Never Always Alone

Confession

Year 850

2 years after joining the corps

The cadets were running while carrying heavy backs and Armin was the only one behind them.

Shadis: Pick up the pace! Run, you lead-footed laggards!

Shadis: What's your problem, Arlert? You are dragging your feet! Too heavy for you!? Maybe you would prefer I let you drop your gear!?

Armin: No...

Shadis: If this was a real mission, you would be eaten by now!

Armin: Damn it!

Reiner: Give it to me! 

He caught up to Armin and took his pack for him so that he could run faster to avoid losing marks and go to the fields.

Armin: Reiner?

Reiner: You are going to fail at this rate! We are being graded today!

Armin: But you will get points marked off too if you do that...

Reiner: Then make the grade without getting found out before I change my mind!

Reiner Braun—Dedicated in both mind and body, and well respected by his comrades.

Armin (in his mind): I refuse to be a burden, even if it costs my life!

He caught up to Reiner and took his pack and was catching up with the others despite the lack of stamina.

Armin Arlert—Though physically frail, his attitude in the classroom is extraordinary.

The next day, it was time to train to cut the nape of the wooden figures of the titans. Annie and Bertholdt managed to cut the nape quite deep, but Jean didn't manage to cut as deep as he wanted.

Annie Leonhardt—Her slice attacks are absolutely flawless, but her reclusive nature makes her a poor fit for team missions.

Bertholdt Hoover—He possesses remarkable potential, but lacks aggression.

Jean Kirschstein—Top class omnidirectional mobility. But his volatile personality tends to cause friction with others.

Jean was frustrated that he could not do as much as Annie and Bertholdt did and went off to find another dummy.

Jean: I cannot slice as good as these two! I will just have to find the titans before them! If anyone is going to get into the Military Police...It's going to be me!

Jean (in his mind): Finally, it's mine!

Connie: Thanks for your help, horseface!

Jean: What!?

Connie: Following you was a good idea!

He attempted to cut the nape, but someone else managed to cut it deep before he could even make a scratch on it.

Connie: Huh!?

Sasha: I did it!! Yes!!

Sasha Braus—She has unconventional good intuition, but also demonstrates poor teamwork as a result.

Connie Springer—He excels at executing quick turns, but is also a bit dim-witted.

It was Eren and Mikasa's turn to cut the dummies' nape. Both of the dummies were raised and Mikasa sliced the napes of both titans simultaneously. Eren also simultaneously did the same, but was faster like the speed of sound. His cuts were deeper than hers and the others which impressed Shadis. Sometimes his blades would even go deeper past the nape.He has the talent, speed and strength which possibly surpass an elite soldier.
