Sixth Chapter : Reminisce

[ six years ago ]

-So, this part happened around the 104th Training Corps scene.

"You? Who the hell are you?!" I swallowed the remaining saliva on my throat.



God knows how nervous I am right now, does this man have to speak like this? He's so scary!



After all, He's Keith Shadis. The terror head instructor of the 104th Training Corps.



I placed my fisted hand on the left side of my chest and saluted.



"I am Y/N Asterhawk, from the District of Trost in Wall Rose, sir!" I tried my best to mimic other soldier's voice and hopefully, I did it right.



"Asterhawk, why the hell are you here?!" I gulped again. Lord, why does he have to act like this?



Holy fuck.



"To help save the Humanity, Sir!" I'm really hoping that my answer passed.



"And where the hell did your confidence came from?!" Uhm, can I talk sarcastic for a minute? This man is getting in my nerves.



Should I answer him honestly? Or should I make an excuse?



But . . . this is my dream. I don't want to let it go from my grasp anymore. So I have to answer truthfully to earn their trust.



"From my parents who were mercilessly killed by the Titans, sir!" The whole field fell into a deep silence.



The head intructor scoffed, "With that frail body of yours, you think you can fulfill your parents will?" What will? My parents never left me anything though.



After that, he left me there, with a face of confusion.

"I wonder how tired is she by now?" Jean asked, looking at the recruit named Sasha, running in the field for a little too long now. Almost all of us, the cadets, were watching her.



"Me three. She's been running for five hours," Connie agreed.



I nodded, "Yeah, but earlier, she looked even more afraid on hearing that she won't have food for a week than having run the field 'til she drop." I told them while watching the pitiful girl run.



Earlier, we were introduced to each other that's why I already know their names.
