Side Note: I'll be calling Bertholdt as Bert from now on. It'd be a nickname he uses but I also don't want to have to keep checking the spelling of his name.

Mikasa was jolted awake by Eld shakily knocking on her bedroom door and calling out that the rest of them would be leaving first. Mikasa glanced outside the window, frowning as morning was among them. Grabbing her able and taking big and quick bites while she got clean clothes out. Throwing the apple in her bedroom bin before she chugged down her cup of water. Grabbing a towel, hearing the castle doors bang shut and fuelling her to rush down to the shared bathroom on the floor.
Having a quick shower and cutting time down by putting soap in her hair and body right after the other before rinsing it all off at once. Normally she'd like to take her time and really clean herself but she was a in a rush.
Heading back to her room and getting dressed before heading out to her horse and riding back towards the camp. She grabbed her cape from the stables once she had Storm sorted inside and hurried of to the breakfast hall.
"Mikasa!"
She turned and found Armin waving at her, a bright smile on his lips but clear concern in his eyes. She gave a nod, heading towards the table where her friends and their friends had sat at. Thankfully they sat more at the end making her not have to wiggle in or draw much attention by making the whole line of a bench shuffle down. She gave a glare over her shoulder towards the amused shorter captain who clearly allowed her to lay in as late as she did.
"Is everything all right? You didn't turn up yesterday and we didn't see you during dinner either" Armin asked with concern as he slid closer to Eren leaving space for Mikasa to sit down.
"Chores, the group I was given to for the day ended up being behind on their own making it a lot to do. I'll join you all for today, I have no groups to help out and a day long of training would be nice. Even if it's beginners for you lot, just let me go grab a tray of breakfast" Mikasa replied, her face straight and unreadable while Armin gave a happy nod.
"Urg mikasa, your making us sound even lamer by calling our training as beginners" Eren groaned out, poking at his porridge while Mikasa walked away to get her own tray of breakfast.
"She's not wrong, we are beginners technically. This week is us learning our training schedule, teaching us the needed skills within the survey corps and testing us. We're fresh cadets, it normal to be seen as beginners level since we are. Next month, we'll be on equal footing with most soldiers in camp but for now, we're the newbies who need to be taught the right lessons" Jean mumbled back with a slight shrug as he started to peal his banana now he's finished his own porridge.
"But still, it sounds embarrassing. I know we need to be retaught everything and learn over titans on a Survey corps level but still, I feel like it's our first week in school all over again. We're the fresh meat and we'll stay as fresh meat until our first expedition. We just have to show off during our classes and training this week to show we're not weak at least" Reiner replied with a sigh, glancing to Jean who gave an understanding nod.
"Well, at least we can spend the day with Mikasa and she might even teach us a few tips" Marco smiled sweetly, the rest thinking over it.
"Maybe or maybe she'd end up laughing at us as we train and learn everything that she already knows" Bert commented as his nerves were kicking in all over again.
"Mikasa is strong and she holds an Alpha air to her but she doesn't look down on others. She's never had, she acts as if we're equals from the start. Even when she and Annie didn't get along, they both held a respect for the other" Ymir replied with a frown as Bert gave an apologetic look.
"Mikasa is rather strong and she was always really good in physical training. She may seem scary and she dose spook me out sometimes but she's a rather nice person in my eyes. She looks out for everyone in her own way and she helps us all out if she can. She must just be people shy or one who doesn't show her emotions on the outside making us how to see her reactions on the inside" Christa smiled like an angel as she held her cup in hand and glanced to her friends around the table.
"Mikasa is a good person, just on t he shy side. I agree on that. She might seem dangerous and on a different level but that's just because we judge her before knowing her better. I believe Mikasa is one of our greatest friends" Sasha smiled brightly, reaching out to steel Connie apple.
"Your only saying that because she used to give up her bread to you" Connie joked back as he slapped the girl hand away from his apple.
Mikasa soon returned, sliding on the corner spot beside Armin and giving a greeting nod to the rest now she could give her full attention. The rest falling into a friendly chatter, a bit of banter being thrown about while Mikasa ate away.
Eren rolling his eyes as Mikasa went to hand over her banana towards Sasha making him reach out and grab it first. Saying something to Connie who swapped the banana for his own apple before Eren passed the apple to Mikasa. The other's not saying a word and just watched the whole thing surprised before turning as Mikasa contently ate her apple without a single word.
"Are you going to join us for the whole day?" Armin asked hopeful as he turned his head towards Mikasa who silently nodded earning her friend smile to brighten at the answer.
