Chapter 6: " Recon Corps "
A week has passed and through out the week. Secretly, Yui was being trained with the 105th batch. But not with them of course, She was included in their batch. Secretly.
And as for now, she was doing her training with the three dimensional manuever gear. Balance was important, And heck. She has perfected it ever since then.
Man. I want to get together with them. My first friends, But I have to train first.
I was finally let down and my teacher was another elite cadet. The only ones who knew about me entirely were the higher ups. As I was let down the one teaching me asked.
" Yui. Your acing every exam given out to you. It's almost like your perfect. Don't you even have a flaw? " he asked smiling.
I'm not a perfect individual. Since we were all made equally, Let me tell you about my flaws. I can't dance, Whatsoever. I easily breakdown. Don't ask, I have family issues. And many more follow that.
" I see. Then commence to the execution of your training. If you are able to finish everything. You'll graduate in one month. First time in history, and a female at that. " He says.
Alright then, Let's get it over with.
And within the 3 day has come when all living graduates of the batch 104 will submit to each category, The Military force, The Recon Corps, And The Garrison.
While the other were busy deciding. A girl walks in from the door, It was Yui. She had executed her training perfectly. And was given the permission to join the graduates on choosing where they will start to work.
" I watch as the people looked at me from head to toe. I was new to them. And so were them to me. And so, The side comments were released. "
" I don't remember her being with us. Who is that random girl who had the guts to step in wearing the uniform. " A girl says. " We've been through hell and she walks in like some person who has greater experience. "
Well it's not like it wasn't true. But setting that aside. I looked at the categories infront of me. Of course, I'd rather take the Recon Corps. It was the wings of freedom.
Then a girl approached me.
" Just who are you to just walk in here without being in our batch? " the girls asks.
My name is Yui. You can adress me to that nickname.
" What? "
She tugs to my jacket. She was probably stressed out from the choices. " What are you doing? " I ask.
" You don't belong here... " She trailed off.
Well that's your prescription not mines. I ignored her and observed the others. But then she crossed the line.
" What are you choosing then? Your not one of the top ten so you'd probably end up in the Garisson. Or probably with the Recon corps which you'd easily die in. " She mocked.
I clenched my fist. " Yes, I'll join the Recon Corps. And also, I wouldn't die easily. "
" Hahaha. How could you prove that you would not die easily? " She mocked once again.
I inched my face to hers and whispered something that made her shut up.
" No way. Your lying, There's no way you could pull that off. " She laughed off confidence running out of her.
People were starting to murmur and gossip about me. But I ignored them. But a certain sentence ticked me off.
" She's probably a spoiled brat who requested her rich father to bribe the commanders on letting her in. " a girl said.
I punched the wall beside me which left a huge crack unto it. " You know nothing. " and everybody became silent.
We were gathered in a plaza of some sort. A commander infront of the stage who introduced himself as Erwin.
" I'm here to urge you graduates to join the Recon Corps. Perhaps if you join, Most likely the others will die. But if you are able to survive, You can be a person with high survival rates. " Erwin says.
His speech terrified the others as shit. But I wasn't. Heck I've already survived in such environments. And so the other left, Including those bitches who talked poorly about me. A few were left standing. Probably above 10 stayed.
" You have gained my full respect, You've overcome your fear. Thus, You must perform the greatest salute. " He says.
The greatest salute of a true soldier as my teachers have said and demonstrated. Right above the chest left arm befind.
I standed up straight. No fear sensed. But instead, I stood up with courage. I was secluded from the others. As commander Pixis instructed, I standed up as the ceremony ended.
I woke up from the sound of a clang. It was commander Pixis, " Why did you that? I can't feel my ears. "
" You can't actually come with the Recon corps with their 57th expedition, The higher ups don't trust you yet since they have not witnessed your abilities. And as for now, You will wait for further announcements. " Pixis says.
It's alright. I caused a ruckus yesterday. A certain girl questioned my existence in the organization since. I was not in their batch. It took all my guts not to lay a finger on her. I see then. By the way what was the name of the man who came to my rescue the other day?
" What man? " he asked.
He had straight black hair with the hues of green. Clear blue eyes, And he killed two 10 meter classes at the same time.
" Oh. You mean Levi, He's the captain of the special squad in the Recon Corps. He is very strong. You should pay respect to him. " Pixis says.
Of course. Now I have to wait for announcements, And I have nothing to do.
The commander left, And here I am. Doing nothing...
I grabbed my bag and checked out the stuff in it. I grabbed my journal and began to write about my experiences.
An hour passed and I was completely bored. Then I remembered what the girl from yesterday told me. Spoiled brat, Who is she joking with? Nevermind. I shouldn't think of it. It's not worth it.
And so I just slept since it was morning.
The day came for the Recon Corps 57th expedition. And I watch them leave from the window. I wish them luck, But then I noticed somebody familiar.
Eren...Mikasa...Armin. I opened the window, I shouted out. They're alive. " Eren,Mikasa,Armin! "
They tried to search for the direction as I watched but then they dispersed. I'll just greet them later, But for me. The most important thing is that were all alive. And we'll be reunited once again.
I standed up. I should go do something, Remembering what my teacher told me. I wasn't perfect at all. If only you knew what it took me to survive. I needed to kill..., And I hated myself for doing that. Killing people, It's a terrible thing to do. But what am to say when I've done it already...
Sitting at a bench just outside the building. I wasn't officially part of the Recon Corps just yet, So I need to wait for further announcements. So I was allowed to live in a inn first, As I sat a little girl ran up to me.
" Your one of them, The people who saves us! I want to be like you too. " The little girl says.
I smiled, What's your name little child? I asked.
" My name is Rosalina, What about you. Miss idol? " Rosalina asked.
I was flattered, Atleast the child knows how to appreciate people. Even though I'm still not part of the org. I answer her with a smile, My name is Yui.
" Your name is pretty! Just like your attitude. Wait for me, Miss Yui. When I grow up, I'm gonna be like you! Goodbye! " Rosalina says while bidding me goodbye.
I frowned, I'm not kind like the others. I've killed many people just to survive, I just hope I'll never be forced to do that ever again. Standing up, I proceeded to my room and rested.
I woke up with the loud complaints of people outside, The heck? Wearing my cloak to cover my sleaveless shirt. I went out to see them returning. So soon, There were less of them. I see, Something must have gone wrong. Just then the citizens started to complain.
" What have you done!? Is the progress of your so called expedition worth it!? " A man excalimed
" And this is were our taxes go! " A woman shouted.
" So many died and yet no important information has been discovered, This is useless! " Another man exclaimed.
" Commander Erwin! What have you done!? " A man asked.
They all look petrified, The words might have strucken them. Even Captain Levi appeared to be out of the zone(perhaps) As they passed by the throng of people. The others started to throw stuff at the trail left. They all shouted senseless words, And heck. I was full of it.
" Will you all just shut up!? " I exclaim annoyance present in my tone.
They all faced me. " And who the hell are you, Bitch! " they all exclaim.
" My name is Yui. Do you know how life threatening their jobs are. Tons of these people died just to let you evacuate safely and this is what you repay them for. If you think they don't care about your loved ones. Heck, They care. They've risked their lives there, Out there to prevent you people. "
" And how do you know about titans! " A man with big muscles shouts.
" Yeah! " the others follow.
I laughed. Aproaching the muscled man, I lift him up and kick his stomach hard.
" If your underestimating my height, Fuck off. I've survived my life outside these walls for the past five years, In Shiganshina... " I said.
