The sun beamed down in the sky over the training camps. Today the survivors from Shiganshina and other recruits stood before the drill sergeant. They had come from every surrounding village simply to help fight the titans. Some from the outer wall, others from the inner walls; regardless they had all come to provide their skills to the core.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin the trio of friends had all joined the core together. While Mikasa had natural skill in her blood; Eren ran off pure determination and revenge. However Armin simply worked off intellect and intuitiveness.

"You have all come here for one thing and one thing only. To provide yourselves as future aid to fighting the titans" Shadis yelled sharply. Here proved your worth and skill to aiding the titans; anyone who couldn't take the pressure would quit and become field workers.

However the rare few who could take the training would go onto the join either the military police or the Survey core in an aid to fight the titans. "Look at you all with your straight faces; think you're all hot shit huh? Well listen up pipsqueaks. In here vs out there is VERY different!" Shadis spat abruptly.

Here was nothing; simply training your skills until you became one of the top ranking students. Once you were beyond here and fighting titans for real; did you learn where you stood.

Shadis walked through the crowds of separated trainee's looking them up and down quietly. Some showed promise; others looked completely useless and would not make it through one day.

He frowned menacingly; had things really come to this. Compared to all the other hundreds of squads they had really hit the bottom of the barrel. Were there no other promising students to become soldiers? God damn the choices were slim and quite a few looked god damn pathetic in his eyes.

More than a few would most likely end up in the potato fields; he could practically smell the fear in their eyes. Hell he could smell it in the air; bunch of god damn wet pussy ass brats. If they could barely stand up to him; how could they face titans?

He stopped before a blonde soldier; his hair was cropped and he was the smallest of them all. If anything he looked like the bastard son of He-Man after a long night.

"YOU SOLDIER?!" Shadis shouted suddenly. The boy straightened and became tensed; obviously hadn't expected to be attacked first"What's your name boy? Shadis raged impatiently.

"Armin Arlert sir!" Armin answered back loudly. Given this man's temper he would do well not to piss him off. He would hate to think what this guy was capable of should someone try their luck being cocky.

"You look like a shrimp had sex with a pixie? What's a Shorty like you doing in the core?" Shadis taunted brashly. Hell this brat would be lucky if he managed to get past training with his size. He would be fast no doubt but he could be easily lost. If a Titan grabbed him nobody would notice.

Armin hesitated "To contribute to humanity's survival sir!" Armin yelled back bravely. He knew he wasn't as powerful as the others; but god damn would he try. He may have been small; but he was a god damn fighter.

"You think someone like you could help us? What could a girly boy like you do for humanity's cause? You think Titans like pretty boys?!" Shaddis raged back. Did he think if he batted his eyes they wouldn't kill him?

"I may be short sir and I'm not as strong as the others. But I am by no means an idiot!" Armin replied quickly. At age 10 he had surpassed his friends and other villagers as far as intellect. He had only grown smarter with age.

Shaddis grabbed his head and turned him away quietly "Smartass huh? Let's see how long you last in training" he retorted before walking away. He marched and yelled at other recruits yelling at a few now and again. Some were able to breathe easy knowing that he would not pass by them.

He eventually came to a short dark haired boy with freckles. The boy was smiling out of pure fear. "What's your name freckles? You look awfully happy for someone whose about to fight man eating giants!" Shadis yelled back loudly.

"Marco Bodtt sir! I can't wait to become a soldier and fight for the king sir. It would be a great honour to fight for the sake of humanity!" he replied fearfully a smile plastered on his face. He would never show just how scared he was; while he was scared shitless he would never show his true intimidation.

"Well looks like we got a dreamer; what makes you think a sunshine ass-kisser like you could get under the kings belt?!" Shadis retorted mockingly. Many dreamed about fighting under the king's aid and being in the police squad; however only the best were picked for such thing. As expected it came with all the perks but was frowned upon by many.

"I...um..." Marco stammered nervously. He had dreamed of doing so since he was young; working alongside his best friend Jean. However he sometimes doubted if such a thing was ever possible.

"Listen here freckles McGee; you may think you're cut out but let me tell you. I eat goody goodies like you for breakfast. Until I think your worth shit; then I'd give up that dream boy!" Shadis retorted coldly and walked on.

Marco frowned quietly after he left sadness filling his heart. While he knew this was to be expected as a soldier. It didn't make him any less upset hearing such hurtful things from his sergeant.

He then approached his best friend Jean; while he could come across as a narcissistic prick with a boot up his ass. He was actually a really sensitive and caring guy once you got past his layers.

