The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 18 ~Flashback Chapter~

Armin's PoV

I Run Behind The Group and Shadis' Horse Trots Along Side Me and Shadis Yells, "What's Wrong Arlert?! You're The Only One Behind! Is It Too Heavy For You?! Would You Like To Be The Only One Not Carrying A Pack?!" He Rides Ahead and I Growl, "Damn" I Stumble A Bit and Hiss "Shit" My Pack Gets Pulled From My Back and Reiner Growls, "Give Me That, Armin! At This Rate You'll Fail!" I Look At Him and Stammer, "B-But If You Help Me Then You'll Fail Too!" Reiner Scoffs and Looks Ahead. "Make Sure We Don't Get Caught! At Least Until I Change My Mind!" He Growls As He Picks Up The Pace.

"Reiner Braun... He's Strong As An Ox and Has The Will To Match. But More Than Anything, He's Earned The Trust Of His Comrades"

I Narrow My Eyes and I Pull My Pack From Reiner's Back and I Say, "I Won't Be A Burden! Even If I Die Trying!" Reiner's Eyes Widen and He Begins To Protest, "Wha?! Hey!" I Ignore Him and Push Myself To Run Faster Than The Group.

"Armin Arlert.... When It Comes To Physical Strength, He Doesn't Measure Up To Soldier Standards But I Hear That In The Classroom Lectures, He's Shown Extraordinary Imagination. If He Acquired A Sense Of Direction Or Perhaps...."

Jean's PoV

I Rush After Danielle, Annie and Bertholdt and The Trio Get The Killing Blow. I Glare At Their Retreating Forms and I Snap, "Shit! Danielle, Annie and Bertholdt Got It Again!"

"Annie Leonhardt.... The Angle Of Approach Of Her Slashing Attack Is Impeccable.... She Carves Deeply Into The Target. Personality Wise, She Tends To Be A Loner and Has Trouble Cooperating Although She Does Seem To Cooperate Well With Danielle Redwolf."

"Bertholdt Hoover.... He's Mastered Every Single Skill That Has Been Taught and I Believe He Has A Lot Of Potential But He Lacks Drive and Tends To Leave Decisions To Others. Just Like Leonhardt, Hoover Seems To Cooperate Well With Danielle Redwolf and Will Make Decisions For Himself When Around Her, As If He Is Trying To Seem Worthy Of Her Trust and Respect"

"Danielle Redwolf.... A Jack Of All Trades and A Master Of All Skills and She Has A Lot Of Potential. She Doesn't Work Well With Her Other Classmates Besides Braun, Leonhardt and Hoover But That May Be Because Of Their Background Together. She Has Intelligence, A Thirst For Combat, She Is Amazing When It Comes To Teamwork, She Has Initiative, She Has The Wits Of A Soldier, She's Ruthless, She Has High Agility, Her Strength Is Off The Charts, Her Dexterity Is Amazing, Her Leadership Abilities Are Better Than Anything I Have Ever Seen and Her Concentration Levels Are Outstanding. She Is Everything A Soldier Should Be. He Strike Form Is Flawless and Like Leonhardt, She Carves Deeply Into Her Target. Her Talent Is Historically Unprecedented, Making Her A Very Valuable Asset. She Takes Pride In Knowing That Her Skills Are Unmatched By Any Of The Other Trainees. To Redwolf, It Seems The Only People Who Are Equal To Her Are Leonhardt, Braun and Hoover."

"I Can't Cut As Deep As Her! At This Rate.... I'll Have To Earn Points By Finding "Titans" First!!" I Yell As I Fly Away From The Trio. I Narrow My Eyes and Bark, "I'll Be The One In The Military Police Brigade!"

"Jean Kirschtein.... He Has A Deep Understanding Of The Vertical Manoeuvring Equipment and Excels At Exploiting That Skill. Of Course, His Skill Is Not On The Levels Of Redwolf But He Is Outstanding None The Less. He Can Also Take In A Situation At A Moments Glance, But His Personality Is Like A Drawn Sword, Which Tends To Create Conflict"

I Spot A Titan and I Begin To Make My Way Towards It But Connie Cuts Me Off and Leaves Me In The Dust. I Growl and Snarl, "Connie! That Bastard!" Connie Laughs and Says, "Thanks Jean!" and He Shoots Towards The Titan.
