850, at the age of 21 for me, was year we would graduate.

We were running through a forest while it was raining. We were in our uniforms with the cape on along with our equipment and a backpack. The commander was riding around on a horse, ordering us to keep moving. Armin was falling behind.

I slowed down enough that I was next to Armin, then I took his bag for him.

"Focus on keeping up." I said. "We're being graded on this."

"But won't they take away from your score for helping?" Armin asked.

"If they find out, but I cant really let my brother's friend fall behind." I answered. I caught up with the others, then Armin's bag was taken from me and Armin ran ahead. I just smiled and kept going.

Days later, we were in the same forest. The ground had dried up after the rain. We were practicing attacking titans and using our movement gear, trying to make sure we get deep enough on the cut on the neck to that it'd actually kill them.

It was a battle to see who could get to the fake titans first. I was the second in the ODM class. Jean was first. I somehow managed to find ones that others couldnt find.

Honestly, the movement gear was amazing. Being able to fling from place to place in an instant without too many restrictions. It was like pure freedom.

Mikasa was amazing with everything pretty much. Eren struggled a little getting the cuts deep enough. Armin was doing pretty great as well. I, on the other hand, was about as good as Mikasa. She was still better, though.

Later it was hand to hand combat practice. I was up against Mikasa. She always managed to put my ass in the dirt. I always tried to push myself to beat her. Fighting Mikasa was a good way to try and get better.

We had stopped for a minute and ended up watching Annie put Eren's ass in the dirt. I wanted to fight her for hurting my brother, but that wouldn't help him much. Before the person Eren was set to be against fought Annie, she slammed my brother down with his heels over his head and his ass in the air. When the other guy attacked, Annie did the same to him that she did to Eren.

"Wow she's good..." I muttered. Mikasa slapped me on the back of the head.

"Pay attention to the fight." She said. I nodded and focused on the fight again.

At dinner, Armin was trying to talk to Eren about ODM experts. Eren seemed more focused on what Jean was saying, which was how to conserve fuel for the ODM stuff or whatever.

Finally, Eren spoke up.

"Listen to you guys." Eren said. "Interior. Five years ago, this was part of it."

"You got a point to make?" Jean asked. "I'm right here."

"Dont do it, Eren." I said.

"Poor Jean. So misguided. And besides, I dont think your head will fit in the interior anyway." Eren continued. I laughed softly along with a few others.

"Very funny." Jean said.

"Seems a little backwards to me. Fine tuning your titan killing skills so the brass will station you somewhere you'll never see one." Eren continued.

"You'd rather I was good at getting killed? Thank you but I'll pass. Better to play the system than get nawed on." ((How the fuck do I spell that-))

"You son of a bitch." Eren said, standing up.

"Damn it, Eren, stop picking fights." I said.

"Bring it on, you little bastard!" Jean stood as well.
