Chapter 4, here you go.

Five boys were illuminated by a small fire that was in front of them, they were sitting in relative silence mostly from exhaustion, the training all morning had been a gruelling one, they had been moving all day carrying bags that were double their body weight and were expected to camp out the night then return the next day.
Each group was made of five, this particular one consisted of Eren, Armin, Thomas, Milieus and Nack Tierce a larger boy with deep brown almost black hair styled back in a spiky pattern. All these boys were panting hard, but Armin seemed to be having the worst time of it, the small boy was no premier athlete and having to carry his own weight plus was having quite the effect on him.
"W-What is this even for?" Thomas panted as he threw a stick on their hastily assembled fire they'd made after arriving, their bags having been dumped against a tree in the darkness around them.
"Stamina probably" Nack answered having recovered a bit faster than the others, "Can you literally pull your weight, or will you have to rely on others to get you places" he continued looking to them.
"Makes sense, a soldier needs to be strong, no better way to test that than to push your limits" Eren chuckled peeling his jacket off and setting it next to him, "At least there's more reason to this than some of the other training we've been doing".
"I hear t-that" Milieus said taking his own jacket off and falling backwards to stretch his body out, "Actually feel like I'm training to become a Scout now" he chuckled getting the attention of the others.
"Milieus, you want to become a Scout?" Eren asked looking across the fire to him.
Milieus propped himself up on his elbows and looked back at him while keeping his chuckle "Yeah I do, I'm a suicidal dumbass I know" he muttered knowing how everyone regarded the Scouts, "I'm probably one of the only guys who'll join them regardless of where I rank" he rubbed the back of his head.
"You're not the only one, I'm going to join too" Eren smirked at him getting a surprised look in response.
"What's your reasoning Eren, other than to take back your home?" Nack asked leaning forwards slightly keen to hear what he would answer.
"Well yeah I want to take Shiganshina back, but I think I've just always wanted to be a Scout" he answered looking to the fire, "Since I was a kid, I've wanted to just see the world outside, Armin here helped give me more reason when he told me about the ocean" he said nudging the boy who was still keeling over in exhaustion.
"The ocean, what's that?" Thomas asked the question that was going around the three boys.
"It's water" Armin breathed trying to get some of his wits about him, "A lot of it" he said trying to make sense, "I read about it in a book my grandfather had".
"Like a lake?" Milieus asked trying to figure out what he was on about.
"Nothing like it, it stretches as far as the eye can see, and goes deeper than you could ever imagine" the blond muttered, "There's so much salt that if you tried to harvest it you would die of old age long before you got close".
"Yeah sure" Nack scoffed shaking his head, "If that's you motivation I ain't gonna judge but I really doubt it exists, how can there be that much water and still be land" he muttered leaning back to look at the stars.
"That's just how deep it is!" Armin proclaimed bolting up staring down Nack, "I know it's out there and we're gonna see it one day, all of us are, I promise!" he said with confidence, this was a side none of them had seen from the small blond before and it had taken a few of them off guard.
Nack shocked expression turned to a smirk, "Alright then, I'll hold you to the Armin" he nodded receiving a smirk back from Armin as he sat back down.
"So Eren a story was what originally motivated you to join the scouts?" Milieus asked cocking an eyebrow, in terms of reasons to want to fight Titan's it was pretty far down on the list.
"Well yeah, or well maybe it was something else…" he muttered scratching his cheek.
"We're all ears" Thomas encouraged him to share getting very into this bonding they were all doing.
"Well, when I was really young, couldn't tell you my exact age it was that long ago, I was out with my mother" he started getting everyone's attention while he poked the fire with a stick, "I think I went ahead to play with Armin or something but when I looked back this Scout was standing there next to my mother, he seemed to be talking to her" he continued as Armin nodded in agreement remembering this faintly as well.
"Now being the stupid kid, I was I could help but run up to see the Soldier I didn't know all the different regiments yet, all I knew was soldier were brave" he chuckled as a smile spread across his lips at the memory, "When I got there, he turned to face me, and after basically worshipping him for a little while saying how he was so brave and amazing, I remember he asked me something".
"What was it?" Nack asked leaning in being enthralled in this story.
"He asked me, if I really did think of him like that" his smile got wider, "I told him I did, and I even tried to give him the salute, but I got it the wrong way round, he knelt down and corrected me before returning the salute" he chuckled looking to the group, "I don't know what it was about him, but the way the way he acted just made me want to grow a be a soldier like him, I wanted to one day show a young stupid kid how to salute the right way".
