Eren POV:

ABG- 10:02: Morning. Training for the U14- U17s class will be 7-9pm every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. There will be open sparring sessions every Sunday at 11am. Do not reply to this text, it's a business number. Remember to wear and bring appropriate equipment. Thanks, Petra R

Wow, that was quick

It's only been a few days since the big event and they've already finished the gym

The next session is today, Wednesday

I wonder what it'll be like

7pm:

Levi told all of us to stand in a line against the wall

We did as we were told and noticed that he'd changed his personality to laid back and cold to determined and harsh

Levi: "Right maggots. People who ranked 5th and below, go with Coach Pyxis and his son. That should be half of you. You guys are going to be perfected for the next month"

Levi: "If I call your name stay here. I have special training for you guys. If your name isn't called go with Coach Kenny and Rod"

I zoned out as he was calling names until I heard

Levi: "And finally, Eren Jaeger. That means 6 of you will be with me and 10 with Kenny and Rod"

The others walked off to Kenny and Rod, two men who looked so different it was unbelievable

Rod Reiss, as his name tag said, was 5'2, balding and chubby. With a patchy moustache. He looked to be in his late 40s. Is this guy related to Historia? Reiss isn't a popular surname

Kenny Ackerman was 6'3, broad, muscular and had vast amounts of hair with a well groomed goatee and chinstrap. Although he was in good shape, his face dictated he was probably in his mid-late 50s. He's clearly related to Levi, the only things that argue otherwise are Levi's lack of both height and a beard

Levi: "Tch, brats. Stop standing by the wall like deers caught in headlights. Let's go, urgency"

We all walked over, terrified

Levi: "You runts are the most capable in our opinion. We all assessed you based on your records and fight videos. If you scored over 80 on our combined competency test, you'd be in this group"

Levi: "That means that you guys will undergo 4 months of reshaping training. The others will go through 6-9. I know it's impractical but some of you will have to let go of your titles. It'll be worth it though. If you don't want to do that, the door is over there"

He pointed in the direction of the door, all of us followed his hand with or eyes and saw that a few of the others were kicking up a fuss and left, none of us did though

Levi: "Looks like I've got all the grafters. Good"

Levi: "What we aim to do in this gym is take it all the way back to step 1. We're going to perfect the basics before we move on. You guys will be fighting in June, you won't be taking part in the championships though"

Levi: "If you have a specific style now, keep it but be prepared for it to be broken down, changed or improved"

Levi: "Right, we're going to go and head to the gym. The base to a good boxer is: 1) Strength & Conditioning, 2) Technique and 3) Durability. You will learn the basics of these before delving deeper into them"

We all followed Levi through the double doors, leaving Kenny and Rod's group in the sparring room. Clearly they're learning about durability

We then walk into the boxing room, dozens of bags litter the walls, uppercut bags, speed bags, heavy bags, water filled bags
