49 AOT: It Was My Choice Chapter Forty Eight: A True Wise Man

"He's waking up," Petra's voice filled my ears as my eyes snapped open, revealing a white ceiling.

My eyes flickered a bit as I tried to remember where I was... or at least I was trying to fool them into thinking that. 

We were in the Scout Headquarters in the Trost district... The one I thought they had left behind but apparently it was still fully functional.

I sat up on the bed and looked at the people around my bed, There was Farlan, Hange, Petra, Oluo, Isabel and Levi... and then my hands instinctively went up, I struggled to get off the bed but it seemed they had enough foresight to cuff my legs to the bed.

"Aeron... Welcome back," Isabel said, her voice trying to sound as restrained as possible but how could one be restrained? Especially in a situation like this...

"Let me go!" I screamed out, my purple orbs locking on her blue eyes... sending shivers running through her spine.

"We want to ask you some questions," Isabel continued, pretending to be unfazed by my stare, "During the Boot Camp mission seven months ago, You were assigned on a group with Eren Jaeger, Wanda Rondo, Armin Arlert, Krista Lenz and Ymir umm I forgot her surname,"

She had a surname?

"Speaking of surnames, It's surprising that she doesn't have one," Farlan said, producing a list from his pocket, "This list contains everyone that entered Boot Camp seven months ago and well, She just placed Ymir there... I guess she doesn't have one,"

Ahh, another one of the plot holes that the Original AOT author placed in the book. Seems like these guys can't even find her surname.

How about Ymir Jaw? It has a nice ring to it.

Isabel cleared her throat and looked at me again.

"Well, During the last day of your excursion, You were reported missing having gone to the forest to scout for some other carriages... Of course, That's excusable since you didn't know there were no others Carriage in the distance but right after you left came a new report from a fleeing carriage... A bright golden bolt of thunder descended from the sky and struck the ground... But not only that was irregular, According to the reports, A primal roar vibrated the very surroundings of the forest," Isabel said.

Wow, These people really gathered a lot of information about that night.

"And seemingly after that, There was a rumble and blast of purple lightning once again and then you came back, with some scratches according to Krista Lenz and Eren Jaeger. They questioned you about what happened, and you replied that you were dealing with annoying people," Isabel said.

"After a complete deduction, A lot of these things can be traced back to you... For one, Purple lightning and those purple eyes that you have, They are matching... Second, the bolt of lightning," Isabel said.

How the hell can golden lightning be traced back to me?

"Of course there was a report of a stray streak of lightning that struck the field that was supposed to be used for the Aptitude test... and then there were other reports of lightning in the Trost district as well and in all of them, You seem to be in the center," Isabel said.

Once again, I had to congratulate them for gathering so much information... That was surreal but alas, A person like me doesn't do something without planning further for it.

"And let's not mention the exponential amount of strength that you possess, almost unnatural since according to Ex-Commander Keith Shadis, You lifted a bag with a single hand... So Aeron, please tell us the truth and you shall not be executed..."

What would Kira do in this situation? That was the worst kind of thing to think right now... A smile crossed my lips and Isabel grabbed my collar.

"You think it's funny!" She screamed out in a rage and smashed my head on the wooden head of the bed repeatedly, "You think it's funny to live with the possibility that one of us... not just any other Cadet but You... I used to know Anna and she was a good person at heart, You think I enjoy suspecting her Kid,"

The resounding smashes sent a chill down her spine as she looked to see the damage she had done and saw blood flowing down the edges of my closed lips, my purple eyes seemingly glowing but the smile, It was still there as insane as ever as I grabbed her hand.

"All of you... that suspect me are insane!" 

The very words seemed to send a shiver of fear down their very spines.

"I'm a young man with dreams..." I started and the blood dropped on the bed, something that seemed to be the least of our worries right now, "I was on my own, In a training camp with my Sisters... Why? My Mother... she died at the hands of a Titan, And then you say I'm a Titan? Do you really think I would want to be some sort of monstrosity??? I went to the Boot Camp to train and get stronger, I WANTED to become a part of the Scouting regiment determined to kill Titans and take back the peace... I spent two years mastering the ODM gear from a young age so I could do a lot with the Scouting regiment, As for my unnatural strength... I was just born that way, Is it a crime?"

Isabel's hands trembled as I pushed them off.

"Don't worry, Instead of having me on the Survey Corps... I'll just go to the Military Police Regiment, Do some work, relax and find a girl to settle down with in Wall Sina. How does that sound?" I asked, and carefully lifted my legs up revealing that they were not under binds any longer, "My assistance is no longer needed here, I don't want to join the Scouts anymore... Tell Erwin to trash my spot and give it to Eren or something like that,"

Under their watchful and shocked gaze, I walked to the door and opened it before slamming it shut behind me.

'Hah, They thought they were wise,'