"I know is does sound incredibly dumb, I just spoke with one soldier who happened to be a Scout and he showed me how to salute which made me want to be like him" he looked back to the fire, "He really didn't do anything but still…".
"It's not dumb" Thomas said looking over to him, "When you're so young you idolise people easily, this one soldier showing you a simple kindness made you want to share that kindness one day, then couple that with you leaning about this Ocean, it all set you up to want to become a soldier" he smiled.
"Who was this, Scout?" Nack asked getting only a shrug in response.
"No clue, I never got a name and my mother never brought him up again, all I remember was he didn't have a lot of height on him but that's about it" Eren said looking to Armin who shook his head too, the memory being so long ago it had mostly faded from his memory.
"What about you then Milieus?" Eren asked looking back over the fire to the boy, "This conversation started with you, why do you want to join the Scouts?".
"Yeah, we never did get an answer from you?" Thomas said looking over to his friend in realisation.
Milieus chuckled awkwardly sitting up, "Well it's kinda stupid really, you sure you want to know?" he mumbled not really wanting to answer trying to get out of it anyway he could.
"Course we do, you're the only other one here who hasn't given a reason why he wants to be a Suicidal Dumbass" Nack chuckled lightly pushing his shoulder.
"Yeah Milieus, I honestly didn't think anyone else would want to join other than myself, Mikasa and Eren here" Armin piped up leaning in.
Milieus sighed, "I suppose it's only fair" he said rubbing his eyes, "You see its to do with my little sister, she's always gone on about how she's wanted to eat an apple pie, it's always the top of the list of things she wants to do or well eat in this case" he sighed looking back down to them.
"All the orchards were located in the Wall Maria area and there isn't enough space with fertile lands to set any more up within Rose so her dream may never happen unless Maria can be taken back" he smiled, "It's not really about her just eating an Apple Pie, really, I just kind of want her to at least see an Apple tree in her lifetime".
"So yeah, I want to join the Scouts so my little sister can eat an apple pie, feel free to laugh" he sighed looking downcast as he awaited their mocking.
Instead of laughed, Milieus felt an arm loop around his shoulder and pulling him towards someone else, "That's the Milieus I know" Thomas chuckled, "You're always the caring guy, but don't think you'll have to do this one alone" he chuckled jabbing is thumb in his own direction.
"Thomas you're…"
"I've decided, I'm joining the Scouts too" he ginned, "We've been close for years Milieus, I've had your back then and I'll have keep having it as a Scout" he chuckled letting the other boy go, "And I'll have your guys back too of course" he said looking over to Eren and Armin.
"And we'll have yours" Eren smirked high fiving Thomas and Milieus before they all looked over to Nack.
"What, no matter what you guys say I'm sticking with the Garrison" he said throwing up his arms, "I'm not going to hide out in the Interior but I'm not going to go charging out to the Titans, I'll just watch your guys back when you leave and come back that sound alright" he chuckled getting a nod from the others.
"It'll be nice to know we'll have someone we know watching out for us from atop the wall" Armin smiled at him.
"You know it, I'll be sure to be in whichever unit covers the district the Scouts leave from and cheer you guys when you leave and when all four of you come back, which you damn better do each time" he smiled again to them all.
"Of course, we will once we're trained no Titan will be able to stand up to the four of us as a unit" Thomas chuckled while striking a pose making the other burst out into laughter.
Eren looked to them all with a large smile plastered on his face, and a confident feeling in his stomach knowing that him and his comrades would have something to fight for together.

Mikasa, Mina, Annie, Sasha, and Christa sat around their own fire, three of them making an idle conversation while two were content to keep to themselves.
"I came from a small farm that was between Maria and Rose, it was a fairly small community in comparison to all the others, what about you guys?" Mina asked having responded to the question herself.
"I come from a small horse stable in the outskirts of Rose, I guess we kinda have something in common there Mina" Christa smiled while nudging her shoulder with hers and getting an affirming nod in response before they both looking to Sasha.
"Oh, I'm just from a little village in the forests a little way from here, nothing really interesting about it" Sasha hastily said almost trying to deter the conversation about her, "W-What about you Mikasa?" she said looking around the girl.
Mikasa simply glanced at her before focusing on the fire, "Miss moody over there is from Shiganshina, you weren't there when everybody found out" Mina giggled out earning a glare from Mikasa.
