In the aftermath, Shez is dumbfounded to learn that they just rescued the heirs to the three great nations of Fódlan. Alois and the nobles insist that Shez accompany them back to their camp for their reward, where Shez meets several Officer's Academy faculty and students. Afterwards, Alois strongarms Shez to come to Garreg Mach Monastery to be paid their reward/hush money.
