Wings Of Freedom ( Levi x Reader)

Training Crops: introductions

Standing in the dusty courtyard are rows upon rows of untrained cadets, it would be safe to say at least over half of these kids are shitting themselves right now, to me, it is quite amusing how they most likely think this is the most horrifying out there in the world apart from a titan...oh how wrong they are. The drill sergeant paces up and down the rows cadets like a hungry wolf his eyes picking and pulling at cadets, I knew exactly what he was doing he was trying to break theses, kids, down and remolded into the soldiers they wanted, I stood towards the back of the rows with a bored expression on my face as my lips stayed in their straight line like always, but my eyes shifted towards the instructor as he began to speak his voice loud enough for everyone one to hear. I look to my left seeing a kid shaking in his spot, the sweat dripping off his forehead was probably enough to fill up a pouch of water, I just shake my head and turn my attention back to the instructor.

Shadis POV:

"ATTEN-TION!" I scream out as the cadets move as one, stiffening their backs and saluting. "My name is Keith Shadis and I'm your commandant -- and I do not bid you welcome." I make eye contact with some of the cadets as I visually see them break I walk around staking the rows of cadets continuing making eye contact breaking some of them. I make way to the back row and it's like time slowed down as I made eye contact with a girl standing in the back row as her expression was a bored one I met her eyes to see her glaring at me as my eyes slowly winded I feel my legs come to halt before turning on my heel walking back down to the front row, 'I will go back eventually, I'm going to work hard to break her down'. I shake my thoughts as I arrive back at the front.  

I walk around at the rows of the new trainees as my boots kick up some dirt "pathetic" I mumble under my breath as I look my eyes burn into any one of them as I walk past these kids are going to be easy to break. walking the down the middle of the rows I see a blonde mop of hair...this one is first "YOU!" I shout at the cadet who to attention, salutes with his right fist over his heart. "Sir!" he squeaks out. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"  "Armin Arlert, sir, from Shiganshina District!" " WHY DID YOU ENLIST, ARLET?" the blond boy's eyes widened "for the freedom and glory of humanity, sir" " GOOD! WE CAN USE YOU AS TITAN BAIT!..... THIRD ROW, ABOUT-FACE!" I grabbed the boys head and turned it in the right direction.   

after that, I move on to the next row of recruits  "YOU! YOUR NAME!" I shout in the young boy's face, the shadow of my face can be seen on the boy's. "Marco Bodt from Jinae, on the south.......side of --" he the stops all of a sudden hearing my voice overpowers his "LOUDER!!" I take a step back as the boy began to speak up "Marco Bodt from Jinae!"  my eyes burn into him for a few seconds 'freckles....he has a lot of them...I'm naming him freckles from now on' I smirk to myself. 

 As I continue my rounds of speaking to the recruits,  a pair of officers are pacing the perimeter Instructor Marcel and Commander Pixis. "Ah, this brings me back. Though I don't remember all the shouting..." Marcel turns to Pixis as they watch me walking the row's and picking out cadets  "A rite of passage. It breaks them down -- helps us remold them into proper soldiers." Pixis mumbles quietly to Marcel as they hear me in the distance "FOURTH ROW, ABOUT-FACE!" Marcel cocks an eyebrow watching me carefully as he skips some of the cadets. "Why is he ignoring some of them?" Marcel questioned and without a second Pixis replied knowing the answer straight away as Pixis had been observing the young cadets "Some have been through their rites, you can see it in their eyes." Pixis eyes had fallen on a few cadets in his mind he could already see the horrors they have faced, with the attack on Wall Rose that happened his mind that began to wonder, how many of these kids were there on that day.
