National crush day, is it?
It feels a bit redundant of the day of devotion, which was also observed here at the monastery.
As such, I'll reiterate that a number of you could stand to show a little more discipline during your tenure at the academy.
'I'm up at dawn with a sole purpose. Perhaps more critical than my typical agenda.'

@NotKronya You can help by continuing to look and act the part. Any lapse in character will call undue attention to you, and my cause by extension.

@NotKronya I should thank you not to allude to your combat prowess in plain view of the others.
Beyond that, I am well, I suppose.
'I offer Hubert complete discretion in how he approaches the tasks I defer to him.'
'That he accomplishes everything I ask of him infallibly is simply a testament to the idea he requires no supervision.' 👁️

('I've come to enjoy this short window of normalcy.')

'Professor? It isn't like you to impose something upon me so abruptly. Is everything alright?'
'There has been talk of my absence or repeated trips to Enbarr. Rest assured, I take my education quite seriously.'
'My priority is ever to enrich myself academically— and by extension, the lives of the Black Eagle House.'
'Our continued success will be indicative of that.'
@FodlanWinds Indeed, when we claim victory, the Flame Emperor will lend us their strength.
I suppose working alongside any of the seemingly dubious 'grand heroes' presents a set of challenges.
