Corrin and Flare charged ahead and the wyvern rider clashed her axe against Lorenz' lance. Corrin swung his sword towards Claude, but he skillfully dodges and gets some distance from the prince. He fired a few arrows at him but Azura shielded him from the shots with her lance.

"Are you okay, Corrin?" His wife asked, looking back at him.

"Yeah! Thanks for the back-up!" He let his guard down. Hilda snuck behind him and knocked him to the ground. He grunted as the lazy girl rose her axe again to strike him. John wasn't having it as he tripped up Hilda and made her fall instead.

"Not happening, Miss!" He pointed his sword at her.

"Why you little...!" Hilda pushed herself up and attacked the young boy, leaving Corrin to recover. He got up and rushed at Claude once again. The archer didn't lose his grin as he fired multiple shots at the prince. He barely dodges them and struck Claude with his iron sword. He got knocked back before Ignatz rushed in and covered his friend. Azura jumped in and scored a critical hit on him.

"Time for your final bow!" She yelled before bringing her lance down on Ignatz, eliminating him. Now Claude was all alone.

"Looks like the power couple got me..." Claude tried to get some distance and fire at them but Corrin, with his speed, kept closing the gap. Corrin grinned as he struck him down with a few swings. Flare and John caught up with their liege.

"Lorenz and Hilda are done!" Flare reported, flashing a big grin.

"We jusr took out Claude so the Golden Deer is done!"

"Let's try to get a sneak attack on the other houses." Azura recommended with the three of them nodding. After a bit of traversing, they see the Black Eagles finishing off the Blue Lions. Corrin also note the new instructor, Byleth, was leading the Eagles.

"Wow, Miss Byleth is amazing..." John gawked at her.

"She and the Black Eagles will be tough to beat. We'll need a plan." Corrin told the group. Flare gripped her axe before turning to her liege.

"I say we stay together and take them head-on. They may have more than us in numbers but we can overpower them as long as we work together."

"Great thinking, Flare. Let's finish this." Azura said as they charged out towards the Black Eagles. Edelgard heard some rustles in a nearby bush and turns to see the Emerald Sharks taking their stance.

"Well, well, well. Didn't expect to see you all make it this far." She complimented, Dorothea, Hubert, Ferdinand and Byleth gathering around. "Here I thought you'll just kneel over."

"We won a war, Edelgard. A mock battle like this is nothing to us!" Corrin told her.

"Well, let's see if that experience will help you here. En garde!" The Black Eagles charged at the Emerald Sharks at full throttle. Corrin went for Byleth, who was backing off from the fight. Dorothea and Hurbert readied their magic and fired fire magic at them. Flare, Azura and John took some hits before Flare firing back at them her own fire magic.

"Woah, nice one, Flare!" Dorothea complimented.

"It didn't occurred to me that you are learning magic as well." Hubert thought out loud.

"Yeah I know a good bit of magic!" John snuck up behind the two and tripped them up. Both Dorothea and Hubert fell to the ground with Flare going in for the kill.

Azura attacked Ferdinand with graceful movement and precision. The noble boy could not keep up with her fast movement as Azura knocked knocked him down.

"Woah, your movement is graceful like water..."

"That is what I'm akin to." She responded before turning to her husband. Corrin and Byleth was having an intense one-on-one, their swords clashing with one another and either of them letting up.

"Ha, Hyah! You're impressive, Byleth!"

"Same to you, prince Corrin...Gyah! Ha!"

Both struggled against each other before Edelgard struck Corrin in the back.

"GAH!"

"You let your guard down, little prince." The empress taunted before raising her axe to strike him again. As she was about to hit him, Flare threw her axe at the two women, knocking them both out.

"Bull's-eye!" She pumped her fist as the others gathered around to help Corrin up.

"That's enough!" Seteth called out. "The winners of the Mock Battle is...the Emerald Sharks!"

The four Sharks cheered and jumped in place.

"Great work, team!" Corrin yelled.

"We make a great team!" Azura commented.

"Great job, little buddy!" Flare hi-fived John.

"Hehe, we did it!"

"Splendid battling, Sharks!" Rhea approached the 4 with a smile on her face. "I say this is a cause for celebration. Back to the monastery!"

"YEAH!"