"Mina!" she hissed.
"Oh, relax Mikasa, it's not bad for people to know where you come from, it's not the end of the world y'know" she said with a small shrug before slyly looking over to Annie, "Isn't that right Annie…" she muttered.
"I'm not telling you where I come from" Annie quickly muttered not looking up from the fire, "Stop asking already" she added before throwing a stick onto the fire.
"Aww come on Annie, I know hardly anything about you, at least answer one of my questions for once" Mina wined as she pouted and crossed her arms in a huff.
Annie shook her head; Mina had been trying to egg out information about her for months now with no luck but no matter how many times she was rejected she always bounced back with something new much to the blondes frustration.
"Why do you even want to know so much about me?" Annie asked looking over with a raised eyebrow.
Mina in return gave her favourite bright smile, "I told you, I'd hoped we could be friends so I want to learn as much as I can about you" she answered surprisingly honestly.
Annie was actually taken aback for a moment before returning to her usual uncaring look turned towards the fire in front of them, "One question, that's all you get!" she said extending a single finger towards Mina.
"And you'll answer truthfully?" she questioned with a quizzical expression.
"As truthfully as I can" she muttered in response already regretting the offer.
Mina put on a thoughtful expression while tapping her chin wanting to make the most out of this chance, "Ooo I got it" she suddenly exclaimed hitting her fist to her palm, "What's your family like?".
Annie looked up at her, "My family?" she muttered with an almost confused expression, "Why ask about them of all things?".
"Because I wanna know what kinda family you have Annie, maybe there's some people out there you actually like" Mina smiled her sweet smile even adding a little head tilt, "Is that so wrong?" she continued with her smile.
Annie rolled her eyes, "Fine my family" she huffed looking down at the fire, "There's not much too it, I have quite a large family, one older sister and the rest are brothers" she muttered crossing her arms.
"And a mother, right?" Mina piped up getting Annie to glance at her, "I was there when you had your little moment with Eren y'know, I heard quite a bit" she slyly smirked getting the other girls to look quite interested, even Mikasa who simply glared to Annie.
Annie scoffed, "Yes, a mother too, but that'll all, not really interesting" she muttered.
"What are they all like?" Christa asked leaning on her hands to look at Annie.
She rubbed her eyes before responding with a sigh, "My mother was wise, I leaned everything from her, my sister is kind and caring and was always there for me while my brothers are just that, brothers" she answered poking the fire with a stick.
"How many brothers do you have, you never said?" Mina asked leaning in closer, this was the most she'd ever gotten out of Annie and wanted or this to last as long as possible.
"I-" she went to continue before swiftly cutting herself off, "I said you only get one question, I've answered two that's all you're getting!" she snapped averting any gaze she had away from them, so they'd be unable to see the small pink tinge on her cheeks.
"Aww come on Annie" Mina wined with a pout, "We were just getting somewhere" she continued looking deflated but only getting ignored by the blonde, "Ugh fine".
She immediately bounced back to snap her head towards the other quiet one of their group, "Mikasa...".
"No" was the immediate response she was given.
"You didn't even know what I was gonna ask?" Mina questioned with a pout.
"I could guess" she muttered not looking away from the fire making a silence cast over the group which hung around before quite a while before bizarrely the one who caused it was the one who broke it, "I have a question instead, why do you always hang around me?"
They looked over to Mikasa who was focused not on Mina but Sasha who gave a nervous chuckle in response not sure how to answer, making Mikasa press on, "You're always near me in fact I can't think of a time since I met you where I haven't turned around to almost walk into you, why is that?" she continued.
Sasha looked sheepish as she wrang her hands together noting how everyone minus Annie was now focused upon her, "Well I uh…" she nervously mumbled trying to avert her eyes from Mikasa glare, "Sorry it's just, my village is very secluded, so I don't really meet new people and when I got here you were really the only person who was nice to me".
"I guess I just got kinda attached to you because of that, you are basically a safety blanket for me if you will, someone I know will be nice" she muttered sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head, "If that makes any sense at all".
"Aww that's really sweet Sasha" Mina said bumping her shoulder with hers, "But you shouldn't worry so much, I'm pretty nice too y'know so you can count on me!" she cheered wrapping her arm around her shoulder as Christa gave a bright smile with her own affirming nod the other side of Mina.
