Chapter 12 - Training Begins 2

Mikasa came to meet up with Asriel after Keith dismissed them asking if he was alright and if he needed to go to the infirmary. Asriel spend some time calming her down by some pettings and huggings. Only then did she finally stopped worrying and went to the female barracks. The barracks were separated into female and male barracks, they were huge cabins with fifty rooms which could house four person per room. Asriel went to the male barracks(obviously) and to his assigned room which was shared with Eren, Armin and another trainee. They introduced themselves and got to know each other. After some rest the trainees finally came out from their barracks to have dinner. They saw that Sasha was still running around the training grounds. She looked extremely tired but she was still slowly going. Some of the trainees were already watching her like Jean, Marco, Connie and the rest. Asriel arrived later to join them with Eren, Armin and Mikasa. They watched a bit and went to the dinning hall for dinner. While they were eating Marco notes that Eren was not affected by Keith's harassment. He noticed it since he was in the same row with Eren. Eren reveals that he was a survivor from Shiganshina District. When the recruits heard that, they swarmed him and asked him questions. When the questions become too probing and begin to upset Eren, Marco begins chiding them.

At one point Eren describes how he was going to join the Scout Regiments and kill all of the titans to which Jean mocks him. Eren being Eren, got too worked up and was about to retaliate when Asriel interrupted him.

" Jean, back off. Him wanting to kill off all the titans is a good thing. If he delivers on what he said, who knows, he might be your superior in the future. What about you? What regiment do you want to join?" (Asriel)

Hearing what Asriel said Jean replied " Him being my superior? Ha! Fat chance! And I'll be joining the Military Police, unlike that suicidal manic!"

" You..." (Eren) before he could say anything Asriel hold him back. Mikasa was nearby hidden behind Asriel's back and other trainees which are still crowding around them.

" Hey if you want to join the Military Police, that's your choice. It is a good decision in my opinion since you will be useless against titans with that weak mentality of yours. Now you won't be a burden to us who are joining the Scout Regiment. It would be a pain in the ass to babysit you while we are busy dealing with the titans. So please, by all means stay behind those 'SAFE' walls while we go save humanity." (Asriel)

" YOU..." (Jean)

" What? Got something to say? Cat got your tongue?" replied Asriel as his red eyes shined a bit and his killing intent crushing into Jean like a tsunami. Jean felt like he was just a sheep waiting for the wolf to slaughter him. His body was heavy, his throat was parched, his face was contorted, he was suffocated and he was sweating a lot. Asriel only released his killing intent for an instant but in that instant not only was Jean affected even Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie and Ymir were affected. They felt like he was a primordial being waiting to be unleashed and felt that they had no chance of survival if they were to fight with him, even in their titan forms. Reiner and Bertholdt looked at each other, both could see the fear in the other's eyes and cold sweat running down their face. At that moment they decided to avoid Asriel at all cost in the future. Annie and Ymir although felt fear from him, they were mostly curious of why he made them feel such fear.

After his little 'show of force' he left the dinning hall with Mikasa closely following from behind.Eren was happy and proud of Asriel for standing up for him and for making an impressive speech while Armin admired Asriel more than ever. Eren saw that Jean was scared out of his skins and give him a smug smile before leaving with Armin. Asriel didn't forget to bring some bread for Sasha as he and Mikasa went towards the training grounds.

" Eru...I'm still worried that you'll be joining the Scout Regiment." said Mikasa with a worried face.

Asriel patted her head and replied with a warm smile " Don't worry Mikasa, you know that your Eru is not so easy to kill. I promise I won't do anything reckless."

" But..." (Mikasa)

Before she could finish her sentence Asriel grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace. She was surprised for a bit but quickly held on to him.

" Mikasa...I promise that I won't leave your side. Ever. Even if you said to leave you I'll shamelessly stick close to you." (Asriel)

" Nn..." Mikasa nuzzled her head into his neck as a reply, she was also smiling slightly. [ I feel like all she wanted was a hug since every time she showed her worry for me I would hug her, and oddly, she was worrying about me more than ever...maybe I'm just overthinking things. ] thought Asriel. They hugged for a while before walking towards Sasha. When they reached there they saw Sasha lying down, taking a rest before she suddenly went into beast mode with eyes shining red and all and launched towards them. Asriel knew this was going to happen so he doged her. Sasha came to a stop before trying to launch at them again like a mad bull. She tried but Asriel caught her head with his hand and held her up.

" Calm the f.u.c.k down....jeez I'll give you the food so chill!" said Asriel and handed her the bread. When she took the bread she quickly came out of her beast mode and stuffed the bread as much as she can in her mouth. They then heard sounds of someone walking towards them. Asriel wasn't surprised since he knows who it is, Mikasa being Mikasa while Sasha was too busy stuffing the bread to notice. Christa walked towards them with some bread and a flask of water. She was surprised to see Asriel and Mikasa there already.

" Um...I saved some bread and water for you Sasha but I didn't know Asriel-san and Mikasa-san would be here too." (Christa)

" Did you think I was a heartless person or something? " replied Asriel with a wry smile.

" N..no I....I didn't mean to...I thought....I mean..." (Christa) before she could say any further Sasha interrupted them with stars in her eyes as she shouted " You both, are god and goddess!"

" Christa, why are you trying to help that potato girl? (Ymir)

" Eh....I...I just wanted to be helpful to my fellow soldier." (Christa)

" Heh, can't you see that Mr. Saviour of Humanity here is already helping her?" (Ymir)

" Well nice to meet you too Ms. Not so nice." replied Asriel with a smile.

" Huh what did you say?!" (Ymir)

" Umm...please don't fight." (Christa)

" *shakes head* Nice to meet you, name's Asriel and this is Mikasa please take care of us in the future." replied Asriel with an amused smile.

" Che.....Ymir" she folded her hand, turned her head to the side slightly and replied reluctantly.

" My name is Christa Lenz please take care of me in the future as well" replied Christa with a bright smile.
