AOT: Humanity's Last Stand Chapter Thirty One: What A Drag

I stood at a wall, I had finished my 200 laps around the Training camp and beside me was Sasha who was on the ground, her expression showing her annoyance.

"I can't believe Instructor Keith was such a bad person," Sasha said.

I looked at the girl with wide eyes, Are you aware that eating Potatoes in front of that man is a serious crime?

"Here," I said to her and handed over a loaf of bread and a cup of wine, I had put a lot of them in my Inventory because I didn't want to eat the trash in the Mess hall, Bread is not meant to be as hard as rock... No, It is meant to be serenely soft, A food for the gods just like Lasagna.

"Where did you..."

"Don't question the logic or you'll end up confusing yourself," I said to her and she nodded before eating the bread and taking down the wine.

"Thanks," She said as she dropped the cup down and looked at the sky, It wasn't night. With my intervention, She had managed to finish at 6 and it was still dinner time at the Mess hall.

"Come on, Let's go for real dinner," I said, extending my hand to her. She took my hand and stood up.

"You really helped a lot today, Aeron," Sasha said, "And you even gave me food, Don't you feel annoyed that a girl eats so much?"

'You're a regular person compared to the Saiyans I'm used to watching,' I thought and smiled at her.

"Nope, You seem normal to me," I said and then we started walking toward the Mess hall.

…

"Oh, It was that guy that said that he came here because he was bored," A random boy called out, "And even Potato girl,"

A series of chuckles erupted from the room and I sighed.

"Some people can't just keep their mouths shut," I said and sighed again, "What a drag,"

I found two empty seats next to Mikasa and Anna and of course, I dragged Sasha along and we sat down, Seems like Eren is having that stupid speech again.

"Yeah, I saw the big guy," Eren said.

Oh come on, What did I tell you yesterday? Stop trying to draw all the attention to yourself, You should be avoiding attention.

A series of gasps went through the crowd around him.

"Are you serious?" Thomas asked.

"Okay, Exactly how tall was he?"

"He stuck his head over the Outer wall," Eren said with a shrug, Man what's the slop that he's eating? That looks gross.

"Whoa, Wait I heard he stepped over the wall completely,"

"So did I,"

"That was the rumor in my village too,"

"Well he was big but not that big," Eren said.

"So what did it look like?" Mina Carolina, a particularly attractive girl that could stand out in any crowd asked.

"He had a mouth like a corpse," Eren replied, "And he had no skin, Just muscles,"

"What about the Armored titan?"

"The one that broke through Wall Maria?"

"Is that what they're calling it? In all of the panic it was just another Titan to me," Eren said.

"No way, so what were they like?"

"Come on, That's enough questions you guys, I'm sure he'd rather not relive that horror again..." Marco was saying, This guy was wise and really respectful of other people's emotions, I am going to keep him in my squad once it's time.

"Sorry, We didn't mean to..." Connie was interrupted.

"It's not like that," Eren said and took a bite of his bread, "Those stupid Titans, They're really not that big a deal, If we focus on mastering the Omni-Directional Maneuvering gear and the mobility they give us, then it's Titan payback time, I've waited years to be trained as a Soldier and all of a sudden, Reality is sinking in... I'm joining the Scout regiment then I'm sending the Titans back to hell, I'm gonna butcher them all,"

"Hey, are you crazy or something?" Jean asked, "Not that it's my business but signing up for the Scout regiment is like a death sentence,"

"I guess we'll see, or I will, You seem content hiding in the interior with the Military Police," Eren shot back.

"Look, I'm just speaking honestly new kid, I think it's better than being some loud mouth, braggart, tough guy, wannabe pretending he's not as piss scared as the rest of us,"

Damn, How many names?

Eren stood up and glared at Jean.

"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Eren asked.

"Stop it, you guys," Marco said but they didn't listen.

"Alright sure, Makes no difference to me," Jean said and the two of them walked at each other.

I sighed, Do I really have to intervene? Why not just let everything play out the way it was?

I stood up and walked to the both of them.

"Calm yourselves," I said and sighed, "You're disturbing the rest of us quiet people that want to have dinner and leave,"

"Oh and look at who's talking, The one who was so very confident while looking at the Instructor, Like you were some kind of powerhouse," Jean said, "Look, You don't have the right to interfere,"

He looked at Eren and saw Eren's behavior drastically change, He was actually staring at me with fear.

"Aeron..." Eren said, "Look, I'm sorry,"

Everyone was shocked, One minute he was here talking about becoming a Titan slayer like Levi Ackerman and then next, He was shying away from the boy with black shoulder-length hair.

"First of all, Your name is Jean Kirstein right? It's none of your concern if Eren wants to make himself a holy Titan sacrifice, That's his life," I said while resting my head on my chin, "And you, Eren, You talk too much,"

My foot crashed down on his head sending his face smashing into the ground under the stunned eyes of everyone, The fact is they hadn't even seen me raise my leg up but here I was with my leg on his head.

"What a drag," I said.
