prepared for battle.

"If it isn't the Sharks! Getting a bit scaried to be on the battlefield?"

"No way, we won a war before!" Corrin responded. "Winning a mock battle will be a breeze!"

"Care to put your money where your mouth is, prince?"

"Bring it on!"
