A/N: Guys, this chapter is not necessarily important to understand the story. It just focuses on the training (Y/N) had.
As our character was weak, I wanted to make her stronger so here's the training she had. Meaning there's no Shouto here, sorry. Though I guess it's good news for the ones that like AoT. Also, this chapter is way longer than usual.

I was now in front of his office and I knocked on his door. "Name and bussiness" "(Y/N), I came to talk." I waited for an answer for what felt like an eternity and I was startled when the door was swung open. He glared at me but he eventually returned to his seat, giving his attention to some documents. "I thought I told you that you can't come back." I fidgeted with my fingers to avoid looking at him. I didn't exactly have a plan on how to persuade him. "If you have nothing to say, then get out of here brat."
I knitted my brows and clenched my fists. I don't want to give up and go like last time. So instead, I bowed deeply and said, almost pleading, "I'm sorry. I was wrong to have left like that. I was frustrated because I wasn't making any progress, but I should have done better than complain if I want to be a pro hero. But it won't happen again as I will do my best if you let me! So please, let me train here once again!" I didn't dare to get out of my bowing position, and I closed my eyes tightly waiting for an answer.
"You've already made your decision that time. Things won't change just because you plead." I bitterly opened my eyes as I heard his answer. "I understand... Then I'll be going sir." I turned around and opened the door to get out, but he started again "But, I'll make an exception if you can manage to make a single scratch on me." My eyes glowed as I heard his challenge and I quickly turned my head to look at him, as a happy expression took over my face. "REALLY??" "Tch, go to the training room now. I'll be there in a moment." "YES SIR!"
I rapidly got there and warmed myself up before the battle. He came five minutes after and without warning he tackled me to the floor. "W-What?? That's not fair!" "You are supposed to be alert at all times. You don't wait for your opponent to get ready." I groaned as the way he locked my arms hurt, so I got him off me with a force field. He quickly steadied himself with a graceful backflip and got into fighting position, only to jab again. I protected my body with my arms until I saw an opening and proceeded to punch him when he suddenly kicked my side and I kneeled in pain grabbing the place he hurt. "Are you sure you are even trying?" He said unfazed and I glared at him and did a double kick to his ankles while on the floor, and he stumbled a bit. I used the opportunity to launch a blow to his face, but he quickly kicked my chest and I grunted in pain as he regained his footing. He quickly dashed to me and I forcefully made him fly to the opposite direction as I didn't have time to get up.
He landed safely and said "Hmph, I see you are using your quirk now. Well then, I'll use mine too." I widened my eyes when something squirted out of his hand to my direction. I quickly avoided it and saw that the place that was splashed with it got all sparkly clean, but as I was distracted he caught me off guard at that moment throwing it again. When I realized, I tried to deflect it but some of the liquid got on my left leg. It immediately got my skin all shiny and slippery, almost rubberlike, making me unable to walk properly.
Shit, now that I remember, his quirk leaves the victim in a clean and shiny state that is extremely smooth. That is to say, he literally transforms you into a human soap and you can't do anything anymore. (A/N: any resemblance with the Awa Awa No Mi is pure coincidence, cough cough
♪～(￣ε￣；) )
He kept using his quirk second after second while I continuedly dodged with lots of effort, because if he pours the soapy liquid all over my body, it's over for me. Meanwhile I tried to execute the idea that I came here to talk about, but it was impossible to do as I was attacked every second, and I don't even know if I can pull it off!
I stumbled from exhaustion, and in that second, he splashed my right arm. I instantly felt it wobbly, and I had little to no balance at this point. "There's still not a single scratch on me and I'm not even using half of my power. Does your determination amount to that much?" He finished saying as he launched another attack straight at my face, and I shut my eyes. I tried to not think of anything and only concentrated on making his quirk not work. Then, I heard the liquid evaporating into thin air and I opened my eyes. Did it work? He immediately proceeded to shoot again, but he was perplexed when he couldn't. "Tch".
"I- I DID IT!!!!!" I exclaimed proudly while jumping, resulting in me landing face flat on the floor as I had only one leg to rely on. On that second, my head ached a whole lot and I was barely conscious. He then put his foot on my head "Don't forget that we're still fighting." He then showered me with that soapy liquid of his and my whole body was slippery now. "You lost." He said flatly as he reversed my state, but my consciousness slipped away.
...
