3 Chapter 3

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.

Leo 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, soon Instructor Keith will doubt your true determination! Under the scorching sun, Without breaking formation, everyone stood for a full hour without moving.

After the instructor who claimed to be Keith Shadis said some opening remarks, he turned on the scolding mode for all those plants that were very tender at first sight, he will train the soldiers one by one and those who only come to look for new experiences are not worthy to be in the same place as the others.

Leo all heard from the instructor Shadis was: "We are going to be eaten by Titans!" But knowing part of the story, he doesn't think those words are in jest.His choice of vocabulary, the way he educates with just a few simple words is incredible.

When everyone thought this hell was over, Keith Shadis had no intention of stopping his speech, he continued to spray saliva wildly.... Oh, this welcoming rite is something essential for everyone, this time the next to be the subject of words was Armin, who followed in the long list this time.

Since the truth comes disguised with a hidden cloak, Leo interpreted that instructor Keith was shouting to everyone

Keith : "If you can't stand now, you can leave this place and live a few more years in peace and quiet. You won't even be cannon fodder for the titans, on the contrary, you only hinder the other recruits!

Keith looked at Armin with a grim face and roared fiercely,

Keith : "You there, who are you?"

Armin: "Sir!"

Armin's body trembled and he immediately made a military salute with his right hand on his left breast, and then answered loudly the next moment.

Armin : "I am Armin Arlert from Shiganshina, sir!"

Hearing that, Instructor Keith just scoffed and sneered,

Keith:"Is that so? Your name sounds stupid! Did your parents give it to you?"

Armin was a bit startled by Keith's fierce expression and replied in a cold sweat.

Armin: "It was my grandfather who chose that name for me, sir!"

Keith :"Tell me Arlert, why do you want to join us?"

Armin :"To help humanity win, sir!"

Instructor Keith said with great disdain.

Keith: "Really? That's wonderful, then you can became a good snack for titans!"

Keith: "Third squad! Half turn!"

Leo just watched all this in silence. Soon enough, it would be his turn to be scolded. Suddenly, 'he felt a vague memory of being scolded by the principal and teachers at school'.

Would he, an ordinary human from a world where until recently he considered titans to be more than fiction, be good enough to hunt down those giant, people-eating titans...? like Levi.What if in this world the protagonist doesn't emerge victory like others.This is hell in life, he couldn't depend on anyone but himself to keep him safe.

Without pausing for a moment, the water- sipping instructor Keith spat spittle in front of the recruits, walked aggressively toward the next yellow-haired, thick- browed boy named Thomas, who was the good friend he met recently and who slept in leo's upper bunk.

Keith: "And you, who the fuck are you?"

The yellow-haired boy with a submissive expression thumped his chest and saluted, replying somewhat nervously,

Thomas: "Se..sir! I'm Thomas Wagner from Trost, sir..."

Keith: "Say it louder!"

Thomas:"I am Thomas Wagner of Trost, sir..."

Keith: "I still can't hear you, come back and tell me who you are when I can talk like a man."

Not far away, another senior instructor like Keith and a young instructor from the training corps passed in front of the fourth squadron.

The silver-haired, bespectacled senior instructor chuckled and said to the young instructor a few steps behind him,

???:"There it is again, you had to go through this too when you enlisted in the corps, didn't you?"

The young instructor said with a blank stare

???: "That's right, sir.... It really is kind of nostalgic to witness it again."

Even now, he couldn't understand why instructor Keith Shadis was yelling at them all like that.

Keith: "Tell me now, who are you?"

???: "Carolina Mina of Karanes!"

Keith: "You're not! You were born in a pigsty and you're not even worth cattle!"

Mina: "Yes, sir! I was born in a pigsty and I'm not even worth cattle!"

Keith: "Here I'm the one who decides what you are and aren't!"

Mina: "Yes, sir."

Mina Carolina was a young woman of slender body and short stature. Her hair was black, voluminous, short, and she wore the ends tied by two light blue ribbons. Her eyes were gray, considerably large. she looked cute.

