Episode 2 - Sides

So the episode starts with the thief leader from last time as he's sharpening his axe while sitting on a rock.

L: damn kids...that's what I get for challenging Jeralt...

L:...how the hell did I get beaten by a girl...was she Jeralt's wife or something-

?: That would be his daughter.

The leader turns his head and sees a masked and intimidating figure.

L: Let me guess. Here to yell at me?

Flame Emperor: more like insulting your terrible choices. Like not hunting down Rhea like I asked. or chasing a couple of students. or, and this is my favorite, RUNNING AWAY FROM THE BATTLE LIKE A COWARD! Do you think your men are disposable? do you think you can simply run away knowing that they died for nothing!

L: they aren't your men to deal with. Besides I couldn't give up the chance of killing a rich kid. especially the princess of the empire-

the flame emperor brings his sword near the leader

F: Your idiocy amazes me...

L: (sigh) alright I won't lie, I messed up pretty badly. But it won't happen again.

F: I know (puts the sword away)

L: heh. so what now?

F: a friend of mine has already given the Knights your location. So now for your next Job...you'll stay here, and die.

L: what!? like hell I will! (tries to run but is pushed back)

F: You'll never leave. My barrier will make sure of that.

L: so your trapping the knights as well?

F: wrong. The barrier can only affect a few people. goodbye.

the flame emperor disappears

L: HEY DON'T LEAVE ME YOU BASTARD

So after the opening theme, we cut to Byleth as she's walking with a clipboard as we get a flashback of her with Rhea

R: Since your gonna be our new professor, you must pick a house to teach. so please look around and find out which you'll choose.

then we cut back to byleth with her clipboard as she heads to golden deer house first

L: heyyyyyy! newcomer!

byleth turns around and sees an Orange haired teen going toward her and reaching for a hand shake

L: Leonie!

B: Byleth (takes hand shake as leonie gives byleth a very firm handshake)

L: So how do you like it here so far?

B: well honestly I don't know yet

L: did Jeralt talk about me?

B: hm? Oh right! yeah he said that he wanted to see you.

L: sweet! I'm apart of the golden deer alliance but honestly...I think I'd rather be a mercenary. That's why Jeralt made me his personal apprentice.

B: apprentice?

L: Mhm!

L: you checking out our house?

B: yeah I was just about to enter.

L: here! (Gives Byleth a whole cooked turkey) Tell the big guy this is thanks for helping me a lot with training.

B:....R-right...

Byleth goes in the golden Deer house as Hilda was sharpening her axe, Lysithea was measuring her height, Marianne was feeding a small chicken, Ignatz was painting, Lorenz was looking at a mirror, Raphael was lifting a log for training, and Claude was just looking at a map

Raph then sees Byleth

R: HEY! IT'S THE NEW PROFESSOR!

Raph laughs as he throws the log away as Hilda casually cuts it in half and gets back to sharpening the axe as Raph lifts up Byleth

R: Hey professor! Welcome to the Golden Deer house! (gasp) And you already brought a gift!

B: I-It's from Leonie!

R: HAHA THAT"S MY BEST BUD ALRIGHT!

C: hey professor. welcome. these are the students of this house. That's Raphael.

B: hi.

R: HEYA!

C: this is hilda, Ignatz, Lorenz, Marianne, and the 8 year old is Lysithea.

L: SHUT UP I'M 11!

C: well your welcome to hang out as long as you'd like.

B: well I-please put me down.

raph lets her down and politely takes the turkey

B: Well I would like to interview each of you

we cut to lorenz and Byleth

L: I consider myself a ladies man though I don't like to brag, And I tend to see the beauty in all women...except for that sloppy Leonie

LE: HEARD THAT!

Then we cut to Marianne and Byleth

B: So what is your life like?

M: (quietly) um....well....

B: any favorite foods?

M:.................

B:...Have a loving father?

M: my step father?

B: what happened to the other father?

M: dead....

B:.................

