A different world (Levi x Reader)

And when you look down and are satisfied with what you look like, you make your way over to the other cadets who are already standing in line awaiting Shadis orders.

_________________________________________

Petra and you start looking for the other girls and after about 10 seconds, you spot them in the third row. You signal over to Petra to follow you over there and she gladly does. Next to Nanaba, there is still an empty spot, so you decide to stand next to her. You smile at her and she softly returns the gesture. Petra comes over to you and takes her spot to your right. You remain your composure and wait until the commander provides you with further instructions.

"CADETS!! As you know, this will be your last training for this year, at least here at these grounds. We will stick to the usual routines but this time I will be the one assigning your partners for todays hand to hand combat. I want you morons to reach your very limits until you can't physically move anymore. Pretend like this fight is life or death. Use the techniques you've learned and don't let your opponent beat you.... Fifty laps and then you'll get into the following pairs: Katrin Emmers and Tim Butler, Bertha Dinn and Johanna Glaus, Max Ernst and Falk Richards, Roland Becker and..."

You anxiously wait for him to say your name, your heart beating slightly faster than usual. You don't actually mind doing combat with someone else other than your "friends", it's just that you preferred practicing with someone you're rather close to. It just gives you more comfort. But then, in the end it's not about being comfortable but about showing what you are capable of. And you are determined to defeat anyone when it comes to being evaluated.

"Liliana Schaefer and Olou Bozado.", you hear Shadis say.

In that moment, you take back everything that you just said. Your mouth instantly drops to the floor and you shoot your head up to look at the instructor. It could have been anyone, literally. But Olou, really? You don't exactly hate him, but his personality just pisses you off. He's always acting like he's somehow superior to the others and he's constantly mocking the corporal. Ever since Captain Levi has been here, Olou started copying his way of speaking. But it's not only you who noticed it. Practically the entire cadet corps started seeing the resemblance. It's so annoying.

You quickly turn your head right to look at Petra and she's already staring at you, trying to hold in her laughter. She knows how much you dislike Olou because of the fact that you constantly complain to her about him. He, too often got assigned in groups with you, Petra, Eld and Gunther because of his skills. The others don't seem to be bothered as much by him as you but Petra also speaks up whenever she gets annoyed by him.

You roll your eyes and walk out of the line, just like other cadets who've already got an assigned partner. You drag your feet along the dirt floor and start running. 50 laps usually takes you about 10 to 15 minutes depending on how fast you aim to run. Today, you wanted to get a head start on the laps, so you slowly start to fasten your pace.

After about nine minutes, you are finally done with all laps and you bend down and hold yourself up by putting your hands on your thighs. Your lungs are desperately crying for air and your legs start to hurt as soon as you stop moving. You really overexerted yourself, but you didn't care. At least now you have a small break to catch your breath. You look around, trying to locate Olou and after some searching you find him in a small crowd of cadets, who are still running. You wait until he passes you to talk you him.

"Hey Olou, how many laps do you have left?", you shout after him.

"Oi, stop talking. You're distracting me.", he shouts back at you.
