章節 3: The beginning of the journey
The next day, Takashi had begun his journey of no return, as he had decided a few days ago upon learning how helpless he would be in his future days as a human in this world. With him was Sasha, the two of them sitting in a humble carriage on their way to enroll in the Training Corps.
The one driving the carriage was an old man in a blue-gray coat and a kind face with affable manners.
The village where Takashi and Sasha meet is called Dauper, it is located in the southern part of the "Rose" Wall, it is a hunting village with a small number of people in the mountains far from the village more at the edge of the forest.
As the village chief, today the old man went to town to help the villagers buy some necessities like oil and salt, so he took Takashi and Sasha along the way. The Training Corps was stationed in the area south of the "Rose Wall."
In the convertible carriage, Takashi looked at Sasha Blouse, getting to know her more closely. You can't say this girl is attractive, but she's cute in a way, still.... In the end she's just a girl who likes food in her general description.
Maybe it was because he wouldn't be able to see his daughter for a long time, Mr. Blouse prepared Sasha a big package full of food, which contained bread, boiled sweet potatoes and a piece of meat.
After an hour of traveling, Sasha did not talk to Takashi, she just ate and ate again with no intention of stopping.
Looking at this whole scene, Takashi felt that he was a little hungry.
At that moment, he was also remembering the plot of Attack on Titan. When he was still of low means in his previous life, he followed the whole animated drama closely and enthusiastically. However, after coming to this world he could not remember beyond only twenty episodes of the series.
He was a bit lost about it, he could only speculate that it was about the entity that sent him to this world in the first place. He only remembered when the female titan was chasing the Exploration Corps, but after the brilliant trap the chase stopped.
Now he was conflicted about not being able to access all his memories of this world, he also vaguely remembered how Captain Levi saved Eren without clearly knowing who the titans threatening the walls were.
Besides, he had experienced many things in his life and had spent a lot of time anyway, even though he was a true fan he had forgotten many details.
Takashi could now only rely on the Mangekyo Sharingan, he knew that the power of his eyes was classified into four different forms.
In the first form his Susanoo manifested a skeletal torso of energy that completely protected him from strong attacks and this reduced Takashi's lifespan by 3 years every time he used it.
The second form was somewhat different, his Susanoo manifests arms and a skull, granting him powerful protective defense as well as manipulation of his arms, but Takashi's lifespan is reduced by nine years each time he uses that form.
For the third form, here things start to get interesting. The Susanoo in this part can manifest by covering the skeletal body of the second phase with muscles, also covering it with a mask, maybe this form can beat any titan for the most part, but the life that is reduced left Takashi freezing, 18 years are what will be reduced from his life by using it.
And for the fourth form, Takashi's Susanoo manifests in its full form, reaching a size unimaginable for any titan on earth. Such is its power, that Takashi's life will be reduced by 36 years when using it.
And there was something interesting, to invoke a characteristic weapon of the Susanoo, Takashi's life will be reduced by four years for each use of a specific weapon.
Having twelve years in this body, he possibly has no more than 75 years of useful life left to live. If he uses the fourth form three times, he would die without being able to live in this new world.
What kind of nonsense are his gifts if they are modified like that?
Thinking about it now, Takashi vaguely remembers that the titan shifters only live twelve years at the moment they inherit the titan and although he didn't remember how many titans there were, only from the first ones that were presented in the story and of which he remembers, Takashi counted four plus the female titan.
So now Takashi is reluctant to use the powerful Susanoo in this world, another important point is that the characteristic strength of an Ackerman was taken from his body when he awoke in this world. Leaving him alone with limited use of Chakra and a Suanoo that dooms him to live less years in every minuscule use he makes.
Takashi covered his face, he sighed, carelessly, who knew he would come to this extremely dangerous world!
Sasha looked at Takashi, who was covering his head with a weak face, finally stopped eating sweet potatoes and asked uncertainty "That.... Takashi, does your head hurt? You hurt your head just two days ago and you need a good rest."
Sasha hesitated for a moment, then broke the sweet potato he was eating in half and handed it to him, "Eat more, so you won't have a headache during the trip."
"What?"
Takashi took half of the sweet potato with a puzzled face. Was there some inevitable connection between eating and curing headaches?
He tried to take a bite, and wow, it tasted pretty good, it was delicious!
Sasha looked at Takashi, who had eaten the potato, and showed a cute smile. She gained a bit of self-confidence and felt that it wasn't that hard to get along with others, so she would have a friend in the future. Well, although she already knew him from a long time ago.
Takashi didn't know that he became the first friend in Sasha's eyes. He was just thinking about Sasha who was a very kind girl matching his description of her personality. Come to think of it, Sasha is a character apparently very important to the plot. There were some scenes where he knew nothing tragic happened, but indescribably he felt a little sadness in his heart.
Looking at Sasha, who was still stuffing food into her mouth, Takashi finally couldn't help but ask, "Sasha, are you still hungry?"
Sasha's a little embarrassed and said, "Ha, sorry, I haven't had enough to eat in a long time. After the fall of Mary's Wall two years ago and the influx of refugees in the surrounding area, I was often hungry."
The forest inside Rose's Wall has recovered a lot. He was also a hunter, so he must know that prey was dwindling in number due to the settlements around the forest of inhabitants who migrated from Mary Wall.
