32 I Dont Have A Title (2/2)
” So, is this is your secret? ” Levu pulled a knife from his military boots and was ready to take Ace out ” give me a reason to not kill you right here and right now ”
” Hold back Levi, I don't think we are enemies,” said Erwin
Ace was surprised at this, he expected some kind of suspicion and distrust to break between them as shown by Levi but he didn't expect the commander to be this trusting at the beginning
As if knowing what Ace was thinking, Erwin smiled a little and said ” I prepared myself days ago for something like this, I didn't expect from you to turn into a titan but I expected something closer, adding what you father said earlier ” Erwin was referring to what Roger said when he mentioned about his son's ”Power”. Erwin was quick on picking that hint up
” then, that will make our talk run smoothly,” said Ace as he took his shirt off to dry it up
” We are listening,” said Erwin
**************************
Back at the Mansion, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, and Krista are resting after a long training session under C. Laurance. Krista had joined the training 3 days after her marriage with Ace. After knowing that the 4 of them will be joining the military training, she insisted on Maria to let her join their training, Maria refused at first and said that Krista should focus on herself and be a good wife instead of going after death even tho she knows that her family are basically immortals, she couldn't bring herself to let her daughter experience that hell out there , but she agreed after Ace said he will be needing his wife beside him to keep him company and who was she to separate a husband and wife. in the end, she could only give up
” Is it true that the survey corps are here in the mansion? did they arrive already?! ” Eren asked Krista with an excited face, Levi was his idol and he was dying to meet him ” where are they? I want to meet them ”
” After they finish talking with Ace you can do whatever you want, Fanboy,” said Krista, ner relationship had improved a lot with Eren, Mikasa and Armin, especially with Mikasa, they became good friends in short amount of time.
” I don't know what you like about that midget?” said Mikasa ” whatever he can do, other soldiers can too ” she never realized how special Levi was, and never understood why he was called Humanity's strongest weapon. from her point of view, he was just another soldier who is good at fighting, that was all
” You don't understand, let me educate you...” Eren started blabbing about Levi and his past achievements, his titan killing records, and how charismatic he is. Poor boy
” Eren...Enough, please, we heard this speech like 87th time since last week ” Armin had it the worst, all day long Erin couldn't stop talking about Levi with the survey corps and how cool they are. but his words didn't even reach Eren's ears and he continued to talk
” KIDS!! FOOD IS READY!” Maria called them from the mansion's balcony, she was wearing her apron and her hair tied in a ponytail
The kids ran inside the house and they were met with Erwin, Ace, Levi, Hange, and Roger sitting on the table. Maria insisted that the survey corps people won't leave until they had shared food with them, Maria couldn't leave her guests to leave without even making food for them
As soon as Eren saw Levi, he dashed at him and expressed his admiration for him, as he stated that he will be joining the survey corps after the military training. Hange teased Levi saying he got himself a fan, only to be ignored by him
After eating food and chatting for a bit, Eren and co decided it was time to leave
Outside of the mansion
Erwin faced Ace and shook his hand
” I can't express my gratitude towards you enough Ace-sama, we will prepare everything when for the next three years. as for that potion you gave us, I will send Levi personally to get it every month” Levi nodded in agreement
” Yes, just remember that my limit is 1 every day, meaning 30 every month,” said Ace, he had given Commander Erwin a potion that was made from Mixing his blood with water with the sole purpose of healing grave wounds. he gave this to help the survey corps from losing soldiers every time they left the walls, it won't prevent their deaths but it can help heal the injured soldiers who suffer grave injuries like broken bones and missing limbs.
this was the beginning of the rise of the survey corps.
