Meeting

WHAM! My fist connected with the last wooden pole shattering it to pieces. My body was drenched with sweat and my lungs were burning. All around me were bits of wood, the remainings of the training poles that i had smashed earlier. I moved towards a circular platform where in the centre stood a much thicker pole made of solid oak.

This was where i practiced most of my fighting techniques. Inside me burned a fire that had never left me since the day my parents were murdered by filthy thugs. I used to live in the underground city, where violence and death permeated like an irremovable stench. The day my parents died, i vowed that i would never let weakness take away the ones i love. I would have vowed to kill them one day had not been brutally stabbed by another gang higher up the food chain. I had used all the money that my parents had saved to buy  passageway to the surface and moved towards the countryside inside Wall Maria. There, with the help of a few friendly farmers i built a small hut and a training area where i practiced and perfected all the techniques that i had invented myself.

Tomorrow would be the big day. I would be joining the 104th cadet unit and help fight off the titans, the plague that had been the original cause my parents dead. Had they not existed there would have been much more land available. My parents would never had had to live in the underground and be murdered.

After i finished practicing techniques, i slid into a nearby stream washing myself clean of sweat and put on a new set of clean clothes. I walked towards my small hut. By the door lay a blueberry pie alongside a note from one of the local farmers wife. Had it not been with the help of the few farmers and their kindness i would not have survived this long. After finishing the pie I lay down on my small bed with a contented sigh and drifted off to sleep.

"AND WHAT IS YOUR NAME, YOU SHAMEFUL EXCUSE OF A HUMAN?!!" screamed Shadis the drill instructor.

"A A Armin Arlert Sir! Shiganshina district!," the blonde hair boy stammered. He was clearly freaking out, fingers trembling and sweat sliding down his temple in rivulets. Shadis continues down the row eyeing each cadet and screaming for their name. 

He finally reaches me. "AND WHO THE HELL MIGHT YOU BE?!". 

"Y/N Sir!" Shadis was no small man but as he stood in front of me, his head barely reached my nose.  

TIMESKIP (dinner time)

I walked into the dinner hall, grabbing a plate of food i sat down next to a group of cadets who had stopped and were staring at me intently. Judging from their faces i could see that they were clearly a little intimidated by my height. Except for one, a black haired girl. She wore no expression on her face and continued eating her food. 

"Hey my names Y/N," i said. One of the boys leaned forwards to shake my hand. He had clear green eyes. "Nice to meet you, my name is Eren."

"It looks like someone can talk here," i joked. Slowly one by one they introduced themselves. Armin, Connie, Sasha, Jean (sorta looks like a horse), Marco. Eren poked the black haired girl, "Introduce yourself Mikasa." She only looked up at me and back down to her food. 

"I guess thats her way of acknowledgement," i thought. 

As dinner continued, everyone slowly started warming up. They shared their backstories and why they joined the cadet unit. As Eren started sharing his reason, his eyes glazed over and his voice took over with a hint of hunger. "Im going to kill every last titan, Im going to make sure that they're all dead!" And with that dinner was concluded and we all started heading back to our bunks.

As we headed towards our cabins, all of the cadets were excited. There would be a sparring session tomorrow and everyone was eager for a fight. However my attention was diverted. I was looking at a blond haired girl. She was walking with 2 other recruits. Her face had a cold emotionless expression similar to Mikasa's. She towards my direction, catching me staring and narrowed her eyes. i quickly looked back returned to my dinner.
