3rd Person POV

White Clouds

Day 5 of the Wyvern Moon

Bambietta sees Sylvain walking up to her. "Hey, Professor. You're looking lovely as ever~" Sylvain flirted. "Are you working today? You gotta take a day sometime. Get out in the world and have some fun."

"You know, that's not a bad idea~" Bambietta replied.

"Right? Sometimes you gotta forget all the things you oughta do and focus on what you'd rather do. Hey, we should go get something to eat. My treat." Sylvain declared.

"...What are you after?" Bambietta asked, crossing her arms in suspicion.

"What? I can't invite my professor to dinner without it being a scam? Heh! I...ah... OK, fine. You got me. I need to ask a favor, and I wanted a way to work up the courage to ask you." Sylvain told.

"...Is this about a girl?"

"No, for once it's not about a girl."

"Oh, thank god..." Bambietta sighed in relief. "So what is it this time?"

"There are thieves in my family's territory. I was wondering if you'd go with me to drive 'em off. You remember the thief leader you fought at Conand Tower, yeah?" Sylvain raised his question.

"Conand Tower? Weren't you there too?"

"I was, but please focus, Professor." Sylvain asked of.

"I remember... I think it was your brother, Miklan." Bambietta said.

"That's right. Although he's dead now... What's left of his band of thieves is causing trouble in Gautier territory. My father has asked me to come home and put down those murderous jerks. But he's asked for me to come alone-no knights, no backup of any sort. That's crazy, right?"

"Uh, YEAH, that's crazy! Why just you!?" Bambietta exclaimed, angry at Sylvain's father for asking of such a thing.

"Because he thinks he'd lose face asking the church for help. I don't know. He could have asked another trusted house to send troops, but he only asked me. And the way my father is...he probably has some other motive that I'll never know. Maybe he just wants me to get some more experience in battle. Crazy way to suggest it though." Sylvain pointed out.

"I'LL SAY!" Bambietta yelled.

"Anyway, I'm not going alone, no matter what he asks. I'm going to ask some of the others in our class to help too. But none of us have your experience. If you'd come with us, I'd be grateful." Sylvain told as Bambietta looks at him weirdly. "...What? I admit, I'm a pervert, but I'm not stupid, reckless, or suicidal."

Bambietta sighs. "I'll get the students ready."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Great! I'll talk to the others and see who's in. Thanks, Professor!"


Battlefield - Gautier Territory

Bambietta POV

We're at the battlefield now. Okay. So, I have myself and Sylvain deployed by default, so I can't make adjustments there.

I decided to bring Constance, Hapi, Lorenz, Ignatz, Bernie, Ashe, Linhardt, Raphael, and Flayn with me. Hilda is my Adjutant.

I replenish the battalions that were demoralized to full morale.

I buy some shields for some of my students and I buy Flayn some weapons.

I then get myself a Steel Bow from my Convoy before changing back to my Priest class to work on my magic.

Okay. We're ready.

"OK, we've got the thieves covered on both sides. Some of the thieves are still carrying what they stole, so we have a chance to get it back. Gotta be careful though. They'll run off faster than a nobleman's daughter if we just rush in. Target the strongholds to cut off their escape routes." Sylvain asked of.

Kill the guys next to the strongholds. Got it.

Sylvain starts off by attacking a Mercenary with his Gambit Assault Troop which hits him and the Armored Knight behind him. He then grows in strength, speed, luck, defense, and charm. "Oh, before I forget, my father's offering a reward for every thief and rogue we take out. The more you beat, the more you get. Just remember, you gotta take them out fast. They'll bolt as soon as they're hurt. Take the strongholds and we cut off their escape route."

We'll have to defeat the thieves before they retreat to get rewards based on how many we defeat. Hmm... How many rewards do we get if we defeat them all? Heh. Hopefully, there's only one way to find out~

I attack another Mercenary with Assault Troop, hitting another Armored Knight that was behind him. I also defeat said Mercenary.

Ashe hits a Brigand twice.

Bernie hits a Mage.

Lorenz finishes off the Mage with Sagittae. He grows in maximum life energy, magic, dexterity, defense, and resistance.

Raphael hits a Brigand twice, but the Brigand counters twice.

Ignatz hits an Archer who hits him back.

Hapi finishes off that archer and grows in maximum life energy, strength, dexterity, and resistance.

The rest of my students advance.

Another archer attacks and hits Hapi.

The Mercenary in front of Sylvain hits him, but was defeated by Sylvain.

The Brigand hits Raphael again, but Raphael defeats him before he could do a second attack. Raphael grows in dexterity, luck, and charm.

A brawler attacks Raphael four times, but didn't deal any damage.

Another brawler attacks Ashe four times, but all four attacks miss him. Ashe counters the brawler. The Brigand tries his luck, but it ran out like his life when Ashe countered.

