Authors Note: Ello. I'm just leaving this here to let you guys know that this is my first fanfic and I really hope you all enjoy it. I'm still working on it as I plan to make this a fairly long 'series', if you could manage to call that. I have this set up on both Wattpad and Fanfiction, so I'll leave links to both sites on here. If you guys can I wouldn't mind you'd leave a comment, telling me your thoughts on the chapter and what not so yeah. I'd also like to give a shout out to a friend of mine that helped proof read my work, BlackNippleSwag. Anyways without further ado, enjoy!

Info. Just for the record, this is set in an alternate universe but same setting as Attack on Titan. The only real difference with my story is that, none of the characters of the cannon series exist, as well as the character titans. That's about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Attack on Titan, I however do own the characters in the story.

"Tch... Troublesome..." ~ Hikari Kishi

"This year seems to have quite the turnout." Laughed one of the twelve instructors that stood within the large rocky fields. The same man looked down at the wooden clip board that lay within his hands before glancing over at his assistant next to him. "Something wrong?" he questioned the younger woman, having noticed that her expression was that of a troubled one. "Eh...? N-no sir..." she muttered before redirecting her gaze towards the ground.

"Heh, you know you don't have to lie to me Kayla. I'm going to go ahead and take a shot in the dark. You're wondering why the head instructor is yelling at the cadets, correct?" He asked curious to know if his assumptions were correct. The two were circling around the large group of people, they were one of the many groups of people that were watching the young cadets. They had to jot down notes on their future students.

"I just don't understand sir. Why must he yell at them in such a manner, does he take some sort of pleasure out of insulting his students?" She whispered, almost as if afraid that he'd somehow hear her from such a far distance.

"Eh...? Well, you see, it's a rite of passage. Their prior identities are forcibly discarded, leaving blank slates, and from there we can mold them into true soldiers. Valenzo's in charge of dealing with that." He explained knowing that they all had to undergo the same 'test'. The two shifted their attention over to the man at the center of the training ground. He was currently weaving through the ungodly amount of people, searching for his next victim. A smirking cadet caught his eye, "Hmm..." it took the commander only seconds before he was holding the boy by his collar. "STATE YOUR NAME CADET!" the sudden action caught the trainee off guard.

"Leon Savage, of the Trost District Sir!" The response was quick and loud. "AND WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?!" he questioned, inching his face closer to the teens. "I came because I plan to be known as humanities greatest soldier, Sir!" Valenzo couldn't help but laugh, "DO YOU REALIZE HOW FOOLISH YOU SOUND?!" irritated by his comment Savage opened his mouth prepared to respond, "Well, si-" having been punched mid-sentence he'd double over and groan. Breathing became difficult due to having had the wind knocked out of him. "You won't last long maggot."

"SQUAD FIVE ABOUT FACE!" the sound of several feet stomping on the floor in unison rung throughout the air. The man passed by several cadets without anything other than a glance. "Um... Mr. Sosa, what's going on? Why is he just passing by some of the recruits? He's not even bothering to look directly at them." At that comment, the instructor just smiled. "Well, Kayla, some people have already gone through the rite of passage. You see, a few of these recruits have experienced the hell that took place three years ago." The junior-instructor nodded softly "Right... " She returned her eyes over to those around Valenzo.

The commander was currently looking for his next victim, although prior to popular belief he didn't enjoy his job but he knew that it was necessary.'Alright, I've tortured them long enough... It has been several hours, time to dismiss the- Huh?' Valenzo had caught someone doing something that no one's ever had the courage to do before. One of the cadets near his left had been glaring at him, it honestly caught the commander off guard. Slowly turning he'd return the younglings gaze before strutting over to him. "You." His voice was low, barely even audible. "Hikari Kishi." the boy's response was swift, and a bit louder than he had anticipated.

It took a moment before the instructor decided on what he should do. All happening within a quick second he'd grab Hikari by his jackets collar before pulling upward, lifting him up off the ground. "Don't think you're something special kid... I'm gonna make sure that you drop out. Can't wait to make your life a living hell." Valenzo figured that yelling at him wouldn't work, as the teen had already undergone the rite of passage. The look in his eyes revealed how broken he truly was, but it also revealed his hatred for the head teacher. It was within that moment that the instructor brought his head forward, slamming his forehead into the Hikari's before letting go of his clothes. It was without question that Hikari fell onto his knees, but he refused to drop his gaze. The commander looked down at him with a frown.

Kishi's dark brown eyes were focused on the man that towered over him. His light brown hair fell down over his face, somehow not covering his eyes. Underneath the standard uniform jacket he wore a black shirt, somewhat of an odd choice due to everyone else favoring the lighter colors. Having kept his head tilted upwards, the sunlight would hit his lightly tanned skin with full force, the light somewhat causing him to squint.

