Chapter 3: Welcome to the 104th!
With his boost in energy eren managed to reach his homeroom on time, with 3 minutes left much to his relief. After which he went to sit next to his friends who were seated around the middle of the the class room. "Glad you could make it eren." Armin whispered, failing to contain small chuckles at the sight of eren's traumatized face. "Yeah what ever armin." Eren grumbled not appreciating the fact that his friend was mocking his near death situation. "Ereh are you alright? That midget didn't do any to physically or mentally did he?" Mikasa asked, wanting to make sure she didn't have to run over levi with a tractor. "Mikasa i'm alright, now stop mothering me so much gosh." Eren said now irritated at his friends. Mikasa was about to respond when suddenly the door slammed open revealing none other then Mr Shadis.
"ALRIGHT STAND UP MAGGOTS!" Keith yelled. At that moment everyone in the class stood up, fearing what would happen if they didn't. "WELCOME TO HOMEROOM CLASS BATCH 104. EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR YOU ARE TO MEET HERE EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GET READY TO START THE DAY. BUT DON'T LET THAT GET TO YOUR HEAD! IF ANYONE OF YOU START FAILING YOUR CLASSES YOU ARE TO MAKE SURE YOU STUDY AS HARD AS YOUR SMALL HEADS CAN HANDLE. NOW I WILL START THE ROLL CALL SO TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER YOU ARE TO TELL THE CLASS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SELF, UNDERSTAND!?
With that the whole class responded with a "yes sir". "ARMIN ARLElT?" "Here, I was named after my grandfather sir!" WELL THEN YOU BETTER NOT TARNISH HIS NAME THEN! THOMAS WAGNER!?" Here sir! I uh...spent years to grow my mutton chops?" "hm. WELL THEN YOU BETTER START WORKING ON THEM FOR ANOTHER YEAR THEN BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE CRAP! JEAN KIRSCHTEIN!?" "Here! I'm here to get all the ladies you know what im saying?" jean asked pointing finger guns at shadis, clearly not impressed at the young mans confidence. Eren couldn't help but chuckle as Mr shadis then proceeded to ruin jeans confidence for the next 13 years.
While Mr shadis went on to the next person, Ready to roast the hell out of them for what little self esteem they had left, Eren had been pondering on what he should say. Should he say something about wiping away the schools competition? "To cheesy" Something about being humanity's last hope? "Nah makes me look like an asshole." However at that moment eren was snapped out of his trance as Mr shadis was interrupted from his scolding of connie springer doing the wrong salute. The entire class went silent, with a pen dropping being able to be heard from a mile away. However it was not the the sound of a pen dropping to the ground that shook them to their core, no it was the sound of munching. "YOU BETTER STOP ALL THAT CHEWING AND START USING THAT MOUTH TO TELL ME JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!". The marooned haired girl then proceeded to gulp, partly because she wanted to swallow the potato she was enjoying and partly because she was absolutely terrified. "RIGHT SORRY SIR! MY NAME IS SASHA BRAUS!" Sasha responded. "SASHA BRAUS... TELL ME, WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT POTATO IN CLASS." Shadis asked, highly confused as to why sasha would do something this dumb. "WELL SIR I SAW IT BEING ABANDONED AT BREAKFAST SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT REFUGE IN MY GUTS SIR!" Shadis was even more confused so decided to push forward. "But... I don't get it... why eat it here, why it now?" At this sasha responded without any hesitation. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND SIR, ARE YOU ASKING ME WHY DO PEOPLE EAT POTATOES AT ALL?" The whole class stood still, with everyone shocked and surprised at the sheer bravery or sheer stupidity that sasha was showing at this monument. With one final boost of confidence sasha broke of a third of her potato and offered it to shadis. "Here sir... you can have half..." In all of his 13 years of teaching highschool, keith was not prepared for such a gesture. "Really? half?" At this sasha finally broke, giving an awkward smile as a last attempt to diffuse the situation. However this was all but futile as Mr shadis slipped her a pink detention slip with a dead panned face.
