"Why are you mimicking a scarecrow?"
Passing muster and joining the training corps was the first matter Belva had to sort out.
After the day of Keith deeming her capable, the true difficulty of her now routine hit her the next morning.
Not only they were all woken up at sunrise, the endurance they needed to manage through the exercises was not little.
The soldiers had three years to prepare at total. So, after the first three days of scheduled training, the cadets were asked to practice the use of blades. The blades they needed to learn how to control so perfectly as to kill a titan swiftly.
The cadets would develop step by step, learning all the needed theory while separating the action into smaller parts. They needed to get accustomed with balancing in the air and using a pair of swords before going on combining these two.
However, the pace of training seemed quick to Belva. She had passed the test, but they were four days in and she was discouraged. She obviously didn't share any of those thoughts of hers with anyone.
The fourth afternoon in the camp, she was at the outside metal faucets washing. While not prepared, Annie had joined her in the place as well.
The brunette talked first, greeting the girl who nearly ignored her. However, they ended up talking of the test and Belva's success, with the Jaeger thanking Annie. The blonde actually didn't kindly said it was nothing, but took a guess of how the use of the blades would now also trouble her classmate.
Belva was used to getting all red while the cadet was near. She made her embarrassed without much struggle.
Annie had finished off washing and after seeing the girl's reaction she had let out a sigh.
"If you promise not to try and bribe me again, I could tutor you."
And give her a further chance to humiliate her? Well, she had no better options.
Mikasa had already been proven to be talented. Would she, however, ever ask for her help on improving her non-existent skills? No.
And so Annie won the opportunity of extra time to use her sarcasm against Belva.
In conclusion, today was the second afternoon the two girls had met up for extra blade practice.
And Annie was currently commenting on the way Belva's arms nearly danced around alike a scarecrow's while it was windy.
