Last Time:

Byleth turned around, his coat snapping as a result of how fast he turned. He walked towards the dining hall, certain that was where Edelgard was at the current moment.

Celine and Dorothea looked towards each other before shrugging their shoulders at the same time.

"Always busy, those two." Celine said to Dorothea.

The brown-haired young woman responded with a nod. "I can see that. They're going to go far. I'm certain of it."

19th of the Garland Moon, Garreg Mach Monastery, Blue Lion Classroom, (Early Afternoon), Imperial Year 1180

Byleth had just concluded another lesson for the Blue Lion House, as it was one of the days for lessons in Garreg Mach Monastery. The Blue Lions were listening attentively to Byleth's lecture.

However, all of the Blue Lions knew that classes were about to end for the day. The bells would toll soon, signifying the end of class.

Byleth had a piece of chalk in his hand, finishing a drawing on the board. Briefly glancing down to make sure the example was correct, Byleth put the finishing touches on the battle drawing. He put the chalk down before facing the class.

"Put a sketch of this battle formation into your notes for today's class." Byleth told the Blue Lions, who were taking notes for the class... some more vigorously than others.

Blythe finished sketching the diagram, putting her pencil down. She raised her hand in the air. The female Eisner waited for Byleth to call on her.

Byleth pointed the piece of chalk in his hand towards Blythe, telling her that she could ask her question.

"This battle took place during the War of Heroes, correct?" Blythe asked, fidgeting in her seat. "Wasn't it one of the most pivotal battles of the war, setting up the stakes for the conclusion at Tailtean Plains?"

"Yes to both of your questions." Byleth responded with a nod. He then wrote 'War of Heroes' on the chalkboard. After that, he turned back to the class. "According to the legends, this battle was the turning point in the war. It allowed for the army led by Saint Seiros to have an advantage over Nemesis's forces, setting the stage for the Battle of Tailtean Plains."

Byleth walked over to his desk at the back of the room. He picked up a stack of papers from his desk, walking back to the class. The teal-haired professor put two papers on each of the five tables filled with students, one paper for each Blue Lion.

"The paper you just received is your assignment for the 'War of Heroes.'" Byleth announced, holding his own copy of the assignment. "Your task is to use the diagram you drew in class, along with the information we discussed throughout the week, and discern the motivations and movements for each army during this battle. It is due on the 21st of this Moon."

"Understood, Professor."

Everyone then heard shuffling outside of the Blue Lions Classroom, followed by the bells to the monastery tolling. Classes were over for the day.
