Peaceful days are about to end

In a corner of the large dining hall, many people gathered, the reason was that Eren said he wanted to join the Survey corps, not that Eren hadn't mentioned it before, but many people thought he was just shouting out his heart's desires. 

Eren didn't get good grades at first. But he didn't place in the top ten by cheating, but through hard work. Now that he graduated, Eren entered the top ten and gave up his qualification to join the military police and went on to choose to join the Survey corps, this made many people receive a strong shock of bewilderment. 

If you have the chance to go to the inner city, why would you throw all that away and go die at the hands of titans? 

Obviously people aren't talking shit, but they knew Eren's words were serious. 

A boy shouted a few words at Eren, the voice was a little loud and everyone turned their attention. 

Everyone in the dining hall was silent for a while, and the boy who also discovered that he had gotten everyone's attention, ignored that and continued to express his feelings, "We sent hundreds of thousands of people in the last battle to take back the wall Maria, hundreds of thousands and they are all dead now, we are no more than three hundred, do you still think humanity has a chance in the fight against the titans?" 

The boy had small glasses, Takashi remembered that his name was John and he was very lonely in the training corps. 

John felt it was really necessary to persuade the people who wanted to go to the Survey corps, they are not going to save humanity and quite possibly they can never win. 

Letting his heart rage, John stabbed Eren again with real words, "Do you know the loss ratio in the battle to recapture the Wall of Mary years ago? Humans usually have to lose 30 people to kill a titan!" 

Eren was silent for a moment, his expression still firm and knowing that the situation was different now. Eren would neither go to the Survey corps alone, but Armin a year ago told him he would go with him. As for Mikasa, he was sure he would naturally do so. 

"So, you're giving up because you think you can't win? Yes, so far we've received nothing but defeats. That's because we knew practically nothing about them. Fighting them head to head is futile, titans can't be beaten by numbers."

"We know very little about the titans, but the intelligence gained from human failures time and time again will be the basis of our victory. Will we discard all that we have achieved through the sacrifice of others and let the titans devour us? It's ridiculous, I will exterminate every last titan and free myself from all these narrow walls." 

Everyone looked different, there were those who agreed, those who disdained and those who were just silent. Eren looked at everyone and said to Takashi who approached, "Takashi, even if you have other goals, the outcome will take you to the same place as mine." 

Takashi nodded and said, "This was never a game, I am here now and I have made up my mind, just like many people decide to go to the military police or join the garrison troops after careful consideration. I don't blame them and I respect their decisions, dying with a whole body is better than dying and only leaving an arm or legs behind." 

"I don't want you to cry over my grave, that will make me angry and I will come out from wherever I am to beat you... Even if I'm joking, I'll make sure to fight for those who don't have enough courage. Take care of your families, for those who have and those who unfortunately don't." 

"I lost my parents long ago, it brings me joy to see happy families and mothers taking care of their children. Do not cause them misfortune and live within the walls, I will fight for the strongest and take care to protect them all." 

The whole place fell silent, no one could speak, ignoring everyone's expressions of surprise, he continued, "If our knives are not good enough or our cannons are weak and our accuracy is not good enough, that's fine." 

"But as long as the walls are strong and the guns are upgraded from generation to generation, someday, we can be accurate and win without the need to lose sons and close friends." 

"With one shot, you can crush a titan's head, and at that point, his point on the back of his neck would be the scum. Wait, I'll find out everything about the titans, and I won't rest until I see humanity win."

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Takashi smartly walked away and went back to drinking, saying that the food was good today. 

As a traveler, he and the people here have different ideas. Titans, demons, beasts and parasites deserve to be beaten by science. Could titans someday serve as a source of energy? 

Missiles and nuclear bombs? 

Although the technology of the world inside the wall is far from this level, as long as the technological tree climbs strongly, it is not possible that it could not invent technology superior to a three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, even if a hot air balloon is created it would serve for research outside the wall without touching the ground. 

However, from Takashi's understanding, in recent years, with the exception of some technologies, such as three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, it seems that he was somehow blocking ingenious thoughts. Isn't this ridiculous? He was misguided. 

Takashi turned and walked away. 

"There's no need to cry in pain in front of my grave. You can ridicule some words at that time. I think unlike Takashi I won't be able to come out and refute you."  Eren ran off after speaking, he didn't want to be seen as an immature child. 

