Chapter 14

When the trio of Titan shifters left, Eren was still standing behind the tree. He began to think about what he just heard. It wasn't really anything useful as he knew that this is what they already planned to do in the first place.

From now on, he decided to try and sneak up on them and listen to what they discuss about whenever they meet up. He didn't know when they would meet up again, but what he did know was that it was during the night and around this time.

He could just be wasting his time since what they talked about today was already information from Canon, but he reminded himself that he wouldn't take any chances.

He wouldn't be naive to think his knowledge of the Anime and Manga would be enough. Anything could change with what the Titan shifters decide to do. He would make sure he knew what they planned to do before it happened.

Eren also had to make sure that he wouldn't get caught by them. It would simply be a big problem if he were to get caught. They'd try to kill him and he obviously would fight back. As he is right now, he couldn't take those three on at the same time.

If he didn't get caught, they could come to the conclusion that somebody listened in on their conversation. That would also be a problem. They would speed up their plans for sure.

If Eren had to fight, Bertholdt would possibly only shift half his Titan body because of Reiner and Annie would be nearby. Fighting against Armored, Colossal and Female Titan at the same time would simply be too much for him with his current strength.

Even if Bertholdt didn't transform, what would happen if he just decided to eliminate everyone at the training camp while he was fighting Reiner and Annie. It was highly unlikely, but it was still a possible chance.

Annie with her crystal can easily take out his Titan right now, and Reiner with his armor would make it hard for him to take down.

He could use his energy with his Titan, but that would just make him run out of energy too fast which would make him just pass out mid battle.

If that ever happened, then it would probably be over for him. Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie would come to the conclusion that he had the long lost Attack Titan. They would either interrogate him and bring him back to Marley to get eaten, or one of them would eat him themselves and without knowing it, take the Founding Titan as well.

If that ever happened, then everyone within the walls was screwed. Including his friend Armin and including his girlfriend Mikasa.

Thinking it over, he definitely had to make sure that he wasn't caught. He knew in the years to come, he'll only get stronger.

Canon Eren in the manga, during the Marley arc he was able to fight off Warhammer Titan as well as the Jaw Titan at the same time, while successfully taking the Warhammer power.

He wanted to to be stronger than that, way more powerful. To the point where nothing in this world can take him down. He had to work hard to achieve that, but that was in the future. So Eren left to the cabin as he wanted to sleep.

[Next Day]

In a the middle of the forest, Eren and Mikasa could be seen standing right in front of each other in silence while keeping direct eye contact. If someone were to see this, they'd definitely find it creepy.

Right now, Mikasa was talking to Eren with his mind reading ability, while he attempted to talk back, but wasn't making any progress. Since he hasn't discovered any new abilities, he decided to train the current ones he had to its full capability.

After today's training, Eren asked Mikasa to help him train his abilities. Mikasa was more than happy to agree as he almost never asked her to help him with his powers. Eren always trained those alone.

"Dammit, it's still not working" Eren said as he backed away from Mikasa and leaned his back against a tree. Attempting to do the same thing for the pass 30 minutes with no success was quite frustrating. He still would not give up though, as he believed he could do it.

Mikasa saw that he was frustrated with himself so she walked up to him and pressed her lips onto his. When she pulled away, she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his green eyes.

"What was that for Mika?" Eren asked as he recovered from her sudden kiss. He was a little surprised because it was usually him who initiated their kisses. He wasn't going to complain though.

Eren put his arms around her waist and stared back at her. "You looked a little stressed and I wanted to calm you" Mikasa said as Eren hugged her tighter.

"I was happy you asked me to help you today. Sometimes I feel like I won't be useful for what you have planned."

It was true, ever since Eren told her his plans, she began training hard to help him. But sometimes she'd question whether he would even need her. Eren has already easily surpassed her in strength and she wasn't even that much stronger than Annie.

Eren heard what she was thinking. So he pulled her away and put his hands on her cheek.

"Mika, don't think that. Of course I'm going to need you so don't worry. If you're really so worried about your strength, then I'll up your training." Eren said as he kissed her head.

When he pulled back, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Eren!" Mikasa shouted as she bent down to him.

A couple minutes passed by and when the pain in his eyes stopped, Eren got up and looked at Mikasa, who was naked?

"Mika....."
