Survival Game [Attack On Titan] {ON HOLD}

Chapter Nine: The 3DMG! Good luck Eren

"Man who knew that training would be this hard! I mean is it really necessary to run 50 laps around camp" Sasha whines sitting down at the table where we were all eating lunch. "I don't know Sasha maybe it's for us to run faster if the day comes and we run out of gas and a titan is chasing us" Armin gave Sasha a pat on the shoulder.

"But still it's so hard" Sasha took her bread and takes a big bite out of it. I laugh a little at her inner kid coming out. "Yeah well at least you succeeded in the 3DMG aptitude test. Unlike me." Eren spoke lifting his head to look at Sasha straight in the eye but after finishing his sentence he hits his head with the table. Causing him to wince by hitting his head injuring.

"Now, now Eren" I put my hand on top of his head in a comforting manner. "Remember that Shadis gave you 'till tomorrow to pass that 3DMG aptitude test. Although you were the one that said that if you couldn't handle the pressure then-" I was cut off by Mikasa poking my shoulder, I turn my head to look at her and she points to Eren. I turn once again but this time to look at Eren, if he didn't already have a gloomy aura then he definitely has it now.

"Ah-ah but that doesn't count you cause your one of the best soldiers ever!" I panicked. "Way to go Danielle" Jean said from the table in front of us smirking. I shot him one of my famous glares. I try to cheer Eren up once again but my attempts were just ignored. I let out a frustrated sigh and go back to eating. And unconsciously get driven away by my train of thoughts.

'I really wonder why Eren wasn't able to stay steady like the rest of us.'

Flashback

"What the hell is this?!"

I was being set down from the 3DMG aptitude machine whatever that is called, when I heard someone scream. 'Must be Shadis again, I feel bad for the person he's yelling at now' I disconnect myself from the wires and hand them to the next cadet. "That was great work Cadet Ackerman" one of the soldiers praise me. "Thank you sir" I salute and walk back to where Armin was.

I heard more yelling but couldn't figure out what Shadis was saying. I reached Armin at the back of a crowd. "Hey Armin what's going on. Who is he yelling at today?" I ask Armin trying to get a better view of what's going on. "Its Eren...He is yelling at Eren" Armin quietly answers. My head quickly snaps to look at Armin before pushing myself through the crowd of people to reach the front. Once I reach the front I'm met with a horrible sight, Eren is hanging upside-down with Shadis yelling not to friendly words at him. Our eyes meet for a moment and on that little moment, his eyes said no begged for help.

The sun was setting but we still had a little more time before dinner. Eren and I were in our cabin resting. I was laying on my bed looking at the ceiling while Eren was sitting on his bed, his arms rested over his knees and held his head in his hands. He was murmuring words to himself that I couldn't hear but I was able to catch one word, 'useless' In just a split second I was on my feet facing Eren.

"Eren..." I call out to him, but nothing no answer.

"Eren." I try again, but still no response.

"Eren!" I yell this time, and finally I got his attention.

I kneeled down in front of him so we could be face to face. I took hold of both his hands in mine and look him straight in the eyes. "Eren Jaegar I'm not so sure of what you were saying just now but I did hear the word useless." I pause for a moment to make sure he has my attention. "So let me make myself clear, you are not useless, the 3DMG is just a little harder for you than it is to the others, ok. And don't worry Armin, Mikasa and I will find a way to help you" I gave him the warmest smile I could give anyone right now.
