Southern Cadet Corps, Wall Rose, Paradis

3RD POV

The warm spring sun begins to rise over the Cadet Encampment. The camp, bustling with activity as the 104th Cadet Corps had begun their day. The instructors having to put in a bit of effort to get the new cadets up and ready for the day of training to come. Within the boys' barracks, Commandant Shadis kicked open the door, nearly breaking it in the process. "JUST WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU ALL STILL DOING!? GET OUT OF BED AND GET INTO ROLL-CALL NOW!" This caused all of the boys to jump up quickly. Jean hits his head on the top bunk above him from the scare of the instructor "OW!" The male above him looks down, his (E/C) eyes having a signature sparkle even with the bags under them. "Easy there Jean, please don't break my bed with your thick skull." (Y/N) said very sarcastically. He hopped down, grabbing his cadet coat from the hook right next to him.

"Damn it... my head isn't thick you moron!" Jean looked at (Y/N) as he walked away. The boys soon heard screaming from across the camp. The origin... Shadis had just done the same thing to the girls' barracks. 

"I'm sure that won't have any consequences." (Y/N) stated as he was putting his boots on. Eren next to him "Well he's the commandant, he can kinda do whatever he wants within the law at least." (Y/N) just gives Eren a deadpanned look. "I'm pretty sure storming the girls' barracks is against the law." Eren looked up thinking about this. Armin walked over stopping the conversation. "You two can talk about the law later, we need to go, or the Commandant is going to come back and make you both run for the next week!" Both boys look at Armin before quickening their pace to get ready.

Commandant Shadis is seen walking towards the training grounds with his advisors, Lucia Werner and Charles Zimmerman. "Sir, the stands are all prepared for the cadets. We made sure to assign them their ODM Gear yesterday." Shadis continued to walk, not looking at Charles. "Good. I'll be down at the training grounds, I want you two to make sure the cadets get down there without issue. I can already tell this group is good for nothing." Both advisors nod and walk towards the center grounds where the cadets are lined up in the same order as the day before. The cadet advisors commenced with roll-call, noting that they were about 34 people shorter than the previous day.

This didn't go without notice from the cadets, some murmurs could be heard throughout the young soldiers. Charles put an end to that, however. "Listen up! Yes! People did leave us from yesterday! That is common and we will continue on! I do not want to hear another peep about it or you will be doing pushups until your arms break! Understood!" This got the cadets to quiet up after a collective "YES SIR!"

After roll call, the cadets followed their advisors to the testing grounds. Confusion could be seen on their young faces as they stood before large mechanisms of pulleys and steel. (Y/N) is seen in the front row, between Armin and Christa.

(Y/N) POV

Why do these two look kinda similar?

I looked back and forth between Christa and Armin and saw some similarities. Armin didn't notice my back and forth but Christa questioned me. "Is everything okay?" Her face had some worry on it, "Hm? Oh... yeah everything's fine. Don't worry yourself." I decided to drop the subject, I must not have gotten enough sleep. Christa stared at me for a little before smiling "Alright. If there's anything wrong just know you can tell me!" When one thing went through my mind...

'She's an angel...'

However, my thoughts were cut short when I heard my name be called to get into... whatever this machine is. I walk up and attach myself to the thin steel wire. Assistant Instructor Lucia walked up to me and checked to make sure things were attached correctly. She backed up and signaled for the cadet who was manning the pulleys. I suddenly was hoisted up.
