Nice work, Teach. It's thanks to you that we successfully completed our mission.

As for Miklan... I wonder if he really believed he could wield a Relic.
link
Claude
volume_up

I bet he just wanted to get his hands on it, even though he knew he couldn't use it.
link
Claude
volume_up

Agreed. He probably just wanted to get his hands on it, even though he knew it was futile.
link
Claude
volume_up

Though I'm sure he wasn't counting on turning into a monster like that...
link
Claude
volume_up

I wonder if that monster represents another aspect of the Heroes' Relics. What a strange and terrifying power.

Tomas

Stories of misfortune have followed the Heroes' Relics since ancient times.
link
Claude
volume_up

Tomas! You've caught me by surprise. That's not easy to do. Though I suppose I should've expected to see our librarian in his library.
link
Tomas
volume_up

I am sorry to intrude. I simply heard you speaking of the Heroes' Relics. I can tell you more about them, if you'd like.
link
Tomas
volume_up

The story goes that Nemesis was corrupted by evil because of the Sword of the Creator.
link
Tomas
volume_up

Other Heroes also lost themselves by continuing to use the Relics...transforming into Black Beasts with twisted souls.
link
Tomas
volume_up

There used to be a great many records regarding the dark history of the Relics.
link
Claude
volume_up

Used to be?
link
Tomas
volume_up

They have been destroyed, across all of Fódlan. Stripped from their shelves, including those that resided at this very library.
link
Claude
volume_up

You make it sound like the church is covering up the truth.
link
Claude
volume_up

But now that you mention it, Rhea was very specific about not wanting anyone to find out what happened at Conand Tower.
link
Claude
volume_up

Hey, Tomas... Why are you telling us all this?
link
Tomas
volume_up

It seemed like you were searching for answers about the Relics. What is a librarian if not a guide in the search for knowledge.
link
Tomas
volume_up

And not only have you been searching, but you have been doing so through the night. I would suggest you stop before the knights notice.
link
Tomas
volume_up

And that is enough meddling for today. Please excuse me.
link
Tomas leaves the scene
link
Claude
volume_up

So I've been found out, have I? I suppose I do spend more time at the library than most students.
link
Claude
volume_up

But I won't stop. I can't afford to.
link
What are you after?
link
Claude
volume_up

Teach... You don't really expect me to tell you something so personal just like that, do you?
link
Claude
volume_up

Though, I wouldn't mind sharing if you were to tell me some of your secrets in exchange...
link
Edelgard enters the scene
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I can't let this exchange pass without comment... If you're sharing secrets, perhaps I can share one as well?
link
Claude
volume_up

Are you sure you could survive that? I'd say you're the least likely to share secrets out of everyone at the academy.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Heh heh, coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment. After all, you're easily the student with the most secrets.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'm afraid you overestimate me. My secrets don't amount to much. But back to Teach...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Don't try to change the subject, Claude. We're talking about secrets. Yours.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Who is your father? And why did you appear so suddenly, as if from nowhere?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Duke Riegan's eldest son died in an accident. Having tragically lost other family members as well, he was without an heir.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The Alliance would undoubtedly have been shaken if House Riegan had lost its position of leadership.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But then you showed up. Why did you return to House Riegan? What brought you to the monastery?

Claude

Oh boy. I'm trapped here. I have no choice but to surrender under your intimidating gazes.
link
Claude
volume_up

Alas... To be surrounded by women as lovely as flowers, only to be pricked by their thorns.
link
Claude
volume_up

My dream, in truth, is a selfless dream. But I require power to make it a reality.
link
Claude
volume_up

When I learned about the power of my Crest, I knew I had a chance. So I'm chasing that dream. To the bitter end, if need be.
link
Claude
volume_up

I came to this monastery because I thought I might find someone useful. Someone to help me on my path.
link
Claude
volume_up

So, what do you think? If you promise to help me achieve my dream no matter what, I'll promise to tell you anything.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I have my own dream to tend to. I pray that yours does not interfere with mine.
link
Claude
volume_up

What about you, Teach?

I see. Well, now isn't the time to discuss this. You are still my Teach, after all.
