Hey Everyone. I wanted to give a shout out that some of the scenes will be similar to my original story with Levi. If you haven't seen it, feel free to look around. There are some scenes I'm gonna skip but you can see them back in the original story with Levi.


October 23

"Students and visitors. Thank you very much for your patience." Towa announced from the speakers somewhere. "Without further ado, I hereby declares the 127th Thors Military Academy Festival open! Enjoy yourselves today and have a wonderful time!"

(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Thors Military Academy Festival)

"Our big moment isn't until tomorrow afternoon." Machias said. "So the best thing we can do today is simply enjoying the festivities and try not to think about the concert."

"That's exactly what I'm gonna do right now." Levi replied. "There's a lot of fun to be had here and I'm gonna engage in all of them!"

"I wish I have your positivity, Levi..." Emma groaned. "Well, I'm sure some of us have club obligations to attend to today. So perhaps we should each just do our own thing. Though it would be a good idea to meet in the auditorium at the end of the day to check all of our equipment for tomorrow."

Elliot agreed. "Yeah, I need to find out when our orbal instruments are going to be taken in."

"And we'll need to do a little bit of tuning, at the very least." Crow said.

Alisa nodded. "That sounds fine."

"A musician has to keep her instrument in top condition, just like a warrior does her weapon." Laura added.

Millium hummed. "Huh, I'm surprised everyone's so calm."

"After all we been through and practices, why shouldn't we be?" Levi asked

"Becuase I was talking about the big news from Crossbell yesterday."

"Their declaration of independence?" Fie asked.

Levi frowned. "Millium, you have a habit of saying things at the wrong time."

"It's certainly grounds for concern, but at this point, I don't think the reality of it has sunk in for me yet." Machias added. "Honestly, I can't see the new Crossbell Defense Force as much of a force to be reckoned with, either."

"I say let them talk. Talk is cheap after all. Pride and independence are things one acquires through hard work." Jusis said. "A verbal deceleration holds little weight on its own, especially if they end up reneging on it soon after."

Laura hummed. "That's certainly true."

"Crossbell will still be there in two days, but right now, we've got a festival to focus on." Rean said. "We've got people here from all over the country and we owe it to them to show them a good time."

"With all the uncertainty in the world lately, that's all the more reason to try and help people forget their troubles." Elliot said. "Especially since our families, as well as our friends, will be coming to visit tomorrow."

Everyone nodded knowing the Bros, Peach, Daisy, Aether, Kazuha, Mona, Fichel, Byleth and the others.


October 24...

The second day of the school festival had arrived and Class VII couldn't get over what they had seen last night. The mystery behind the old schoolhouse seemed to had been temporarily solved. Espcually with the discovery of the Divine Knight Valimar. Class VII are standing on stage inside the auditorium and how empty it was... but it won't later on.

"Good, good. This shouldn't feel any different than our rehearsals." Elliot said. "The only difference is that all of that space out there will be filled with a crowd of people."

"But that's the worst part." Emma whimpered.

"Oh, nonono. You're not getting out of this one." Alisa said to Emma.

"A girl's gotta be brave." Fie added.

"Same for us guys." Levi sighed.

"Hoo-rah! Time to go out there and knock those boys dead with a sexy wink!" Millium cheered

'You're not even close to being sexy!' Levi thought

"Jusis, Machias, how're you guys feeling?" Gaius asked

"I'm fine... about everything except this pairing." Machias answered

"Well, at least we agree on something." Jusis muttered

"Heh. If you've got the energy to bicker, we've got the energy to do this show." Rean nervous smile

"Looking at us now, we'd never guess at the ordeal we went through last night." Laura replied

"You're tellin' me." Crow sighed "Well, for now, you just stay focused on the concert. Your families should be here pretty soon, right?" he asked

"O-Oh, is it that time already?" Alisa asked.

"Yeah, I guess it IS almost time for my dad to show up." Machias answered.

Gaius hummed. "I guess I'd better go out to meet my brother."

"I guess I should excuse myself as well." Laura said.

"Okay, see you all for the main event." Elliot added.

"Oh, but what about our friends?" Levi asked.

"Oh that's right, they should be here today." Alisa nodded.

"The Mario Bros, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Aether, Kazuha, Mona, Fischel, Byleth and his friends." Rean rub his chin. "Acually, leave this one to me. I'll go greet them. I bet they're at the entrance. Give my best to all your families."

"All right, good luck everyone." Emma said and then everyone except Levi and Emma split up.


Meanwhile in the entrance of Thors...

The Mario Bros, Peach, Dasiy, Byleth, his students, Hanneman and Manuela. Aether, Mona, and Kazuha arrived at the entrance to Thors.

