A New Mission

"So you're going to join the survey corps huh... Eren. " Armin said dejectedly.

"Yea, don't look so depressed Armin! We'll be seeing each other again soon. Cheer up. You will be able to join the survey corps in a year's time after you graduate." Eren told him reassuringly, patting him on the back.

"I suppose so, but this sounds really dangerous. If commander Erwin suddenly needed replacements for the recon squad, that means they would have suffered serious casualties in their previous expedition.. which was also in establishing the outpost? I heard the recon flank encountered a horde of aberrants and were wiped out completely… they probably are still wandering around there."

"Hey, Armin!" Eren smacked his palm on the table, startling him.

"I know how you feel, but don't worry, I've got Mikasa as well,, she will be able to assist me if something comes up. Besides, my maneuvering skills are one of the best in the cadet training heh, even if I can't kill the titans, it won't be easy for them to catch me either. " Eren confidently thumped his chest.

"Still. Eren. Won't you reconsider? You'll be risking your life… it's not too late" Mikasa said, anything that was dangerous to Eren always triggered her concern.

"Not you too Mikasa! I told you, I'm going to kill every single last titan, especially the colossal and armored titan, and avenge mom" Eren replied with an annoyed tone. He knew Mikasa was asking this out of concern, but it was just his habit to get a bit worked up when people around him objected to his way of doing things.

"Besides, I have a few hidden tricks up my sleeves," Eren thought to himself, his memories bringing him back to the meeting days ago with Commander Erwin.

[Flashback Start]

Right after Erwin welcomed Eren into the survey corps. He heard a familiar robotic voice again in his mind

[Congratulations on completing the quest: Join the military training and graduate successfully]

[Because of your outstanding performance, you have graduated one year earlier than expected, on top of 2 chances to draw from the mysterious wheel, u have been granted a chance to draw from the supreme wheel. Would like to use the chances now?]

The voice pleasantly surprised Eren. He had been looking forward to hearing it again. The last time he heard from it, he gained an expert ODM skill, which came in very handy. With great anticipation, he willed in his mind the answer

"Yes"

[Beginning to draw]

[User has obtained Expert Throwing from the mysterious wheel]

[User has obtained Expert ODM from the mysterious wheel]

[Because User already possesses Expert ODM skill, the skills have fused to become Master ODM skill]

[User has obtained Hexagonal Slash from the supreme wheel]

"Master ODM skill? That sounds really good! I was hoping for something that would boost my physique, but I guess this is good also. Hexagonal slash sounds like a badass move. Let me see the skill description first. "Eren thought to himself and opened the stat page in the system.

"This expert throwing is really good! However the same can't be said for my physical strength. With this skill it is guaranteed that I can disable the eyes of any titan I come across...provided they are not too tall hah.

However if the enemy is too tall it would be very tricky… getting into a good position to use [Expert Throwing] would be difficult.

Hexagonal slash sounds like a last resort move. Probably I would only need to use it when I'm surrounded and need to escape. I don't have the required stats to use it yet safely without hurting myself.

It's just unfortunate the system doesn't respond to queries. I will have to make do with what I have … All it has done so far is display my stats as well as issue missions. This expedition shall be my time to shine! Eren thought eagerly to himself.

[New mission issued: Complete a total of 5 survey corps expedition/mission

Reward: 2x Chance to Draw from Mysterious Wheel]
