The wolf and the eagles (Fire emblem: Three Houses x Male Reader)

Chapter 11. Eternal rivalry.

NARRATOR P.O.V

Saturday 4, Wyvern Moon.

Many days have passed since Ingrid was saved from a kidnapping attempt. After they handed the Merchant to Rhea, who then gave his custody to Rodrigue due to the Merchant being a part of Faerghus, everyone went to rest and took some free days.

However, this month has one of the biggest festivities in Garreg Mach. The Battle of the Eagle and Lion. Due to this, students are free to train as much as they need to prepare themselves for the battle. Y/N's class still wants their teacher around to point out their flaws, but they do not have to participate in class until the next month.

Today, Y/N is in the Reception Hall along with Byleth, speaking with Edelgard and Hubert.

Edelgard:"Professor, you already know about the Battle of the Eagle and Lion, correct?"

Y/N:"No, not really. I heard about it around the school but didn't pay too much attention to it. You guys are training hard however."

Edelgard:"That we are. Since you're unaware of the importance of this battle, let me fill you in. It's a large-scale mock battle between the rival houses that takes place every year."

Hubert:"It's scale is incomparable to the mock battle we fought during the Great Tree Moon. It will take place in the vast Gronder Field. That is in Empire territory to the southeast of Garreg Mach."

Edelgard:"Whichever house defeats the most opponents wins. Of course, the professors also fight alongside their respective houses."

Byleth:"Interesting."

Hubert:"Well, usually. Professor Manuela is being prudent. She will not be participating this year. Since his long-time rival will be absent, Professor Hanneman has also declined."

Y/N:"I see. It wouldn't have made much of a difference. This battle will be ours."

Edelgard nodded, agreeing with her professor's statement. Drawn by the conversation, both Hanemann and Manuela appeared and stood next to the students.

Manuela:"My, I see you're confident enough in your skills. You shouldn't underestimate the students, y'know? They've improved quite a lot."

Hubert:"Are you feeling any better, Professor Manuela?"

Manuela:"Thanks to all of you. But I'd only be a burden out there. My students don't need to see me collapsed. Well, not on the battlefield anyway."

Hanneman:"Correct, we will not be participating. Regardless, do not expect victory to come easily. Or at all."

Manuela:"Well put. We've spent the past few months pushing our students to their limits. You can see me in the infirmary after they destroy you."

Y/N:"Ha! My apologies Manuela but mines are far more prepared for this mock battle. In fact, I'll have to go easy on'em or else I'd spoil the fun for the rest."

Hubert chuckled at Y/N's taunt, while Edelgard looked at Manuela with a smirk, her professor's cockiness spreading to her.

Manuela:"Oh my, look at you. If you're confident as all that, my students will walk all over you."

Y/N:"We will see about that."

Tuesday 7, Wyvern Moon.

All the students were gathered in class. Y/N was going to prepare the strategy for the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. The students were all taking this seriously, since they didn't want to lose to the other classes.

Y/N:"Before we begin there's a couple of things I'm going to inform you all about. First, we have various students who asked to join our class. Due to us having more students, the Blue Lions will have various officers that will take the place of the missing students. Same thing if a Golden Deer student decides to join our class."
