Attack on Haikyuu

XIII

It was the next day and the sun is just starting to tear the sky. Both Nohebi and Fukurodani, alongside Tobio are preparing for their expedition.

While the owls are busy with their own stuff, Nohebi is hogging Tobio and asking him questions at the same time.

"Did you really transformed and blocked the hole in Trost district?" Daishō Suguru, Nohebi force's captain asked while inspecting him.

"Captain, you're weirding him out." Hiro Koji said as he pulls his captain away from Tobio.

"Hey hey hey, Daishō. Chill your ass down. We will start our expedition shortly so go to your horses." Kotarou said as he shoos the other captain away.

"Sorry about that, kid. They always like to pick fights, especially with the cats."

"If you meet Johzenji and their captain, you'll get a headache." Keiji said before handing Tobio his horse leash.

They left for the expedition when the paths were cleared. And at that time, Shouyou had just woken up.

"Maybe I should go train with Kenma." He said before standing up to prepare.

After preparing, he went to Nekoma's barracks. He knocked on the door, only to see their captain.

"Uh, hello.. sir? Is Kenma here?" Shouyou asked. Tetsuro smiled at him before shaking his head.

"I think he is at the training grounds. He went out early today. I thought he is training with Lev today as well." The captain said as he drinks his tea.

Shouyou thanked him before jogging his way towards the field seperating the central district of Wall Sina from Stohess.

When he arrived at the training grounds, he didn't saw any signs of the pudding head guy.

"Who are you looking for, Hinata?" A guy asked. Shouyou turns around to see Aoba Johsai's captain.

"Ah! Oikawa sir! I was looking for Kenma." He said. Torū hums in response before asking his vice captain.

"Sorry, Kenma hasn't been here yet. Maybe ask Futakuchi from Dateko force. He knows a lot about your fellow cadets." He said before patting Shouyou's head.

Shouyou nods before approaching the said guy, in hopes of finding Kenma.

Meanwhile, on the expedition team. Kotarou told them to form a protective circle around Tobio.

"Captain, I'll take Konoha with me alongside Koji." Keiji said as they wait for Kotarou's response.

"Alright, be careful." Their captain said before they went to their respective position.

He also signals Daishō to proceed to their third position. The only individuals left in the middle flank is Kotarou, Tobio, and bunch of Nohebi and Fukurodani cadets.

"Konoha, if you spot a mindless titan. Fire the red smoke signal. Yellow for abnormals." Keiji instructed as they look around the field.

It's not even minutes had past when their group spotted an abnormal titan.

Konoha fires the yellow smoke signal, high enough for the two groups to see.

Keiji grabs his swords and proceeds to damage the titan's ligaments, causing it to fall.

Konoha jumps and proceed to blind the titan while Koji delivers the killing blow.

On Daishō's team, some of his cadets are busy talking to each other. Not being able to see the threat that is approaching them from behind.

It was only noticed when they heard the footsteps growing louder and louder until it eventually reached them.

Daishō manages to dodge the abnormal titan's feet as he watches how his brave soldiers are facing the threat.

One of the cadet latches on to the titan's shoulder, trying to kill it. But to Daishō's surprise, it manages to use it's body to control the cadet, causing him to fall.

The other cadet latches on as well, and was close to the nape. When the titan instinctively covers it's nape.

"It's protecting its vital spot." Daishō mumbles to himself before firing a yellow smoke signal.

Keiji spotted it and decides to aid his group.

The titan then grabs on the cadets wire and slams him on to the ground. Daishō was shocked, but still follows the titan.

Keiji catches up to him and asked him if he was alright.

"What is that thing?" Konoha asked as he looks at the titan from the back.

"It's not an ordinary titan. It knows that the soldier will target its nape. And it covered its nape." Daishō explained. Keiji quickly got what he said and already had conclusions.

"It's not an abnormal titan. But it is a titan controlled by a human. Much like Kageyama and the colossal titan." He said as they watch where it was heading.

"It has a feminine appearance to it. So does that mean that this is a female titan?" Koji asked as he watches the titan's blonde locks.

"Yes. We need to warn the middle flank." Keiji said before firing a blue smoke signal which means danger.

The female titan finally notices the people following her. So he quickly made a turn as knock Keiji's group out of there horses.

Back on Kotarou's group. Tobio notices the signal and informed Kotarou about it.

The captain looks at the horizon to spot a titan running towards them.

"An abnormal one?" He asked before ordering everyone to head towards the forest.

Tobio looks at the titan, studying it's features. He does know that it was a female titan. Because he knows Marley has one and sent one to retrieve the founding titan.

The only question is, who and how did it found them?
