The Strongest |Female Gojo x Levi Ackerman|

Chapter 4

Everyone's eyes are on me. My voice is exceptionally loud. "What are you doing?" Ezra angrily whispers. I ignore him. "I object to Nile Dok's statement about personal feelings. Sure, both of them killed humans as self defense. But given their age and their situation, I'm sure you'd do the same." I narrow my eyes at Nile, who gives me a glare back.

"Eren Jaeger shouldn't be executed." The priest retorts, "And what if he turns into a titan? We can't trust that!"

"If he does, I will risk my life to stop that. We can't control something we don't understand. So it's just going to take some trial and error, just leave it for the survey corps to handle," I say casually. "And even if you do decide to execute him, I will be on Jaeger's side," I finish with a cold look towards the military police. The priest banged his fist on the side rail. "Who in the walls are you? To think you're strong enough to stop Eren Jaeger, the titan!" I slyly smirk. "I'm Azura Gojo. Also known as Pride, the military police's worst nightmare," I say, while taking off my sunglasses. My eyes pierce straight at Nile's. Nile Dok's face is priceless. "Y-yes indeed, it is her. I've seen those wretched eyes before. No one is more deadly than her." "Are you fearing a woman, Nile? Maybe we should execute her aswell?" The merchant dog barks. Ezra looks quite mad right now. I will have to reassure him later. Now people should be wondering, what a criminal is doing in the survey corps. But before anyone can question--

"No!" Yells Eren with a clank of his metal cuffs against the pole. "You are wrong. I mean, you're simply coming up with theories that fit whatever it suits you to think. Besides, all of you people... You've never even seen a titan! What are you so afraid of? What is the point of those with power and means donot fight?" Eren states with pauses while his anger hidden inside, slowly shows. He's hesitant but decides to speak his mind anyway. "If you're afraid to fight for survival, then help me!

You cowards!"

I smile internally, quite proudly. This boy is worth saving. "Just shut up! And bet everything you have on me!" He silences them. A brief moment of silence passes before Nile asks to get the weapons ready. A guy aims his rifle at Eren. Eren's eyes widen at the gun. No longer than that though, he's kicked in the face by... Shorty? Now this is a peculiar scene. A tooth falls from Eren's mouth. Shorty grabs Eren's collar and jabs him in the face again, with his knee. Everyone, specifically the military police watch Eren getting thrashed with their mouth agape. I hear a "wait, Mikasa!" Must be that blonde guy next to me. Is Mikasa getting angry? Of course she would. Eren's face is soaked with blood as Shorty shoves his foot on his head and he speaks in his grumpy voice.

"This is a personal opinion. But i believe pain is the best way to train someone. What you need is to be trained like a dog, not a man." I scrunch my face a bit. Does he really have to be that strict? "It's easier to kick while you're kneeling too." That just sounds.. off. He kicks Eren six more times before Nile runs his foul mouth once again. "Wait, Levi." His eyes show fear of some sort. He's scared of everything. "What is it?" Shorty asks boredly, taking his foot off Eren's face. "That's dangerous. What if he gets angry and turns into a Titan? This has already been expressed before. You're just triggering it, are you?" Eren looks up and shorty kicks him again.

"What are you saying?" Shorty says as he grabs Eren's hair. "Aren't you going to dissect him?" The military police have no comebacks for this one. He continues, "when he turned into a titan last time, he killed twenty other titans before collapsing. If he is an enemy, his intelligence makes him a more formidable foe. Still no match for me, though." What a proud guy.

"But what will you do? Anyone persecuting him should consider that fact. Do you really think you can kill him?" Blondie Smith raises his hand. "Sir, I have a proposal." Pfft what, is he going to marry someone? Stop raising your hand like you're in class. Flashbacks again? I rub my forehead.

"What is it?" The judge asks, less enthusiastically. "As Miss Gojo stated, the details of Eren's titan power remain uncertain. Making it dangerous. This I propose to have Captain Levi take responsibility for Eren's control, and embark on an expedition outside the walls." "With Eren in tow?" The judge asks. "Yes, sir. Based on the expedition's results, I'd like you to judge whether Eren can control his titan powers and whether he is a boon or bane to humanity."