Peach let out a giggled. "Wow. So this is Thors Academy Festival." She said while looking around. "What a lively place. It was so kind that Class VII invited us. Although I hope I don't cause quite the commotion."

"That goes for all of us. Espcually since we're in a foreign land." Byleth smiled. "Don't forget everyone. Be on your best behaviors."

"Of course Professor." Dimitri nodded.

"Everyone, glad you can make it." A voice called out to them and then appeared Rean.

"Rean." Peach smiled. "Oh? Where's everyone else?"

"They all came to greet their families. I'm glad you can make it." Rean smiled before noticing one is missing. "Huh? Where's Fischel?"

"Fischel had to decline due to certain reasons. But she send you her regrets." Mona answered.

"And we heard you guys have been battling the alien race known as the Shroobs awhile back. I wish we could have join the fight." Edelgard said.

"Still, we're glad to know you're safe." Dimitri smiled. "By the way, this is quite the festival going on here. We had something similar but not completely back in Garreg Mach."

"Oh, what's that?" Rean asked.

"Well, it's actually a Ball. You know Food and dance, stuff like that. But nothing exciting as this. So thanks for inviting us." Claude wink.

"Are you all doing well for the concert?" Aether asked.

"It's going well so far. We managed to practice everything and during our vacation." Rean answered. "Just nervous on the main part. Allow me to give you all the tour of Thors."

"We'll take your offer." Peach giggled.

"All right, let's go." Rean said and then he begin to give his friends the tour. Then they ran into Towa. "Hey, Towa."

"Hey Rean." Towa greeted in the counter. "Oh! Are these your friends from the Mushroom Kingdom?"

"And one from Fodlan."

"It's nice to meet you all." Towa got up and bow gracefully. "My name is Towa Herschel. I'm the Student President here in Thors. Oh, and to those who don't know what that means, it generally means the highest-ranking officer of a student union. Or in other words, represents the entire student body, as well as the entire student council. The president is responsible for running council meetings and is in charge of organizing all student council activities. Working with students to resolve problems, and informing school leaders and the student council of ideas emanating from the class. The president also has the responsibility of leading class cabinet meetings and organizing student activities and events."

"So it's like a House Leader or what Seteth is doing but from a higher standard." Claude said. "Talk about a big responsibility going there."

"Hehehe, thank you for the concern. But no worries. I had plenty of help. It's very nice to meet you all."Are you giving them the tour Rean?"

"That's right. I might run into my classmates along the way as I give the tour." Rean said.

"Hehe. In that case, have fun, I hope you enjoy our festival. And if there's anything you need help, feel free to come to me." Towa smiled

"Thank you miss Herschel." Edelgard smiled.

"Okay, follow me." Rean said as he and everyone else follow him as he gives the tour of the Academy. On his way he met up with Sara and Toval near the area of the Old Schoolhouse. "Hey Toval, Intructor."

"Yo, Rean. Oh, Princess Peach, Princess Dasy, the Mario bros and the others I've met. It's been awhile. And who are these fine ladies and gentlemen with you."

"Hello. My name is Byleth. With me is my colleagues Manuela and Hanneman. And the others in uniforms are our students." Byleth greeted

"Hello, Sara. Were we interrupting something?" Manuela asked.

"Nah. We're just talking about swapping some info." Sara answered. "It involve something going on in Zemuria at the moment. Tension is rising in a state called Crossbell, and the forecast doesn't look pretty. That's why we need to keep up the date as possible on what's going on."

That make sense..." Rean nodded. "Wait, swapping info. With who?"

"Toby! Long time no see!" A voice called out and then approached a man name Micht.

Afterward, they decided to continue with the Tour. They continue walking around until they arrived at school building where Laura, Klause and Victor are here.

"It's been awhile Rean. And who are these people with you." Victor Arseid wondered.

"Is that you Felix?" Laura asked.

"Nice to see you as well Laura. And This must be your father?" Felix asked.

"Indeed he is."

"Ah, so you're Felix. Laura told me about you. A student who devoted honing his swordsmanship." Victor amuse. "And these with you are your classmates?"

"That's right. A pleasure to meet you." Dimitri bow. "My name is Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Crown Prince in the Holy Kingdom of Faergus, in the continent of Fodlan. And with my are my classmates. As well as other students from Houses of the nation."

Soon every one of them introduces themselves.

"The pleasure is mine, guests of Erebonia. My name is Victor S. Arseid. I'm a Viscount of Erebonia. I'm a swordsman but headmaster of the Arseid School. Many know me as the Radiant Blademaster."

