You wake the next morning to all the girls talking. You sit up and start your morning routine. After you finish your morning routine you head to the mess hall. Getting your food, late as usual, you look for Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. Of course once you found them Eren and Jean are already fighting, ignoring their fight you take your seat, next to Mikasa, again as usual, and began eating. Once you finish your food you head out onto the porch, there in the porch you heard something; cheering? As people start to hurry out of the mess hall and to the assembly lines in the quad area, you stand up and join them. After a while, you see all of the leaders of the Branches. Looking at each leader, studying them carefully, you see their best people behind them. Keith Shadis stands on the wooden platform and says menacingly, but not demanding,"GOOD MORNING CADETS!! YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY YOU ALL ARE HERE! WELL YOU GET TO CHOOSE YOUR BRANCH TODAY!!!!" Everyone cheers from excitement and happiness. "EACH INDIVIDUAL BRANCH LEADER WILL COME UP AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES!" (*sighs* I'm becoming more and more lazier, the more I grow older, Anyways...)
-Timeskip to the Survey Corps intro by my laziness ( ' ▽ ' )ノ-
Erwin, the leader of the survey corps, steps to the front of the stage. "[insert motivational speech here] Those who don't wish to join us then please step to the side!" People, left and right, start to head to the sides. Frantically, the people who want to join look around hoping to see someone who's staying. Firmly, you keep your ground not looking at anyone in the eyes. Finally, only a couple cadets stand. "You few cadets! Salute!" The few cadets, including you, salute. "Right now you're our bravest soldiers! You stood your ground firmly, even as the others stepped aside! I'm proud of you and so you should be too!" Levi, the Survey Corps' top man, scanned each and everyone of the final standing cadets and nods approvingly. Erwin, stepping back, then start to talk to Levi quietly.
Instructor Shadis steps to the front and announces, "THE ASSEMBLY IS OVER! SEE YOU AT TRAINING!" With that everyone gives a final salute and breaks off into their groups. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa head to you.
"A-Are you guys sure you want to do this?" Armin asks worried for the future.
"Of course", Eren said.
"Wherever Eren goes, I follow", Mikasa states bluntly.
"Can you stop that! I'm not a child anymore, Mikasa!" Eren says embarrassed.
"I promised mom", Mikasa says.
"..." (-Eren)
"Well I'm sure about this, Armin. No matter what the consequence, even if I die." You say quite emotionlessly, almost completely monotonous. After the small conversation you guys had, it is training time. As people were practicing on how to balance on the 3D Maneuver Gear, you would watch them from a distance, remembering your father, and how he used to teach you all about the Maneuver Gear.