I woke up suddenly and my head throbbed a whole lot. "Get up." I did as told and I instantly remembered I lost the fight. Tears began to pour down and while I was trying to stifle my sniffs as much as I could, I heard him sigh. "Listen brat. You didn't manage to graze me and as a man who keeps his promises, I shouldn't accept you back." I nodded understandingly but I quickly shot my head up.
Wait? 'Shouldn't'? Is he trying to say....?
"But, for a second, you shocked me there when I couldn't use my quirk and, as a hero, I'm impressed. So I'm willing to take you back in if-" My mouth gaped open when I heard him say this, and this time my tears turned into tears of happiness as I schreeched incoherent things. He cleared his throat on purpose glaring at me angrily and I quickly shut up and remained still.
"Now, as I was saying, I'll take you in on the condition that you are to clean the halls everyday, starting now." "Yes sir!" I said trying hard to not smile. "Good. Then, I'll get going. It better be shining when I check it." "YES SIR!" He turned around pleased with my answer, but before he walked to the exit, I could see a little smug face on his. When he got out of the room, I quickly threw a mini party with myself.
...
The next day, I resumed my cleaning duties assuming it will be the same as always, but this time Levi interrupted me before I began "Come here brat, you are going to fight someone." I gaped my mouth open and I quickly got up.
When we reached the training room, there was a girl standing in the middle. She had blonde hair and seemed bored to death.
"She's Annie. You'll train with her today and maybe you can learn a thing or two." He obviously said it sarcastically, as if I wouldn't learn anything, hmph. But I decided to ignore it as it was finally my first real training! I was super excited on the inside and I couldn't wait to start.
We both got on our fighting positions. I dashed to her and as soon as I did, I got thrown to the floor with my butt sticking out. W-What?! I quickly got up to make a surprise attack, but she pushed my face and kicked my ankle, and I ended up on the floor again. "Your movements are so predictable and slow. You shouldn't look at where you are planning to attack and make your movements as minimal as possible." I nodded and got on a fighting stand again. I tried to keep in mind what she told me, but she tackled me yet again. This went on for a couple of minutes until I was out of breath.
"It's impossible, you are clearly too strong for me!" I huffed in exasperation. She just calmly stared at me "That's not true. You see that stupid looking guy over there?" She pointed at an emerald eyed boy "I can kick his butt too, and he's way stronger than me." I stared at her in confusion at how was that possible and she shrugged. "It's just that there are some movements that are meant for the weak. It won't hurt for you to learn them".
...
The rest of the week went on like that, with Annie training me and Levi occasionally helping me with my quirk and my newfound ability. It turns out that whenever I use my quirk to erase someone's quirk, it uses up a lot of energy from me so I end up having a hideous headache and faint. But with practice, I didn't faint anymore and the headaches became a little more tolerable, but it also depends on how much time I use it. I bought a little (f/c) watch to measure the time I used my quirk and try to surpass it everytime, being thirty seconds the maximum I had reached for now. If I surpass that limit, I'm out.
Also I've extended the limits to which I can use my quirk, meaning I don't get unlucky as easily as before, but when I do Levi glares annoyedly at me, especially after I've messed up the entire place once. I have nightmares from that day;;
At the end of the day I was always cleaning. Luckily a half horse guy started helping me lately. I think his name was Jean. One day I asked him about what where the others quirk.
"The shitface's quirk is Passion: if he has enough passion he can accomplish whatever he wants. A pretty useless quirk if I say so. The cute girl with black hair, Mikasa, is practically invincible. Her quirk is Protect: when her loved ones are in danger she just gets a power enhancement but, trust me, you don't want to get on her bad side. Though it mostly works when the shitface's in danger... But I guess it's okay since Levi always puts Eren as bait in dangerous missions" Jean said with a wide smile and I shivered a little. "Armin's quirk, the blonde one who seems like a L'oreal model, is Strategy: he's the mastermind behind every plan that requires careful planning. That's why you won't see him here often cause he's highly requested. Petra, her quirk is called Tree Hugger: whenever she hugs someone with both hands, that person immediately becomes a tree for some time. Makes me wonder if she'll ever find her special someone with her quirk." He continued mentioning each hero's quirk, which were a lot, but it made cleaning much more enjoyable.
After we finished cleaning, I went to Levi's office to bid him goodbye. When I did, I turned around to leave when he suddenly said "Brat, tomorrow we are going patrolling so you better prepare yourself."
