Hanji treasured her life, believe her because there is nothing more fun than to live and embarrass your siblings. She should know because she is the expert at such things, but sometimes some things are worth risking your life for.
This one occasion being Hanji's inability to hold back her laughter at Levi's predicament.
"Shut up you shitty glasses!" Levi shouted angrily with his fist mere inches from punching Hanji in the face.
The said girl could only cripple onto the ground in laughter with her whole body shaking from the effort. Her eyes already welling with tears as Levi continued to stand over her threateningly.
"I am this close to ending your pathetic life," Levi snarled angrily although it had little affect on Hanji as she had long grown used to his antics and had almost become immune to his fierce glares, … almost.
Because, right now was way too funny to pass up a good laugh. That is until Levi's fist connected with Hanji's face and she found herself thanking her doctor for prescribing such durable glasses.
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Hanji shouted out good-naturedly before attempting to dodge another one of Levi's oncoming punches. "But, I don't really see the problem. I mean, I'm in the same class with you."
Levi frowned before snarling angrily in retaliation, "Yes, that's exactly the problem. Why do I have to go to the same class as you?"
Hanji let out a loud laugh which cause Levi to glare at her with more passion before she spoke in a joyous tone, "Actually, I think you need this class more than me. I think I'm just attending to keep your classmates safe."
Now Hanji knows that Levi loves her because who can't love her!? But, regardless, Hanji found herself flinching slightly as her elder brother continued to glare at her with a deep set scowl that always left Hanji curious as to where he had learned to make such a face. But, then again, such an expression is befitting of someone who is supposed to attend anger management classes.

"Now remember, violence is never the answer to your problems. People are more likely to respond positively to kindness," the teacher rambled on as Levi continued to attempt to drown her annoying voice out of his head. It was bad enough that he had to listen to Hanji's persistent talking, but this is beyond even Levi's level of patience.
The two eldest Smith children were currently in their newest class as Hanji fiddled with her pen, balancing it with ease on her upper lip, in what appeared to be a bizarre attempt at giving herself a mustache. This only succeeding in angering Levi more as he continued to glare at the teacher in annoyance.
The teacher, a small petite woman that wore a long, old fashioned skirt, was currently standing in front of the class while informing the students of the wonders of being happy and more carefree, but this only encouraged Levi to disregard such notions because there is no way he would ever attempt to turn out like Hanji. One stupid, loud, obnoxious child in the family is enough. From Levi's point of view, he was doing his whole family a favor by remaining the blunt one of the group, and besides, who else would tell them how stupid they are if he wasn't around?
"Levi?" a voice asked out causing Levi to look up in slight annoyance.
The teacher was now currently smiling at him with that pathetically fake grin plastered onto her face. "Can you tell us what makes you happy?" she asked curiously with a slight tilt of her head.
Levi didn't hesitate for a second before answering, "Punching someone, preferably an idiot."
The teacher didn't look fazed at all, probably already used to such answers before speaking in a calm tone, "What about reading? Don't you feel calmer and more relaxed after reading?"
If possible Levi's scowl deepened and Hanji was starting to worry that he would just storm out of the classroom. However, Levi merely stared at the teacher for a long moment before answering in a slightly clipped tone.
"I find reading to be quite strenuous and ridiculously boring. Why should I bother with worrying about some random stranger's problems? Besides, characters always end up dying anyway, so there, all problems solved. No point in worrying over such ridiculous things."
The teacher stared at Levi for a few seconds longer, her lips already beginning to twitch downward in slight annoyance before she heaved out a deep sigh of frustration. "Okay class, I want you all to split up into groups of two and talk to your partner about what makes you happy."
And because Levi was so lucky, he got stuck with Hanji.
"Stupid teacher, thinks I, of all people, need help with anger management. Wish I could just punch her," Levi grumbled under his breath in annoyance as Hanji continued to watch him in slight amusement.
Finally, after a few more minutes of grumbling and cursing, Hanji decided to interfere by leaning towards Levi and whispering to him quietly.
"Umm, Levi, you're supposed to think more positively."
"I am thinking positively." Levi said angrily with a tone slightly louder than Hanji's.
"Yeah, I'm not sure if mumbling about killing the teacher is considered positive."
"What? Don't tell me I'm expected to take this class without even considering the option of killing someone?" Levi stated with an incredulous look.
Hanji only waved her hands up in an innocent gesture. "Just saying."
