Woohoo! Another late chapter! I'm going to have to change the summary if this happens again. Got a review saying that it was moving a bit fast, so I tried to slow this chapter down a little. Hope you enjoy!

(Reader P.O.V.)
You quickly re-pack your lunch and shove it and the rest of your belongings into your backpack.
"Okay, I'm ready now," you say. Armin grabs your wrist and practically drags you down the hall and around the corner.
"Wabuuuuuuugh!" you yell as you stumble, trying to keep up.
"We finally get to learn about the outside world!" shouts Armin, grinning wildly. "I can't believe it!"
"Hey, wait up!" calls Jean as he starts running after you.
"I wanna learn about the outside world too!" says Connie.
"Don't forget me!" yells Eren. The rest of the group exchanges looks, shrugs, and starts sprinting down the hall after you.
"I'm coming too!"
"No way you're seeing that without me!"
"Or me!"
Armin lets go of your wrist as you reach the top of the stairs. "C'mon, the library is just through here." he says as you climb the last few steps. Armin walks over to a large set of double doors set in the wall to your right. He grips the iron knockers and pulls. Squeeeeacch. You clap your hands over your ears. "What was that?" you exclaim. "Oh, sorry," he says apologetically. "I forgot, the hinges are rusty." "That's alright," you reply as you let your hands fall and walk over to the doors. "I'll help." You grip one knocker with both hands and Armin moves aside to give you some space. "On the count of three, (f/n)?" Armin asks, looking at you. "Sure," you say. "One, two, three!"
On three, you both give a mighty tug. Squeeeeeeeaccchh. Both of you wince at the horrible sound, but keep pulling. You and Armin manage to get them all the way open just as the others arrive at the top of the stairs.
"Alright," you say as you turn to face them. "Let's get started."
(Levi's P.O.V.)
Levi sat in his office re-reading one of the more recent expedition reports. He sighed as he reached the bottom of the page where it read "Bodies recovered- 22. Troops missing in action- 35. Estimated total casualties- 60." Damned Titans… How is it that you lumbering half-wits have managed to wreak such havoc on humanity? Slowly standing up, Levi placed the report on his desk. If not for you, we would still be proud and strong… He walked over to his office door and set his hand on the handle.
CRASH!
Levi blinked and narrowed his eyes. Was that one of Hanji's experiments? Distant voices echoed up through the castle.
"Oh god! I'm so sorry, Armin!"
"Heh. That's okay, Krista. It just hit my arm."
No… It's those brats downstairs. What could they possibly be doing that's making such a racket?
"I FOUND ONE!"
"Awesome! Thanks, Eren!"
"It's that girl!" hissed Levi, his eyes widening. "What the hell-"
"Here's another one!"
"Does this count?"
"I can't understand this one, but it looks relevant." How the hell do they manage to be so loud? wondered Levi and he sighed and went downstairs to see what the hell was going on.
"OW!"
"Crap! Crap crap crap crap crap! Sorry Jean!"
"Get over it. It's not like it hurt."
"Was that really necessary, Mikasa?"
"...Yes." We need some goddamn insulation in this place.
"Can we scoot this over a little bit?"
"There's not enough room."
"Alright, lets move this then."
"Hrng! Okay, nevermind."
"Oi, Bertolt! Think you can carry this over to that table?" Shitty brats need to quiet down. I can't work with that clamor. Levi reached the bottom of the stairs and peered around the corner before walking towards the library entrance, where Reiner and Ymir were carting armfuls of books back and forth.
"Hey. What the hell is going on?" Levi spat. "You punks need to take it down a notch. You're making so much noise that I can hear you upstairs."
Ok. Really short chapter, but I was crunched for time and really not feeling the story today. You all have my sincere apologies.