Then we get to Hilda and Byleth

B: You do much work-

H: no

B: Do you like wor-

H: no

B: what do you like to wor

H: no

then we get to her and Ignatz

I: I'm honestly that much of a fighter but soon I'm sure I'll be an excellent painter ^^

then we cut to Raph and Byleth

R: You should've seen Ignatz when he saved me by shooting both eyes of a demonic beast!

then we cut to her and Lysithea

B: So I'm guessing Claude likes to tease you alot despite you having a very intellectual mind.

L: and very skilled at dark magic.

B: so what can't you do?

L: Reach for the sugar...

Then we cut to Byleth heading out of Golden deer as she heads over to blue lions before seeing Mercedes humming while baking some sweets in the house

B: excuse me. sorry to bother you but-

M: yes I am apart of blue lions. It's so nice to see you here newcomer.

B: thank you but-

M: want a cookie, I made it myself.

B: but where are the others?

M: at the training grounds, but ingrid is at the dining hall trying to get full, but it'd be rude to bother her at that time

M: so let me ask again, want one?

B: um sure. (tries one) woah! you made these!?

M: I'm happy to hear you like them. I used to make them for my little brother all the time. Annette loves them as well, I think you'd really like her.

B: I guess I'll see you later then (reaches for a handshake)

M: oh my gosh your hand is bruised!

B: oh this? it happened when I battled some thie-

merecedes starts pushing byleth to the bench before grabbing alchohol and bandages

M: oh that Dimitri! never telling me when someone is hurt!

Mercedes then uses her magic to make the bandage and alchohol extra effective as she heals the bruises on Byleth's hand

B: You seem to be really skilled at this.

M: well I have been at the church for a while but I'm still a student despite being the oldest student in the school.

B: How old are you?

M: 23.

M: how old are you professor?

B: classified.

M: oh. sorry for asking.

B: it's ok.

B: would you like to introduce your classmates to me?

M: of course. I'd love to. come with me.

byleth and Mercedes then walk out the house as they wander around the whole Monestary before Byleth bumps into a tall white haired man with a mask

J: Hm?

B: oh sorry sir.

J:...wanna spar with me?

B: what for?

J:...I just want to spar.

M: don't mind professor Jeritza. he's usually like this. come let's keep going.

Byleth stops for a bit before giving Jeritza a cookie.

J: This food. reminds me of...food memories.

B: uh have a nice day.

they walk away

M: that was kind of you professor.

B: it honestly looked like he needed kindness

so they head to the training grounds as Byleth sees Dimitri watching Felix and Dedue train, Annette was sitting down humming to herself, Ashe was fixing up his bow, and Sylvain was making his own spear.

M: I hope you enjoy yourself here.

B: they all seem pretty relaxed.

M: well all of us grew up together. Though I'd recommend training with Felix if you want him to hang out with you.

B: noted

D: oh hello professor. Have you decided to lead our house?

B: Not yet, I have one more house after this.

D: well interview us as long as you please.

F: is this the daughter of jeralt.

D: why yes.

Felix grabs his training sword.

F: Miss Byleth.

M: oh dear.

Sylvain: oh sweet. (gets hit by Ingrid)

F: I challenge you to a duel.

B; Are you sure? (Dedue gives byleth a training sword) I won't go easy on you.

F: If you did I would quit.

Byleth gets ready as felix zooms toward byleth as the two started striking each other but in 5 seconds, Byleth manged to block, spin, and force felix's sword onto his chest

B: you ok?

F:...I don't need your pity. But your definitely better than I thought.

D: well done professor! your quite the fighter. come with me, I'd like to discuss something

we cut byleth walking with Dimitri.

D: those were some excellent skills. I always love a fair fight. you certainly impressed me.

B: thank you. (looks at his pocket. is that an eye patch?

D: oh this? (picks it up) it was a strange gift given to me by my step sister. She gave me this just in case I lost an eye in battle.

D: I decided to give her my own gift after that. A silver handled knife. To defend herself of course

B: you two sound like quite the pair.