Sasha couldn't help but break out into a bright smile as he cheeks tinged pink slightly but she had to tear her eyes away from the two smallest girls so she could look to Mikasa who held her usual unreadable expression.
"I get it" she muttered reaching up and gently gripping her scarf, "When you're separated from what you love you cling to the first kindness you see… I did the same…" she whispered the last part as she pulled the piece of apparel up to her nose covering part of her face, "If that's you reasoning, then it's okay".
Mikasa looked to Sasha giving her a small nod of approval making the red head break out a wide smile and reach over to bring her into a hug only for Mikasa to swiftly move to the side and avoid her, "Doesn't mean you get to touch me though" she coldly muttered looking back to the fire while the others shared a small laugh at the interaction.

"This is such crap!" Jean wined as he threw a stick somewhere into the forest frightening some animal that went scurrying away, "Why the hell do we have to put up with this" he continued looking around at Marco, Conny, Reiner and Bertholdt.
"It's just necessary training that everyone has to go through" Reiner answered crossing his arms as he looked at him across the fire, "It weeds out the last of the weak who won't carry their weight, trust me after this I'm sure we'll actually start out proper training".
Jean just scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah sure, whatever you say".
"Come on Jean, you knew it wouldn't be a cake walk" Marco tried to pipe in, "If you want to become a soldier you have to go through some tough training".
"I'm becoming an MP Marco" Jean said glancing at him, "When's the last time you saw an MP carry twice their own body weight around?" he questioned looking to him fully.
"Well, how heavy do you think that ODM gear is?" Marco questioned back making Jean have to reel back and think for a moment, "I'm sure all of this is useful one way or another, we have trust or superiors know what they are doing" he smiled.
Reiner looked over at the optimistic boy with a concerned expression, "You really believe that huh?" he muttered getting his attention.
"Definitely, why shouldn't I" Marco smiled.
Reiner chuckled at little, "No reason, it's good you believe in something not everyone gets to do that now adays" he smirked back at the boy, "So I'm guessing your planning to be an MP too right Marco?".
"Yeah, well that's the plan anyway" he chuckled scratching his cheek, "I'm going to do my best to make it to the top 10 anyway, it's my dream to serve out king so I'm going to give this everything I've got".
Reiner chuckled again at his almost childlike response before looking to Conny, "What about you Conny, where you planning to go?".
The smallest of the group put on a smug expression, "MP's of course, only place a genius like me could go" he answered pushing a thumb into his chest.
Jean burst out into laughter from his response, "Yeah sure Conny, the MP's could use someone like you, I mean everyplace needs a guy to clean the toilets" he laughed clutching at his chest.
Conny gained and irked expression while clenching his fists before changing to a sly smile, "You sure you're fit to be with the MP's Jean, they only have so much room, I don't think you're ego will fit in the interior" he laughed himself getting a scowl from the boy, but this didn't deter Conny.
"Actually, I think you'll be better off with the Scouts, they need all the horses they can get" he continued to laugh pissing Jean off even more making him try to lunge for Conny and successfully pinning him to the ground before being swiftly pulled off.
"Oi! Both of you knock it off!" Reiner scolded holding Jean back who was desperately trying to break out of the large boys grip, but it was a futile attempt, "This is no way for a soldier to behave, especially two comrades!" he continued trying to get some sense into the both of them while Bertholdt held on to Conny.
"Piss off Reiner" Jean snapped glaring to the large boy, "I'll treat him over there-" he was abruptly cut off by someone stepping between the daggers they were glaring at each other.
"No, you won't!" Marco snapped glaring down at Jean, "What you're going to do Jean is grow the hell up, weather you like it or not you are comrades now, weather we're Cadet's or MP's we'll still be comrades that means you'll damn well start respecting each other!".
He snapped his head around to look at Conny, "That includes you Conny, no matter what the other does it doesn't give you the right to antagonise them, and it certainly gives you no right to insult them!" he continued making a silence go around the other boys.
The boy grabbed his jacket, "This is what marks us as comrades, it's what will bind us together as brothers in arms no matter the patch and as long as it is worn you will both treat each other the same as you would expect to be treated, is that understood!" he received reluctant nods.
Reiner and Bertholdt released the boys as Marco stepped back from between the both of them, "Good, now shake hands and apologise" he insisted looking between the two of them he looked away in embarrassment, "Do it, now!" he had to raise his voice a little bit again to add emphasis to his point.
