I knocked on Keith Shadis's office door, located among the many rooms in the Boot Camp. The wooden door creaked open and the strong face of Keith Shadis was revealed, he was sitting on his table with his hands folded and it looked like he had... visitors?
The first visitor was a short man and although he had a small stature, His handsomeness was unmistakable as well as the wings of Freedom on his back... He was Uncle ahem Captain Levi.
And the second visitor was a redhead woman, her shoulder-length red hair flowing and her deep blue eyes causing a certain attraction... Yes, She was beautiful... Yes, She had a beautiful front and back and Yes... She is going to be in my harem. She was Isabel and although this wasn't the first time we were meeting each other, I of course as a man of women had plans for her too.
I smiled but no one smiled back, their faces were as stoic as hell. Keith's commanding voice echoed through the room...
"Cadet Aeron Ares... You are a suspect-"
Before he could finish, Isabel let out a grunt and moved forward. Power bolstering in her every movement as she withdrew the blades from her ODM gear, my reaction was quick and I was able to perceive every movement she was able to make but for some reason... I didn't dodge.
No, I felt that it would prove their point exactly but I didn't know what they were trying to prove. Isabel sprung forward, her eyes seemingly glowing as she stuck a leg forward and kicked me in the knee, I fell backward and hit the ground while Isabel got on my lap, her blade aimed straight for my neck.
It all happened in mere seconds and I was amazed by the power of the Scout... She really had a lot of room to improve though but her movements were deadly. What if the entire Levi squad was trained like that in the original? The first Levi squad wouldn't have died so easily against the Female Titan, Annie.
But that blade was dangling dangerously close to my neck by the way, It's almost like she was trying to kill-
My thoughts staggered as the blade pierced the skin of my right hand, it wasn't deep but I gave a shout even though it didn't hurt that much...
Isabel withdrew her blade and blood rushed out of the wound, painting the ground below my hand. I can't believe that they would try something like this...
I pushed off Isabel and staggered back, keeping my act together. The tension in the air was thick and I on the other hand had simply discovered that they were trying to narrow down the suspect of the Forest thing with Reiner and the other shifters. It didn't make any sense though, Why use me?
My eyes went to Levi as he saw the fear in the purple orbs locked onto his figure, his expression softened but only for a moment and then my eyes went to Isabel... I looked at the corner and saw a Knife, carrying it and pointing it at them.
"Don't come... any closer," I stuttered, my back suddenly hitting the wooden door, "Don't hurt me more than you already have,"
It was obvious that Hange thought I had something to do with that and probably thought I was a Titan in hiding... Levi who cared more about Erwin had carried through with the plan but they aren't aware... that the Titan shifter powers can easily be neutralized.
The blood seeped out of the wound and my hand with the knife trembled, a 5-star no fuck that, 15 star performance.
"You are supposed to be my uncle, Aren't you?" My eyes changed, flashing with rage, "Why'd you let her stab me or are you concerned with your so-called sister rather than me?"
My eyes trailed to the knife and I gritted my teeth before tossing it at Levi, of course I was doing it to see his reaction.
And as I expected of the greatest soldier mankind had to offer, he caught the knife with two fingers preventing it from ever making contact with his face and then his emotions trembled.
"Sorry," The words escaped Levi's lips as abruptly as possible, his emotions wavered but I had dropped to my knees.
"You don't care about me..." I blamed and his eyes widened, Slowly from the ground... I turned to look at him and he felt something, a terrible amount of bloodlust emanating from my eyes... all directed at him, "You don't care about me one bit,"
"I do," Levi said, his voice trembling.
He had never displayed this amount of emotion before... Never had Levi hesitated to accomplish a mission before but right now, A sudden fear gripped his heart. He had willingly allowed Isabel to hurt Anna's child.
Everything was working in my favor, All I had to do was to keep this bleeding stable and maybe let more blood out before pretending to lose consciousness or I could storm off... Either one of the two would be bone-crushing for Levi.
I wasn't ready to come clean as a Titan shifter yet, especially since it's been a long time... I haven't seen how tall my Titan was right now, and besides I planned to at least eat the Armored or the Colossal Titan during the Fall of Wall Maria arc and then use the others as a gate to bring the other Titan shifters to Paradis Island.
"Are we going to do something about that blood?" Keith suggested, the wound was still pouring out. Mostly, because I was inwardly applying more pressure to it. Besides, I could always restore my blood using my power.
"Umm, Aeron..." Isabel started, "Sorry too,"
"Sorry doesn't hack it, would sorry heal this up?!" I asked, lashing out on Isabel.
She was speechless but she noticed something and leapt forward, Just in time as my eyes rolled back and my face bent forward smashing into the ground below me, painting it with my blood.
"Aeron!" She screamed out, horrified.
