Who is the snitch?

"Haha, aren't you going to kill all the titans, why can't you pass the first level of this simple test?"

As soon as he got close, Takashi heard a mocking voice in the crowd.

Today's test was over, and now everyone around Eren was mocking him for failing his test after everything he had said during the previous day.

"Stop talking nonsense, that wouldn't be said by colleagues, Eren has worked hard and I'm sure he will succeed." A voice from the crowd said confidently.

Marco Bott looked to Jean beside him to at least say a few words, after all, Jean's good friend Marco has a kind personality.

"What do you want me to say? This happens a lot to talkative people, he should have stayed quiet if the result of his skills was such an embarrassing display."

After saying that, Jean looked at Marco's worried look and remarked, "Hey, you know I'm not wrong.... This guy is always talking about killing all the titans, what's the result, you want me to yell at him that he'll get it?" Sneered Jean at Eren while looking at Mikasa beside him.

Takashi who saw this just sighed, jealousy in adolescence can generate a hostile wall between people. He can't wait for Jean to behave in a better way, only then he could be calmer.

"You did it Takashi, with this we both passed the test." Sasha walked up to Takashi and patted his back amicably.

"This was too simple, your father would be very proud to see that his daughter has accomplished so much so far." Takashi said as he looked at Sasha who had become more open to converse with him.

"Thank you, now let's go get something to eat." Sasha cordially invited Takashi to get food.

"I told you, it was nothing but words."

Takashi stopped abruptly, patted Sasha's shoulder and said, "Just wait a second, I have to lecture immature young men."

Sasha looked at Takashi puzzled, watched as his friend walked into the crowd of people watching the test and followed closely behind.

"Hey Takashi, we already completed the test, we should get out of this place." Sasha was a little confused.

When Takashi walked into the crowd, there were capes still talking about Eren who was trying to straighten his body.

Jean's voice came out again, she didn't seem to have left after completing today's test.

"Hey! Let's stop watching, let's go!" After saying that, Marco Bott was trying to leave this place with Jean. However, a long hand grabbed Jean's shirt and dragged him out of the crowd.

Takashi's strength should not be underestimated, Jean who almost fell down because of Takashi's pull, shouted with his face reddened with fury, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Burst!"

Jean Kirstein wanted to say some words to show his authority, but Takashi was not a person who talked much and threw Jean to the ground.

Without throwing any punches, he used just the skill to make Jean fall down gently. 　　

Jean had a very good aptitude, but Takashi had some advantage because of the sneak attack and also his strength might be one of the best of all the recruits in the crowd, plus his different ways of acting and all the results he has shown so far.

"Inexperienced, too naive and if I hope to fight alongside this person later, it should show him who we will be in the future." Takashi looked at Jean with a cold expression.

With only skill, Jean stumbled and fell backwards to the ground, swallowing all the harsh words he was about to say. 　

Watching Takashi stand in front of Jean with a hard expression, he looked carelessly at the whole crowd. 　　

"Takashi! Stop, don't do it, this time I don't care what he says about me, you can't hit people or you will be punished."

"Takashi, you'll run out of food if you fight with that guy." Sasha came to Takashi's side and advised on how painful it would be to not eat dinner.

At Takashi's sudden action, Jean's good friend Marco Bott, who had been advising them to leave the place, feared what was happening now and was the first to react to stop Jean.

As Marco stopped Jean who was ready to fight, he looked at Takashi, fearing that he would still attack Jean, so he held out his hand for Takashi to stop.

"I admit that you are someone direct and quite possibly someone special in the future, but this kind of behavior I can't let go." Takashi looked at Marco Bott with a smile and then at Jean without moving from his place.

"I really have no intention of fighting, you can rest easy." Takashi looked at everyone and said, "If this is the shitty behavior you have with a comrade of yours in this training camp, I would advise you not to become soldiers."

"Our problems will be erased on the battlefield, no matter which legion each of you goes to, you should respect Eren who since entering the training corps has his clear vision to continue the fight against the titans." Takashi held out his hand and scolded angrily.

"We will be soldiers, teasing between friends is fine and disputes will be accepted. But teasing by others' misfortune, we can't condone such behavior among ourselves." Takashi said without hesitation, "I can assure that many of you will not finish the three-year training, but you will have my respect for trying to the end."

Jean Kirstein, who had long since calmed down, looked at Takashi with surprised eyes. To tell the truth, his comments were out of place a moment ago.

Takashi felt he was helping everyone, being a good soldier meant giving everything for the one next to him and in this world that meant everything. This time Takashi was nice, but looking at Mikasa who was ready to go in and fight, he can't assure that next time it will be something similar.

"Hmph...!" Jean Kirstein came out of the crowd with a snort, she had no words for this embarrassing situation. 　　

Takashi told the indignant young man to leave, after a while the crowd reacted to what had happened and showed embarrassed faces.

Takashi patted her shoulder and said to Marco: "I didn't have a choice this time, I'll talk to Jean later to work things out."

Marco Bott left with a nod as he heard Takashi's words.

After that, Takashi looked at everyone and said, "The show is over, reflect on your actions today and be someone better for tomorrow. If you ever need advice, help or just want to talk about your difficulties, you can come to me and you will receive everything I can do for you."

What to do in this situation?