Another mage attacks Lorenz twice, but Lorenz dealt more damage.

Raphael defeats the brawler that attacked him.

Linhardt attacks the brawler that attacked Ashe and hits him.

Flayn finishes off the brawler.

Hapi hits the archer that hit her with Miasma Delta.

Constance finishes that archer off.

Bernie defeats the mage that attacked her.

Lorenz goes to attack a thief leader that is also a Dark Mage. "Gah... I'm not sticking around here to get slaughtered by a bunch of stuck up jerks like you!" The thief leader exclaimed. Lorenz hits the dark mage with Tempest Lance. However, the dark mage deals damage comparable to the damage Lorenz dealt with his magic: Banshee Theta.

Ashe hits another thief leader, who was a Brigand, twice. He then grows in dexterity and luck.

Sylvain defeats another Armored Knight.

I heal Raphael.

The rest of my students advance.

The dark mage Lorenz attacked hits him again. Lorenz counters but misses the second attack.

Another Brigand attacks and hits Bernie before getting countered and missing the second attack. Bernie grows in strength, dexterity, speed, defense, and charm.

Linhardt heals Lorenz with Physic.

Bernie finishes off the Brigand that failed to defeat her.

Lorenz hits another Tempest Lance then grows in maximum life energy, magic, dexterity, luck, and resistance.

Ashe hits the Brigand twice again.

I hit a commanding Armored Knight with Fire twice.

Sylvain goes for the Armored Knight I damaged. "Hey, I know that face. You're the boss's little bro, right?" The armored knight asked.

"I'm sorry to say it, but yeah, I'm his brother. And he's led you into a bad spot." Sylvain boasted. "Anyway, your boss is dead. So this is your chance to disband this little thief gang of yours."

"Quiet, fool! You think I have any other choice but to be a thief?"

"Well, it's probably on me for making such a stupid request."

Sylvain finishes off the armored knight and grows in maximum life energy and dexterity. "OK, that'll do it. This exit route is blocked off. Very good. Now, let's keep cool and take out the other strongholds.

Lorenz misses his attack after getting hit, leading him to get hit twice and getting no progress.

A mercenary attacks Raphael, but deals no damage and ends up getting countered.

Raphael finishes the mercenary off before growing in maximum life energy, strength, dexterity, speed, luck, and defense.

Ashe misses the first shot on the Brigand, but lands the second.

Ignatz lands a Curved Shot on a leading archer and dodges the archer's shot. He grows in maximum life energy and dexterity.

Flayn heals Bernie.

Bernie hits the first shot on the dark mage that keeps badly injuring Lorenz but misses the second shot.

Lorenz finishes the dark mage off with Frozen Lance. He then grows in speed and resistance. "That's one more stronghold taken and one more escape route blocked. There are still some strongholds left. Professor, which should we go for first?" Sylvain asked.

I'll answer that later. Linhardt heals Lorenz with Physic.

The rest of my students and I advance.

The archer Ignatz attacked attacks Ignatz who dodges.

Some of the thieves and rogues advance toward an escape route while an archer attacks Ignatz who dodges the first shot but gets hit by the second.

Second verse, same as the first for Ashe.

Ignatz hits the leading archer with his sword twice.

Hapi uses Banshee Theta on the archer that attacked Ignatz.

Constance finishes off the archer. She grows in magic and speed.

Linhardt heals Lorenz after Lorenz advanced.

The rest of my students and I advance.

The lead archer attacks and hits Ignatz with Disturbance.

Linhardt heals Lorenz after the two advance.

Ignatz hits the lead archer with Wrath Strike.

Ashe lands a critical hit on one of the retreating thieves and grows in strength, magic, dexterity, luck, and charm. He also receives a Speedwing.

Constance finishes off the lead archer with Fire. She grows in magic and charm.

"Another escape route blocked. We're nearly done! Take out those thieves and capture that last stronghold." Sylvain ordered.

Hapi attacks a thief with Banshee Theta.

The last mercenary on the thieves' side attacks Raphael, but deals no damage to him before he counters.

Two bozos attack me, but I'm either too fast or too tough for them to do any damage before I counter them into oblivion. ...Well, the brawler, anyway. The Brigand got lucky with his higher resistance. After defeating the brawler, I grew in maximum life energy, magic, and speed while Hilda grew in maximum life energy and luck.

Another Armored Knight attacks and hits Hapi who counters and grows in maximum life energy, magic, and charm.

I put a stop to the thieves advance by using Assault Troop on three of them. I defeated one of them with this Gambit, so I received a Short Spear.

Ashe finishes another thief off, obtaining an Advanced Seal.

Ignatz finishes off the armored knight that attacked Hapi and grows in strength, speed, and defense.

