"So, my lady" Hilda began to explain in Claude's body "Thanks to the lessons this big oaf no longer has two left feet"
"-but there's no way I'll be able to beat Dorothea in the Herron cup!" Claude finished
Byleth crossed his arms, he had to admit, he doubted Claude would have much of a chance even if he was super diligent in his dance lessons. However maybe it was because he was talking to Hilda's body, he suspected he didn't take every lesson very seriously "And what do you want me to do?"
"Well you can swap bodies professor! Dorothea wouldn't be able to beat me if she wasn't actually the one dancing!" Claude's eyes gleamed from his ingenious idea
"If you become Dorothea and lose on purpose, there's no way we can lose!" Hilda was excited at the prospect of winning her actually needing to put in a large amount of effort
Byleth immediately noticed something they had overlooked in the plan "Okay, you have an idea for beating Dorothea, but what about the Blue Lions entree?"
"Pssh" Claude waved a dismissive hand. "That class is full of people who don't know the definition of fun. All I need to do is put passion into my moves and the judges will pick me over them."
Byleth thought it over, this could work. Although he wanted his house to win fair and square, that seemed like an impossible request for Claude and Hilda. Evening the odds wouldn't be that big a crime
However, Byleth was also annoyed with the two. They strutted in here first thing in the morning and ruined his experience in this body, and now they were making demands of him. Fine, if they wanted a prank war, they will get one "Alright, fine. I'll swap with Dorothea for the cup-"
"You're the best, teach!" Claude interrupted Byleth before he was done talking
"-however." Byleth said sternly, Claude and Hilda gulped fearing what this meant. "If you don't win, neither of you will be going back to your own bodies for at least a week."
Claude's fears were slept away "Well, I think I can handle being Hilda's for a little while longer"
Byleth chuckled "Oh, I didn't mean Hilda. I can make you whoever I want, and trust me there are much worse people to be then a pretty young lady. Like an archbishop who's about to spend a day vomiting, or a teacher" Byleth smirked as the fear in Claude and Hilda's faces grew.
Byleth tried to make a dramatic exit, however it was more comical than anything else as he had to make ridiculously big steps to move in the insanely high heels the two had given him

"And that's what happened" Byleth in his body explained to the goddess in his head
"Riiiiiight." Sothis replied paying half attention "and what exactly do you plan to do with that?"
Byleth looked in the corner of the classroom, he knew he couldn't neither let Rhea back in her body and risk her ruining all of this nor could he have Sothis become Rhea, he didn't want Dorothea in his body during the cup for this plan to work. That left him with 1 option. Let the fish stay in Rhea's body for a bit. "We'll turn the archbishop back later, for now the fish can be her. Let's just....make sure the door stays locked"
Byleth put out a plate of fruit, to which the fish in Rhea's body ran over to the plater and began consuming. Byleth took this chance to run out of the room and lock the door, praying that the fish wouldn't figure out how to open a window and escape
Making his way over to the room where the cup was being held, Byleth saw Claude made it before him and was standing with the other two contestants. Dorothea of course, but also Annette from the Blue Lions house.
Looking at Dorothea, Byleth could tell this was already rigged in her favor in one way. All three contestants were wearing maid uniforms of course, but Dorothea had taken the time to embroider a pattern that seemed to sparkle like gold, she already seemed more dazzling than the other two contestants.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Byleth focused hard on Dorothea to initiate another Transference
