Three Houses Saga: White Clouds

Hoping for a Healer

Third-Person POV

"Excuse me, Tae was it?"

The unawakened zombie girl was busy devouring the large meal in front of her, while the prince's retainer from Duscur looked on, astonished at the sight. She grunted at him, acknowledging his presence, before continuing her binge.

"Well then, I am glad you are enjoying the meal I prepared today..." he looked on as Tae lifted her head up to look at him, licking off the food she had on her face. A few students were disgusted at the sight and immediately left the dining hall one of them bumping into Dedue on their way out.

"You do not seem to care about how you are seen in the eyes of our fellow students. Despite being seen as an outsider you continue being yourself, it seems as though we share that same sentiment." the large man tells her as she finishes the rest of the food. She stares at him for a second before starting to nom on his arm, though not hard enough to cause pain for the guy.

"Um... however, I do request that you cease this sooner..."

TAE AND DEDUE HAVE ATTAINED SUPPORT LEVEL C

"Ugh... do we really have to take these tests?"

"Shh!" Ai silences Saki as they both hand in their Certification Exams for the fighter class. They both manage to pass as they head towards Sakura, Linhardt, and Leonie.

"Ahh, I can't believe I barely passed my exam..." the eggheaded idol sighs.

Leonie smiles as she speaks up, "Wasn't as hard as I thought, it's probably the fruit of my training with Captain Jeralt."

"Can ya shut up already with that, how many times are you gonna bring him up?" says Saki, clearly annoyed.

"As many times as I need for you to appreciate the training you got to experience under him as well." Leonie scoffs at her.

"Now now... we need to cooperate, we have another training mission before we guard the Holy Mausoleum at the end of the month. There shouldn't be any strife between us when we could be dealing with dangerous individuals." Ai says to prevent the two girls from fighting.

"That is quite true. But speaking of the training mission, I don't think I can make it this time. I need to catch up on some crest research I have been ignoring since studying you zombie girls. Goodbye." the sleepy Linhardt walks away from the four ladies with exasperated expressions on their faces.

He walks out of the Blue Lions classroom and is immediately stopped by Kotaro Tatsumi.

"YOU! TIRED SMART BOY!"

"Um... hi?"

"COME WITH ME NOW! I NEED HELP!"

"Why? I just–Ugh, this better not take up my research and nap times..."

As Tatsumi drags him away for whatever he needs him for, we cut to the aforementioned training battle, where more bandits are fought in a grassy field.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to this, maybe I should have stayed back too..." Sakura says as she notices the blood dripping off her lance.

"The mission was to rout the bandits, so we have no choice. This is how we steel ourselves for future conflicts..." Ashe responded while missing a target from his bow.

The girl just slowly nodded as she takes down another bandit, "I guess so.... Oh, have you been doing alright lately, Ashe? Our last mission was quite difficult for you..."