"I've had about enough of staring at you people. You're all dismissed." Valenzo said before walking off, it seemed as if he had something on his mind. The other instructors would follow shortly after, they just needed to make sure that all numbers were accounted for. "Damn kid, you've got some balls." A female voice came from behind Hikari. "Hm..?" turning his head to the side he shot the girl a glance. Her long brown hair was pulled into a low pony-tail, a pair of thick black glasses rested upon the bridge of her nose. The sun seemed to bounce off her pale white skin, for whatever reason she decided she'd wish to speak with him. "The name's Athena Loris, I didn't quite catch yours." She said flashing him a lopsided smile.

Another cadet joined the mix, this time he'd drape his arm over Athena's shoulder, he darkly tanned skin somewhat hidden beneath his clothes. A smirk forming at his lips, his light brown eyes were focused on Hikari, his free hand scratching his recently shaved head. Leon just stared at him with a somewhat confused expression. Athena shot her friend an annoyed glance before elbowing at his sides. "Ow! Hey you didn't have to go ahead and hit me!" He complained all the while rubbing the area that she had struck. "Shut it Leon. Anyways, excuse my friend but he's a bit of a loudmouth. This is Leon Savage, guess you might recognize him cause he was one of the last ones to get his ass beat by the commander." She gestured over Savage.

It wasn't difficult to deduce that the two came from the same district as they had seemed to already have a sort of bond. "What's his name anyways?" Leon nodded over to the teen having noticed that he had never answered Athena. Slowly pushing himself up to stand Hikari dusts off the dirt that was beginning to stain his pants. Once again Hikari, who stood in front of them turned his head, and shot them a cautioned glance. "Tch... Troublesome..." He muttered before shaking his head and walking off leaving the two of them behind.

"Well, isn't he a dick?" Athena scoffed, and Leon simply laughed. "Maybe he just thought you were annoying, I mean you can get pretty annoying." She simply elbowed him again causing him to yelp. Crowds had begun to form in the center of the training grounds as most people were trying to find their friends and or others they could relate to. Hikari on the other hand had headed straight for the barracks, he refused to partake in any 'events' with others. All he truly wanted to do was sleep away the rest of the day and wait for tomorrow, he hoped that's when the training would begin. He moved quickly, avoiding the large groups of people and ignoring anyone that tried reaching out to him. The male barracks weren't too far off, it was only about a fifteen minute walk and Hikari would have no issue with that. Slowly looking around he made sure no one was looking before rubbing the spot that was left on his forehead.

Leon and Athena, would dwell in conversation for a couple of minutes before leaving for their own dorms. The two had decided on becoming soldiers together, as they figured if one was having issues the other could help. They were both quite annoyed with the way Hikari had acted but simply forgot about his entire existence as the day went on. After the two had separated, Leon entered his room with a small smile, excluding having the wind knocked out of him, his day was going great.

It was then that he noticed that there were a total of three people in the room, one of which was unpacking whatever it was they had. There were two bunk beds, one was pushed onto the left wall, while the other on the right. Two wooden dressers lay in-between the beds, the idea being that two people share one dresser. Savage then took a moment to analyze the people that he'd be sharing a room with. On the top bunk of the bed that lay against the right wall sat a boy in criss cross position. The two shared a glance, the other boys light brown eyes staring into Savage's own. This boy's eyes were somewhat slanted, but a slight grin was paved onto his lips. The type of smile that revealed his teeth, he was currently hunched over busy unpacking all his junk from a black duffle bag.

On the bottom bunk of the same bed lay a kid who appeared to be somewhat chubby. When Leon had walked in the boy bothered to get up into a sitting position, shooting Leon an annoyed look before laying back down on the comfy cushion. During the few seconds that he and Leon made eye contact Leon noticed that the boy had dark lilac circles underneath his eyes. His hair was jet black and short though the way it was cut help emphasize the roundish shape of his head. This kid also appeared to have pale skin, somewhat reminding Leon of Athena's own color. A dark red book bag was poorly tucked underneath the wooden frame of the bed, leaving Leon to figure that this kid was just to lazy to unpack his stuff.

That's when Leon's eyes traveled over to the opposite side of the room, on the bottom bunk lay a familiar figure. It was the same long haired guy from before, Hikari lazed around in his bed, not even bothering to look over at the newcomer. 'Guess I'm taking top bunk.' Slowly Savage made his way over to the bed on the left, he grunted softly as he threw his own duffle bag on the bunk. After having done that he turned around and introduced himself to his roommates. "Hi, the name's Leon Savage, nice to meet you guys." The oriental that lay on the opposite side on the top bunk waved over to him, flashing him a smile. "Davis Crowe, nice to meet you." Having taken a moment past tense the teen on the bottom bunk raised a hand and waved unenthusiastically "Jack... Jack Sibori." And with that he dropped his hand before rolling onto his side in order to face the wall, giving Leon the impression that Jack wasn't in the mood to talk. Quickly taking the hint he inhaled deeply before turning back to his bunk, pulling himself up onto the top bunk he sat in the same position that Davis was in before he started to unpack his bags. 'This'll definitely be interesting.'


Onto another note. If you guys could please leave behind a comment or so telling me your thoughts on the first chapter that'd be awesome.
