A bit... Chaotic, due to a certain purple haired merc.

As Byleth walked out of the audience chamber, Shez passed by him. "Hey, quick question, what House are you joining?" she asked him, making him pause.

"I'm going to be teaching the Black Eagles, why?" he inquired, his tone neutral.

"Wait, you were actually offered a teaching job? Huh, I thought you offered to be a student here, same as me," she said thoughtfully, before shrugging. "Well, that makes things easier, see you in a bit!" She then moved past him into the Audience Chamber.

'Wonder what that was about?' Sothis mused. Byleth simply mentally shrugged and kept walking towards the steps, and back towards the Black Eagle's classroom.

...

The reception from the class awaiting their new Professor was quite interesting. Caspar expressed surprise, Dorothea was welcoming, as was Lindhardt... Up until he decided to go take a nap at least. Bernadetta just seemed like a nervous wreck, and Ferdinand, despite expressing surprise that someone close to their age would be their mentor, took it in stride, and asked Byleth how he'd feel if they were relatively casual with him.

Deciding against looking like an overly strict and controlling teacher, at least until he got a better handle on things, Byleth agreed, and Petra made a verbal flub, intending to praise his boldness in accepting a relaxed dynamic, but instead implying he had a gut. Thankfully, Dorothea quickly cleared that up, and Petra had rather embarrassedly apologized.

Edelgard seemed rather pleased to have him be their teacher, and expressed high hopes for him. Just as Caspar was starting to suggest a training session, the doors suddenly burst open, and Shez, in an Officer's Academy Uniform, entered. "Hey everyone!" she called cheerfully, interrupting everything. "I've finally picked which House to join! I'll be studying with the Black Eagles! Nice to meet you all in a more official capacity!"

"...huh. Was starting to wonder if you had chosen a different House," Edelgard remarked to Shez. If she had looked pleased to have Byleth as the Professor, she now was trying to hide the fact that she now outright seemed like her birthday had come early. Both the interesting talents she had wanted to potentially recruit were now in a prime position for her to work with.

"Eeep!" Bernadetta whined. "Two new people!? Oh, Bernie, what did you do to deserve this?" she lamented aloud.

Hubert narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered something about having more reason to keep his eyes open. "...I guess just introduce yourself to the rest of the class," Byleth told Shez, trying to sound more sure of himself.
