Armin, Sasha, Connie, and Annie were leaning against the wall, waiting for the ceremony to start. Armin and Connie looked over at Sasha who was constantly scanning the area. Connie could've even sworn that she was growling. "Sasha, are you okay?" Armin asked. "Fine," Sasha answered rather rudely, not even looking at Armin.

Armin looked at her in confusion while Connie squeaked in surprise. Was she okay? Armin heard footsteps as he turned to see Jean walking towards them. "Jean, are you really planning to join the Survey Corps?" Armin asked. "Yeah," Jean answered. "Aren't you scared, man?" Connie asked, "This is the Survey Corps, why do you want to join now?"

"Of course I don't want to join the Survey Corps," Jean blatantly stated, causing Connie to look at him in confusion. "Th-then why?" Connie asked. "I'm not saying titans don't scare me anymore, or that best should join the Survey Corps," Jean explained, "I'm not eager to die like some."

"You mean Eren," Connie realized, "He joined the Survey Corps along with that Prime guy." Armin noticed Sasha twitching at the name. "Trainees, line up at the stage!" an authority announced, "The ceremony is about to start."

"I don't want to die or throw my life away needlessly, but I have to do something in order to make a change, or else no one else will." Jean proclaimed before walking away. Armin felt a hand on his shoulder and looked over to see Sasha giving a deleterious look.

"He's here," Sasha proclaimed, "Armin, he's here." 

"Sasha, what are you talking about?" Armin asked.

Sasha pointed past Armin, causing Armin to look over and widen his eyes in shock. Armin saw the back of Optimus' alt mode while the remainder was hiding behind a brick wall. Optimus' alt mode moved once again behind the brick wall, completely hidden from view, But he did not saw Akira.

'What's he doing here? and Where's Akira?' Armin thought.

Optimus' holo form hid behind a brick wall on the stage while observing the sight before him. Erwin was standing alone on the stage while he faced the remainder of the Trainee Corps.

'How will he find anyone of suspicion in a place like this?' Optimus thought. "I am Erwin Smith: Commander of the Survey Corps," Erwin introduced, "Today you will join a military branch. In short, I am here to persuade you to join the Survey Corps. After the Battle of Trost, you've seen how terrifying titans can be and how limited your power is, but that battle has led us closer to humanity's victory, through Eren Jaeger and Optimus Prime's existence and Akira Phoenix's existence. "

Optimus widened his eyes in shock. What does he think he's doing?

"They have both proven to be friends to humanity. And not have we found ways in advancing our weaponry and stop the Titan's advances, but we also have a way of discovering their true nature. In Eren's basement in the Zhiganshina district lies the secret to the titans."

'What in Primus' name is he doing?' Optimus thought. He can't just go and publicize this information. It could make the spy come after Eren even more. Optimus raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he noticed someone's eyes gleam with interest for a brief moment before returning to a neutral expression. Perhaps he wanted to lure the spy in.

"That still requires us to retake Wall Maria, so our objective hasn't changed. But with the Trost gate sealed, we will have to make our way to Wall Maria through the Karanes district. The trail made for a large army has gone to waste. Sixty percent lost their lives in the last four years; an insane figure. We are planning a expedition for the next month, and we are estimating that thirty percent will not return. Sixty percent will be gone in the next four years, but even with those distressing facts, are you willing to give your hearts up for the survival of humanity?"
