Beyond The Walls

Chapter 024

Origin

Hanes, Eric, and Lev are all together on a room away from the cadet's rooms. They are discussing about the mystery on how titans appeared here again on the planet. "So, Hanes thinks that the titans were human experiments." Lev said as he looks in disbelief to the mad scientist. Hanes giggles before presenting her research. "As we all know, titans are humans injected with a titan spinal fluid for them to transform into one." Eric furrows his eyebrows before looking at Hanes' papers. "But this is what the Eldians discovered thousand of years ago. It is possible that they are once humans." Eric explained as he turns the pages. "Yes, we all know that. But the question is, who's turning this humans into titans?" Lev is just listening closely to what the scientist is explaining, lso getting into the topic. "There must be someone responsible for all this madness." Lev said before taking Hanes' research and reading it. The research concludes the fact the titan shifters still roams the face of the Earth. "Then who do you think it is? I mean we are the new Eldians. In fact, we are Eldians." "Marleyan's." Lev said before standing up to get the map Paradis."We're the Eldians. So possibly there are Marleyan's still alive." He explained. Hanes hums in response before standing up. "Well! I'm going to bed now. I have deliveries arriving tomorrow." She said excitedly before skipping out of the room. "Lev, I can't believe her." Eric said while facepalming himself. Lev just chuckles at the older's reply before going out of the room as well.

The next morning, everyone was woken up by screams of terror from the people outside. They quickly grabs their ODM gear and went out of the castle to see the commotion. But all was shocked when they saw Hanes with two titans securely tied up. "Ugh, Hanes. What is this?" Lev asked as he takes a sip from his tea. Hanes turns around, adjusting her glasses. "This is the delivery I was talking about last night, Lev. I ordered them to catch two titans for me to experiment on." She said with a smile. Lev just rolls his eyes as the other looks at her with confusion. "Why does she order them to capture her titans?" John asked while crossing his arms. Hanes went closer to the titans after grabbing a broom stick. "You are now under my supervision. And I shall name you too, Porklet and Beanstalk!" She proudly exclaims. The other groans before walking back inside the castle, leaving Lev, Eric, Jiro and his friends. "Seriously, you'll get eaten." Eric warns before standing at a safe distance from the titans. Hanes laughs hestericaly before raising the broomstick to poke titan Porklet's cheek. It groans before attempting to bite her. Good thing she notices this and jumped away before being bitten. "Ha! That was a close one, Porklet." She said before leaning on titan Beanstalk's head. "You're gonna get eaten soon. And I will definitely watch them chew you." Lev said before walking back inside. Jiro went to Hanes before calling her. "Section commander, what are these titans for?" Jiro asked with Amir clinging on his arm, trembling. "I'm gonna use them and YOU for experiments!" She replies with a smile. Jiro just nod at her with uneasiness present on his face before stepping back. Porklet then attempts to bite Hanes again but just like the first time, she dodges it. "Good one, Porklet!" She said before laughing. Eric just sighs in defeat before guiding the three cadets back inside the castle.
