Armin stared in disbelief at the man in front of them,not only did he save his comrades but killed the titans without the use of ODM gear. While he did nothing and be a nuisance to other, it just so frustrating

"I was weak!" the boy cried, "I wasn't strong enough to save anyone! My comrades were almost killed! Thomas, Mina, Eren! I wasn't strong! All of you were about to be killed by the Titans! Eren was eaten right in front of me and I couldn't do anything at all! I'M WEAK!" Armin screamed, making his comrades flinch. Armin was usually the collected one but its alien to see him like

"A-armin" mina whimpered, as armin falls in all four as tears stream down

Guts looked on at the shocked teens in front of him, he notes that they are wearing the same uniform, meaning they are some sort of organized force, soldier most likely. As for the blonde one, it's clear that he's distressed in losing his friend in front of him and is letting out the pent up grievance. Though Guts detest the state he's in, refuses to do anything to change, but he's not hopeless, he just needs a push.

Guts sets the girl, she lets out a yelp as she looks at him as he takes his sword and sets it on his shoulder he then walks ahead towards amin. She thinks the worst to happen, so does the other two they wanted to stop him but fear prevented them from moving. This 'man' was able to end their lives if he wished, so they couldn't do anything if they wanted to. As they fear for their friend's life the man in black stops in front of armin, who was looking at the ground. The man took his massive blade and rise it above armin then he lowered to his shoulder

Armin head snapped up realizing the the stranger is in front of him, he turned to the side and sees the man's sword resting on his shoulder, or more accurately the stranger is holding it above his shoulder. he barely felt it graze his shoulder catching his attention, that tell armin that the man has mastery over his weapon.

He looks back up but immediately averts his eyes, looking into his eye was unsettling.

"What are you going to do?" the man spoke, armin heard him but he was focused on his dialect. "Oi" armin looked up at him giving his full attention

"What are you going to do?" he asked again, the cadet simply stared intimated as well as fearing if his answer upset him. Seeing his hesitation, Guts opted for another approach.

"What is your mission?" armin was caught off guard by that, why does want to know?

"Our-our mission is to evacuate people out of the city, '' he answered. "And find a way to kill all titans and secure the gate before the armored titan appears."

Titans huh..

"But you can't do that sitting there and doing nothing" he spat out, making the boy flinch " you do that and more people will die, and the mission will be a failure. Your friend died for you didnt he? The boy gives a weak nod "then you're spitting on his grave on the way you are. Complete your mission and save people"

Armin stared at the man facing him fully. Why is he willing to-. Armin's thoughts were put in a halt as he saw the stranger raise his sword at him, he reels back falling behind at the mercy of the stranger. However the stranger leapt over him, armin turns around and see that he's handling a titan

With a single swing he ripped through the titans legs causing it to fall on its back. He then proceeded to hack away on the titan, as the cadet looked on. Mina, nack and millues look on at the scene, the strength display is unreal to take out the legs in a single slice. Armin finds the will to stand up and watches the stranger reducing the titan into pieces.  At first he was confused but soon realized that he had no knowledge of titans.
