Live On!(Attack on titan fanfic)

CH22:

~Marisa~
Kodia came charging at me with the wooden knife like a maniac.
We were supposed to learn combat and self defence, but it's hard to think properly when a white haired athletic girl with glaring eyes charges at you.
I ducked to the side as Kodia thruster her weapon in open air.
"Eh Marisa! This is the third time you did this!" She complained to me.
I sighed, "Sorry, it's just that you're too...realistic? Scaring the shit outta me!". Kodia stared at me for a few seconds before she face palmed her self and nodded.
"Okay I'll go easy on you..."
I nodded back weakly and breathed in.
This time for sure.
We stood back at our places, Kodia readied her knife at me and charged. I swallowed my fear and actually defended my self for once.
I attempted to slap the knife out of her hands by dodging and using my palm to push. Unfortunately, her definition of "going easy" was more than just a fib. As soon as I made contact with her hand she almost immediately round house kicked me in the face.
Luckily I dodged a split second before her stinky boot passed my eyes at a fast speed.
She was too determined, after I dodged, she quickly followed several fast strikes with her knife. I dodged the slashes and dove to the side, nearly tripping over my self.
I tried to punch back but she bent back fast, like a back flip and nearly took out my chin.
Kodia attempted to kick me once again. Her leg inches away from my face as I ducked.
I thought her attacks had subsided but instead she almost immediately round house kicked me again. I bent my back so far that I swore my vertebrae broke.
I couldn't keep my balance so I ended up falling on my gluteus maximus.
As I attempted to stand up, a wooden knife was pointed at me. I looked defeated.

Kodia laughed and offered a hand to me, which I took awkwardly as she patted me down from head to toe.
"Sorry Marisa! I went too far, didn't I?"
I scratched my head and laughed weakly, "Ahha...a little,"
"Sorry! I was too caught up in the moment,"
"Whaha, Kodia damn! You're amazing!"
She blushed a little and waved her hands in front if her face. "Nah nah, luck maybe?"
We both chuckled at each other before a few guys came and interrupted our session. The guy in front with olive brown hair and a smirk on his face spoke up first.
"Hey ladies, how are you going?" He said as he eyed us up and down, like we were an object on display. Kodia grinned,
"Not bad!"
She said, oblivious.
"Don't worry about combat, we'll protect you! Right guys?"
The cadets behind him snickered and grinned stupidly.
"Thanks for the offer! But we are fine." Kodia replied smiling. The guys exchanged glances at each other.
"Aw come on girls, we are strong! Let's hang out tonight, what do you say?" He flirted.
I was tempted to drag Kodia out of this situation but she seemed so unconcerned with the entire event, she was just smiling sheepishly.
"Not if you can beat us in a combat duel!" She suddenly piped up.
It widened the smirk on the guys face.
"Are you sure? We don't want to hit girls you know, we just hit on them,"
"Yeah I'm sure! If we win you have to drop the act and get lost, or, we'll accompany you tonight,"
The leader sneered and cracked his knuckles, "Hehe, you'll have some fun tonight,"
Kodia spun the knife in her hands and clasped it tightly, "Bring it on," she said as she made a determined stare. Before I knew it I was pushed in front.
"You go first Marisa! I believe!" Kodia said happily as I just stood there, frozen.
The guys nervously looked at each other before swapping their mate out as well, in exchange they put in front of me a different guy that had the most creepiest smile ever, despite that, he was scrawny and looked like a twig.
"Hehe, you're cute," he commented, his eyes were all over me.
I spun around and nearly grabbed Kodia by the collar.
"ARE YOU KIDDING, WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN US INTO?" I whispered, very loudly in her face. She blinked a few times and cocked her head sideways.
"What? Isnt this fun though?" She asked, very clueless.
I kept on ranting at her for a few minutes before the guys behind us told us to hurry up or we'd lose by default. I slowly turned around and sighed.
I'm not even good at combat...
But if this is serious. I untied my braid and pulled it into a pony tail, shits getting real. Soon people were gathering around us, observing the fight.
I readied my self and stood very still. My opponent cackled and charged at me while shouting, "IM NOT GONNA GO EASY ON YOU, SWEET CHEEKS!"
I could've ran, right there. But instead I dove to the side and attempted to strike him in the stomach, however he dodged it and nearly hit my face in a flurry of attacks.
Now we stood opposite each other, breaths heavy.
He charged again and made a flying kick, which was stupid cause I easily dove to the side. But as I did he immediately grabbed the back of my head and tried to forced me into the ground.
Much like what Mother fucking Keitch Shadis did. But this time I was prepared.
I resisted as I tried to pry his hands off me. But it didn't work, his grip was strong.
In one last attempt to wrench him off. I grabbed his arm and used all my strength to flip him over. It worked, as he was taken by surprised and suddenly lifted off the ground.
He flew over me and fell onto the ground with a satisfying "BAM". I straighten my back and tried to catch my breath as he lay motionless on the dirt.
Every one stared.
Embarrassed, I rushed back to Kodia who clapped warmly.
"Yes! Nice job Marisa!!"
I gave her a stare and rested my hands on my knees, sweat dripping down my forehead.
The guys gave us a glare as the leader stepped out.
"You wanna try me, doll?" He snickered as he cracked his knuckles again, his pal handed him the wooden knife and he smirked even more.
Kodia gripped her knife in her hands and walked out to meet him.
"Bring it on," she said as she stood back a step and positioned her self.
The leader, or I'd nick name him Oliver. Wow. Gestured his fingers towards him, in order to provoke her.
Kodia knitted her eyebrows together and charged towards him.
It was all parries as they fought.
It was intense. Every one stared wide eyed as the two fought each other relentlessly.
Eren and the gang came beside me and asked if I were alright or whatever, "Marisa are you alright? Damn that guy was close to getting you." Eren said.
My eyebrow twitched. Eren Jäger... I waved my hands dismissively. "Oh no, he was nothing, formidable but like a twig."

