For the final time, Levi's delicate hands skimmed over yours as he wrapped up your hands for extra stability on your wrists.
„I don't get your stubbornness.", the elder grumbled before putting the last piece of medical tape in place. „If you didn't go absolutely berserk a couple of days ago we wouldn't have this problem.", he kept talking as you tensed under his tender touch. His black hair fanned over his face beautifully, casting tiny shadows over his smooth and pale skin, just like his delicate lashes did.
„Are you even listening?", he asked as you just nodded absentmindedly. „I know this is stressful and all, but your brother needs you, so just don't fuck this up, alright?", The raven haired captain just kept on speaking. „At the end of the day I don't give a damn whether or not you pass but just do it for your friends." you could tell he was getting angry but it didn't bother you. „I will pass.", you said as you gave him a cocky smile. Levi groaned in annoyance, as he stood up and let his fist meet your shoulder. Still being seated, you looked up at him, not losing your smile. „I'll show you I'm worth it."
Your captains eyes widened slightly as he heard you say that. Something in him trusted your words, he couldn't explain why, but he did.
„And I'll not go easy on you.", he responded.

The various ODM gear straps bit into your skin despite the uniform separating them. You flinched as the commander tightened your back straps without a warning, just giving you a nod. „Levi told me about the little incident, don't mess this up again.", the blonde warned as he nodded into the direction of the training course. „I won't disappoint again, commander.", you said with a stern and strong voice. „3 fake Titans, Levi will put some more obstacles in your way. I'll be waiting on the other side; beat the captain in velocity and you'll pass. Understood?", the commander asked as he tried to read your expression. You nodded, giving the tall man a firm salute, before turning away towards the training course.

This is it. , you thought as you latched your fingers into the cable triggers and shot them into the nearest tree. Adrenaline immediately surged through your body as your hair got swept out of your face by the wind that blew towards you. The feeling of the force of the thick cables pulling you by the hips delighted you. The feeling of straps digging into every bit of your skin soon got replaced by the feeling of being absolutely weightless. Every time your eyes got caught by the morning sun, energy flew through you. The first cut was clean as the faux titan's nape went to the ground smoothly. In one swift motion you let the dull blades fall after your second titan.
For a second you rested on a nearby tree branch, scanning your surroundings carefully. As you shot the grapple hooks into a tree near the third titan, the sound of rope being cut made you snap your head to the side. A big log of wood swung towards your side. Cussing, you turned off the gas , making you plummet towards the ground, having the log miss you by a millisecond. The approaching ground made your heart beat faster and faster as you kept fumbling with the buttons, trying to trigger the gas. Your heels scratched the cold soil lining the wood floor before you finally shot yourself high into the air again. Having dodged not one but two almost deaths, you finally noticed how serious your situation really was; training wasn't all fun and games anymore.
Levi was a good 10 meters in front of you as you noticed him prepare the next trap. Just a second before you could reach the titan, you equipped yourself with new sharp blades before a net plummeted down over you. Am I a titan now or what, you huffed in annoyance as you swung your swords around, shredding the net and finally cutting the third titan's nape. Now all that was left was beating your captain's deadly speed. „And I'll not go easy on you.", Your captain's words echoed in your mind. The edge of the forest wasn't far but your captain wasn't either. You latched both hands onto the triggers, shooting the grapple hooks far away and searing through the cold morning air in a neck breaking speed.
No matter how many times you triggered the gas, you couldn't reach your superior even thought he wasn't even far from you. As your gas sputtered out his last remains and the bright sun stung your eyes as there were less and less trees blocking it away, you knew what you were about to do was risky, but with all your strength you pushed forward, swinging your legs around the small man's torso, catching him off guard. Tightly hugging your captain's body, the two of you slowly sunk down while still searing through the air.
Your lungs burned in exertion, as you swung above the captain, hooking your boots onto his waist then one on his shoulder. For a split second, the captain stopped struggling against your grasp, you hauled yourself into the air over the captains head. For the last time that day, you shot your grapple hooks onto the ground near the commander. Your body flew through the air, weightlessly but pulled by the strong force of the cables pulling it forward.
The sun shone brightly as you turned back to Levi, seeing his wide eyed expression as you closed your eyes and hit the ground.