Conny stretched his hand out towards Jean, "Sorry for everything I called you Jean" Conny muttered looking a bit guilty as he averted his eyes, "It was out of line".
Jean looked to his hand then to Marco who nodded his head with insistence, Jean uncrossed his arms and took the smaller boys hand, "Yeah, I'm sorry too, you'll probably be an alright MP" he muttered averting his own gaze as they separated and sat back down.
"Wasn't so difficult wasn't it" Marco said in his normal kind voice before sitting back down himself.
"Wow Marco" Bertholdt praised looking over at Marco, "That was amazing, you sounded like an experience leader when you spoke like that" he praised not breaking away from his amazed look.
Marco blushed scratching the back of his head, "Oh it was nothing, just what I thought was right" he chuckled awkwardly.
"No Bert has a point" Reiner commented with his approving smirk returning, "You handled that situation like a real leader would" his smirk turning to a smile as he looked around the fire, "We're all comrades here whether we like it or not and we need to respect that, you enforce that Marco".
"Yeah, we've all got to stand side by side no matter what" Bertholdt piped up again, "We all need to work together if we want to get anywhere, that means no conflict, as our leader said, we're all comrades now, brothers in arms and we need to treat each other like it and work together" he smiled nodding to Marco who scratched his cheek.
"I suppose you're right" Conny muttered pulling his knee up to his chest, "You guys are pretty alright you know that" he grinned his usual grin with a chuckle "I'll help you out when you need it, I suppose, I am a genius after all".
They all shared a laugh at his comment, "Your not so bad yourself Conny" Jean said with a small smile while looking down at the fire, "I suppose we can get along".
"What was that, Jean?" Marco said leaning into him with a sly smirk making him jump back.
"I-I said you're okay Conny, all of you are, j-just don't let it go to your head alright!" he quickly snapped facing away as the other shared another laugh.
"See we can all get along" Reiner smirked grabbing onto Jean and Bertholdt shoulders, "We're all in this together, especially since we have Marco here to lead us" he indicated to the boy.
"Yeah, I'll follow Marco" Conny cheered.
"I'll definitely have your back for the future Marco" Bertholdt smiled from across the fire.
"Sure, don't know who'd want to be a leader but you seem like a pretty good one Marco" Jean commented waving his hand.
"No guys you don't have too…" Marco tried to retort but it was too late.
"Marco, Marco, Marco, Marco, Marco" they cheered Jean half-heartedly but still doing it until he had to give in.
"Alright, I'll watch out for you guys too as long as you do the same back to me" he smiled getting affirming nods in response before all laughing together into the night.

To say Ymir was bored was likely an understatement but she couldn't think of a better word to describe her situation, here she was leaning back around a fire surrounded by four others but not just any four others, the last picked four others excluding her making her feel like she was dumped with this group.
"Floch, Hanna, Daz and Franz" she said their names breaking the silence around them as they faced her, "Is there literally anything interesting we can talk about?" she muttered her eyes turning to a half-lidded look as nothing came to mind and none of them responded.
"Oh, by the walls" she wined falling onto her back as she looked up to the stars, "I could be spending time together with Christa about now, but no I'm stuck here with the four…" she leaned up to look at them all, "I have no idea what to call you four".
"Our names?" Floch piped up as he twirled some piece of a neckless in his hand while he poked the fire with a stick.
"Ymir, if you don't want to be here why don't you go find one of the other camps" Hanna scolded before shivering slightly in the cold before Franz slid next to her bumping shoulders allowing her to lean to him a bit earing a sly smirk from Ymir.
"If I did that Hanna, who would keep the two of you from getting busy" she said raising her eyebrows in a knowing fashion making the two turn bright red and put some distance between them, "Oh no don't you two stop your snuggle session on my account" she teased with a small laugh finally getting some amusement as the lovebirds turned redder.
"Why are you like this Ymir?" Daz asked looking over to her with a genuinely quizzical expression.
"Why am I like what?" she asked with an uncaring look but with a raised eyebrow.
"Like you are, you're always trying to provoke people and constantly point out their flaws" he said trying to sound as confident as he could as her look turned to a glare.
"Are you trying to say you have a problem with me Daz?" she questioned keeping her glare as they boy retreated into himself.
"N-No, no problem, Ymir, I was just commenting on what I've seen" he hastily whimpered looking back to the fire.
Ymir sighed falling back again to look at the stars, "Holy shit just grow a backbone already you dumbass" she muttered to herself loud enough that only she would hear before her eyes landed back onto Floch, "What are you twirling there?" she indicated to the small square object he was twirling in his fingers.
