Just An Average Guy

Chapter 19

For what seemed like ages, in his time of being the carrier of the Beast Titan, Zeke had seen many horrible things. The wars he had fought in, the numerous innocent people he had murdered in the name of Marley, and the Eldians he had turned into Pure Titans, they all were just another piece of a bigger puzzle for his ultimate goal.

When he had arrived at Paradis, he was surprised to see how much the Eldians behind the Walls had advanced in terms of technology. Of course, they were less superior to Marley's, but still, being able to come up with a somewhat effective way to kill Titans was an impressive feat.

He had taught about what the Eldians could have done to improve their fighting chances, but never would have guessed they would take such drastic measures.

But now Zeke wasn't too sure what to think.

The person in front of him was unlike anything he had ever come across. The way he dressed, the way he talked, it all didn't add up. Was this man an Eldian, or was he something else? Either way, Zeke had lost somewhat of an advantage. His Titans were all dead, sprawled across destroyed buildings or scattered on the ground in front of him.

It somewhat angered him that the villagers he turned into Titans had been such a disappointment. This man had just singlehandedly taken out every single one of them.

And this really angered him.

"Saitama, was it?" Zeke asked the bald man who stood in front of him.

Zeke did not like this one bit. If war had taught him anything, it was to be on guard at all times. No matter how insignificant or weak an enemy seemed, if cornered, they are even more dangerous than one would think.

The aura this man gave off was menacing, and Zeke was finding it harder to keep his composure.

"Are you perhaps from outside these wretched Walls--ehhh?!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Zeke suddenly realized he was no longer taller than a building. Seconds passed and he realized that he was no longer in his Titan body; but had been forcefully removed from it. He felt a strong pair of hands tighten around the collar of his shirt, and realized he was now hovering several feet above the ground. Wide-eyed, he looked at his assailant.

How? Why? Why was he outside his Titan body?! Mere moments he still had the upper hand, and now he was at the mercy of this new arrival.

"You really need to shut up." Saitama said, his voice monotone, while his eyes pierced through Zeke's like a knife through butter. "I don't know what stunt you're pulling, but I've had it with you people running around and using this Titan mumbo jumbo to do whatever you want."

Zeke squirmed, trying to pry himself loose of this man's iron grip. "Let go of me, you imbecile! You don't know what you're up against!" He exclaimed. Reeling his arms back, he unleashed a barrage of punched onto Saitama's face. Each hit was meant to knock him out completely, but it just felt like he was punching solid bedrock.

"I'm taking you to people who know how to deal with guys like you. I'm just a delivery boy right now. And to be honest, I'm fine with that. As long as it means I don't have to deal with stuck-up assholes like you." He hunched Zeke over his shoulder and added. "Don't try anything funny. I know you people like to transform whenever you get the chance."

Zeke smirked slightly. If that were the case, then Saitama would know what comes next. Unlike Annie or Reiner, Zeke had experience with transforming more than once, or even twice in a short period of time.

Biting down on his hand, Zeke unleashed a large explosion, hoping to blow away his attacker and end his life in one swift move. He felt himself being wrapped in his Titan body, its nape slowly closing itself around him to completely seal him from any danger.
