Ace: *Looks at previous chapters.* What the- OH MY GOSH! I MESSED THE RANKINGS UP IN THE LAST CHAPTER AND TOTALLY FORGOT MARCO! GAH! I'm so sorry for forgetting to put him in the rankings. It's fixed now.

Chapter 3: Target: Reiner

Mikasa

After making sure that everyone had left for the dorms, I began to think of the top ten. After much deliberation, I decided that it would be best to target the top two students, Reiner and Bertolt. After killing them, I will target everyone else but Eren and Armin.

Exiting, the roof, I headed towards the boy's dormitory using the 3D Maneuvering Gear. Slipping inside, I walked quietly among the sleeping figures, trying to locate Reiner, my first target.

After locating Reiner, I pulled my swords out and aimed at his head. Reaching up, I began to swing down.

I would have succeeded if Bertolt hadn't woken up at that second and freaked out when he saw me.

Startled, I made a gasp. People began to wake up, and I used my gear to escape. Someone attempted to grab my foot, but I managed to escape.

I landed on a nearby building and hid. Everyone was pouring out of their dorms, and the instructors ran to go interview the students.

The head went to Reiner. "What happened?"

Reiner looked upset. "I woke up to Bertolt freaking out and saw a girl trying to kill me!"

"Who did it?" The instructor* yelled at the students.

"It wasn't one of our students. It was a villager with gear."

Murmurs went though the body of trainees. The instructor glared at them, and motioned for Reiner to continue.

"She had long black hair, black eyes, and wore a trainee outfit with a red scarf, although I have never seen her before. She was of Asian descent."

The instructor nodded. "It's official: If you see a girl matching this description, notify us immediately. If you do not, then you will be punished! And you will now be supervised until you join a career!"

"Yes sir!" Everyone saluted and left, except for Armin and Eren.**

"Why did Mikasa attack Reiner?" Armin asked.

"I don't know. It would have been better if she went after Jean. I hate his guts."

"Be careful what you wish for," Armin said. "Something bad might happen

Eren sighed. "I wish I could actually talk to Mikasa again..."

"Hey!" Marco yelled from the dorm. "You need to sleep!"

Eren and Armin nodded, and went to their dorm.

I curled up in a ball, frustrated with my failure. Reiner had seen me, and now I am a wanted person. I wanted to give up on my quest, but I knew better than to give up my quest. I promised that I would protect my parents, and I will uphold that promise.

I also made a new one promise: Protect Armin and Eren at all costs, even if it means that I lose my life.

Ace: Oops, Mikasa kinda failed her missiom. If Bertolt hadn't awaken, Reiner would be dead, and that would be bad. But as she didn't, it will have stuff happen...

I apologize for the short chapter.

I wonder how the Trost events will work. You'll see how it goes next chapter!

Notes:

*As Mikasa hasn't joined the Training Corps, she has no clue who Keith is, so she calls him "instructor".

**Nice job keeping an eye on these kids with important info, Keith. I wonder how you still keep your job if stuff like this happens a lot… unless this is the first time that this has happened…
