Field of the Eagle and Lion

Wyvern Moon
From on high, flocks of wyverns roar in chorus and soar the pristine skies, heading south for the winter. Fódlan's children lend their hands to winter preparations by gathering firewood and catching fish from the rivers' cool waters. Yet all the while their gazes are turned skyward, drawn to the magnificent sight above.

(Byleth stands with Dimitri and Dedue) (Manuela and Hanneman join them)
 * Dimitri: The Battle of the Eagle and Lion is finally upon us! This is our chance to show off the results of your expert training, Professor.
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: Battle of the Eagle and Lion?
 * Choice 2: It slipped my mind. (Relationship with Dimitri down)
 * Dimitri:
 * Choice 1: Have Lady Rhea and Seteth really not filled you in? Well, if that's the case, I'm happy to explain.
 * Choice 2: Haha, I highly doubt that. If you don't mind, I'd be happy to explain.
 * Dimitri: The Battle of the Eagle and Lion takes place every year during the Wyvern Moon. It can best be described as a mock battle between the three houses.
 * Dedue: Much like the one we had during the Great Tree Moon. Do you remember, Professor?
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: Yes, I remember.
 * Choice 2: I remember our celebration most of all. (Relationship with Dimitri up)
 * Dimitri: It was certainly an unforgettable time. I've never seen anyone put away as much victory food as you did that night, Professor!
 * Dimitri: This battle will take place in Empire territory, at Gronder Field. In other words, far removed from the monastery. It's a mock battle between the three houses. The house that defeats the most opponents wins.
 * Dedue: Your Highness, if the rumors are true, I believe Professor Manuela and Professor Hanneman will not be joining us.
 * Dimitri: Ah, yes, right you are. Given recent events, Professor Manuela has opted to sit this one out. Since she won't be present, Professor Hanneman has decided to skip this year as well.
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: In that case, I must sit out too. (Relationship with Manuela up)
 * Choice 2: What should I do?
 * Manuela: Oh, don't worry about us. You know you wanna see the kids in action.
 * Dimitri: Professor Manuela! Are you feeling better already?
 * 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.
 * Dedue: In that case, perhaps it is best that you sit this one out.
 * 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.
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: If I'm the only professor present... (Relationship with Manuela down)
 * Choice 2: This doesn't seem fair... (Relationship with Hanneman up)
 * Manuela: Oh my, look at you. If you're as confident as all that, my students will walk all over you.
 * Hanneman: We have taught our students well. There is no need to hold back. Challenge them with everything you have!

(Byleth stands with Claude and Hilda) (Manuela and Hanneman join them)
 * Claude: It's finally time! The Battle of the Eagle and Lion at Gronder Field is this month. Don't tell me you forgot, Teach?
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: It slipped my mind. (Relationship with Claude down)
 * Choice 2: I know little about it.
 * Claude:
 * Choice 1: You're kidding! Come on, Teach, I need you to keep it together for me. Don't lose focus when it counts.
 * Choice 2: You're kidding! Didn't Rhea or Seteth fill you in? Guess I have to do everything myself around here.
 * Claude: The Battle of the Eagle and Lion is one of the academy's annual traditions. It's a huge mock battle between the three rival houses.
 * Hilda: But you know all about rivalry battles, Professor. There was one right after you got here, remember? I hear the Battle of the Eagle and Lion will be held in Gronder Field, far away from Garreg Mach.
 * Claude: The house that defeats most opponents wins. It's a three-way battle that relies heavily on strategy. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
 * Hilda: Hey Claude, what about Professor Manuela? Do you think she'll be able to join us despite her injuries?
 * Claude: I'm afraid she's sitting this one out, as is Professor Hanneman. (mimicking Professor Hanneman) "As my persistent rival will not be present, it only goes to follow that I must also sit out this year's battle. Now leave me be, Claude!"
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: In that case, I must sit out too. (Relationship with Manuela up)
 * Choice 2: What should I do?
 * Manuela: Oh, don't worry about us. You know you wanna see the kids in action.
 * Claude: If it isn't our own Professor Manuela! All things considered, you're looking well.
 * 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.
 * Hilda: Does that mean you really won't be joining us for the battle?
 * 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.
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1: If I'm the only professor present... (Relationship with Manuela down)
 * Choice 2: This doesn't seem fair... (Relationship with Hanneman up)
 * Manuela: Oh my, look at you. If you're as confident as all that, my students will walk all over you.
 * Hanneman: We have taught our students well. There is no need to hold back. Challenge them with everything you have!
