Chapter 18 by sexyslave sexyslave

Visit the last class? How are they?

Yes, and quite an interesting bunch!

Byleth walked into the Golden Deer House classroom, and glanced around. He decided to approach the bespectacled young man who was talking with the white haired girl. "Oh, you must be the skilled mercenary that aided Claude, pleased to meet you!" the girl greeted.

The young man in glasses gave a small start, and and hurried to introduce himself. "Ignatz Victor. My parents are Alliance merchants!" he stated.

"And I am Lysithea Von Ordelia, please remember it!" the girl added.

'She's definitely cute,' Sothis said as Byleth moved on.

'Better not use that exact word with her, based on what Claude said,' Byleth mentally replied. 'She might consider it patronizing, she's pretty insecure about the fact that she has only recently turned 18, remember that.'

He then moved on to talk to two other girls, Hilda and Marianne. Hilda definitely seemed friendly, but also subtly sized up Byleth. Marriane only gave her name, but said nothing else. "So, you joining the Knights of Seiros or something?" Hilda asked Byleth.

"Something like that," he replied noncommittally.

"Well, I look forward to seeing more of you!" Hilda said, waving as Byleth turned away.

'Yep, she's definitely a hot one... And if she's as lazy as Claude said, maybe you could go easy on her in exchange for-' Sothis started to say, but Byleth mentally cut her off.

'I may not have any experience teaching yet, but even I know that that would be highly unethical,' he thought firmly. 'Whatever sexual relationship I end up having with students, I will not be using my position to leverage anything from them.'

Sothis giggled. 'Doesn't mean you can't roleplay it a little! The other one seems like she'll be as much of a challenge as Bernadetta...'

He then walked up to the large fellow talking with the orange haired girl. Raphael and Leonie. Raphael seemed quite friendly, and was kind enough to point out the dining hall, though that wasn't what Byleth was looked at for. What Leonie said gave him pause. "That's Captain Jeralt's kid, Raphael," she stated. Byleth recalled finding her name familiar, and realized maybe this was the Leonie he had heard of before.

"You know my father?" he asked neutrally.

"Yeah, he taught me a bit when I was a kid, when he and his band visited our village!" she replied. That explained it, Byleth wouldn't have met her directly, he tended to stay with a small group of Jeralt's band before he was old and strong enough to join the active fighting, while Jeralt led the rest in doing the job. No doubt he mentioned her in passing a time or two afterwards. "Did he ever talk about me?"

"In passing," Byleth shrugged. "I never paid his personal conversations too much mind, I was more focused on learning practical skills out in the field."

"...I guess that's a fair mindset to have when you live off the land and fight other people's battles for money," she acknowledged.

'She's pretty hot in her own right, and you have an in with her already!' Sothis cheered.

He then turned to where Lorenz was. He was every bit as self important as Claude had mentioned, and Sothis had laughed herself sick on his head that anyone with that haircut could consider himself a ladies man. Byleth had a feeling that dealing with him would be a chore.

Deciding it was time to return to Rhea, he headed back up to where she would be waiting with Hanneman and Manuela, his mind turning over all he had learned about the Houses. Each had its own appeal and challenges... The question was, which one did he stand the best chance of managing? And of course, at Sothis's insistence, he also had to wonder which one had the best girls in it.

Which House does he choose?
