p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-We have got talent or we don't, that's just reality, sighed a red-haired boy. Look at her for example, you can be sure she's going to be among the first ten, he said, pointing at a blonde-haired girl./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"She was perfectly balanced thanks to her extraordinary senses. She seemed to know exactly what she was doing. She might have been small, but she was definitely quite muscled./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-She knows exactly how to position herself, it's impressing. It seems to be an evidence: this girl is gonna be an exceptional recruit./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"The "exceptional recruit" sighed and went up to two tall teenagers. She hated to be the center of all this attention. She was shy, and not used to being so watched./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-Hello./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-Well done! You did it, and not only that, but perfectly!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-Thank you; I'm afraid I won't be so good for the hand-to-hand combat part though./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-No worries there, it's not use to kill titans! So it's not so bad! And seeing how well you did, your rank should be just fine./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"The blonde girl sighed again. Then something she had seen earlier resurfaced in her mind and she cried out:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-By the way! Do you know that members of the Survey Corps are going to come and be our teachers tomorrow ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-What ? Are you serious ? That's awesome !/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-We will even have the right to ask questions./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"It was an unexpected occasion for the three young friends, because they themselves wanted to become Survey corps members./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"In the youngest's eyes, there were glowing lights that were becoming bigger by the minute. She had thought this moment would never come. This was her chance. Would she finally see that person she admired so much since she was a child ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-Aki… Have you got a fever ? /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"The brown-haired boy put his hand on the girl's forehead, which caused the young maiden to shiver uncomfortably. She pushed his hand away from her skin. She hated that so much. Why did he think he had the right to touch her without asking ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-No !/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-Then why are your eyes shimmering ?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"-My eyes are not shimmering. My eyes are like they always are. Plain. Not glowing at all./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"Yuki smiled when he saw her frown. It was cute. She usually looked older than she really was, but with that expression on her face no one would have thought she was older than twelve years old. He really felt like a big brother to her. Just as much as she felt like a younger sister to him. He instinctly had the need to protect her, which made him react especially fast when someone (well, emboys/em) talked to her. Which, frankly, didn't happen much. She was so in her own world, lost in her past and future mistakes, that not much people approached her. Usually when people had tried once, they didn't again. At first they felt strangely attracted to her because of her beautiful and full of feelings eyes, but then they realized that she absolutely did not want to meet new people./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"The girl sat on the grass to watch others pass their own tests. She saw no one that could worry her. No one mastered 3D as well as she did./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"She sighed for the third time, head between her knees. She may have been very talented for 3D, but fight-to-fight wasn't her cup of tea. She was pretty sure she would end up being among the last people in the ranking (thin and small as she was, it was no surprise). She hoped her skills for 3D would be enough for her to stay amongst the first ten./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"Her two friends sat next to her, Haru cross-legged and Yuki with opened legs and his arms on the grass. They both looked up at the sky, praying that in the future, the odds will be in their favor, particularly the girl that now was just like an adoption sister./span/p
