Before battle

Mist:
“Are you all right?”

Ike:
“Nn… Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

Greil:
“So, the sleeping prince awakens!”

Mist:
“Father! can’t believe you! I know those are practice swords, but they’re still heavy! You have no right to be so rough on Ike.”

Greil:
“If this is too much for the boy, he’ll never make it as a mercenary.”

Mist:
“But–“

Ike:
“You don’t have to worry. I told you, I’m fine.”

Greil:
“Ha! You’d better be. Now grab your sword and get ready!”

Mist:
“What? Don’t tell me you’re going at it again! But–“

Ike:
“Just until I land a single blow. I’m not giving up until I can get one good hit in on Father.”

Greil:
“I like your resolve, Ike. But it takes more than a strong will to… Hm?”

Boyd:
“Aha! I knew I’d find you here!”

Mist:
“Hi, Boyd. What brings you here?”

Boyd:
“Nothing special. You said you were going to get the boss, but you never came back. I got picked to check up on you.”

Mist:
“Oh! Sorry, I got caught up with Ike and my father.”

Boyd:
“It’s nothing. Besides, I figured I’d get a good laugh watching Ike get worked over by the boss. You…look fine.What happened?”

Ike:
“Nothing at all. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

Mist:
“You just missed it. Just a minute ago, he was out cold.”

Ike:
“Mist!”

Mist:
“Ha ha! Sorry.”

Greil:
“You came at just the right time, Boyd. You can be Ike’s sparring partner.”

Boyd:
“What? Me?”

Greil:
“I’m beginning to think it would be better if he sparred with someone closer to his own skill.”

Ike:
“…I understand.”

Ike:
“Thanks for your help, Boyd.”

Boyd:
“Hmph! I don’t know about this “to his skill” business, but I’m ready!”

Boyd:
“All right. I’m ready for you! Let’s go!”

Ike moves away from Boyd

Mist:
“Not that way, Ike!”

Ike moves away from Boyd a second time

Mist:
“Did you hear me? Not that way!”

Ike moves away from Boyd a third time

Mist:
“Hey! Are you even listening to me?”

Boyd is attacked

Mist:
“You can do it! Boyd’s got nothing! Take him out!”

Boyd:
“Nothing”!? I don’t have nothing. I mean, I have– I mean…

“I’m coming. Wait right there!”

After a round of combat with Boyd

Boyd:
“Ha ha! I’m not done yet. We’re just getting started.”

Boyd:
“Whoa! Come on! What’s that all about? You’re wasting our time!”

Ike discards trainer sword

Mist:
“Ah!”

Mist:
“I can’t believe this! If you throw your weapon away,how do you expect to fight? Let me help… Here you go, Ike. Here’s your sword.”

Ike:
“Oh…thanks.”

Mist:
“Try to be a little more careful!”

Boyd dies

Boyd:
“That–that wasn’t too bad.”

Mist:
“Boyd, you’re such a loser.”

Boyd:
“Shut your trap!”

Greil:
“Good work, Boyd. That’s enough.”

Boyd:
“Oh, all right!”

Greil:
“Your swordsmanship was decent enough, Ike. Don’t forget how it felt. It won’t always be this easy.”

Ike:
“I know.”

Greil:
“Now that you’re done warming up, it’s time for you to face me again.”

Ike:
“I was hoping you’d say that.”

Greil:
“But first…Mist!”

Mist:
“Right here!”

Mist:
“Here you go, Ike! It’s a vulnerary.”

Mist:
“I’d recommend using it now, before you fight Father. Last time, he knocked you silly.”

Greil:
“Always take time to heal your wounds in a battle–even small ones. By the time you think you’re in trouble, it’s probably too late…Don’t get into that situation.”

Greil is attacked

Greil:
“Give it your all!”

Turn ended without attacking Greil

Greil:
“Get ready, Ike–here I come!”

“Come on, boy! You going to give me a challenge this time around?”

Ike:
“…”

Greil dies

Greil:
“Ungh…”

After battle

Mist:
“Ike! You were great!”

Ike:
“Father, you were holding back, weren’t you?”

Mist:
“What? Is that true?”

Greil:
“If you could tell the difference, that means you’re improving.”

Boyd:
“You know, I wasn’t really giving it my all either…”

Mist:
“That is such a lie.”

Boyd:
“Bah.”

Ike:
“So, Father, does that mean you finally admit that I’m ready?”

Greil:
“What, to join the company? To take on a job?”

Ike:
“Yeah. I mean, Boyd’s already out there on the battlefield. I’m ready. I’m tired of being a trainee.”

Boyd:
“Listen, the difference between you and me is that I’m a professional.”

Mist:
“A professional who just got beat.”

Boyd:
“That was just random chance. Random chance.”

Greil:
“You’ve got a point, Ike… All right. Tomorrow will be your first day as a full-fledged mercenary.”

Ike:
“Really?”

Greil:
“But! If I think it’s too much, you’re back to trainee status. You’d better work hard.”

Ike:
“No problem. Watch– I’ll catch up to everyone in no time.”

Greil:
“We’ll see. We’d better be heading back to the fort. Everyone’s waiting.”