D: we'd always train with each other, sadly I kept losing.

B: did you ever get her back.

D: you'd be surprised but no. I do hope she still has the knife though. like a memory from our past

D: so you like the house so far?

B: Indeed I do. very relaxed and hard working. though I still have to check Black Eagle.

D: well then I hope you choose whichever makes you happier. goodbye Professor.

B: See ya soon.

Byleth then heads over to Black Eagle house as Bernadetta sees Byleth and zooms to a closet to hide in

E: Hm? are you alright bernie?

B: DON'T LET THE LADY KILL ME!

Byleth: is she alright.

E: well...she'll get used to you soon

E: it's nice seeing you again Professor Byleth. the other's are minding their own business as we speak. Have you been to the other houses?

B: Your last one I'll interview today.

E: Well about that, apparently my servant Hubert wanted to interview you.

B: Why's that?

E: He's honestly very protective and wants what's best for me. He's currently in the dining hall if you wish to see him.

Byleth then walks out to head to the dining room as she sees Petra eating with the a fork and a knife on a whole chicken.

B: excuse me?

P: yes?

B: do you know a man named hubert?

P: could be by corner of room. want eat together?

B: What?

H: she's a princess from the foreign lands of Brigid. she's still learning our language

B: are you Huburt?

H: that I am. I've been awaiting for your arrival. I wanted to know if you are worth of joining with Lady Edelgard.

B: I don't think I need your approval.

H: I will not allow mere strangers to be with her, even if they just saved her life.

B: trust me. no harm will come to her if I join you.

H: we shall see professor. I have served Lady Edelgard since I was 6. If you harm her by any means I will not hesitate to kill you in this school

B: you seem straight forward. I'm guessing the students are also hard workers.

H: hehe. we'll see about that

B: hm? do they need help?

H: plenty of it. though I honestly think we are stronger than the others think.

P: we will get the victory.

H: Hmm. and why exactly have you asked that question?

B: I think I found a house to join

We then cut to a tall green haired man talking to Lady Rhea

Seteth: I seriously think we should reconsider this option Lady Rhea. We do not know what or who she is other than Jeralt's daughter. Blind trust is not a wise decision.

R: But it is my decision to make and to make alone. I don't know why but I feel like we have a connection. a very special connection.

S: don't you think this'll get a little out of hand?

R: My decision is final. she will stay here as a professor of this academy.

Byleth then enters the room as Seteth looks over at her.

S: I hope you know we are busy at the moment.

B: I decided to join a house.

R: wonderful news child. which house have you decided to be with.

B: I have chosen for my own reasons, The black Eagle house. I believe they are a mess worth fixing to better establish the academy's teachings.

R: Hm a very interesting choice indeed but it's still a wonderful one. the church and empire have not been allies for many years and I trust Princess Edelgard will help restore peace between both factions.

S: Will you promise lady rhea that you will also help Edelgard with restoring peace?

B: Of course.

R: then may the church of seiros smile upon you dear child. now run along and meet with your lovely students.

Flayn: oh there you are brother.

S: hm?

we then see Flayn, an adorable short adult with long green hair

S: Flayn I thought I told you to rest in your room for now?

F: I'm not a child brother. I just wanted to meet the professor.

F: hello Professor. I'm seteth's little sister. I hope your stay here will be a comfortable one.

B: Thank you. see you guys soon.

R: have luck dear child.

we then fade to Byleth getting to the entrance of the black eagle house as the students were already grouped up.

Ferdinand: greetings professor! I am ferdinand von aegir! the soon to be greatest noble that ever lived!

Dorothea: please tone it down Ferdy.

F: oh. right. sorry.

D: My name is Dorothea.

C: Sup teach! I'm caspar!

P: petra. Your pressence exite me.

D: excites.

P: right. e-excites.

Lindhart was sleeping while standing

Bernadetta: U-u-uhhh Hey look a wall! (turns away)

H: is this messy enough profe-

E: silence Huburt.

