Freedoms Cost (Captain Levi)

The Blood Master

Erwin stood up and walked out of his office.

"Sir!" A solder said, saluting him, who stood guard outside his office.

I can't give them all a trial now but I can give one a trial to see if his good enough, if Levi was correct about one of them then its likely he is correct about the others.

Erwin told her before walking in the opposite direction "Get Oluo Bozado to come to my office"

She hurried away after saluting.

Erwin followed his senses, soon he was where he wanted to be.

Hange was talking to her squad when she noticed Erwin.

She saluted him as did her squad.

"I'd like to borrow you for a moment" He said.

She nodded, smiling at him as she followed him into one of the corridors.

"You busy at dusk?" Erwin asked.

"No?" Hange said, raising her eyebrows at him.

Erwin sighed "Levi has finally chosen a squad"

Hange clapped her hands together grinning "Thats good!" Then she stopped noticing Erwin's expression "Or...not?"

"I'm not sure yet. Though the mission I'll be signing them up for will decide and your feedback" Erwin replied.

Hange raised her eyebrows at Erwin "You want me to spy on them?"

"I want you to see how the solder and Levi work as a team and if the solder is good enough to be able to keep up with us. If it works and Levi's judgement is correct its likely his judgement of the other solders he picked is correct as well and I won't be sending new recruits to their deaths just yet" Erwin said evenly.

Hange's eyes widened "New recruits?-"

"Levi picked three trainees and one newish solder for his squad" Erwin said, giving Hange a look as if to say, now what do you think I do with that?

Hange stared at him for a few seconds trying to process what he'd said "Wait, Levi what?"

"Thats what I thought" Erwin said.

Hange looked at Erwin, her expression narrowing slightly as she said sounding suspicious "And...where exactly are you sending them?"

Erwin looked away as he said "The Norway Bridge"

Hange let out a gasp "Erwin, isn't that a bit hars-?!"

"If the solder Levi picked can't keep up with you or Levi he dies, simple as that. I'm not risking three other recruits that could get killed easily if thats the case" Erwin said.

"Or you just don't like the fact Levi hasn't chosen any of the solders you suggested and you want to prove him wrong in one of the most horriblies ways possible" Hange said critically looking at Erwin.

Erwin's eyes narrowed "You don't know that"

"Ah, yes but..." Hange poked him in the chest, wagging her finger at him "I know you"

Erwin smiled slightly "I suppose you do"

"Who's the guy you may be sending to his death then?" Hange asked, like they were talking about the weather.

"Oluo Bozado, his 19 years old, going on 20 soon. Very skilled in Combat according to Levi. He has worked with Levi once before, so that'll work in his favour" Erwin replied easily.

"And I suppose its my job to make sure he doesn't get killed and to prove Levi can actually have good judgement picking his squad right? huh, well works for me" Hange said brightly though with a little bit of sarcasm.
