Sins of the Father V.2 [Aot x Male Reader]

CH 3: DISBANDING CEREMONY

"Today, you have completed your military training. I will now announce the ten among you who have obtained the top training results! Come forward if I call your name!"

"Number 10: Sasha Blouse!"

"Number 9: Connie Springer!"

"Number 8: Marco Bott!"

"Number 7: Jean Kirstein!"

"Number 6: Eren Jaeger!"

"Number 5: Annie Leonhart!"

"Number 4: Bertholdt Hoover!"

"Number 3: Reiner Braun!"

"Number 2: Mikasa Ackerman!"

"Number 1: Y/N L/N!"

"I finally made it..." Eren thought. "Next time, it's gonna be our turn. Next time, humans will devour the Titans!!"

"Now that you've completed your training, you have three choices. The Garrison, which reinforces the walls, thereby protecting all of the towns."

"The Survey Corps prepared to sacrifice their lives outside the walls by defying the titans in their domain."

"And lastly, the Military Police Brigade, which exercises control over the King's subjects and maintains order." Commander Shadis explained. "Of course, out of you raw recruits, the only ones who can join the Military Police Brigade are the ten with the highest scores. But as of right now, the 104th Training Corps is officially disbanded! Dismissed! Soon, I'll be asking which branch you want to be assigned to!"

"Yes, sir!"

After that, they all gathered in the hall to have their feast.

"Lucky bastards, making the top ten! I'm sure you're gonna join the MP, right?" Thomas asked.

"Huh? That goes without saying, why the hell would I have aimed to crack the top ten!?" Jean responded.

On the table with him were Connie, Marco, and Y/N who could give no concern about the upcoming dispute waiting to be sparked — Certainly, he was just there for the meal.

"I'm going with the MPs, too," Marco said. "Getting to work near The King... It's an honor!!"

Jean then smacked his head. "Are you still playing the goody-goody, Marco? Tell me how you really feel. You can't wait to get into the interior, right? We can finally escape this shitty, suffocating, front-line town! A safe, comfortable life is waiting for us in the interior, right!?" Jean's statement gathered some of the cadets' attention.

"Whaa... you..." Marco recoiled from embarrassment as he collected a number of gazes landed upon him from his co-cadets. H theme tried to defend himself "Sha-shame on you! At least, I'm not—"

"Oh, sorry! My bad! I forgot you were a prized pupil." Jean interjected. "But what would you guys do? I mean getting the chance to live in the interior. It's almost unheard of, right!? Or given the choice, would you rather stay here in this "Human Stronghold" or whatever they like to call it!?"

Everyone was now looking down trying to avoid his gaze. "Jean's on it again..." Connie mumbled to his other friend.

"Well... None of us asked to be born in this border town. So if it meant not having to cower in fright when you hear titan footsteps..." Said the one cadet.

"Good answer... You'd all like to go to the interior, right?" Jean asked again. He then faced Berthold and Annie." "What about you guys?"

"I'm applying to the MP Brigade," Berthold answered.