H: my apologies

we then cut to dorothea and Byleth walking together as Byleth was already exhausted.

D: careful not to trip professor.

B: I'm trying my best

B: are they always this riled up?

D: no. they're usually worse.

B: jeez.

Sothis: honestly there all children!

Byleth falls from being scared by sothis

D: I told you to be careful

S: are you that easy to scare!? I thought you were stronger than that! now don't talk back because thanks to your choice, I'm EXTRA SLEEPY

D: are you ok?

B:...yeah.

Sylvain: hey teach!

D: ignore him let's go.

B: what if it is important?

D: it's Sylvain.

S: Wait!

D: sorry Sylvain we accept people who don't crush womens hearts.

S: I wanna join your class!

both:...

B: what's your reason.

S: uhh. well life isn't that great with blue lions, plus who would want to pass a babe like you.

D: that's all?

S: look I know it's not great but I just wanna give it a shot. You won't regret it. I promise!

B:...fine. we'll start tomorrow.

S: sweet!

We then cut to Petra training with Ashe as Caspar was arguing with Annette

C: so a stranger offered you coffee...and you turned it down!?

A: it was a stranger!

C: IT WAS COFFEE!

Ashe: looks like your friend is having a feud.

P: he sometimes like that.

Ashe: so how's the professor?

P: She kind and very inspiration.

Ashe: inspiring.

P: oh. my apologizing. I mean apologies.

Petra strikes at ashe with quick speed before ashe dodges it and fires a fake arrow but Petra slices it.

A: Nice slice petra!

P: Arrows are like birds to me. they're easy to catch once you understand the sound of whistle.

A: do you enjoy battling?

P: Of course. It's like hunting human size bears. Only I don't eat human

A: What else do you do in Brigid?

P: I help get ingredients for people of brigid to cook. sometimes we catch very large fish in sea and save it for children. for fish is nutricious.

A: Sounds very interesting. you know I'm quite the reader. maybe one day you can show me a journal you made about your homeland.

P: I have two wooden journals in room.

A: why wooden.

P: It's only the cover. I carved in the title

A: do you wish about going back home?

P: sometimes. But I like staying here and helping the adrestian Empire. Grandfather is proud that I am making peace with Lady Edelgard. soon Brigid will be free and be equal to the other lands.

A: That's a good dream.

P: Thanks Ashe. you are good listener.

Annette: Petra which is better!? Tea or coffee!?

P: The hot beverage.

C: Which one!?

so then we cut to Dimitri and felix fighting in a room that has a sand floor on one half for short training and the other half is a table, chair, fireplace, and book shelves as Claude was resting

D: you seem to be agressive today.

F: I want to surpass the professor! (strikes again) I'm always happy to face a worthy opponent!

C: are you still on about that? I missed it when you kept whining about your dad

F: Don't talk to me about my father. He's too pathetic to be mentioned by someone else.

D: I don't think you should keep treating him so rudely.

F: I don't care what he thinks.

C: Oh come on. I'd be pretty proud of myself if I served the boar. Isn't that a faction that protects the kingdom?

F: the boar is useless in my eyes

D: You should be honored.

F: I don't care!

D: Felix you must show respect!

F: Don't expect me to blindly follow a prince's orders! You already have Dedue for that!

D: Watch your tongue Felix! Dedue is a dear friend of mine! all of Blue lion are my friends!

F: They're only your friends because of their ranking!

D: What makes you say-

F: Sylvain left because he's scared of you! Because he knows what you do when you lose control!

claude gets up and leaves

D:...is that the truth?

F:...He had other reasons...but he knows Dedue didn't get revenge on a barbarian for injuring Mercedes.

D:....Don't act like that felix. don't act like I don't care. besides. I gave him a quick death. (almost leaves)

F: but you didn't leave...

D:...

F: you stared...

D: I'm gonna meet with the professor. have a nice day Felix.

F:....

The End
