Mini Trial #86 - Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon (Sign-ups)

[Sachi]

Garreg Mach Monastery: For nigh upon a thousand years, this immaculate bastion of peace has watched over Fódlan as tenderly as a mother watches over her newborn child. Situated in the centre of three major nations – The Adrestian Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Leicester Alliance - Garreg Mach has resolved to be a symbol of unity and understanding between the nations, so that the peace we know today may last evermore.

It is to that end that the Church of Seiros, those who follow the will of the Goddess, elected to establish the Officer’s Academy. Just as it is so that Garreg Mach serves as a symbol of peace, the Officers Academy serves to give such unity physical form. Youth from all of Fódlan’s nations are welcomed into the Academy with open arms, so that they may live together, work together, and come to understand one another.

It is our wish, as the Church of Seiros, that these bonds carry on as our students leave the Academy’s care and grow alongside them. It is these very same bonds that will one day grow into the chains that hold Fódlan’s people together. Forged by the most vicious of flames, with material stronger than Mythril or Umbral Steel, these unbreakable ties lay the foundation for the next generation, who will attend the Academy much as their forefathers did, and the cycle of bonds continues…

So it has been for close to a millennium. And so it will continue to be, so long as these holy walls continue to stand.


“It is with great joy in my heart that I welcome you all into the Officer’s Academy. Soaring Black Eagles of Adrestia. Fearsome Blue Lions of Faerghus. And of course, the Shining Golden Deer of Leicester. It is my sincere hope that the time you spend here will serve not only as happy memories following your graduation, but adequately prepare you for the lives that await you all outside of Garreg Mach’s walls.”


“You will all meet with your professors shortly. I am sure you are all eager to begin your student lives, but I ask that you hold your excitement for just a moment longer. If you would please turn your attention toward Seteth…”


“Thank you, Lady Rhea. This will take not but a moment, students, I assure you. All I ask is that you reply however you see fit once I call out your name, then proceed to the table in this room marked with your house’s emblem. Are there any questions? Very well. I will begin:”

[Vulpix]

Sigurd of Chalphy


Professor of the Blue Lions.
Quan and Eldigan were also going to be teachers and the three of them were going to relive their glory days of when they went to an international prep school together, but their wives said no. Sigurd's wife, on the other hand, voiced no objections. At least, she probably wouldn't have, if he had been able to ask her.


"When others schemed against us, my father and I were branded as traitors. Our family's honor was lost. I fought to bring the truth to light and honor back to our name. But I failed. Seliph fought so hard to dispel the regrets I left behind, even at his young age... The Scion of Light, eradicating the darkness, and avenging his father— that's how people must see him. Of course, there's more than one way to look at things. Evil can be seen as good—and good, evil. This is, unfortunately, something I learned too late. I must explain this to Seliph. It is my duty as his father—I must do what I can to help him become a true king... Have you seen my wife anywhere?"

"What on- Professor Alois! For what reason are you standing among the students? Why are you on the student register to begin with?"


"I suppose this is yet another of your practical jokes. I would ask that you proceed to the Golden Deers' table, at least until I'm finished taking register..."

"Hm, a foreign student, are you? Welcome. I must remind you that the majority of our lessons are carried out in the language of Fódlan. We will assign you a translator, if neccessary."

Nov 1, 2022 22:51:19 GMT -6 Nekomaru said:

"I'll... I'll do my best!!"

"Justine von Hymir? How odd. As far as I knew, the Hymir boy who attended the Academy last year was an only child. And a minor house such as that does not have the privilege of extended branch..."


"Forgive me for getting off track. I welcome you into the Academy all the same."

"Hilarious."

"How dare I hunt children? You misunderstand. I was simply educating my subjects... The gifted ones, at any rate."

"...A simple 'here' will suffice."

Nov 1, 2022 23:28:23 GMT -6 Misaki said:

"Ayra reporting for duty. What do you need?"

"I am pleased to learn some of this generation seem to retain their manners. Welcome, Ayra."

Nov 2, 2022 5:25:55 GMT -6 Ame said:

"What can The Great Constance assist you with?"

"I would remind you to be on your best behaviour, Constance. That you are able to attend Garreg Mach is a privilege granted unto you by the Archbishop. I trust that your fellow wolves will cause us no trouble in the meantime."

Nov 2, 2022 11:35:23 GMT -6 Izumiko (Emi) said:

"Oh..! Present..."

"A welcome break from the madness... You strike me as having a certain... familiarity about you. Perhaps you'd get along well with Flayn."

Nov 2, 2022 18:01:47 GMT -6 Tetsu said:

"How can I assist you, kind sir?"

"With every coming year, I find myself increasingly dazzled by how far from home our students are willing to travel. Garreg Mach extends its welcomes to you and your people, Lady Frederica. I understand you made quite the trip, coming all the way from Norzelia as you did. Rest assured, your journey will have been more than worth it."

"Duly accounted for."

"Is this some sort of elaborate ruse you're all playing on me? Why are two of this years' Professors on the student register?! Please, Professor Stocke, I thought you more reasonable than Alois, at the very least!"


"Proceed to your class, please. At the very least, I'm sure Professor Sigurd is above such petty pranks as this..."

"Forgive me for asking, but... How... old are you, exactly? By the Goddess... You're not a Professor as well, are you?!"

---

"Though there were certainly some... difficulties, I am pleased to say everyone is accounted for. Including our troublesome Professors..."

"It pleases me to see that not only are our new students safe and sound, but that the Professors who are to watch over them share their enthusiasm for the year ahead. Once more, I and the entire church welcome you all into the Officers Academy. I see the year ahead of us promises much in the way of... creativity, shall we say."

"May the Goddess watch over you all."

With that, sign-ups are officially closed, and the school year will commence as planned. How exciting!