"HOW ABOUT YOU HORSE FACE?" Shadis spat coldly. His face was very long but in no way resembled a horse; but he was a bit stuck up for a teenager. Bet he'd been babied all his life; pansy ass little shit.

"I want to serve in the police sir! So I can live out a respectable career!" Jean responded bluntly. Only the best of the best served in the police squad; but it also meant living in the inner walls and where attacks were lessened. If he could keep his family safe; he didn't mind the reputation.

Suddenly he was met with a head butt to the skull causing him to fall to his knees and grip his head in pain. He felt like he had just been thrown at a brick wall head on with the force of a cannon.

"Let me guess boyo; you want a respectable life with no regrets huh? Well let me tell you; kissing ass gets you nowhere son! Here we can see right through the bullshit and beat that out of you sooner than you can say fuck me!" Shadis snapped coldly.

Suddenly a cold chuckle was heard somewhere in the crowd. It was most definitely female and sounded mocking towards both Jean and Shadis. Whoever had let the laugh escape had balls of steel. Nobody under his training laughed under his eye; he would beat that right out of them before they could say "bobs your uncle"

He looked around to see a girl no older than 15 to 16 years of age. She had eyes the colour of blood and chest length hair. It was pitch black with purple highlights running through it. By standards for age she was stunning; she would no doubt be stealing hearts in no time during her training period.

She was not that much taller than jean reaching at a 5'6" in height and a 32C in chest size. As far as appearance she was rather stunning; but her expression was cold and hard; hinted with a smirk aching to appear.

Shadis left Jeans side slowly leaving the cadet sprawled on the floor gripping his aching head. He approached the girl slowly to challenge her brave sense of cockiness of seeing another soldier in pain.

"Something funny Cadet?" he hissed coldly. Did she think she was out of the woods? That she was safe from his wrath. Teacher may have ignored hr bitchiness but he sure as hell didn't. He didn't let any snarky, uptight fucker get past him; they all were beaten into fighters.

"Just his ego sir" the girl stated bluntly. She could tell off the bat that he had never suffered a day in his life. Thus he could easily brag and act better than his fellow trainee's. Lucky bastard.

Shadis huffed in amusement; she definitely had balls but she also had sarcasm. That wouldn't last long here; unless she kept her bossiness "Seems to me like you got yourself an attitude missy; what's your name soldier?!" he ordered sharply.

The girl slammed her fists against her chest quickly "Elsa Beltz sir! Age 16!" she said proudly her tone fearless. The surname was from her fathers side and she was named Elsa by her mother. Oh the irony that she had been named by 2 of the worst people she could have ever imagined.

"Well aint that cute! We got ourselves a wannabe princess! You think titans will kiss your ass like everyone has your whole life?! Well think again little girl!" Shadis taunted coldly. She was probably used to getting what she wanted with that attitude; well not here.

A cold anger snapped through her eyes and a look of hatred filled Elsa's eyes. She looked up into Shadis eyes with the look of a primal beast. She wasn't afraid of this uptight stone cold fossil.

For once in his life Shadis felt actual fear in his blood; her eyes were the same as a beast locked in a cage. Ready to kill without hesitation; but holding back for the sake of sanity and survival. It was both frightening and intimidating at the same time; but also quite amazing.

He smirked in amusement "That's quite a look there Miss Beltz; tell me you act that way in front of mummy and daddy" he hissed mockingly. While he was intimidated he would not be beaten by a mere trainee with a bit of attitude.

Without hesitation Beltz raised her knee and hit Shadis straight in the crotch before he could think. His face went into pure shock and he actually went stiff for a few minutes threatening to fall over. He hadn't been hit that hard in years; but never once in the groin and never by a woman.

He lost his sight for a few minutes blacking out and going silent for a long time. A few other male trainee's grabbed their crotches and made painful sounds of gratitude. He could only imagine they felt lucky not be him right now; and that was understandable for any male regardless of age.

"You don't scare me; I've seen hell that none of the fuckers could even imagine" Elsa taunted darkly. The very images of her past, every memory, ever second; all the physical and emotional scars that had pained her. There was very little that could scare her anymore; she was no longer innocent.

Shadis eventually regained his sanity after the ache of his jewels from her impact. He glared at her and re-positioned himself quietly. He towered over her menacingly his eyes filled with a frightening rage.

Many other cadets filled with fear and more than enough sweat ran down their heads. She was in for it now; she was so fucked. While they admired her bravery; nobody went against Shadis and got away safely.

