Chương 4: The Instructor's harsh words

In the evening, Takashi had already interacted with the main protagonist of this world named Eren Jaeger, both greeted each other nicely, so now they already knew each other.

After some time, another young man with a small blond haircut, entered the room, introduced himself to Taksashi as Thomas Wagner, and now the four people were gathered in the bedroom chatting amicably.

Next, according to Takashi's understanding they would live here for three long years until they completed their training.

To be honest, Takashi had no idea who Thomas was in the original story . Even with characters as important as Armin was he had trouble identifying him correctly, but since Thomas was now his roommate, he at least hoped that he would be stronger than at first and live much longer.

In such a world, this is already a blessing for someone who was entering the corps no matter where they go at the end of training.

"Damn, how do I get this belt on correctly, the pants don't fit as well as I'd like!" Eren tried on the uniform with a worried expression. It was really troublesome to wear the training corps uniform for the first time, especially those belts that were really hard to put on.

But these belts in the end could not be removed. In the future, by using the three-dimensional maneuvering device, these belts will help to adjust the posture and control the balance in the air of the body in an ideal way.

Takashi adjusted the belts all over his body in an ideal way and then put on the rest of the uniform slowly, just as he finished he looked at Eren and said, "Eren, don't worry, I already put on the uniform according to the instructions, it should be the right way to wear it, I will teach you. "

This is also Takashi's first time wearing this uniform, but patiently and neatly and adjusting the uniform slowly to his body, seeing Eren in trouble, he happily helped someone he admires a lot.

"Great, I'm going crazy!" Eren was a little happy to hear that someone was offering to help him. He had been trying to put on his uniform for as long as ten minutes. During that period of time, the belt on his legs was adjusted wrong several times and he had lost what little patience he had.

The current Eren is a bit irritable. Well, even Takashi would lose patience if he didn't succeed in something that in the future would be as normal for him as putting on underpants.

On the other hand, Armin, having finished putting on his uniform and seeing that his friend Eren was being helped by Takashi, turned to Thomas and slowly explained to him how to dress properly. When he finished, Thomas scoffed at himself and said, "I'm so excited to be able to be a soldier, but now I can't even naturally figure out the proper way to dress in uniform. Looking at them now, the talent gap is too big. Folks, please don't tell others what happened today, for me it's too embarrassing."

Thomas has a gentle and informal personality, and is a good person to get along with. Which is why no one in the room had any intention of bothering him.

Under Takashi's careful explanation, Eren finally put on the standard uniform of the corps training soldier and his mood seemed once again full of energy and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of doing something like that to a comrade."

The four of them chatted for a while longer, and Thomas prepared a pot of black coffee that he brought from home with hot water and poured a cup for everyone.

Takashi had naturally become accustomed to this very calm and relaxing environment, having tasted black coffee, and surprisingly it tasted very good. Thomas explained that he was a native of the hinterlands of the Trost district. So he knew very little about what happened on the Maria wall,

"What do you want to become soldiers for?" Thomas finally asked, putting down his cup.

"To see the outside world." Armin replied casually.

"To kill all the damn Titans!" Eren said briskly.

Takashi could notice an obvious hatred in the tone of his voice, after all few people can keep their cool after what Eren experienced when the wall in his city was torn down.

When Takashi felt everyone's gaze on his body, he smiled calmly and said, "Well, I've always felt helpless when I hear people talking about titans... To be honest, I'd rather learn how to kill titans than wait for my death inside the walls that will most likely in the future be torn down again. The one way to win and live peacefully, is to kill them all, exterminate them."

Eren was stunned and together with Armin looked at each other in surprise, it was so rare that someone would have this idea.

Takashi knew that Eren wanted to join the Exploration Corps to kill the titans and in a way avenge his mother's death, fulfilling his own goal at the same time. But Takashi's words were much simpler to digest, visualizing a goal that was always in the minds of all the soldiers facing the titans.

However, Eren and Armin felt that Takashi's intentions were nothing more than that, simply personally seeking the world he wants to live in.

In fact, the original "Takashi" also had the idea of joining the Exploration Corps to expel the titans, as his father was killed by the influence of the refugees and the hardships of the hunt, so he could only blame this damn complicated world.

The essential reason for all these events is that the titans broke down the Mary Wall and humans lost a lot of territory, rich land where many people lived comfortably. It's just that the Takashi of the past had bad luck and died before he could be recruited into the Exploration Corps.

And after Takhashi thought about the incredible power he possessed, his mind would not leave him alone if he just stood on the sidelines doing absolutely nothing for what was now the future of his world.

He doesn't really understand the world, but he is much better than ordinary people.

He can't be a coward, if he doesn't work hard now, nothing will assure him that he can survive. No matter how powerful the giant is, he has to fight the titans and learn before it's too late! He can't rely on his Susanoo alone, he still didn't want to expose that ability that takes years off his lifespan when he uses it.

Takashi was a bit surprised, he came on the fourth day he signed up. He stayed here for two more days, not that he wasn't interested in talking to others, let alone anyone with the same goal as him, after hearing his ambitions, it would be polite if he didn't ridicule him for his fierce desires.

