Review 

During Cadet years

They went out of their dorms after wearing their cloak for a stroll. They have been walking for a few minutes with Bertholdt, Reiner in the front and Armin, Eren walking behind them in the forest.

Bertholdt: They are mostly here for show to live up to society's expectations. You are seen as a coward if you choose production work when you turn twelve.

Bertholdt: Society has pushed them into becoming cadets. That said, I am no different than them.

Bertholdt: I chose to be a soldier in hopes of joining the Military Police so I could work in safety in the interior. If that does not work out, I might give up entirely.

Bertholdt: I do not have any will to call my own, you see.

Armin: Cherishing your life is admirable too, you know.

Reiner: As for me, I am going back to the hometown we lost. That is all I care about now. I will do it, no matter what.

Bertholdt: Eren, what about you?

Eren: Huh?

Bertholdt: Why do you want to be a soldier?

He looked down facing the ground, and had flashbacks of his mother being eaten. He then looked back up at Bertholdt with hatred and revenge in his eyes.

Eren: I...I have decided to kill them. I have to slaughter all the Titans with my own two hands.

Reiner: So your encounter with the Titans did not break your will?

Eren: That is right. But now it is a question of whether or not I am actually cut out to be a soldier.

They continued walking until they reached the edge and the cloudless night began to clear. As the clouds clear, the moon was shining brightly that they could see the lake, the forest, and everything else below them.

Reiner: Start over from scratch, starting with your belt adjustment. You will do just fine tomorrow. I am certain of it. Eren Jaeger, was it?

Eren: Yes. Thank you. Reiner Braun, right?

Present

After he opened his eyes, his sadness was immediately replaced with anger and hatred towards them. He then bit his hand and transformed into a Titan bursting the Armored Titan's hand off.

Eren: YOU DAMN TRAITOOOOORS!

Review Ends

He roared in anger as his eyes glowed a very bright green and swung his fist very hard at the Armord Titan's face. His knuckle pressed the Armored Titan's face against the wall and used him as a platform to jump away from him. The Armored Titan fell on his butt while Eren scratched his hand and foot against the wall slowing down his fall and landed safely. 

Mikasa: EREH!

She looked at where Eren and the Armored Titan crashed as the smoke was still blocking her from seeing them. She looked up to see the Colossal Titan and gritted her teeth as he was facing off the other Scouts and thought of what she could have done back then.

Mikasa (in his mind): If only...If only I managed to cut off their heads! That was the perfect chance! I should have been able to do it, so why...Tch! That was it. There will not be another chance!

Mikasa: EREH! ARE YOU OKAY!?

She smiled in relief as her lover gave a good hand sign and was in his stance ready to fight the Armored Titan.