"I like you cadet; you have more balls than most of your pathetic team members here. Keep that up and you may just become a useful weapon" he sneered wickedly. This girl had the eyes of a beast and radiated pure intense survival instincts. She showed no fear or hesitation; she acted on her instincts and didn't show signs of backing down.

He then walked away his groin still aching but an impression well left. He would not punish her; but he would make her train harder than the others tomorrow. Her self defense training, 3D gear, forest hiking and titan fighting would be harder than anyone else's.

Later that evening

Elsa sat quietly at a table by herself eating her soup; she wasn't a huge people person and didn't trust others easily. The last time she allowed herself to trust someone; two people close to her betrayed her. She would never make such a mistake again; for it would simply cause her more trouble.

Staying away from others, isolating herself and looking out for herself was the best way to be. She could protect herself from being hurt, no being held back, no losses and no problems. Safest way to be; and the easiest too.

"Excuse me?" a nervous voice said. She looked up to see a short blonde boy, a dark haired girl and a brown haired boy standing before her. The girl was blank faced, the brown one looked pissed off and the blonde looked nervous.

Elsa clicked her teeth and sighed heavily "Do what you want" she muttered crossly. She had hoped to eat her meal in peace and then relax in her bunk and read; but sadly things had taken an unwanted turn.

The three sat down at the table quietly joining her. No doubt her actions earlier had gotten her an unwanted fan club. She hated these kinds of people; because they set unrealistic ideas of what the person was like. They never bothered to get to know the person at all.

"So um...your name is Elsa right?" the blonde boy said awkwardly. She sure was intimidating for someone who was only a year older than them. However appearances were often deceiving such as with Eren.

Elsa raised her eyebrow suspiciously "What of it? You trying to ask me out pretty boy? Cos it looks like you would have better chance asking one of your own gender" she mocked venomously.

There was no doubt in her mind that he and these two were going to ask to hang out with her. Then would come the ass kissing and unwanted attention; which she would rather avoid.

The blonde looked hurt and stunned by her response; he was only trying to be nice. It seemed her behaviour towards Shadis earlier hadn't just been a form of defense. She really was like that to her core.

Eren shot up from his chair angrily; nobody spoke like that to his friends. Why was she being such a bitch to someone who was being nothing but polite? He hated people who treated others like they were nothing.

Elsa simply looked up at him coldly her eyes unwavering. Seems this little shortie was a bit of a hothead; how interesting. However she wondered what he would look like when he was truly afraid and crying like a bitch.

"You take that back! Armin was only being nice! How can you speak to him like that?!" Eren snapped defensively his tone filled with rage. Nobody insulted people he cared about and got away with it.

A few of the other cadets stared at the show but didn't move. A few others whispered but he took no notice. They were all used to Eren's impulsive temper by now; but it didn't mean they didn't enjoy the show.

Elsa's eyes became hard and angry; she glared at Eren menacingly "What good does being kind do? Humans are so easily able to lie and manipulate their own kind! What makes you think I should trust any of you when you obviously came here to learn tricks to help you pass?! She spat angrily her tone defensive.

She knew out of these three the girl was the most skilled; it came to her as naturally as water. There was no doubt she would pass in the top ranks when it came to the training. However her two friends were holding her back; if she just ditched them she could easily climb the ranks.

The blonde lacked any form of physical strength whatsoever; he was so obviously taken advantage of it was laughable. However as far as intellect went; he was academically brilliant. However it would take more than just brains to beat a titan.

Then there was Mr Hothead himself. He showed no fear or state of backing down. Hell he was more of a beast than she was; pure survival and determination. However he let his pride and rage control him; instead of thinking intuitively he let his rage get the better of him.

However those sorts of things would get you killed out there; hell she didn't doubt in a fight that the girl would be the one to survive. She had no interest in people like that; because they only wanted her for the sake of her skills.

Eren clicked his teeth angrily; this girl was such a bitch. Granted he wasn't the easiest person to get along with; but he never acted like she did off the bat. They hadn't even done anything wrong.

Elsa huffed crossly "You gonna stand there all night big guy or sit down and eat. Then again I'll probably be done soon so I can get some head space" she said coldly. For someone not that much older than her; he certainly acted like a brat.

Eren growled angrily then sat down in his seat again. He was so filled with rage right now that if anyone started on him he'd probably beat the shit out of them. However for the sake of his friends and not attracting Shadis; he was keeping it together. But what he did know was; he didn't like this girl's attitude.
