Chapter 7


Fighting titans was one hell of a nightmare for the scouting legion. They were in constant fear of not being able to see the sun rise the next day. It was a cruel yet beautiful world and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Among all the members, Eren was the most frightened. He fought titans before with his comrades back behind the walls, but this was the real deal. As a soldier fresh out the academy, he has much less experience compared to Levi and the rest. The thought of his comrades dying or even himself caused him to shudder. He didn't want to witness anymore deaths ever since the day his own mother was eaten by a titan in front of his eyes.

As their horses galloped away, they could all see the forest come closer to them, and so did their fears. No one said a word and all that was heard was the galloping of the horses. Levi looked far off in the distance and was able to make out the figure of a medium class titan trotting towards them. "Alright men! One bastard is making his way over so get ready!" he shouted. Gulping, Eren grabbed his sword with the determination to fight. "Not you Eren, put your sword back." Levi turned and said to the boy. "E-eh? But why? Am I not going to fight?" Eren asked extremely confused. The rest of the members stared at Levi with question in their eyes as well. "No, your just here today as backup in case things go wrong. Backup meaning you turning into a titan type of backup.". Oh, Eren thought. I guess I'm pretty much useless then. Why do they always treat me like an inexperienced brat?

"Hah! Just as I thought! We are just babysitting this useless kid." Auruo said with disappointment. Levi twitched at his comment and shot him a glare, which caused Auruo to lower his face with regret. "Okay! Its here! Lets kill a few of these monsters and head back already." said Levi as he jumped off his horse and ran towards the titan. The rest of the members followed right behind him and Eren stayed with all their horses. He watched as the jumped around the titan using their gear and continued to slash it. Levi made his way towards the back of the neck while the others kept it busy. He rose up and swirled his way down its neck, cutting out its fresh meat. Eren watched in awe at how cool the Corporal looked. The titan fell dead with a thud on the ground.

"That was amazing!" exclaimed Eren as they made their way back to their horses. "Heh piece of cake for us members of Levi squad Eren." Petra said. "Thats right brat, did you expect anything less?" Levi grinned. Eren smiled, "N-no sir!". After riding their horses a bit further, and using the same procedure, two more titans were killed easily. The sky was turning dark and it was time to retire. "Phew." the members breathed. Drinking water like a thirsty beast, Levi said, "Aight lets go back. Thats enough for today.". As the sun set slowly, the horses along with Levi squad trotted off into the distance back to their safe haven.

Displeased, Eren scowled in his head at the thought of not being able to do anything against the titans. They claim that I am their only hope yet I literally just stand there. He changed his clothes in Levi's room and went down for dinner. As he sat down at the table, he realized that all eyes were on him. This made him uncomfortable and he couldn't eat properly. Especially the Corporal's stare was making him heated. Why are they all staring at me? Is it because I did nothing? But the Corporal told me not to! Its not like I had a choice!, Eren thought, defending himself.

After dinner and it's heavily awkward atmosphere, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep from their exhaustion. Eren returned to Levi's room even before the Corporal and fell asleep, even though he did absolutely nothing. But he felt very tired for some reason. Levi returned to the room after taking a shower and was surprised to find the room dark. "Huh brat are you jacking off in the dark or something." he said with a smirk. No response was found in return. Walking closer, he turned on the lamp on the table and saw Eren sleeping away. WOW. This moron did absolutely nothing yet he's unconscious already, he thought. He shook his head and turned the lamp off. After half-drying his hair, he crawled into bed and fell fast asleep.
