An another young women with orange hair joined the discussion.

-I heard you talking so, I thought I could join the discussion. You don't see any harm in it ?

-Of course not, Annette.

-Oh, right, you are the daughter of the Dominic's house right ?

-Yes ! And, you are Atsuko ?

-Yes !

-So, Atsuko, where are you from ? Do you come from a noble house ?

-Me ? Not at all, I ain't a noble !

-Oh, so you're from a commoner's family ?

-Yes and more precisely the daughter of merchants.

-Oh, and what do your family sells ?

-Weapons and first necessity things.

-Okay, I see. From which region are you ?

-My region is kinda far away from here but my parents own a house in Fodlan too. Most of the time we are traveling to sell our things accross the continent.

-Isn't it too annoying to always move out everytime ?

-I am used to it since I spent most of my childhood traveling from a market to another one.

-It must be pleasant to discover new landscapes everytime you travel.

-Yes, that's what I love the most !

The rest of the students joined them

Dimitri: Don't go too far, come talk with us instead.

Sylvain: Charming ladies like you shouldn't stay alone like this.

Ingrid: Sylvain !

Felix: Tss, don't listen to that idiot.

Dimitri: Hmm... don't you think that they take a lot of time to choose our professor ?

Dedue: I agree with you, Your Majesty.

Ashe: True, it is kind of long.

Atsuko: I think that our professor will come soon.

A green haired men walked through the door.

-Hello everyone. I am Byleth and, I will be your new professor.

Each student of the class presented themselves to the professor. After this, they were all released from the classroom.

Dimitri went to see Atsuko, Mercedes and Annette with Sylvain.

Dimitri: I came to you because, I wanted to know if you knew where your bedrooms are.

Annette: Not at all !

Atsuko: I didn't even had the time to see the place and, I dont have a good sens of orientation so...

Mercedes: Me too.

Dimitri: Okay, I'll show you your dorms then.

Sylvain: Since I am here, I can show to one of these ladies the way to their dorms.

Mercedes: Ahaha, we can't question your reputation Sylvain but I think that I'll go with Dimitri.

Annette: Yeah, me too !

Sylvain sighed.

Atsuko: You can show me then.

Sylvain: Finally, a pretty women accept to let me accompany her.

Sylvain showed the way to Atsuko while discussing.

-Without being to curious, what are your "reputation" that Mercedes talked about, even if I already have my idea.

-You live in a cave to not know what people say about me ?

-I am not aware of everything that occurs here.

-I see, I just have the reputation of a womanizer.

-It seems to be true, no ?

-I'll let you judge.

-Oh, what an honor.

-After all, I am a really courtly men.

-I don't doubt about it but seriously, I don't have the right to judge you. You do whatever you wants even If I disagree.

-Hmm...

-What ?

-Nothing, nothing, but, tell me, did you use your bad sense of orientation as an excuse to get to know me better.

-Oh shit, you just exposed me !

-I knew it.

-No, seriously, my sense of orientation isn't the best so...

-At this point ?

-I don't know how I can describe it to you but I would have endend in the wrong dorms.

-I hope that it is not the same on the battlefield even if I ain't against the idea of saving a lady.

-Don't worry, I always end up fiding my way through, after all, I am not alone.

-True.

They arrived at the step of Atsuko's bedroom.

-I guess that it's for us to part our ways.

-I guess so. In any case, my bedroom is on that block too so it's not like we'll not see each other.

-Yeah, thanks for showing me the way.

-You are welcome, I am always at the service of pretty girls.

He winked at her and left.
