Lila's hands were slightly shaking from Levi's fearful persona. "How does Captain Levi not scare you? He wasn't even scolding me yet I'm a shaken mess."

Corinna looked at her squad member and shrugged her shoulders. "I've come across people worse than him before. So, I'm pretty much immune to his aggressiveness."

"Really? Like who?" Lila queried.

The blonde swallowed hard as flashing memories clouded her mind- swarming her with bloodshed and curdling screams.

"Alright, we will be heading out now. Remember to keep your guard up at all times, stay focused, and remain alive!" Levi commanded, pulling Corinna's haunting memories from her mind.

"Just people." Corinna vaguely answered, leaving her squad member confused, but she just let it go for the time being.

Corinna's squad began following closely behind Levi's on their horses, scanning the area thoroughly for any Titans.

A slight shake from the ground caught Corinna's attention, but she disclosed it as her horse running at a different pace.

That was, until she studied the horses hoof  movements as the ground shook once again, her eyes widening at the realization.

She shot her head up and yelled, "Levi!"

Levi cocked his head back with an annoyed expression. "What is it!?"

Corinna's eyes flicked every which way, attempting to locate the source that was causing the ground to pound underneath her.

"The ground is shaking, I believe there's a Titan nearby!" The blonde informed.

Levi was about to reprimand her, but before he could do so a ten meter titan peeked  around the surrounding trees, running at an alarming pace.

Suddenly, another Titan showed itself also sprinting behind the ten meter Titan, but this one was smaller than the ten meter- and both were going in the direction of the scouts.

"Corrina, take the smaller bastard. I'll get the ten meter!" Levi ordered as he carefully propped himself standing on top of his black horse.

She obliged, using the rope that was around her horses neck by whipping its neck to make it go faster. The horse went around Corinna and Levi's squad, going for the Titans.

Corinna placed her hands on her horse and stood up, readying herself to fight the Titan. She's killed many of them, so she wasn't worried nor scared of it.

She was excited.

Once Corinna was close enough to the Titan, she aimed her grapple hooks at the Titans lower leg, and proceeded to fire.

She jumped of her horse for a boost, swinging through the air almost elegantly as she swung through the Titans open legs. Now on the Titan, Corinna ran up its back before unhooking the grappling hooks of the ODM gear, before plunging them inside of the Titans back. She then jumped from its lower back, while in the air taking out the swords. Using her odm gear she pulled herself back in, at the same time slicing deep into the Titans nape- causing it to instantly die and tumble to the ground.

Corrina stayed foot on its nape as it fell, her odm gear keeping her stiff from potentially falling off from the Titan.

Meanwhile, Levi had already killed the ten meter and returned to his horse, as for the squads they halted waiting for the next orders.

Corrina retraced her grapple hooks from the Titans body and placed her swords inside the holster, letting out a deep breath of satisfaction.

"You going to just stand there for several years or are you going to get back on your damn horse?" Levi sarcastically asked.

The blonde shot Levi a scowl, before walking  to her horse to get back on it.

God, she hated him and his sour attitude.

"Next time, don't take that long!"

Corrina could feel her anger at the Ackerman rising quickly. How could he scold her for taking long at killing a titan? She doesn't have the awesome power that he possesses. She's merely a normal human who happens to be good at what she does.

"Shut up, will you, Levi?! I'm sick of your shit!" Corinna yelled, knowing that losing her temper at a time like this was wrong. But, she couldn't stop it when it comes to Levi.

Because to her, everything about him makes her skin crawl with rage.

How was he not content that she risks her life like everyone else by killing Titans? Humanities biggest threat? Being quick has nothing to do with it.

"Tch," Levi groaned, ignoring her words. "Let's keep going, and no more talking unless you spot a Titan!"

Corinna gritted her teeth together as her hands started to shake from annoyance.

Nobody could make her this mad.

That was something only Levi could do.

The blonde opened her mouth to speak, but, Lila caught on and abruptly stopped her from causing another argument to break out.

"Corinna, just drop it. It's not worth it, okay?" The Brunette whisper yelled, trying not to let Levi overhear.

She was about to snap at her squad mate- but Lila was gazing at her with condoling emerald eyes, and they made her calm down.

"Okay," Corrina sighed. "Sorry."

The horses began to run again, as a thick silence fell upon the air.

The blonde was just glad she didn't have to hear Levi at this moment.

-
