Pretty enthusiastic about it! Mostly!

"Hey, that's cool with me!" Caspar declared. "Especially if they're strong enough to give me a good spar!"

"Meatheaded as always, Caspar. You know Felix will always be up for a good fight, you don't even have to be in the same House as him," Linhardt replied, honestly all for it himself. The more students Byleth took, the less time he'd have to come after him for his cat naps.

"So, um, who is it?" Bernadetta asked, not sure about it herself.

"...I suppose there's no harm in telling you all upfront," Byleth shrugged. "It's Leonie from the Golden Deer."

"I'm also working on convincing Ingrid to swap Houses," Dorothea added. "She's a bit **** to leave Dimitri though. Still, I don't think it will be particularly difficult, given a little time."

"I'll certainly like to get to know Leonie a bit more," Shez added. "She might make a nice recruit when I make my own mercenary band after Garreg Mach."

"Careful Shez, you might end up in her band instead," Hubert chuckled.

"Hey, as long as I'm not the new one around here, I'm cool with it," Monica chuckled. "I'm not interested in being the gopher... I remember some of the hazing we put students through last year."

"We would have had to try harder with you anyway," Edelgard said in amusement.

"Alright, let's get started with today's class. We'll be covering weapon maintenance today," Byleth stated. "That's obviously a very important thing to do in the field. Your weapon breaks? You're in for a world of trouble. Hell, my father specializes in techniques that break opponent's weapons, hence why he's called the Blade Breaker. But I assure you, he would have had a much harder time doing so if most of our enemies maintained their weapons properly."

With that, he began lecturing about how to spot signs of wear, and how to fix them, as well as cleaning rust before it accumulated.
