*Sound of wire being shot*
Asriel zoomed towards a small training dummy titan and quickly cut of the nape, used the momentum and shot another wire towards a medium titan's leg portion and cut it off while shooting another wire towards the nape which pulled him towards it, cutting it off. He used the gas to give himself a boost as he went to the next target. He saw a medium titan quickly spinning around so he latched onto a nearby tree and waited for a good opportunity to subjugate it. After a while he jumped towards it and used the gas to propell himself and cut off the nape, earning himself 5 points. He could destroy the leg portion but thought while he was destroying the leg portion someone else might come and cut the nape earning themselves 5 points while he, only getting one point. Afterwards, he quickly rushed towards the other training dummies. On his way he would sometime kill steal others' when they were trying to destroy the leg portions or were just not fast enough or the cut was not deep enough to be a complete subjugation. He managed to subjugate 5 small titans, 10 medium titans along with the leg portions and 5 abnormals or spinning-faster-than-normal titans, 3 with their leg portions. With only 1 minute left Asriel went to find another titan in a slow pace since he already had enough points to get into the top 3. When he first calculated his points he didn't know whether to laugh or cry since it added up to be 69 points. [I didn't do this on purpose! I swear it was a coincidence!] Asriel thought. *Author's Note(AN): I was surprised as well*
While he was going towards the next titan dummy using his map, he saw Mikasa was also heading towards the same place followed by Annie. It seems they were competting on who arrives first at that place and subjugate any titan there, if there was any. Asriel not wanting to be left behind, quickly caught up to them, surprising them.
" Hey girls, how are you doing." asked Asriel with an amused smile.
" Eru!" " Asriel!" (Mikasa and Annie)
" There's definitely a dummy in front so who's gonna get it? hmm?" (Asriel)
" I'll definitely get!" (Mikasa)
" Heh, not if I get it first!" (Annie)
" Tsk!" (Mikasa)
" Aren't you forgetting someone?" asked Asriel with a smile. He didn't wait for their replies and dashed straight towards the training dummy which was now in sight. Mikasa and Annie also rushed forward to take the kill. The dummy was an abnormal one with it spinning extremely fast. The seniors who were spinning the titan were tired but complied when Keith asked them to make it harder for the 3 people who were approching them fast. Asriel arrived first but waited for Mikasa and Annie seeing that this dummy was faster than the previous abnormal dummies and Keith was nearby.
" This dummy will give you 10 points if you managed to subjugate it!" yelled Keith from a nearby tree. Asriel moved to a better position while Mikasa and Annie did the same. They were in a triangle formation hanging from the side of the trees, with the dummy in the centre. They watched each other trying to see who moves first. *PISHHH sound of gas* All three of them moved at the same time, using the gas to give themselves a boost. Asriel moved faster than the other two with Mikasa being the second closest to the dummy. Seeing this Annie gave up half way and shot a wire to a nearby tree, backing up. Asriel was about to reach the nape but before he did he shot a wire to the leg portion and changed his direction. Mikasa was surprised for a second but managed to pull herself together and cut the nape while Asriel destroyed the leg portion.
*BANG*
A black smoke was seen rising into the air, signaling the end of the examination. All the trainees gathered togather in front of the entry of the forest, waiting for the results of the examination.
" Alright since all of you are here I will now announce the results of the examination! The three people who are in the top 3 are Mikasa Akerman with 78 points! Asriel with 70 points! And Annie Leonhart with 68 points! Talk with the seniors who are in charge of the dinning hall for your rewards! That is all! Dismissed! " (Keith)
When they were dismissed the trainees started to crowd around the three, congratulating them. Some of them were trying to butter up to them so that they could get some meat as well. Sasha on the other hand was literally begging Mikasa on her knees. Mikasa totally ignored her and went to find Asriel. Annie ignored all the trainees and went straight back to the barracks but not before looking at Asriel for a while. Asriel was also dealing with other trainees but managed to get himself away from them with an excuse after seeing Mikasa coming towards him.
" Yo, Mikasa, great job getting first." said Asriel with a warm smile.
" Why did you let me take the kill?" asked Mikasa with a tiny bit of anger in her voice. Tiny, cause she didn't want to be too angry at him.
" Hmm? What are you talking about it was you who did the kill." replied Asriel with a mischivious smile.
" Eru!" (Mikasa)
" Well...I wanted to know what you will make me do since you were so flustered when I mentioned the reward of the bet. You were so cute that I can't help but wanting to know about it." Asriel got close to her and whispered in a husky voice into her ears. Mikasa's face was now red and her head steaming while she lowered her head into her scarf. While he was flirting with Mikasa the other guy trainees were giving him death glares while the girl trainees were envious of Mikasa, which includes Christa.
" So what will you make me do, Mikasa?" whispered Asriel.
" I.....I.....d..don't know....E...Eru...w..wh..what...are....you doing...." replied Mikasa in a tiny voice while unconciously buring her head in Asriel neck since he was close to her and her hands holding on to the front of his clothes. By this time all the trainees were already gone and they were alone by themselves with the sun set in the background.
" Hmm? You don't know? Why don't I help you decide? *Fuuuu*" whispered Asriel while blowing softly into her ears. Her body shook and trembled ever so slightly while her hands clutched onto his clothes with more strength. Her head snuggling in his neck, softly nuzzling against him.
" Eru~" Mikasa softly said with much affection in her voice while rubbing her head into him as if she was trying to leave her scent. Asriel was already holding her in an embrace, keeping her warm and safe. He softly petted her head and ran his fingers through her soft silky hair which smelt like lilies and undid her ponytail and let her hair freely fall down her sholders. He once again ran his fingers through her hair, gently brushing her hair.
" Nn....Eru~" she shivered again, as she felt a tingly feeling down her spine. She loved that feeling and wanted more. Asriel lifted her up in a princess carry and walked towards the base of a tree. He sat down and put Mikasa on his lap while leaning his back onto the tree. She leaned onto him with her whole body and hugged him, resting her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. She was relaxed and felt all her exhaustion and fatigue were slowly going away. [If only time would stop and I could stay like this with Eru forever.] thought Mikasa.
" Let me brush your hair for you Mikasa, just relax and enjoy it." said Asriel while giving her a affectionate smile. He bought an expensive looking but really soft and effective hair brush from Ada, one which wouldn't hurt the scalp when brushing the hair. With it he started to softly brush her hair, slowly and affectionately. She started giving out soft moans as she was totally and completely relaxed and she felt good. Soon she started to get drowsy and slowly fell asleep with a satisfied smile on her beautiful face.
I don't know if I should continue with doing a harem or not. I'm not confident to write various other people's behaviours and interactions with MC to be completely satisfactory. *sigh* I guess I'll rewatch the anime to get some insights. BUT! but Annie is definitely going to be with MC! I loved her character both her appearance and her personality. Shame she didn't get much screen time.