And they continue to talk and then leave them alone for the time being as they continue the tour. The Library, the Student Union Building, the Gymnasium, the Academy Field, the Engineering Building, and the Main Building of Thors. They met with Rufus, Carl, Jusis, and Machias along the way. Alisa, Irina, Sharon and Gwen. As Rean explain about the Academy as well as the clubs. They eventually run into Elliot and his family.

"Elliot, my sweet boy! Why do you shrink from your father's loving embrace?!" Craig exclaimed.

"B-Because it's embarrassing!" Elliot answered "Fiona, a little help, please?"

Fiona giggled. "This is the first time we've been together in so long! It wouldn't be right for me to intrude on your bonding time."

"Hey Elliot." Annette called out as she and everyone else appoached them.

"Ah, Annette, you made it!" Elliot cheered.

"And who are these fine ladies and gentlemen?" Craig asked.

"They're our guests from a different continent called Fodlan and the Mushroom Kingdom." Rean said as he introduce everyone.

"It's nice to meet you. Were we interrupting your family time Elliot?" Annette asked

"No, but you did came at a good time." Elliot smiled.

"Did I? I'm glad I made it. Sorry I couldn't come yesterday."

"No need to worry. I bet you were getting permission."

"Hehehe, So Elliot, you and Annette seem pretty close aren't you?" Fiona said with a grin.

"We are actually. Well..." Elliot light blushed along with Annette. "Should we tell them?"

"I'm okay with it if you are." Annette answered with a light blushed.

"Oh my... Could it be... you two are dating?" Fiona guessed.

"And you guessed it." Elliot sighed. "Dad, Fiona, this is my girlfriend Annette."

"Nice to meet you both. Elliot told me about you two."

"Elliot my boy! You grow up so fast! She's absolutely adorable!" Craig said with his arms spread before he begin to sob. "Ooh, my little boy is growing up... He found himself a lovely girl!"

"D-Dad!" Elliot exclaimed as he and Annette blushed red and sweatdrops.


An hour later...

After giving the tour and showing the activities. Many of the students of Thors greeted the guests. And then Elise was waiting at the Entrance.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Rean said.

"Oh, Rean." Elise said as she approached her brother as he notice two pokemon are with Elise. It was an Oddish and Chikorita. "Huh? Are they pokemon?"

"That's right. I met them during my time in the Mushroom Kingdom. Oddish and Chikarita. Aren't they adorable?" Elise giggled.

"Chika!" Elise's Chikarita cheered.

"Oddish!" Elise's Oddish cheered.

"That's great. I hope you been taking good care of them. Wait, how come I didn't see them back home?" Rean asked.

"Oh, they were in my room at the time. I forgot to introduce you to them." Elise explained then she notice something. "Is something the matter? You look awfully tired... Did something happen?"

"Haha... You can tell, huh? I was running all over yesterday. Mainly rehearsals for our concert today, and some other... test last night."

Elise eyebrow. "Tests? During the festival?"

"And giving Princess Peach and the others the tour of the academy."

"Oh, Princess Peach is here?"

"That's right, you met her before, right?" Rean asked.

Elise nodded. "I have. She's someone I admire and respect. I wish I could talk with her more."

"Well, if you like, you can talk with her now."

"Very well. At any rate. It seem thing's aren't going so easy for you here. Maybe you should go get some rest. You have your concert coming up this afternoon, after all. I can look around on my own just fine... through Honestly, if you're not feeling fell, I'd rather take care of you."

"It's nothing to worry yourself over, really." Rean smiled as he pet his sister's head. "I got enough sleep last night to keep me going strong today. If I tried to rest now, it might actually sap my energy. Besides, you came all the way out from Heimdallr to visit! I'd rather spend the day with you instead. I can only hang out till noon, though. After that, we've got our final prep for the concert."

"Rean..." Elise smiled.

"Chika!"

"Oddish!" Both of Elise's Pokemon nodded.

"All right, if you insist. If you want to keep me company that much, I'd be happy to olidge." Elise said as she clear her through. "Okay, Chikarita, Oddish, make sure you stay close to me, all right?"

Chika/Oddish!" Both of her pokemon cheered as they begin to head to the festival.

(BGM ended)


A few hours later...

It was around the afternoon and Class VII were all dressed up, They watch Class I's opera performance come to an end. Soon later on, Class VII begin to do their concert. The first song was a duo with Machias and Jusis. After that was Emma. Every one of them had a part in the last one. The encore audience wanted the feeling of performing. Princess Peach, Mario Bros, Dasiy, and everyone else clapping for them as the others smile. While Annette feels like she's in love again. Meanwhile watching the scene was a black cat with a blue bow ribbon and a woman with classes. But hiding from the shadow was a young man.

"Hehe... That 'child of mine' certainly arrived in an interesting part." The young man said as he begin to walk away.
