Delete That!!

Levi watched the two silently for a moment.

“Not bad. But your initial stance is weak and your footing is wrong, (L/N).” (F/N) lowered her weapon and looked towards Levi. The captain took a few steps closer.

“Get into position.” (F/N) did as she was told. Parting her legs slightly and raising her sword to an upright position at her right shoulder. Levi moved to stand behind her and kicked her right foot.

“Put your right foot behind you.” (F/N) shifted, bringing her foot back a little, swallowing hard as her stomach started to flutter. Levi suddenly grabbed her by the hips, making her entire body stiffen as he turned her hips forcefully.

“Your hips need to be facing your opponent, not turned to the side. It’s a frontal strike, so you have to face her head on.” (F/N) clenched her jaw, pressing her lips together hard as she allowed Levi to guide her into position. When he was satisfied, he brought his right hand up to twist the sword that she was gripping with a vice like grip to turn it into position, his other hand still lingering on her hip.

“When you strike, you bring your right foot forward, but also bring it out to the right. Don’t step straight. Show me.” He finally pulled away, taking a step back and (F/N) released the breath she had been holding as she followed his instruction. Slowly bringing the sword down to tap Annie on the shoulder, stepping forward and to the right. Levi nodded.

“Good. Placing your foot like that, protects you from a counter attack...” he nodded once to Annie, who brought down her sword, clinking it against (F/N)’s and she gave a small nod.

“See, stepping to the right, puts you out of the line of attack, it removes your head from the danger zone if a counterattack comes. And your hands are protected by the cross cut of the sword.” He touched the sword as he spoke, ensuring (F/N) understood what he was saying and she gave a small nod.

“Keep practicing.” He said as he took a step back and turned to observe Armin and Connie. (F/N) stole a glance at Mikasa, who had a shit eating grin on her face and flashed (F/N) a knowing look. (F/N) rolled her eyes, taking a moment to right herself before continuing her training.

At the end of the session, Levi dismissed everyone and they put their swords back and started heading inside. (F/N) replaced her practice sword, giving a light sigh, grateful that the session had passed without much incident.

She headed over to stand with Mikasa and Eren. The dark haired woman smirking at her, raising her eyebrows playfully.

“You and the captain looked awfully cosy.” She teased, turning and starting to head back into the castle with (F/N) and Eren. (F/N) rolled her eyes.

“Shut up, Mikasa, he was helping me with my form.” Eren chuckled, nudging the (H/C) haired woman playfully.

“Yeah, I bet he was.” (F/N) tutted and scowled at him.

“Seriously, Eren? Don’t you start with this shit too.” She grumbled, giving the brunette a sharp shove which just made him laugh harder. (F/N) glared at Mikasa.

“You told me to forget about it and move on... how am I meant to do that when you two keep making fun of me?” she hissed and Mikasa smiled, putting her arm around (F/N)’s shoulders and bringing her into a sideways hug.
