World at War

Calm before the Storm

Eren slammed Reiner who had just charged at him with a wooden knife

"Sorry, I'm not good at holding back" Eren said, holding out a hand as Reiner got back onto his feet and held the knife out to the brunette

"Now it's your turn to be the bad guy" he said as Eren silently grabbed the knife, but Reiner could see something was bothering Eren "What's wrong?"

"I don't get this training. Why would soldiers fight other people? Only someone stupid would decide to take on an opponent barehanded"

Before Reiner could even respond, his attention was drawn towards a crowd chanting the words 'fight' as both Tim and Jason were facing each other

"What the hell are you all doing standing around?!" Keith's voice boomed as a brave cadet not thinking about any consequences, stepped forward and answered

"Sir, Jason and Tim have never been seen fighting each other, they are always paired up with Mikasa or Annie. So we were just wondering who would win between them"

Keith was silent for a moment, looking at the two mentioned boys and nodded "You two" he said as Jason and Tim turned to face him "You're both sparing one another. Don't hold back"

At this, both former Robins turned to each other with a competitive expression on their face. It's been a while since they last spared with one another and both had been itching for a challenge

"What's the rules Baby Bird" Jason called out, stretching his arms as Tim did the same

"First one to get the other on the ground wins" Tim decided as Jason agreed with the rules

The cadets all eagerly made space and watched as the two circled around each other. Suddenly Jason decided on making the first move, knowing Tim wouldn't be doing so anytime soon

Tim dodged the incoming punch and went to strike, only for Jason to block his attack and push him back

The younger teen wasted no time in counterattacking as he tried to sweep Jason's legs, but the older saw this coming and back flipped away

Tim used this opportunity to try and surprise him, but Jason was able to grab him and hold him in a chock lock

"I thought Keith said not to hold back?" Jason whispered as Tim gave a sly smile

"Who says I am?" was all he said as he head butted and twisted out of Jason's hold, moving slightly away. The older teen playfully shook his head and smirked as he charged

Everyone could only stare in awe. These two were in a completely different league from everyone else. Eren had to admit, they might even be better than both Annie and Mikasa, two of the best female fighters

Graduation Day
"You have three options after you graduate from the Trainee Corps today!  The Garrisons, which reinforce the Wall and protect each city! The Survey Corps, which risks life and limb to venture into Titan territory outside the Walls! And the Military Police, which serves under the king by policing the people and preserving order! Of course, the only ones allowed to join the Military Police are the top ten trainees. However due to having two trainees score the same, we had to take a look at their grades"

The top ten stood side-by-side in the order of their ranking: Mikasa, Tim, Jason, Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, Eren, Jean, Marco and Connie

'We've finally made it here. Now it's our turn to devour the Titans!' Eren thought

"Yes! I'm gonna be in the Military Police!" Connie said with a grin as Sasha was seen looking sad at not having gotten into the top ten and complained about how she would not have had to worry about food if she had placed in the top ten