Everyone was speechless as they listened to Takashi's lectures, as if suddenly looking at instructor Keith. However, the crowd gradually dispersed, they had been harassing Eren for some time, which was not impressive at all.

A certain blonde, cool blue-eyed beauty looked at Takashi again, of course not for him, but she thought the way he threw Jean had more technique than met the eye.

Eren, who was practicing adaptability on the balance equipment, was relieved.

Being surrounded by so many people and making a fool of himself is not a good experience, if it wasn't for being hung up on the equipment he would have done it himself. But seeing Takashi's actions, he couldn't have solved it better than his friend.

"Well, I hope you train now that there's no crowd around." Takashi smiled slightly and left with Sasha in search of food.

In the distance, instructor Keith and a silver-haired old man with glasses watched Takashi who was retreating from the training field.

"He was quick and straightforward, solved everything in a different way and showed everyone that he is willing to be a good leader." Said the silver-haired man.

"He passed today's test with relative ease, his talent can create change in this generation of soldiers." Keith said with a glare at Takashi.

...

Armin and Miaksa stayed by Eren's side to continue practicing the balance technique and help their friend pass the test tomorrow.

"Shall we rest first?" Mikasa grabbed Eren's hand and wanted him to stop and rest for a while.

"It's okay, I think I have what it takes to pass this test." Eren pushed Mikasa's hand away, wanting to keep practicing.

He motioned for Armin to continue, showing the true nature of a man who is the protagonist of his world.

Takashi felt nothing when he saw this scene from afar. He also respected Eren as a man and an indomitable person.

Eren Jaeger is a straight man of steel. Originally, his emotional intelligence was not high.

Takashi before leaving had reminded him of some tips for him to learn a little more about the test personality. It was known that adaptive training is mainly about how to maintain balance and put the weight of the body on the waist and soles of the feet.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with Eren's action skills, even if Mikasa has corrected him before.

Basically, he just repeated some nonsense.

"As for the broken belt, it's not urgent, it's just a loading exercise that will make him stronger." Takashi thought as he was about to eat his dinner.

"Takashi Ackerman!"

The familiar roar sounded, and Instructor Keith walked into the dining room and looked at Takashi.

"Come this instant!"

Takashi unconsciously turned around and saluted. Sasha hid with Takashi, she feared that they would drag her to a possible punishment where she would not have dinner again today.

"Is something wrong, sir?" asked Takashe respectfully.

"Nothing's wrong, boy, run around the field ten laps and finish before dinner!" Instructor Keith coldly ordered.

"Yes, sir! May I ask why?" Takashi expressed that he was a bit puzzled.

Why punish him, are you jealous of how handsome he is or because I had hair and he didn't?

Obviously, instructor Keith is not that boring: "Hey! You're someone really good, you fight on the first day of training, do you think I won't punish you for that?"

Takashi lost his temper but did nothing, the training corps was also an army, the commander gave an order and there was no room for negotiation.

He was a bit depressed and looked around before starting, he didn't see Instructor Keith present when he made his epic entrance earlier, so it was unlikely that he didn't know what he did.

Who is the mole?

After Takashi left, Instructor Keith approached Jean again who had a smile on his face and said, "Five laps around the camp!"

"What, why do you want me to join?" Jean looked puzzled.

"Are you asking me?" Instructor Keith looked at Jaen and said, "Ten laps."

"Damn it!" Jean walked outside with a depressed look on her face. Things really went wrong today, how did she find out if the instructor wasn't supposed to have been there at the time?

Who is the snitch?

Instructor Keith reminded everyone, "You will be punished in consequence for your violations, let this be the last time something like this happens."

Seeing that he was also punished, Takashi felt that his heart was calm now, his legs no longer hurt, his waist no longer ached, the day was calmer and the sun no longer burned his skin.

The sun really didn't burn his skin, after all, the sun has been setting for a while now!

"Hey, you sued me behind my back? I respect you for being a cadet, but you actually went to make a little report like a little kid!" Takashi looked at the sullen Jean beside him and started to spray his thoughts directly.

"What, who's going to report you!!! Didn't you secretly report me?" Hearing Takashi's words, Jean froze.

Don't even think about it, how could I make a report for such small things? Complaining is impossible, impossible in this life where dinner is important!

"I, Takashi Ackerman, I'm dying, I'm starving! I wasn't the one who reported this." Takashi thought with a dejected expression.

"Huh, it really wasn't you?" Takashi looked at him sideways.

"Impossible!" Jean denied with a look of disdain.

"He's someone very good at spying." Takashi thought for a moment, maybe Instructor Keith was eavesdropping from a distance... secretly watching, so he went straight to punish me and Jean was dragged in between.

Bald Keith is spending a little time off after training?

In fact, he thought too much. Instructor Keith had no time off. It was the same instructor who saw the dispute between him and Jean along with another instructor.

Takashi noticed that Keith wasn't there at the time, but he didn't notice that the old man with glasses and the bald instructor were looking not far away.

"So what about that?" looking at Takashi, who suddenly stopped talking, Jean felt a little guilty.

He wouldn't want to peel here, would he?

"Haha, nothing" Takashi looked at Jean and smiled to himself "I really appreciate you and I apologize!"

"What!"

What the hell, it made him look stunned, it was unreasonable, and the guy who attacked him earlier actually apologized for his actions.
