Chapter 5
Mae's POV
"OK shitheads since we got a new teammate it's time to work on our team work" the captain booms in a loud voice I sigh heavily as we get into positions and start to first fight each other, then we use the woods near the base and use targets as titans.
"this is so stupid" I mumble as I go to attack the target and joining Mikasa who isn't really liking the fact that she has to do this
"Do you think we'll ever get out there again" She exclaims
"I doubt that's his intention" I say reasonably
"sometimes I question that" She mumbles as she attacks another target
I wonder what made him that way he is I thought as we finished up the last few before going back to base
" I want you guys now to clean this place from the top up before having free time" captain Ackerman Bosses loudly
"Why?" I question as the rest get straight to work he clenches his jaw
"You have to do the horse barn now" He says with a smirk
I huff in annoyance before making my way to the barn "It can't be too bad" I thought as I walked inside it was then that I saw the extent that I regretted my choice of words.
Once I get done I stink horribly so I run to the showers were I scrub off as much as I can then I look for my friends to see that they are all on the field.
"Hey Mae" Eren exclaims waving at me I smile back and make my way to them
"What did you say about the captain" Connie asks with a raised eyebrow referring to the assumption that I made at the dining hall
"Shut up I didn't know him on a personal level" I defend
"You can clearly tell he's a jackass the first day" Mikasa says angrily
"Mikasa watch what you say he might here you" Armin says alarmed
"Armin is right" Captain Ackerman Says scaring all of us "Miss Ackerman you are cleaning the stalls for a week" he finishes
She glares at him but doesn't say a word
" All of you in your rooms now" Captain yells we grumble before making our way to our room to sleep.
I lay in my bed with no drowsiness in my system so I get up quietly and walk in Mikasa's room who I knew would also not be asleep and I was glad when I was right I smile at her
"What's wrong" she asks worriedly
"I'm fine just not tired" I say with a shrug
she sighs in relief "what do you want to do" she asks
"How about we talk and train" I suggest thinking that could help calm my nerves
"Fine then I will get Armin so that he can benefit" she says before walking off I walk to the field farther from the captain's window and wait. when she came back she had all our friends excluding Eren
"I thought it was just Armin" I asked
She shrugged " I met with them on the way" she says simply
" I guess that means that it will be a fair fight" I say with a smirk and cockiness on my face and voice
"I thought that you could just teach us" Sasha says innocently
I smile "And what better way" I say
Then we got into stance and they all tried to attack me at once but I easily dodged and got them then when they were on the ground I told them what they did wrong and we would battle again with the same result until we were tired and we decided to sleep and this time I fell asleep instantly
Morning
I feel repetition when we get up and eat before training but this time they were better since our fight
" I'm glad that the fight that you guys did in secret helped" The captain says scaring all of us we all look in shock including me
"And I'm glad Mae that you were better than you showed" He says with a smirk we all look at him shocked I feel like I accidentally showed a part of myself to a stranger I shake the feeling and act as if that didn't bug me
" I want all of you to spar but I will face Mae since none of you shitheads will be a challenge for her" He says
" Um sir can't we just end today" I suggest hopefully
"NOW MAGGOTS" He yells and they instantly pick their partners and start the sparing
"I don't see how facing each other will help face titans" I say in a small voice
"It's so we can see our weaknesses and get rid of them now attack me" He clips out I sigh before assessing my surroundings and situation
I quickly go for a pressure point but he quickly dodges and goes to retaliate but I quickly go to the side and widen my stance then I go to attack him in the front and when he blocks I do a flip and get him from behind where I instantly get him on the ground
"Checkmate" I say with a smirk, but he flips me over
"don't be so cocky" He grits out I try to kick him in the area where the sun don't shine, but he holds my legs down with his
"Fine I give" I say reluctantly "I am almost to his level" I thought as I got up
"Your good" He says simply before walking to the others and instructed them I sigh in frustration
Once training was over we showered then we walked to the dining hall where Sasha complained that she was sore and hungry and Mikasa muttered how she would like to knock him off his pedestal I smile at them before eating my food.
After supper we go to the common room and talk some more about what we need to do and if we were going out but I know that for a while at least we are stuck here training and right now that doesn't bug me as much as it should.
