121 TTW Chapter 121: How to Kill

Paradis Island.

The location of the Rose Wall, the training ground for the training corps, is set up in a secluded area in the rear mountains, heavily guarded.

Here, the soldiers will learn various knowledge about Titans, as well as a series of combat skills and training.

Soldiers who pass the training will eventually be assigned to diffKristat corps based on their performance.

The top ten performers can choose where they want to go, while those who fail to meet the standards will be directly dismissed and become laborers.

These two days mark the opening ceremony of the training corps, and many soldiers are experiencing the training of the vertical maneuvering equipment for the first time. Most of them have never seen Titans and are unaware of their terrifying nature.

They still fantasize about using the vertical maneuvering equipment one day to slay Titans.

Among the crowd, two members are particularly notable.

One is a girl named Mikasa, who became the top performer on the first day of training with excellent combat skills. She is a natural talent in using the vertical maneuvering equipment.

The other is a 'boy' named Krista, with blond hair and a seemingly delicate appearance. Although she appears timid, she can still stand stable in the air using the vertical maneuvering equipment.

Night falls.

It's a rare resting time for the soldiers of the training corps.

After two days of training, everyone has more or less gotten to know each other and formed their own small teams.

Krista's combat skills once again placed her near the bottom today, and she didn't even spar with any of the girls. During dinner, she didn't appear in the cafeteria.

"Where's Krista?" Mikasa asked proactively.

At sixteen years old, her childishness has completely disappeared, replaced by a commanding presence. Wearing a neat military uniform, her abdominal muscles are visible, and her sleek black hair is quite eye-catching.

With her strength and appearance, she naturally attracts the attention of many boys.

"Mikasa, why bother with that coward? He can't even hold a knife properly. How could someone like him deal with Titans?" a boy with gray short hair spoke, his name is Jean, another outstanding trainee in the corps.

While his performance is nowhere near Mikasa's, his actions show that he's been captivated by her.

But Mikasa has no interest in him; she ignores him and simply takes a plate of food from the cafeteria and leaves.

"She's always alone."

Other soldiers on the side whispered about Mikasa's antisocial behavior.

"Yeah, she's really strange, always carrying around a box. I wonder what's inside."

Jean considered chasing after her for a moment but decided against it.

Mikasa searched for a while and finally found Krista sitting cross-legged in the training ground, looking up at the night sky, lost in thought.

"Tomorrow's training will be more intense. You should eat something. If your stamina can't keep up, you'll fall further behind," Mikasa said calmly as she placed the plate next to him, preparing to leave.

Krista looked up in surprise, sensing the complex relationship Mikasa had with her since she entered the training camp. She didn't think it was due to her charm that she paid attention to her.

"Mikasa, am I useless? Someone like me doesn't have the ability to fight Titans. Maybe I should go to the mines or something..." Krista mumbled to herself.

Mikasa paused for a moment, halted her steps, and interrupted him.

"I haven't fought Titans, so I can't say for sure what abilities are needed to fight them. But if you have enough conviction, I don't think anything would be a problem."

"If we're going to attribute everything to talent, then I'm probably the one without talent."

"How could that be? Mikasa, your performance is excellent." Krista took her words as comfort and smiled bitterly. She considered her a friend for now. "Mikasa, have you used the vertical maneuvering equipment before? I can tell from your skills that you've been trained."

Mikasa, having been trained by Lin Yi, is undoubtedly far more skilled than in the original story.

Mikasa shook her head. With a slight movement of her icy brow, she retraced her steps, returned to Krista, and sat down beside him.

"Then, Mikasa, you really have a lot of talent. After graduating, have you decided which corps to join?"

Mikasa shook her head. She had learned about Krista's identity from Lin Yi. She didn't want to deceive this pitiable princess. 

"I won't join any corps."

"Because he said he doesn't need soldiers who can fight Titans."

Krista was puzzled, not understanding. But before she could react, a silver flash suddenly appeared.

"Clang!"

Krista didn't even see what the silver flash was. Suddenly, a metallic clash echoed. Mikasa's lightning-fast actions drew her blade and stood ready.

Krista was a beat slower. Upon seeing the fallen cold arrow, he realized that Mikasa had deflected it with her blade in an instant.

Impressive swordsmanship.

Krista smiled wryly. She had gotten used to these situations, even after hiding her identity, she was eventually found out.

"Meddling brat."

From the darkness emerged several figures with masked faces, surrounding them from various directions.

Krista's true identity was, of course, Princess Historia, also the last descendant of the Eldian King Fritz, the only heir.

"Mikasa, run, don't worry about me."Historia gritted her teeth and spoke shakily.

Perhaps she wanted to show some loyalty in front of this purposefully sought-out 'friend.' She never had friends and never dared to make any.

She was afraid of exposing her identity.

But Mikasa paid her no heed. It was her duty, her time to demonstrate her value.

"I've never killed Titans or fought them before."

"But since I was twelve, I've been training…"

Mikasa stood her ground, assuming a combat stance. She didn't have the Ackerman power with her. Against these foes, she didn't need it.

She had brought the Ackerman power into the training corps as a precaution, as Lin Yi had mentioned the enemies who could transform into Titans.

"How to kill."

Her cold voice dropped, and Mikasa lunged forward, her figure elusive, her speed agile.
