Chapter 5: " Revelation "
I woke up tiredly. I looked at where I was sleeping. Canon balls can be heard outside. Standing up. Good, They did not invade my privacy.
Taking the cloak off. I see the numerous scars in my body since I'm wearing a sleaveless shirt. I closed the windows and took of my clothes and proceeded to it's bathroom. Finally a real bath!
Hmm.., I enjoyed the whole one hour in it. As I wore a towel, I went outside the bathroom to see fresh and new clothes. Then there it read. " It's for you. "
It was a white long sleave blouse and black fitted pants. Well I might as well wear it. I wore the given clothes quickly.
There on the table was food. It was breaf with other side dishes, they were vegetables. I was drooling. I haven't had this type of stuff for 5 whole years.
As I ate, I took much time in enjoying the food. I saw my bag untouched, Good. I standed up and left the plates there at the table.
I grabbed my bag and strapped my knives in it's cases. I carried my old time friend. My sword.
As I went out my cloak looked at me like I was some kind of something? As I kept walking. They're stares irritated me more. Plus the side comments.
" I wonder, Is that person a guy or a girl? " a random injured guy said.
Before the other guy spoke. I cutted him off. " I'm a girl. " and then I left them there hanging in the air.
As I walked out there were no more canon balls being shooted. And people from above were rejoicing. How long was I even out?
Observing the other people in the side. They were all injured, probably they were cadets whom slayed titans. The question is. Have they slayed one?
" Hey you. Don't flunt over your beaten up sword like that. " a man who seemed to be quite proud said.
And why can't I? I answered back.
" You can't use it. Your just somebody who appears to look tough, You have no experience like we all do. " He answered back pridefully.
I unveiled the hood of my cloak. I stared at him straightly, Prove yourself then.
" Why you, Bitch! The man proudly says. I've killed 2 titans. What can you say about that, Woman? "
Is that so. Pathetic, You've killed two? I have more experience then you. Then he charged at me. It appears that he was fully healed.
I dodged it perfectly and countered it with a solid punch unto his stomach. He flew some meters away.
" Did you see how she dodged it. And the strength of her punch. " a guy said.
I watch as the man stands up and charges towards me knife pointed out. I wait for the right time, then it comes. I grab his upperbody. And after having a tight grip, I threw him over to the other side.
The man stands up and looks at me angrily, " Who cares about your fighting skills. I've killed titans. "
So what? I don't really care. I walk away to the opposite direction. While walking I see a girl with blonde hair and another one with brown.
" Hello there. My names is Krista! " the blond girl says. " My name is Ymir. " The brown haired once says.
I see. I introduced myself, " Yui. " Well atleast they weren't like that pig who boasted proudly of something that wasn't really worth anything to me.
" Your new here? " Krista asks.
I smile, Quite a bit. I was token in yesterday(maybe)
" I see. Your name is pretty,And your features aren't quite normal. Are you asian? " Krista asks once again.
I'm not really sure, I'm sorry, But I don't know much about my real identity.
" And why is that? " Ymir asks.
It's confidential. I took of my cloak and placed it on the nearby table. I listened as the two talked.
" It's the first time mankind has triumphed on getting back what the titans have claimed. " Krista says enthustiastically.
" Yes it is. We wouldn't have done it without the help of ' Eren ' " Ymir says.
Wait what. Eren? Wasn't he one of my first friends. " What did you say? Eren? "
" Yeah. We just graduated as on of the top ten of the 104th trainees squad. And Eren, suprisingly has the ability to shift into a titan. " Krista adds in a monotone voice.
No way, I knew it. Humans had some kind of connection with titans, But why Eren? " Krista tell me. Where is he? "
" He's being held in a prison. The higher ups don't trust him yet, And his gonna be executed if not proven his innocent. " Krista once again adds to the conversation.
" When will it be held. Krista? " I ask.
" Probably a week from now. " She answers.
, I left with a simple farewell and headed back to the place I stayed at.
" That person. She's hiding something. " Ymir says
" I've known it too, But I wonder. What could it might be? " Krista says. Leaving a question unanswered.
Before entering my room I was stopped by the commander I had met yesterday. Commander Pixis.
" Let us talk. " He ordered.
I was led to a secluded room. Alright I'll speak up. Give me a question,And I'll gladly answer.
He answers with an " Alright " And proceeds to ask me questions.
" What is your name, Age,family backround " He asks.
I answer. My name is Yui, I have no last name judging by the fact that I was an illegitimate child. I have no clue on what my true identity is. My age, Well. Probably the same age as with the newly graduates of the batch 104th. Family backround. My adoptive father was a scientist. That's all. The only clue I've got to my indentity is the necklace handed out to me by my real father.
" I see, tell me. How were you able to slay a titan with such odds. You barely have the gears on killing one. What kind of environment have you lived in so far. " He asks the second time.
I answer, I know a lot about titans. Since, I've lived amongst them for five whole years.
" Lived amongst them. What do you mean? " he asks for the third time.
Year 845. An attack in one of the cities south of Trost. ' Shiganshina ' The attack which led to the breaching of Wall Maria. You know what I mean. I stared at him.
" This could only mean that, You were the only survivor left in Shiganshina. For five whole years, Even a elite member of Recon corps couldn't live in such a place for five whole years. Well the weaker ones that is. And what age where you at that time? He asks for the fourth time.
I was eleven when it all happened, I had no knowledge about how to kill one until I reached the age of twelve when I survived a titan from killing me. At that time, I knew myself that I could no longer just run. I must learn how to fight.
" I see. Your a person with a high survival rate judging from the long term exposure to such unlivable envronments. How many have you killed by the way. I wanted to know. " He asks another time.
Awhile ago. Some ramdom pig of a cadet boasted and banned me from carrying my sword. He boasted about killing 2 titans. I wanted to shove the facts unto his face. But they were too confidential, Hahahaha. I've killed dozens of them ranging from 3-15 meter classes. I've learned from experience, And I've made up some techniques on killing them.
For me to survive in a place breached by titans. I had to engage in battles, I would need to first fall as bait. It's a shot where you bet your life on it. As you reach eye contact you must perfectly aim at both of it's eyes and shoot it directly that way, It would make the, blind for the mean time. With the left time, Climb up to it's head as it may sound suicidal, Then deepen the knives to make the regeneration period longer. Climb up to the base of it's neck and then cut it's flesh deeply. Done, Titan killed succesfully.
" Amazing, I'm actually shocked that a mere child who had no knowledge of self defense would live up to 5 years and counting. Have you found any information at all about titans? "
Oh yes. Titans as you may know have abnormals right. But despite the given fact of them being a no brainer, Some are quite intelligent. I engaged one last time, And good thing I blew,it's head up. I wrote them in my journal. All of the things I've learned so far. It's beneficial to the whole organization. Keep that in mind.
" Where there instances wherein you lost hope? " he asked.
Yes. But then, I knew that I had to survive. I knew that I still had a mission to fulfill, Yet. I just don't know what it is.
Also, Do not tell any of the cadets about this. The higher ups may know but not the cadets. I want to prove to them.
" Now the last question, Will you join our organization. You are far more stronger than the others, possibly your strength and survival rate can be greatly compared to the elite of the elite. I'm not exagerating, you've proven to us that humans that theyvdon't need these gears to kill a titan. A normal weapon would do matched with the intelligence and the determination to live longer. If you joined, You wouldn't need to train. Shiganshina was your training ground for all those years. And being here in flesh is the proof that you've graduated. "
I thought you'd never ask. But Yui thought to herself, He forgot one thing. The question, How did I get here. If only he had asked me that then they would have taken that route towards Shiganshina.