The young, blank-eyed instructor was also puzzled, when he was a training soldier, he had never received such intense scolding, so he asked:

???:"What's the point of scaring them like that, what does the instructor want to try?"

The silver-haired instructor smiled and said as he walked.

???: "This is a rite, it completely destroys the memories of what they once were and re-builds them as soldiers starting from scratch."

???: "It's a turning point for them..."

Keith: "Fourth Squad! Turn around!"

The young instructor was still a bit puzzled, when he saw Instructor Keith walk past some people, he didn't lecture them like he did the others.

???:"There are some people he doesn't say anything to..."

The silver-haired instructor turned his head to look at the recruits who were not lectured by the instructor and said.

???: "For those who have already gone through the rite, there is no need to say much. They have probably experienced hell two years ago, and their expressions are obviously different from those of other children. Very few are aware of the hell they will face later on, and for those who have already lived through that hell, they have nothing to hear from Keith. Well, come on, let's leave it at Keith."

After speaking, the silver-haired instructor and the young instructor walked to other, more secluded places.

And here, Instructor Keith walked up to a dark-haired boy and looked at him fiercely:

Keith: "What's your name?"

The boy is moderately tall, with a wiry but muscular build at the same time. With auburn hair color, he placed his right hand on his left breast and said calmly,

????: "I'm Jean Kirsteim from Trost!"

Seeing Jean's calm expression, the instructor asked,

Keith: "What are you doing here!"

His voice was so loud that Jean was startled when he was shouted at, but he quickly returned to normal and chuckled:

Jean :"My wish is to join the military police and live in the inner city."

He said with pride. tch, you are just making yourself fool Infront of Instructor Keith.

'Attack on Titan world' and 'peaceful life' doesn't coexist together. So what's point in living inside the wall.

If you are not strong,you will die.

All the trainers beside him looked with surprise at this boy who was confident that he was going to live in the inner city.

This young man is straightforward .

Keith: "Wow..."

Instructor Keith's face darkened and he said with a sneer,

Keith: "So you want to live in the inner city?"

jean: "Yes, sir!"

Jean Kirstein replied happily, thinking that the instructor in front of him agreed with his choice.

At this point Leo could only say that he was too naive!

Boom!

With a muffled sound, he was greeted by a headbutt from instructor Keith!

jean: "Woh!"

Jean fell to the ground clutching his nose in pain.

Instructor Keith just smiled coldly and said,

Keith: "Who told you to kneel, you'll never make it into the police regiment if it's that easy to knock me down."

Completely ignoring Jean sitting on the ground, Instructor Keith approached the next soldier-in-training.

Keith: "And who are you and what are you doing here?"

The boy had some freckles on his face and looked very honest and obedient, when Instructor Keith shouted at him, he suddenly became nervous.

????: "I'm Marco Bott from Jinae of the Rose Wall, sir, I came here so I could join the military police and be able to follow the King's orders!"

Keith: "Is that so?"

Instructor Keith narrowed his eyes, smiled sinisterly and said.

Keith: "That seems like a noble beginning, good boy."

Halfway through speaking, Instructor Keith's face suddenly came close to Marco's face, looking at him with a grim expression.

Keith: "But.... Always remember that the King does not want you by his side!"

Marco Bott's face turned pale, sweating profusely. Instructor Keith turned and walked away.

Time passed slowly, numerous recruits spoke in front of Keith and Leo as well as the others, had to wait until it was all over.

Soon, Instructor Keith approached a boy with short shaved hair and an almost bald head, and roared fiercely at him.

Keith: "What's your name boy!"

The thin, short boy was a little flustered, clenched his left fist tightly and pressed it against his right breast, and replied loudly.

???: "Connie Springer! Born in Ragako, on the south side of Rose's Wall, sir!"

"Twist!"

Connie's body was lifted with his head by Instructor Keith palms.

Connie naturally uttered a groan of pain.