"Control Eren Jaeger.." the judge thinks aloud. "Can you do it, Levi?" Shorty replies boredly, "I'm certain I can kill him. The problem is, I don't think I can do any less." Is this shorty for real? I roll my eyes in annoyance. He seems to notice that 'cause he just gives me a side eye without a glare accompanying it. I continue to watch Eren though.

"Then my decision is made."
~~~~~~~~~

"What were you thinking? Now the whole world knows you're Pride and they might suspect I'm Shadow! Plus you're now in the survey corps and commander might throw us---" "stop overthinking it. You're telling me I'd just sit and watch that kid getting insulted while his life is getting thrown away? I can't let it happen like that.." I raise my voice slightly at Ezra. He's always being so cautious. "Plus, Blondie Smith never told it's a problem even if I do say I'm Pride. He just told he wouldn't reveal our prior identities. There's that. Final."
Before Ezra could retort, I see a certain someone within the corner of my eyes. I run up to him.

"Hey Dok. Long time no see," i smile innocently. Nile's face paled visibly. I put my arm around his shoulder. "Now then, I presume you won't be going around asking why a criminal is in the survey corps... Afterall, don't forget what you did to me." I speak grimly. Nile shudders. "Don't worry about it- I won't. Nothing will come out." "Now that's a good--"

"Hey, hands off a superior," Shorty's grumpy, deep voice commands. My arm grips harder around his shoulder a bit as I smile. "Oh we're just chatting, aren't we?" I remove my arm and step back from Nile. "Don't forget what I told you, Dok!" I say cheerfully and follow shorty to the other room. "What was that about?" Shorty begins to question but I freeze in the doorway. No way.. it's the reddish brown haired lady with Eren Jaeger. Another guy looks out the window. He must be someone important too. I'm not dreaming..

"That was terrible, it hurts right?" Her voice is laced with concern as she treats the boy's face. "A little," he replies. The woman's face turns, a little excited? "So, how does it hurt?" Eren looks at her strangely. "I'm sorry," Blondie Smith apologises to Eren. "But thanks to that, we had you turned over to us." Eren agrees. "The pain you endured allowed me to play my cards at the right moment." He kneels down and extends his hand with a friendly smile at Eren saying, "you have my respect. Eren, I look forward to working with you." Eren looks a bit stunned before shaking his hand excitedly. "Yes, sir! Thank you!"
I still watch from the doorway. Afterall, I'm still an outsider. Shorty takes a seat, near Eren, making Eren flinch. "Hey Eren, do you resent me?"

"N-no," stammers Eren. "I understand why it was necessary." "That's good."

"But you took it a little too far. You lost a tooth," The other woman says the last part to Eren. "See?" She unravels the tooth kept in a cloth. "Don't pick that up... It's creepy," Shorty says with disgust evident in his voice. "Even this is an important sample," glasses lady says, enthusiastically. "Eren, it's still better than getting dissected by people like Hange, right?" Oh, her name's Hange.
"I'm not like them.." Hange whines. "I wouldn't kill him. Hey Eren, let me see the inside of your mouth." Eren is a little weirded out but complies anyway. Hange looks shocked. "The tooth... It's already grown back."

Eren suddenly looks at me. "Hey, you're the lady called Pride right?" I blink a few times. He's talking to me? "Hey brat, answer him. Are you deaf too?" I ignore Shorty and answer Eren, "yes I am, I suppose." "Thank you, for back there. You're the first to stand up for me in the court. And you barely know me too." "It was no problem," I grin. "Afterall, you remind me of someone," I say, taking a seat next to him. Eren gets a bit flustered. The lady, Hange turns her attention to me now. "Wow, your hair is quite unique. May I see your eyes?" I tilt my sunglasses a bit down while looking down at her. "no." My reply makes her pout. I turn to Smith. "Hey blondie Smith. Am I supposed to go on this expedition too?" Everyone looks a bit shocked with my sense of 'disrespect'.

"Depends Azura. It depends. We'll test your strength tomorrow. To see what there is about you, that shut the commander of the Military police."