Floch looked over to her before tucking the item back under his shirt, "Oh it's just a gift I got, I always wear it, it's nothing interesting" he muttered looking at her but not breaking his calm demeanour.
"At least you've got some confidence" Ymir mused looking to the other three in contemplation trying to think of anything they could talk about to get rid of at least some of the boredom, "All right, where you all planning on going regiment wise?" it was an easy question but the only one Ymir really had at her disposal.
"G-Garrison easy" Daz muttered, "I couldn't handle running outside the walls and I'm not skilled enough to make it to being an MP, so my place is set" he answered truthfully with quite the nervous tone.
Ymir briefly ponded if she'd broken him that badly with a simple glare but pushed that away as she looked to the love birds across from her, "What about you two?" she asked getting them to shoot their looks up at her.
"Garrison" they both quickly said before looking back down, Ymir couldn't be sure if it was the fire that was making their faces look red or if they were still blushing, but it did make for an amusing albeit quick sight.
She looked to the final person, "Garrison isn't it" she said not even needing to ask Floch as she was seeing an obvious pattern emerging and his nodded head confirmed her theory, "Seriously you're all going Garrison, is it the same reason as Daz over there" and she got more nods in response.
"You're all impossible" she muttered standing to walk away.
"What about you then?" Franz asked looking up at her.
Ymir about faced with her hands on her hips, "Scouts, where else would someone like me go" she chuckled stepping back up to all of them who each held their own confused expressions making it clear she had to explain, "Sure I could play it safe and if I really tried, I'd definitely make it into the MP's, but I don't want that, I've not had a easy day in my life so why the hell should I start one for myself now".
"But you might die outside the walls!" Hanna exclaimed in shock that someone would want to willing join the Scouts, especially someone like Ymir.
"Eh maybe, or maybe I won't there's only one way to find out isn't there" she gave a cocked smile as they all shared a lost expression with each other.
"You're not making any sense; you want to risk you life to find out if you'll die!" Floch exclaimed standing up.
Ymir clicked her tongue, "Exactly, let me make it simpler for you" she stepped closer overlooking them all as she held up a single finger, "You've got four choices, one is drop out and just give up which I know at least some of you have thought about" she cast a glance to Daz as she held up a second finger, "Two you can work really hard to make it to the MP's where you'll spend the rest of your years get fucked from behind by the rich"
She held up a third finger, "The Garrison, which is the boring choice where if the Titans break down the walls again, you'll immediately be thrown into the grinder to protect some officer who'll not even remember your name".
And finally, the fourth finger, "Finally you could join the Scouts and actually feel like you're doing something, sure you might die, actually you probably will die but at least you'll die doing something instead of sitting around waiting for death to meet you".
She looked to them all who seemed to be in their own quiet contemplation, "Ultimately the decision is yours, I couldn't care less what you do" she turned on her heels to walk into the forest, "Just remember what I told you" She walked into the darkness leaving them to their thoughts.

Back with our first group, they were all now leaning back looking to the stars after they had just finished sharing a laugh, "Oh that reminds me!" Thomas suddenly exclaimed sitting up getting the others attention, "Have you heard the rumours about the training after this?".
"No, what have you overhead something?" Nack questioned tilting his head to the side while the others looked at him intrigued.
"Yeah actually, it's from one of the female cadets Ruth Kline I think her name was" he leaned in towards them as if it was some big secret making them copy his actions, "Apparently, she overheard Sadies wanting to move us onto ODM gear finally".
There was a silent cheer that went around the bonded group before Thomas drew their attention back in, "It get's better, so get this apparently our Commandant is really close with the Scout regiments current Commander and has actually requested for some Scouts to come down to help teach us".
"So, we'll be learning from the best" Eren said enthralled by this information getting a nod from Thomas, "This is great, finally some proper training and by Scouts no less" he cheered actually getting excited for a training day.
"Who will it be though?" Milieus asked, "I mean I doubt they'll send their best like Levi, Sky or Mike they're probably way to busy to teach a bunch of Cadets ODM gear" he concluded.
"That's if any of them are even available, the Scouts must be busy all the time" Armin added getting nods around the group
"I've no idea I just know that training is finally getting interesting" Thomas smiled along with the others now eagerly awaiting their next training session.

End of chapter 4.
So, who do you think it'll be…
