Thunder and lightning crashed across the sky, echoing across the valleys of Fodlan. Quite a storm had rolled over parts of the adrestian empire as well as Garreg mach. Winds howled strong enough to blow down trees, rain pouring down so thick one could barely see. Indeed it was a brutal storm. Many were surprised that no sort of natural disaster was occurring, wondering if it was only by the grace of the goddess the storm wasn’t killing them.
Even if it wasn’t dangerous though, that didn’t mean anybody was going outside. It would be extremely easy to get sick if anyone tried to go out. Thus, in an effort to keep the students of the officer’s academy safe, they had a day off of school today. Of course, they couldn’t leave their dorms either, but they didn’t have to work. Manuela definitely wouldn’t be able to handle 50 or more sick kids at once after all. And for the most part, this all seemed to work fine. The students stayed in their rooms, with a staff member bringing them all meals. It seemed like it was going to just be a slow, stormy day... until one teacher decided to ask a favour of her students...

“Sorry... you want us to ...what?” Felix asked once again, still unable to believe what he’d just heard. At the moment, he, Dimitri and Ingrid had been gathered in Professor Eisner’s office. She wasn’t their teacher, but had still requested they come there anyways. She needed them for something. “I said I want to shrink you all down, head into Sylvain’s room and grab some papers for me” Byleth said completely void of emotion as if that were a perfectly normal sentence she’d just stated. The three students just couldn’t believe she would ask something like this.
“Why do you even want us to do this? And why us specifically?” Ingrid questioned. Although she had a feeling it was because of something stupid Sylvain did. “Well I actually tried to get some other students to help with the task, but none of them have come back yet. So I figure it would likely be best if I sent in his closest friends instead...” Byleth mused, still expressionless. Felix was about to open his mouth again, but the prince stepped in this time. “Well I think we should be able to do this task easily for you, professor!” Dimitri said rather enthusiastically. “Great” Byleth replied, instantly snapping her fingers to magically shrink them down, leaving Felix and Ingrid no time to protest.
She’d made the three barely half a centimetre tall so that they could really go through the room undetected. The teacher scooped the three up in her hands and started to walk through the storm, keeping her grip tight around them to protect them. Once she was by the red head’s room, she crouched down and pushed them all underneath the door. “It’s a paper with blue ink on it” she said simply before just leaving. The three now tiny students barely had time to comprehend anything that had just happened. It had all been so fast.
“Well... we’re stuck doing this now...” Felix grumbled, very clearly annoyed. Ingrid sighed. “Look, if we do it quick it will be over. So let’s just get it over with...” she said, thinking things would be much better if they went fast. And it shouldn’t be too hard to get a single piece of paper, even at this size. The only problem would be Sylvain himself, who was currently...
