The next morning. Leif was ready to meet up at the main hall.
Professor Mercedes was waiting with some other students ready to
talk about the mock battle. Professor Lysithea and Linhardt were in
different areas of the monastery
Ester is with her professor, calmly suggesting the alternative,
poisoning. A guarantee win for golden deer.

that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs
"you were too correct"
Professor Lysithea shook her head. “Follow the rules.” She said
sternly. She hoped that the battle would go smoothly in their
favour. She would have allowed it if the battle needed to be done
quickly but...
Now that her crests were removed, she had all the time
Yawning, Iola stumbled into the great hall, hair a tangled mess
bunched together into an updo. With his hair up, he resembled his
father quite a bit. Strapped to his waist was a sword that dragged
on the ground lightly due to Iola's height. Despite having attended
class, he was still quite sleepy, not having woken up properly.
"G'morning Professor." He mumbled to Professor Mercedes, a
lethargic wave sent the elders way.
Professor Mercedes smiled cheerfully as Iola entered. “Morning
Iola! I hope you’ve slept well!” She was a gentle soul and that
aura could be felt. Leif also smiled at Iola when he entered, he
was holding a lance.
"Fine fine teach. We can play honorably." Ester says and smiles
“I know I said you were an angel... But you're more than
that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs
"you were too correct"
The time would come where the three groups would stand facing each
other at different areas of the field. Seteth would announce that
the mock battle has begun
Now that he had taken the time to wake up a bit more, Iola
unsheathed his sword, the blade slightly lighter than what he was
used to. It didn't matter too much, as he took in a deep breath and
let it out slowly. "Well, best of luck to us I guess." He murmured.
"We can succeed. We just need to keep our wits about us. Any battle
can be coinflip but...that doesn't mean we can't win this." Leif
murmured back at Iola. Already, some Black Eagles students have
engaged Blue Lion students, while some Golden Deer students were
moving towards the forest
"right. We got this." Iola nodded feeling more confident now. "I
watch your back and you watch mine?" He suggested, leveling his
down down towards the fighting. He wasn't sure how well he'd fair
in a combat situation like this, but his father had trained him
enough that Iola knew he could at least put up a fight.
"Course. I've learnt the Heal spell as well...if we ever get into
too much trouble. Our vulneraries should be good though." Leif
murmured. He looked at the battlefield and slowly moved towards the
Black Eagles students, who were clashing against the Blue Lions. It
was evenly matched so far
Ester gets her bow ready and charges at the blue lions, flanking
them between the black eagles and Golden Deer. True to her aim,
anyone who is targeted by Ester receives a healthy dosage of arrows

that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of

"you were too correct"
Some of the Blue Lions students turned to face Ester and the little
battalion she had brought with them. Leif was busy helping push
back the Black Eagles, the Blue Lions were gaining an advantage
Although slightly clumsy, Iola parried and blocked the advancement
of the Black Eagles, a healing spell sitting on the tip of his
tongue to be used whenever the opportunity arose. With the
advantage weighing towards them, Iola swiveled around to watch
Leif's back while keeping an eye on the Golden Deer
Once the Black Eagles had been defeated, it was now the Blue Lions
against the Golden Deer. However, the students of Golden Deer had
taken up positions in forests, making them more difficult to hit.
Regardless they had to fight on. Leif used Tempest Lance on an
unsuspecting Golden Deer student
Ester shoots at Leif from the woods before going off somewhere
else. She assumes som eww one over there may have learned from
Dimitri so she keeps her distance, having heard about him from the
wag

"you were too correct"
He noticed the arrow just in time. He attempted to dodge but was
grazed by it. “Hmph...” He was on higher alert now as he ventured
into the woods, making it harder to spot him
It was an even fight. The Blue Lion’s strength against the Golden
Deer’s trickery
Ester shoots everytime time she sees a blue lion, making sure her
precious golden deer don't get hurt. She is tempted to line the
arrows with poisons for real trickery, but that would only make her
professor mad and her father disappointed in her low tactics.

"you were too correct"
Ester has mostly been in the forest for the whole fight. From
treetops you can see more and be more concealed