Nodding with compression, Takeshi said, "Of course, if it weren't for the absence of prey, I wouldn't have to go into the forest and almost get killed by that bear!"
That's right, the prey is getting harder and harder to catch, otherwise, the original Takashi will not die.
His father was also killed by a wild animal when he went into the forest long ago, of course, that animal was eventually killed by Uncle Blouse and his companions.
Otherwise, the Takashi of the past would also go to take revenge on whatever would have killed his father.
Sasha's eyes lit up and she looked at Takashi with some admiration, "I heard you killed that bear a few days ago, you are someone amazing."
Takashi smiled with a bit of pride, at the end of the day past actions helped him a lot in the future.
...
The village where he lived is very remote.
It took more than two hours for the carriage to reach the nearest town, and on the way, besides chatting with the old man for a while, Sasha enjoyed his meal again.
The amount of food in the packet Mr. Blouse gave him was enough to eat three meals per person, and he ended up eating about the same amount of food in one meal.
It was scary, no wonder Mr. Blouse wanted to send her to be a soldier, the training corps seemed to have no salary according to Takashi, but they were covered with food.
When the village arrived, the wheels stopped turning. The old village chief smiled and looked at the two people who were looking curiously at the carriage, "Boys, here we are, you have to train hard when you are about to become soldiers. Don't embarrass our village."
Takashi responded immediately, looking at Sasha who was still eating, and said helplessly, "Sasha, we are here, it's time to get off."
"Please wait a moment, I'll finish soon!" Sasha was a little anxious and said as she shoved a fistful of food into her mouth.
"This girl..." Takashi, a bit annoyed, reached out and grabbed the bag where it contained the rest of Sasha's food, jumped out of the carriage and ran forward, "Sasha, if you don't catch up to me, I'll eat the rest of your food!"
Sasha blanched in shock, holding a bag of seeds in her left hand, picking up the bag of clothes in her right hand and nimbly jumped out of the carriage.
She immediately gave chase, shouting as she chased after it, "Takashi, wait, don't eat it all, I'm right behind you!"
Seeing the two people running further and further, the speed was very fast. The old village leader smiled, shook his head, and said excitedly: "It's good to be young, I hope they can survive in this horrible world..."
After chasing Takashi for a while, Sasha finally got her food back, she couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Takashi, I thought we were friends!"
"Let's sign up early, registration will be over in two days, next time you'll have a delicious meal without being disturbed." Takashi shrugged his shoulders.
This feeling is good, Sasha's eyes immediately lit up, "Thank you, this is what you said, you can't steal my food."
After walking for about two hours, Takashi and Sasha arrived at the base of the training regiment, a small valley on the southern side of the Rose Wall.
The valley is shaped like a basin, with earthen walls on three sides, and two wide granite turnouts on the other side of the slope, which are the main roads leading to the towns in the outer regions.
In the afternoon, Takashi and Sasha arrived at the registration room. The registration time was less than a week. This was the fourth day and it was relatively late, so there was no one in the registration office.
What caught his attention was a bald black man. A middle-aged man in military uniform was sitting behind a desk. After looking at the two of them, he took two watches from the desk: "Fill in your identity information, and then fill out this form to get two sets of training uniforms. Someone will arrange accommodation later, remember not to cause trouble."
"Understood!"
Takashi and Sasha completed the form, then went to the warehouse to pick up two sets of uniforms and said their goodbyes.
He walked toward the boys' dormitory. The housing conditions of the training corps were not very good. After all, it was a group of recruits, with four-person rooms, eight-person rooms, twelve-person rooms, and large collective dormitories.
Takashi was lucky and was assigned a quadruple room.
He quietly entered his room and looked down. The floor was clean and tidy, and had been cleaned. Obviously, someone had been living in these last few days.
The two bunk beds had a total of 4 beds. Seeing that there was an empty lower bunk, Takashi naturally smiled and threw his luggage on the bed. At that moment, someone pushed the door and entered.
Takashi turned his head to look, and his face was stunned. This was a pretty girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and a cute look.
Takashi cleared his throat and said politely, "Hey, you made a mistake, the girls' dormitory is on the other side."
The person who entered was stunned for a moment and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Well, I'm actually... a man."
"What?"
Takashi stared at the young man in front of him in astonishment. He looked at her neck carefully and found Adam's apple.
"I'm Takashi Ackerman, I was assigned this dorm to sleep in. Please share any problems." Takashi replied, a little embarrassed. Just now he mistook a man for a woman in his vague memories.
The blond boy was a little surprised, he replied, "I'm Armin Arlert, let's be good friends."
Well, Takashi's expression is a bit strange, this seems to be someone very similar to a girl named Christa.
"Would teaming up with him be beneficial?" Takashi wondered silently. However, this doesn't seem to work in the future. Even the halo of Eren Jaeger's protagonist can't protect him as well, as far as he knew.... In short, he must be careful.
Without interacting with Armin anymore, Takashi shrugged off the men and lay down on his bed. After a while, a boy possessing fair skin, gray eyes and black hair with a bitter expression entered.
Eren Yeager, a protagonist destined for the horrors of this world, has a childhood friend, good friends in the future and special powers, but that can't stop him from feeling worse and worse in the future.
It's not that he's weak, but it's a cruel world and even with Takashi's strength it's impossible to save everyone.
At least Takashi is aware that humans are at an absolute disadvantage, it will be difficult to make friends that possibly in the future he will lose.