Hapi finishes off the thief she attacked and receives an Energy Drop.

Bernie defeats a Brigand trying to do a surprise attack and grows in strength, dexterity, speed, and charm.

Raphael misses his fist attack against the mercenary, allowing him to counter, but the counters don't do anything.

Ignatz shoots at another mercenary.

Constnace finishes him off.

Flayn misses her Nosferatu.

Hapi heals herself with a Vulnerary.

Bernie finishes another thief off, receiving a Goddess Ring.

Raphael finishes the mercenary he fought off. He grows in maximum life energy, magic, dexterity, and defense.

I shot at the Brigand and hit him twice.

Ashe finishes him off, cutting off all escape routes. He then grows in strength, magic, dexterity, and luck.

The rest of my students advance.

The one thief remaining runs around in futility.

I hit that thief twice with Nosferatu for one of my students to finish him off.

Ashe was the one who finished him off, growing in maximum life energy, luck, and charm. He receives a Magic Staff.

"That's the last of them. Great work, everyone." Sylvain complimented. "Thieves everywhere... I can't believe this is what the world is coming to. At least we've restored the peace here, even if it's only for a little while."

All right! We defeated all of the thieves! I received an Extra Large Bullion, a Longbow, and a Talisman.

Everyone agreed that Ashe was the MVP even though he didn't think so. His motivation was maxed out. My renown was also increased. Oh! And we've received the Gautier Knights battalion as a bonus~


Garreg Mach Monastery

"Professor, thank you for your help." Sylvain thanked. "We drove off the thieves and got a reward from my father. Job well done, eh? Although, I don't know how to feel about this particular reward." He said. Almost as though he could already see I was confused, he pulls out...

"...The Lance of Ruin...?" I gasped.

"Yep. I guess that's why my father tasked me with this mission. He wanted me to prove myself worthy of this Relic. This weapon, the Lance of Ruin... It killed my brother, and now it's mine." Sylvain sighed.

"Isn't that dangerous?" I asked.

"Not remotely. I bear the Crest of Gautier. The same Crest my brother wished for his whole life but never came to possess."

"You're still thinking about your brother, aren't you?"

"I suppose I am... Miklan hated me from the moment he found out I had a Crest and he didn't. He was selfish and egotistical. I know it's not right to say bad things about the dead, but he earned it. Even now, I'm still cleaning up his messes. I have to wonder though... What if it was the other way around? If he had the Crest and I didn't... Would I be the one my father thought was worth forgetting? Or would my fate have been wholly unlike his?"

"Hey. Thinking like that won't get you anywhere."

"You're probably right, Professor. It's not like me, is it? I don't pray much... but I think I'm going to pray for those who lost their lives to the thieves tonight. And for all of us. I'm afraid there are more days like these coming our way. "

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Faerghus has always been a cold place. Never very well-to-do. Until about 10 years ago, our region was a battlefield for the people of the Sreng Region to the north. And after the late king fell, the whole kingdom became unstable. So it's no real surprise that more and more people are resorting to thievery just to survive. And there are those rumors of the current regent being too busy chasing the ladies to bother with governing. Don't worry, I get the irony. The whole damn Kingdom is in decline because of nonsense like that. I'm hoping once we get Dimitri on the throne everything will get better. Anyway, I'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to use our reward. Including the Lance of Ruin. I know I can trust you with it until you think I'm ready. And, Professor, if I could, I'd still like to buy you a meal sometime."

"...What, you have another favor to ask?"

"No, I'm just asking a friend to hang out, that's all. Again, though, thank you for everything, Professor. I couldn't have done it alone." Sylvain declared.


Day 6 of the Wyvern Moon

Whew... Okay. Time for some instructing.

I instructed Sylvain on Reason and then Authority.

I instructed Ashe, Caspar, Hilda, and Mari on Authority.

I then began the lecture, but before I could, Ferdinand came up to me and asked, "May I ask? I am an avid arms collector. Since coming to live here, however, I have had much more trouble finding new items for my collection. Any ideas as to where I might find some uncommon weapons?"

"Hmm... Maybe ask a blacksmith to teach you how to craft your own?"

"That is a good option." Ferdinand pointed out.

Yuri comes up to me with a suggestion for his goal. "To be frank, I've never been at ease with lances or axes. I'd suggest that, rather than thrusting one of those clumsy weapons into my hands, you help me achieve mastery with the sword."

"...Sure, why not?"

Day 11

Claude and Mari did perfectly on Sky Watch. I received 1,000 G and 5 Smithing Stones.

The students report their respective findings.

Lysie learned the magic Dark Spikes T.

Caspar, Catherine, and Balthus each learned the Combat Art Healing Focus.

Shamir learned the Ability Swordbreaker.

Day 12

Okay~ What's next?