Kodia pushed her knife forward as Oliver dodged it and tried to aim for her stomach . She jumped back and tried to kick him but he grabbed her leg and pushed her to the ground.
Where he kneeled onto of her and pointed the knife. Victory seemed near but Kodia was not going to give up. She gave him a sinister look and immediately wrapped her legs around the his neck.
Oliver grabbed her ankle as he tried to wrench her off. But her thighs must've been extra muscular because she pulled her legs back as Oliver was slowly and painfully chocking.
He looked like he was running out of breath as veins started to appear on his head and his face was getting red like a tomato.
Until he was inches bent down onto the ground she immediately released, not giving a chance for him to recover, she sent her leg down onto his chest and he coughed up saliva.
She bent down and pointed her wooden knife at his face.
"Get lost," she said with a smile on her face. His mates hurriedly went over to get him up from the ground, Oliver and his mates gave us dirty looks before walking off in a salty mood.
"Went easy on them, cause they're girls...damn..." They muttered to them selves.
The crowd gasped and half applauded while some shook their heads and left.

Wow.
Kodia immediately jumped onto me and laughed.
"We did it!!" She said excitedly.
I was half pissed, but I couldn't help smiling as well.
"God dammit, don't do that next time okay? You nearly got us killed!" I sighed as she looked guiltily at her self but smiled anyway.

Suddenly, every one rushed around us, especially Kodia. Many people complimented her fighting skills but she just denied them and laughed.
"No aha! It was just luck!" She said.
Obviously, people weren't satisfied with the answer but they still accepted it anyway and carried on.

As Kodia was smothered in the crowd I turned away to sit down and rest, but before I could react someone called my name and nearly crushed me to death.
"Marisa wait! I'm coming with youuuuu!" Kodia pouted as she hung onto me.
I was at my physical limit and I collapsed.
She unintentionally sat on top of me as she blinked and started to apologise.
"Ahhhh Kodia you are crushing me to death!" I said in one breath.
She stood up quickly and began to mourn over my embarrassment. I sat up and tried to fix my back which could've  been potentially broken thrice today.
She laughed as she slapped me playfully in the forehead for being not athletic.

Damn this girl...so smiley. Sigh. Haha.
I thought to my self as every one just stared at me sitting on the ground with a near broken back.
