Chapter 3

The cadets of the 104th training squad gathered outside. The bright sunlight shone down upon you and your fellow soldiers as you awaited you 'superiors'.

The field you were in was laced with frost. With it being early winter, it had snown ocassoinally. Thankfully your team leaders had allowed you to wear thick thermals underneath your clothing, keeping the cold from hitting your skin.

A cold wind blew sending some shivers up your fellow cadets spines. The sound of footsteps was the only thing that stopped you from making a sarcastic comment to Jean, who was begrudgingly by your side.

Corporal Levi, and Hanji made their way over to you, following instructions you gave them your best salute, the other soldiers following.

"Today, you will train in hand to hand combat!!" Shouted Hanji excitedly, provoking and annoyed tsk from Levi. "Out of commander Erwin's orders, we will be training along with you!" Hanji clapped her hands excitedly as another gust of cold air blew around you, causing you to let out a small shiver. "Now!!! Since there is an odd number of you!! One of you will have to figh-er spar with one of us! So, the odd one out will be Captain Levi's partner!!" Hanji giggled as she turned around to the shorter man besides her, "Aye I thought you were going first." Levi said sharply. "I lied!!!" Hanji replied with a demonic look.

"Hey! (F/n)!" Eren called slowly running up to you, a small wooden dagger placed in his hand. You smiled politely as Eren stopped besides you, "so, you wanna take the knife?" He asked holding the wooden dagger out words"Eh, why not?".

You grabbed the wooden tool as Eren took a step backwards, you doing the same. You twisted your body so the hand with the dagger was shielding you just above the eyes. Your other hand was farther back and slightly bent, and all the while your hand was curled in a thin leather gloved fist.

Eren took a step forward about to strike when he suddenly stopped. His arm had suddenly reached up, hand curled into a fist. The brunette slammed his fist across his heart, a perfect salute as he stared fearfully at the figure behind you. Warily turning around, you gave a weak salute to Levi. The dagger still in your other hand. "Yes heichou?" You asked casually, provoking a wary glance from Eren.

Levi was short. But not that short. You were a good two centimeters taller than him, and surprisingly four centimeters shorter than Eren. But still, your eyes had to slightly look down to meet his gaze. The man clicked his tongue, "your my new sparring partner cadet (l/n)-" "but I already have a sparring partner." Eren threw a wide eyed and fearful glare at you. "Oi I wasn't done brat. Your so called horse face friend over there was the odd man out. And if you shitty brats think I'm gonna spar with scum like him with no training or talent, then your wrong." Levi through a glare at Eren as he awaited your reply.

"Alright." You said as Levi began walking away. Nodding for you to follow. "Oi, and leave the filthy knife. I don't play with toys."

You threw the knife behind you, which surprisingly Eren caught. The titan shifter threw a wide eyed and fearful look at you as you walked off in the direction of your corporal.