Returning to his table, Takashi continued to eat the delicious food. There was no way to do it calmly afterwards. The peaceful days are gone. If you can eat a peaceful meal, this could be the last meal. If there is no new anything, the door would be kicked down afterwards. 

Ymir suddenly sneered, "There must be some people who can't stand the stimulation from you and Eren, and they're going to enter the Survey corps with a fragile mind." 

"Ymir, you're enough!" Christa said angrily. 

Takashi looked at Ymir lightly, thinking that if you make a mistake or hesitate you could die. 

"I will take it upon myself to protect you, I'm sure a light will soon emerge in our darkness." 

"I have no obligation to fight for others, but pitifully I have to stand by your side if I don't want to have you as my enemy." Ymir lowered her voice. 

"You can interpret it that way, don't worry, the titans will be as easy as cutting meat. All I have to do is watch my back and make use of my strength at the right times." Takashi said as he finished his meal. 

"Takashi is sick?" Daz looked at Takashi with a confused expression, "What kind of power would you have, to inspire others to go to certain death?" 

"Shut the fuck up." Ymir silenced the out of control Daz. 

"Well." 

"Funny, recognizing yourself would also be a kind of wisdom. It's impossible for everyone to sacrifice themselves without fear. I'm afraid of dying too, but don't worry, it's just fear of leaving this world without being able to do anything meaningful." Takashi smiled slightly. 

"Well, I hope to see from afar how amazing your words can be." Ymir sighed quietly. 

... 

Eren, Armin and Mikasa ran out after Eren, while the other soldiers of the training corps celebrated that they had graduated from the Trost district garrison corps station. 

Sitting on the street steps at this time, Eren looked up at the night sky and said, "Can we still go back to that place?" 　

It's definitely possible, we can go further until we see the sea." Armin looked longingly at the sky. 

"Mikasa, think again, isn't it a pity not to go to the military police regiment?" Eren looked at Mikasa with uncertainty. 

Mikasa's expression was firm, "I will also go to the scouting corps, unless you are willing to go to the military police regiment with me." 

Eren had a headache, "I don't think you have to go on..." 

Mikasa interrupted Eren, "If I don't follow you, you will die soon." 

After eating and drinking, Takashi also went out to hang out and saw a couple arguing. 

The boy wanted to go to the Exploration Corps, but the girl discouraged him. The two were one of the few couples in the training corps. 

Shaking his head, Takashi turned around and wanted to leave, he had already eaten today after all. 

"Hey, are you in such a hurry to die?" Annie asked, leaning against the wall. 

Turning to look at the blonde girl, in the days after coming to this place, Takashi and Annie sometimes cooked together for everyone, you could say they were quite familiar. He didn't answer her question but asked, "I thought you respected my decision, what made you change your mind? Don't tell me it's because it would be more comfortable staying with someone inside the inner city." 

Annie's expression was indifferent, "So, would you come with me if it was that way?" She had no longing to go to the MP, but there was something to be done. 

With a smile, Takashi shook his head, "No! Your life is your own and your path is of your own choosing. Tempting as it sounds, I can't divert my path from this fight." 

"You don't know what it means to face a titan, you could die in your first encounter with one. Won't you consider it again?" Annie asked lightly. 

"I can't do it." Takashi didn't understand Annie's questions and said, "Although I don't think you like the gendarmerie, you should still live a quiet life inside the walls." 

"I explained to you a few days ago why I fight, I hope you still respect that decision." 　

Annie's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness of the night, "Really? Then I can't do anything, goodbye." 

After saying that, Annie turned around and left. 

Takashi didn't care either, he walked forward and saw Eren and his group. 

Eren and Takashi greeted each other, "Tomorrow, the Survey Corps is going out of the city to conduct an inspection outside the wall, do you want to take a look?" 

"Okay, I'd like to see them!" Takashi agreed, and also wanted to see the regimental commander and the others. There are still some differences between the role and the real people in the anime. 

"Hmph, tick." Mikasa snorted coldly. 

Eren reached out his hand to cover his forehead and Armin was speechless, Mikasa never wanted to see Takashi, especially after knowing that Armin was determined to go to the scouting corps and the knight that drove his decision was a man named Takashi 

Well, Takashi doesn't like Mikasa much either, and it hasn't been a day or two since they didn't like each other. 

Takashi couldn't do anything and said goodbye to Armin and Eren eventually. 

Everyone could feel that the days of peace were about to end.
