"I Promise" Levi Ackerman x Reader

Chapter Nine

-A Random Cadet Who Watched The Fight POV- (New POV! Yay! <3)

My mouth hangs open as the fight begins. I had only walked out here to see what all the yelling was about and instead I was witnessing a monster being attacked.

(f/n) had gotten into a fighting position and I had been confused because she was one of the weakest fighters, she had no idea what that stance was. The other confusing part was that it looked like it wasn't even (f/n) fighting anymore, it was like her body had been taken over by someone else. Just by watching her in the stance I was terrified, and nobody is afraid of (f/n).

Of course because it was (f/n) being attacked, by the time the fight had started everyone had dropped their mouths. It wasn't everyday that you saw a non-fighter spin their body expertly and take out three different people in only a matter of seconds, it also wasn't everyday that you saw a non-fighter lean backwards as two knives shot over her face.

(f/n) spins around and it only takes two more seconds for her to have them both writhing on the ground in agony. At this point I'm fully expecting her to take out the others and Cathryn but instead (f/n) freezes and I watch in confusion.

My confusion quickly fades as I notice that her intimidating presence has disappeared. I'm not sure how many other people have noticed her change but I'm sure they will soon right? I look around and realize that all the other Cadets are frozen, disbelief written in their eyes.

"Wait!" I hear (f/n) scream out and I look back to see one of Cathryn's favorite henchmen come out behind her to swing a punch at her head. For a brief moment I think that she's dodged it but that quickly vanishes as her body flies forwards and lands at my feet.

I don't help her. Nobody else helps her, we are all too concerned about our reputation and no matter how bad we feel for her we don't want that to happen to us.

I look up as I hear some Cadets swearing and notice that something small is pushing through them. I freeze, remembering that today we were going to have a certain soldier come to talk to us.

Levi Ackerman, humanity's strongest soldier looks thoroughly pissed off.

-Your POV-

'The Cold man... Why is he here?!' I scream in my head and I just stare, forgetting the question that he had asked.

The cold man glares at me and looks to Cathryn. I feel a pang of jealousy as he walks over to her and looks at her dead in the eyes.

'Why are you jealous, you don't even know him' I hear the voice in my head say and I know that he's right, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm getting jealous, it just helps me to know why I shouldn't be.

"Tch, Who are you?" the cold man snaps at Cathryn and I see her flinch and quickly salute.

"I am Cadet Cathryn Worthington from the 100th training regiment!" Cathryn says and I notice that for a brief second the cold man had a look of surprise in his eyes but almost as soon as I notice it his expression is back to normal and he looks over at me.

"Oi, what's your name?" He snaps at me and from my sitting position I try to salute, causing a few from the crowd to snicker at me. I feel my face burn hot, all the anger that I was feeling from earlier crashes away as I fail to look at the cold man in the eyes.

"M-my name is" Before I can finish my stuttering sentence the cold man cuts me off.

"Look at me when you speak to me brat" He says and I gulp in fear, something about this small man was terrifying. I try to ignore my thoughts as I turn my gaze towards his, as soon as my eyes reach his they are locked into position.

The cold man slowly walks towards me and kneels in front of me, his steel eyes never leaving my (e/c) ones. My body freezes up and I force open my mouth to speak to him.

"My n-name is (f/n) (l/n) from the 100th t-training regiment..." I stammer out and curse myself for sounding so afraid and so much like a mouse. I notice something change in the cold man's expression for a brief second but it quickly goes back to being stoic and unfriendly before my head can register what it was.

"Who started the fight Cadet (l/n)?" He snaps at me and look away. 'Tell him it was Cathryn! This is your chance!' The voice tells me but I ignore it because the cold man would never believe me.

"I started the f-fight, sir" I manage to stammer out and I look back at the cold man slowly. He starts getting even more pissed off at me, I don't blame him, I just admitted to knocking out five people... (see image above to know Levi's expression)

"Although taking the blame on yourself instead of the one you hate is noble, it isn't honest" The cold man snaps at me and I stare at him, surprised.

"Were you aware that I would be here today Cadet (l/n)?" The cold man asks and I shake my head getting a small growl out of Instructor Keith. The cold man just stands up and brushes the dirt off his pants and turns around to walk away.

"W-wait!" my hand reaches out and I grab his green cloak. He turns around with an icy stare and I quickly let go of him, suddenly more afraid then before.

"What's your n-name, sir?" I hear other Cadets from the crowd gasp and some start to laugh before the cold man looks around with venom in his eyes.

The cold man looks back at me and lifts his chin.

"Captain Levi" is all he says before turning around abruptly and walking over to the obviously annoyed Instructor Keith.

I hear a scream behind me and I spin my head around and see a woman with glasses running over to me, excitement etched into her features.

The woman grabs my and lifts me up so high that my feet don't touch the ground anymore as she inspects me. I just stare back in shock.

"Tell me everything!" She squeals into my face and starts holding me bridal style a she shoves through the crowd and to the main office.

Today has been the strangest day of my life.
