Book One The Black Lion Old Version

New normal

All of the classes have returned from their missions; things are about to go back to normal, though one of the professors is unable to teach at least until he is fully recovered. So until then, a substitute teacher will teach in Byleth's place. However, a new edict was added that made it so teachers must have at least one assistant.

The houses would get new students as well from other parts of the the five nations three of the students are from Sunagakure along with three new students from Konoha.

The golden Deer class who just came back from the Land of Waves would be on time to receive their new classmates.

Blue Lions classroom

Ashe was still shaken up by the mission he wasn't able to look at the documents that he had he didn't have the courage he was afraid that it could change everything that he thought of the Church what if he finds out that he was fighting for the wrong side. It was irrational he knew but he couldn't help it he couldn't stop thinking about it or what Sasuke told him that about Lonato how from his perspective the cause he was fighting for was just.

He just didn't know what to believe anymore, what was right, what was wrong? The world no longer made any sense. He wished he could go back to a time where things were simpler, where he didn't have to think about these things, where Lonato was alive, and he wasn't forced to end his life to save his friend. He knew this was the thought of a child, but he couldn't help it, not after what he had seen, and now after what he had done.

"You're still thinking about that mission, aren't you?" asked Neji. It was difficult to read him and his emotions; he wasn't like his cousin Hinata, whom he thought was his little sister but she isn't she is his cousin their age gap was only one year there wasn't much that he knew about something due to their clan being protective of their secrets because of traditions Ashe had no knowledge of.

"How can I not? After what I've seen, it's hard not to think about it. How can you just brush it off?" he asked, not understanding how Neji was able to not be phased by the brutality of their mission and how it was carried out.

"I'm expected to brush it off because I'm a Hyuga and dwelling on the past or thinking about what could have been is unbecoming of a Hyuga." he answered as patiently as he could muster, explaining something that was obvious to him but not everyone else.

"Was our cause even just?" he asked Neji, as if expecting him to have the answers to the thoughts that have been haunting him since the day he killed Lonato.

"It's hard to say from our point of view our cause was just from his point of view his was just our enemies are obviously going to think that they are in the right and we're in the wrong. History unfortunately is written by the winners. It doesn't matter how just or unjust a cause is the Victor that gets to decide what it's just and what isn't." Neji answered kinder this time from what he could see in his eyes also was haunted about what they did but did a good job of hiding it was brief but it was there.

"I suppose things were just easier before this mission." He didn't get a chance to say anything else, as the other Blue Lions entered the classroom. Everyone sat in their usual spots.

What he saw was something that caught him off guard. He saw a blonde woman with a strange hairstyle walking into the classroom. The way she carried herself was with an arrogant hindrance, but with the confidence to back it up. And the person next to her was a man with olive skin. His hair was strangely arranged, and he wore a headband on his forehead that had a symbol that looked like a leaf.

His attire was similar to that of Kakashi Hatake, the professor of the Golden Deer. The main difference between them is that this man wore darker clothes than Kakashi did.
