"So you just run up there, and slice its nape."
"Just like that?"
"Mhmm!"
Levi looked down at his blades. These things could kill a titan. The 3DMG would do most of the work for him, too. All he needed to do was cut the back of the titan's neck. Easy enough, right? He gave Hanji a look. She made it sound so simple. It couldn't possibly be that easy, could it? "Really?"
"Yeah!" Hanji nodded enthusiastically. "I already tried it. I'm sure if I can do it, you can do it a million times more!" she encouraged.
Levi furrowed his brows pensively. All he had to do was jump and slice it at the nape. He looked over at his target: a wooden dummy which represented a titan. Just go already, screamed a voice in his head. Ugh. The man groaned, then ran across the shingled roof, toward the dummy, and jumped with all the force he could. This is just practice, he reminded himself as he approached the titan. As soon as he could, he would swish his blades forward and successfully kill the enemy. Simple enough. He could do thi–
Wait. No. What? Apparently he had pushed his body weight too much too one side as he jumped, because now he was spinning quickly in midair. His hair was in his face, and he was getting incredibly dizzy. Don't throw up, he warned himself. That would be really gross. Levi refused to outwardly express his panic in any way except for the string of instinctive panicked swears that left his lips as he spun around. Good thing no one could hear him as he mumbled, "No, no, wait! Shit, shit shit," over and over.
Shk! Levi perked up at the sound of his blades hitting something. He had accidentally sliced the nape of the titan-dummy's neck while in his panicked state of spinning around. He was so busy being surprised by the fortuitous set of events that he had almost crashed right into the next building. Just at the last second, however, he noticed the incoming wall and managed to land properly on the roof. And all without a single scratch. Impressive.
"Whoa!" Hanji squealed excitedly. "Holy crap, Levi! That was amazing!" the woman exclaimed, flailing her arms in the air to emphasize her point in one way or another. In all her excitement of the other's accomplishment, the brunette shot her maneuver gear over to Levi's building and flew over to where the raven haired man was standing. "How did you even do that?"
Levi licked his lips and looked down at his blades again. "It was nothing," he said in his simple, usual monotone voice. "It's just like you said, shitty-glasses. It's easy, isn't it?"
