" shit " cursed Annie as she massaged her bruised body as she walked away from the training field, straight into the forest a place she found herself feeling the most calm in
' he used my style better than me ' thought Annie as her mind drifted back to their sparring session. She remembers how casually he dodge her attacks or easily outplayed her during it. What really pissed her off was how he started pointing out how flawed her attacks were, at first she scoffed, thinking that him dodging her was because of the difference in their psychical stats, it was how she believes he won most if not all his fights
Why did she come to this conclusion? No one she had ever fought had a physique as large as his, sure they had muscles but none of them had biceps the size of someone's face, he just looked massive and slow, she was sure if their strength was similar she'd play him like a fiddle
( A.N the lowest body fat percentage someone can reach is 4%, do you think Michael can go lower because of his high vitality? He's currently 5% yet he still weighs several thousand pounds )
Only for him to suddenly perform every style she's ever done or seen, many she's never even heard of with a perfection she never thought possible. Their were so simple, yet they looked like slow precise strokes of a master painter
She simply couldn't wrap her mind around he picture of someone that massive doing a full split, she would have been in awe if it wasn't for the calm expression that always adorned his face, like what he just did was completely natural for him
" what's with that face " Annie heard a voice which snapped her put of her thoughts and made her raise her head warily only to calm down when she saw it's owner
" you really need to teach me how you do that " said Annie calmly, she might not look like it but always kept her guard up after how easy Mikasa sneaked up on her, yet even with her senses strained she still couldn't sense her arrival
" you're to weak " said Mikasa calmly causing Annie's face to twitch slightly completely missing the self satisfaction on Mikasa's face before she looked at Annie weirdly
" what are you doing " asked Mikasa as she watched Annie take off her hoodie and stood before her in a top her arms raised as fighting intent wafted off her
" didn't you wanna spar train together ? " asked Annie as she started attacking Mikasa who only dodge her attacks,,the same weird expression adorning her face, only for it to grow weirder as Annie's assault suddenly grew more aggressive causing Mikasa to catch both her fist before delivering a head but to Annie, stunning her and flooring her
" what was that ? " asked Mikasa as she looked at Annie who's hair covered her face as she stared at the sky
" why do you know that style ? " asked Annie softly, nearly inaudible if not for Mikasa's good hearing
" what style ? " asked Mikasa growing even more confused
" why do you know that style " exclaimed Annie as she sat up surprising Mikasa " why do you know his blasted style " shouted Annie angrily, shocking Mikasa as she's never seen so much expression from the girl when she sneaked and watched Michael training the recruits
' style what style? the only styles I know are what Michael thought me .... ' pondered Mikasa before she turned and looked at Annie, a strange glint flashing in her eyes
" follow me " said Mikasa as she grabbed Annie and threw her on her back before they disappeared, Mikasa's figure shooting through the forest along with Annie's surprised scream. After a while the duo came before a large 3 story house, before Mikasa put down Annie who step backwards unsteadily
" what.....what the hell was that? " asked Annie after she calmed herself, she looked at Mikasa her mouth agape as she now started to understand the gap between her and the girl before her
" I'm not as fast as the others but I'm can still reach speeds higher than 100m/s " said Mikasa, as pride could be heard from her voice, only for her to freeze as Annie looked at her in confusion causing the girl to face palm
" right backwards people " muttered Mikasa, causing Annie to want to smack her even though she didn't really understand what Mikasa meant but she had it feeling it wasn't good
" how tall is your titan form? " asked Mikasa as if nothing happened
" 14m " said Annie not following along, causing her to look at Mikasa questioningly
" how fast can you run in your Titan form? " asked Mikasa, not explaining anything just as yet
" I don't know....I do know I can easily outrun horses or catch up to ODM Gear " said Annie calmly, though her pride was leaking
" let's put it like this " said Mikasa as she suddenly step forward and drew a line in the dirt before she walked forward more and drew another
" this is one metre " said Mikasa before she jumped to the first line " I just crossed this one metre distance in 1 second, meaning I moved at 1m/s " explained Mikasa before she jumped and drew another line before jumping back to the first
" I just cleared 10 m in one second, how fast did I move ? " asked Mikasa looking at Annie
" 10m/s " answered Annie easily causing Mikasa to nod her head with a smile
" a horse in this world can run at 35m/s, If I had to calculate you speed in titan form I'd say 45-50 m/s " explained Mikasa " do you understand now? " asked Mikasa, only for her to smile as she got her answer from Annie's widened eyes
' she's twice my speed ' thought Annie in shock only for her to freeze and stiffly turn her head
" you..." said Annie her finger trembling in anger " why are you here ? " asked Annie as she looked at Michael who was walking up the path, only for her eyes to widen when Mikasa jumped into his arms
" this is my home, why wouldn't I be here "
