I'll love you forever [Levi Ackerman x male oc]

Chapter 2

Training was tough on me, the fact that i was skinny and malnourished meant I'm weaker than other cadets. I never gave up though and began to rise the ranks.

I was running with a huge pack on my bag through the woods, it was raining heavily and I could tell I was falling behind the group.

"Hey masky your not gonna last much longer." Said Oluo as he slowed down his run to the same pace as me, "you look like your about to topple over."

"Tsk. Im fine." I said as I continued running, my legs felt like jelly underneath me. He was right, I was going to topple over any second.

"You don't look it"

"Thanks for your concern but I'm fine." I said in a harsh tone.

"Suit yourself." Replied Oluo as he picked up his pace and returned to the group.

I was falling behind them, very quickly. It was so tough, then I remembered the vow I swore the day I joined the cadets,

"I will become stronger and join the scouts, to prove to anyone who looked down on me that I am not weak!"

I took a deep breath and quickened my pace of running. My legs felt like they were on fire but I didn't care, I had to prove that I am not weak.

It was time to try out my balance for odm gear, I felt self-conscious as I stepped up and got strapped in.

"What if I can't balance?" "What if I fuck it up and get sent home?" "What if I really am weak and just not cut out to be a solider?!"

I was pulled away from my thoughts when I was lifted up into the air. I panicked and fell forward, I put my hands out to catch my fall and ended up upside down with my hands on the floor.

I cursed at myself as I was lowered down, I was given a second chance to balance it and blew it once again.

"I've seen enough." Said the commandant as he began to walk to survey the next person

"Wait!" I shouted, "let me try again." I practically begged him.

He stared at me for a second before saying, "one try."

Once again I was hoisted up into the air, I could feel myself trembling. Was it from fear or anticipation? I wasn't sure.

The only thing I knew in that moment was "I need to balance this." I held my arms out and... stayed upright. I blinked a few times and stared at the floor shocked.

"I did it! I really did it!" I thought to myself, "I'm on my way to becoming a scout!"

~~~

I flew through the air cutting the napes of fake dummy titans along side my fellow cadets. It was surprisingly easy. As I rushed past the commandant I heard him mumbling to himself as he wrote something on a piece of paper.

"Ash Pearl. This cadet has come a long way since he first joined the cadets. He started off as the runt of the bunch, and had climbed his way to the top since. I believe he will become a fine soldier and one day become a veteran, and help lead humanity into the future."

"That was what he thinks of me?" I thought to myself as I continued flying through the sky. "Maybe I'm not weak?"

My confidence boosted as I rushed through the trees, I smiled to myself as I cut the nape of another dummy titan. "I'm really doing it, I'm really going to be a soldier! I can't wait for graduation!"

"The top 10 of the 95th cadet core will be announced now!" Came a booming voice washing over the crowd.
