Just An Average Guy

Chapter 3

Eren let out a yawn as he looked at the scene in front of him, the former Survey Corp's HQ coming into sight. Looking to his left, he saw Captain Levi stare at him with that neutral expression of his. Shuddering, he turned to face the caped baldy, only to see him staring at him with an equal neutral expression of his own. Eren truly wondered if everything he had heard was true. Had this guy seriously punched two Titans over Wall Rose? He saw him literally chop Captain Levi into the floor, but still... was he really able to do such a thing? If so, then he would like to have a long talk with him.

Saitama, the man with incredible strength. He came out of nowhere and just got accepted into the Survey Corps by Commander Erwin. Eren had to train four years to even become a soldier for humanity, but this Saitama was accepted in the ranks like it was nothing. This angered Eren. Like hell Saitama had trained as hard as he had done in his years in the 104th.

Eren gritted his teeth in anger and frustration. He watched as Saitama shifted uncomfortably on his horse, constantly muttering words Eren did could not make out. Saitama might be strong, yes. But he was strong too. Eren Yeager, the cadet who was eaten by a Titan and returned from the dead, transformed into the enemy he hated the most.

"Damn, this is uncomfortable," Saitama muttered as dismounted his horse. "I'll just run."

Eren's eyes widened as Saitama suddenly disappeared off his horse, leaving a long trail of gust behind as he almost knocked over several Survey Corps members off their horses. "How did he?" Eren asked, turning to face a female Survey Corps member. "Did you see that?" he asked.

The woman, as shocked as Eren was, blinked a few times before turning to face the young teen. "To be honest with you, I have no idea," she replied. "Captain, what do you think? I mean, you've seen and got a personal display of his power," she said, turning to face her Captain as she cringed, remembering what Hanji had told her about Levi's beating by Saitama. Well, it was more like a KO than a beating.

"I don't know what to think of him, Petra," Levi replied. "The things I have seen him do are beyond my imagination. He punched two Titans over Wall Rose, and reports have been rolling in about him punching even more Titans to smithereens," he said, looking back at her. "The way I see it, we better stay friendly to him." he said, wincing slightly as he looked at his right shoulder.

"Amazing," Petra said, looking off into the far distance as she saw the HQ becoming bigger and bigger, indicating they had almost reached their destination. "I wonder whose team he's going to be on," she mused to herself. "I wouldn't be surprised if he'd get assigned to our squad," she said, looking at her Captain. "Though you have to make the call."

"I already did, Petra," Levi replied. "Mike and Hanji have also requested he'd be put under their command."

"So, it's like a competition," Petra remarked, turning her gaze to Eld and Gunther. "What do you guys think?" she asked, getting their attention.

"A guy who can kill Titans with just one punch, sounds pretty far-fetched if you ask me," Eld commented. "Although his speed is remarkable. So, there may be some truth to the stories. But I want to see things first hand before coming to conclusions."

"Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Eld," Gunther added. "Someone who can kill Titans by just punching them just sounds stupid. I want to see it happen with my own eyes."

Petra stared at the sight in front of her, looking at the former HQ and taking it all in. Her thoughts drifted off to Saitama once more. She truly wondered how a single human being was able to punch two Titans over the wall. This man, Saitama... If Levi would allow it, she would definitely like to have a talk with the Caped Baldy.