After eren watched such an event happen before his eyes he slowly looked at both armin and mikasa, with the blond genius just in a glorious state of shock and mikasa with a slight change of expression on her face as well. Finally after gathering his remaining bearings eren couldn't help but let out a small snort, much to his detriment. "AND JUST WHO ARE YOU GREEN EYES!?" At this eren stood up in shock, scared to respond but willing to move forward 'Wait that's it!' Eren thought, finally ready to respond to shadis. "My name is Eren Yeager and i'm here to keep moving forward until i reach my goals!!!" With this the class then broke into murmurs, with some either praising eren for being so determined and others calling eren "super cheesy", with mikasa herself thinking "that was one of the hottest things ereh's ever said". Shadis then decided to shrug off eren's attempt to be cool. "Well alright, since there is nothing left to do you are all free to socialize with each other then." Finally after such a tense roll call, the students were allowed to breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone then began to talk to each other, some talking about what classes they have, others on what they plan on doing after school, however all of these went over eren's head as some people started to talk about eren's cheesy statement. "I'm telling you that has to be the most over dramatic way of saying i'm a stubborn bastard." Jean said, trying to shift attention away from the fact that he was humiliated by shadis for trying to be a ladies man, earning a couple of chuckles from his peers. However he got no such treatment from eren who decided to confront the long faced boy, against mikasa's and Armin's better judgement.
"Hey you got a problem with me? Say it to my face." Eren said in response to the gossip about himself. "You know what? I think I will!" Jean said, not afraid of the shorter boy. "Your overdramatic and probably a closet psycho or something like that, what ever the case you're an absolute weirdo!" Eren started to get pissed off. "Oh yeah? Well I'm not the one who thinks they can take any chick within a 5 mile radius to pound town! What the hell does that even mean!?" Jean, wanting to save face decided to go on the the defensive. "Oh yeah?! Well i'll have you know I was the best soccer player back at my old school! People used to call me the stallion because of how fast I ran! The chicks would love a guy like me One hundred percent!" Eren seeing an opportunity to make the long faced boy regret his words, replied. "Im sure the only reason they called you the stallion was because they though your face was so long it looked like a horse!" Jean was about to respond with a "how dare you" when suddenly shadis interrupted, ordering the boys to apologize to each other. They both then apologized albeit with both their hands behind their backs with their fingers crossed. With that the bell rung, signaling the students to get to their classes. Eren deciding not to escalate anything further, walked out of the class room in a hurry as to not be late, with armin following suit. Jean was about leave as well but stopped when he noticed mikasa, still packing up. Desperate to prove to everyone that he's the ultimate ladies man decided to attempt to flirt. Keyword "attempt." "H-Hey! You um...have real pretty hair!" Jean said, congratulating himself, ready to see the raven haired beauty blush and run into his arms. However what he did not expect was mikasa to look at him with a dead look in her eyes, showing zero emotion and in a monotone voice responding with a small "thanks" rushing out to meet with her friends. Jean, frozen from her out blatant rejection ran after her to try again, only to stumble upon a sight that shook him to his core. "Ereh your shirt collar is undone." Mikasa said as she fumbled with the boys shirt collar in an attempt to fix it. Mikasa I don't need you to baby me!" Eren said, already annoyed from the encounter with jean. "Eren she's just trying to help." armin said, wanting eren to lighten up. "Look if she want to help someone" eren says as mikasa repeatedly bumps into people. "She should help herself, seriously mikasa, I think your hair is staring to mess with your sense of sight, you know since its covering your eyes and such." Eren asked, totally because he wanted to show mikasa he can also be protective and not because he likes girls with short hair. Yeah totally that. "Then should I cut it?" Mikasa asked, already deciding on what type of cut would suit her best. "Well you don't have to, you can do what you want" eren responded. "I'm sure eren would like it short mikasa." armin said in a sly tone, hoping to push his 2 best friends together. "That's not the point armin!" Eren said slightly flustered. "Okay, how long should I cut it?" Mikasa finally responded. With that jean stormed away darkly rubbing his hand on the back of an unfortunate connie. "Hey man! what the hell did you rub on my back!?" An irritated connie said, expecting gum or even mud. What he was not expecting was the horse faced boy's response. "My faith in the universe"