Keith: "Listen to me very carefully Connie Springer, I thought I had been too clear! That salute you are making symbolizes that you unconditionally offer your heart to our King! Is your heart on the right side, by any chance?"

Leo thought It's a bit funny, but to be honest Connie and sasha are his favorite characters.'Then he decided that If they fall in danger, he will save them no matter what'.

"Boom... grunt!"

Speaking of Devil, she already started eating.

A crunching chewing sound suddenly came out, and Instructor Keith's face instantly turned ugly. He slowly turned his head and looked at the source of the sound. then he saw a girl.

She was with a reddish-brown hair in a ponytail, her big eyes only looked straight ahead and at that moment she was holding a steaming sweet potato in her mouth.

Eat and swallow like there was no one else! How shameless could Sasha be right now?

Instructor Keith finally dropped Connie who was drowning in his hands.

He approached fiercely, and a cold voice came out of his teeth

Keith: "Hey, you! What the hell are you doing?"

Sasha didn't seem to hear for a while, her eyes looked around and she kept shoving food into her mouth for fear that someone would take her precious food away.

Leo was speechless, along with the others' eyes widened in surprise.

Being ignored, the veins on Instructor Keith's bald forehead popped, he was filled with anger. He walked towards the girl with the ponytail and shouted fiercely at her:

Keith: "I'm talking to you scum! Who do you think you are?"

Sasha was slightly taken aback by Instructor Keith's sudden roar, she swallowed the mouthful of food in her mouth and made a military salute as she replied.

Sasha :"Sir, I'm Sasha Blouse from Dauper south of Rose Wall, sir."

Keith: "Sasha Blouse... what are you holding in your right hand?"

Sasha with a calm face, waiting for an answer that would leave him in no doubt of Sasha Blouse's mental state.

Sasha looked at Instructor Keith and answered matter-of-factly.

Sasha :"A steamed sweet potato, I found it a while ago in the kitchen, sir."

Keith: "In short, did you steal this, why...why are you eating it now?"

Sasha looked at Instructor Keith and said without hesitation.

Sasha : "If they're not eaten hot, they're worthless, sir. This was the best possible decision."

Well, maybe in Sasha's eyes, eating is more important.

leo is envy of her stupidity.

Instructor Keith looked at Sasha, his face as black as ink:

Keith: "That.... Beats me, why are you eating a potato?"

Sasha was stunned for a moment and, according to her own understanding, asked.

Sasha :"Are you asking why people generally eat steamed potatoes,sir?"

'ohhhohohohoohohoh'

Instructor Keith didn't speak with a gloomy face, many people around heard this strange dialogue scene and looked at Sasha curiously.

"Ah..." Sasha suddenly sighed, "suddenly realized", she made a great determination, split the steamed sweet potato in half and handed half of it to Instructor Keith.

This decision was something Sasha rarely made.

Sasha :"Here... I give you half."

Sasha's face showed sharp pain but she didn't back down from sharing her food.

Instructor Keith unconsciously took half of the steamed sweet potato, a little unable to keep up with Sasha's thoughts.

Keith: "The... Half?"

Bald Keith said unconsciously.

Sasha saw Instructor Keith take the steamed sweet potato and thought that he liked sweet potatoes too, and smiled a little stupidly for a moment.

Instructor Keith suddenly flashed a "fatherly" smile

Keith: "Sasha Blouse, right? All right! When you run after you finish here, you'll run until you drop dead! Besides, since you love food so much, you'll run out of dinner!"

If Leo think more about this scene, he will laugh so much that he will fall on the ground. So to ignore this leo started to think his favorite characters like Iron man, Naruto, kakashi,itachi, Rimuru etc by closing his eyes.

Ignoring Sasha with a shattered face, Instructor Keith approached Leo.

Keith:"Kid, Why are you closed your eyes? Are you sleeping here or You are daydreaming about beautiful girls. so Tell me something to please me so I won't kill you this instant!"

'HOLY FUCK'