"Takashi, why do you believe in that dream? From your words you seem to be from the Rose Wall, don't you?" Armin asked curiously.

"I am a hunter. After my father died two years ago, I lived alone. The only forest I have now has gradually disappeared. I have no home! And it would bother me to live locked in a wall from which I only wait in fear for my unfortunate death, if I can do something, I am willing to do anything so that someone else does not suffer from hunger, forced migrations and in terror."

That's right, he has no home. Whether it's the original Takashi or the current Takashi, he's the type of person who has no intention of waiting around, knowing that his help however small would make a change for the future.

Of course, he can't talk about his own past life issues, so Takashi told them some of the original body's experiences in this life.

"You said you hunted alone when you were ten years old, and it's been two years?" Thomas was a little surprised.

He didn't know how to hunt, but he knew how hard it was when he thought about it, especially now that the forest area had shrunk considerably.

Eren and Armin also looked at Takashi in surprise, as they were less than twelve years old, they actually lived in a wasteland for two years before coming to this place. Although life for everyone is hard, it's better to have food supply anyway, than to find food from time to time in the forest.

Takashi smiled proudly and said nothing. The original owner of this body was very strong and brave. Even with the help and care of the villagers, it was very difficult for a ten-year-old boy to hunt and make a living alone, let alone live in an independent way.

Some people have done their best to live, and he is also one of those people!

He, a traveler, actually admired him. Takashi died for his stubbornness and his decision to enter the forest as a hunter. If perhaps he had chosen to stay at home, his fate would not have been death.

"Then let's work together and train hard to join the Exploration Corps!" Eren said excitedly, extending his hand to the sky with a clenched fist.

"It's decided." Takashi clenched fists with Eren and they agreed to fight together in the future.

Although it seems like just kid talk, the two are serious in their hearts.

In fact, this time is the first time Takashi makes an analysis of his real age, Takashi is only twelve years old, and he remembers being no more than eighteen in his previous life, although he comes from another world, he is still a teenager.

Coupled with the fact that he has read fewer books, he cannot be said to be mature. Many people don't know that they came to an agreement the first day they met, although their starting points were very different.

...

Scouting Corps Commander Eren Jaeger: "There is only one subject in our objective, freedom! Free! Free!"

"Commander Jaeger, you mean there is no negotiation?" Takashi asked with a dejected look.

"There is not, Recruit Ackerman."

Aemin was a little happy for Eren, but Thomas just smiled and said nothing. Joining the Exploration Corps or something, he still felt a little crazy on the simple idea of his new friends, how could humans defeat titans?

Of course it's hard for ordinary people to defeat titans, but only monsters in a human's body can try. After thinking about that, Thomas just smiled awkwardly.

...

The next day, the instructors talked about some topics such as uniforms, standing posture, etc... In the training camp, the most important thing was the "give the heart" salute, that is, the right hand in fist and the fingers were raised in front of the left chest right in front of the heart.

Takashi looked at the training field surrounded by craters, there were about three hundred people around, which gave him a feeling of oppression and pride.

Today is the last day to register.

The training has not started yet. Tomorrow there will be a joining ceremony for the recruits. After the joining ceremony is over, they will immediately enter training mode.

There are only two days off at the end of a month, which can be called only as devil training.

The elimination rate, disability rate and mortality rate are relatively high. To put it bluntly, it is not bad that there are people in their early 20s who graduate successfully.

The training corps is also an army, not a place to play.

Soldiers trained here are capable of fighting titans, of course, whether they have the courage to enter the Scout Corps after graduating is another matter. In short, the training is very strict and everyone should take it seriously.

Just now, the intimidating-looking instructor with slightly brown skin who calls himself Keith Shadis said he would train his group of boys and girls hard, and let Takashi and the others know what military training is!

There was nothing extra to do today, Takashi made the bed, Thomas was in his top bunk, Eren on the other side was also in the bottom bunk, Eren's good friend, the lovely boy Armin was Eren's top bunk.

The four of them went back to cleaning the small dormitory, they were lucky, many people had to squeeze into the large collective dormitory.

...

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. On the training grounds there were about 317 training in uniform, lined up in a square and standing on the large playground. Today is the regimental induction ceremony. After today, they will officially begin training.

More than a dozen instructors stood in front of the crowd, and then a middle-aged man with a bald head in military uniform walked to the high platform, looked at the recruits and said loudly, "Today is the 104th Recruit Induction Ceremony, and I am Keith Shadis, the unfortunate one who was sent to supervise you. I tell you, I don't welcome you at all! You are now just a lamb of the herd, food for titans!

We will spend three years training you and teaching you to fight Titans. After three years, standing in front of titans, will you still be food, or will you become the wall of fame protecting the king, or will you get the glory of driving out the Titans? It's up to all of you to decide!"

After Instructor Keith finished speaking, he asked some trainers who had seen titans devouring people to stand up and step aside.

Takashi looked at him, there were about twenty people, all of whom had seen the horror of the titans, including Eren and Mikasa.

As for the remaining nearly 300 people, sorry, soon Instructor Keith will doubt your true determination!
