It's just your second day here, so you still feel a little bit lost in Monastery's grand halls and intertwined passages, but still you feel that the way you took is correct. Students chatter around you, discussing news from home and gossiping about house leaders and professors, discussing the Knights and, of course, you. A new face in professorial staff can't expect to avoid becoming a subject of everyone's curiousity. Finally, you walk through the park and get to the Academy building. Three huge doors are now open, revealing each house' classroom. Inside the room with bright yellow flags the Golden Deer students talk and laugh, seamingly unaware that the class is about to start. Blue Lions students already sit at their desks in their classroom, awaiting their teacher to come in atmosphere of warm, but stern discipline. In the Black Eagle classroom the House Leader, Edelgard, already started discussing upcomming mock battle with other students, preparing their tactics. You look around, hear the bell on the cathedral's belltower ring, marking start of your first lesson. Now it's time to go to your House.
