Chapter 3: 104th Recruit Induction Ceremony
In the evening, Wren and Alan had already greeted each other, and then another blonde boy named Thomas Wagner moved in, and the four of them were all in the dormitory, and the four of them would live here for three years.
To be honest, Wren has no impression of who Thomas is, but even if he is a roommate, Wren still wants him to live longer, which is already a blessing in this fucking world.
"Damn, how do you get this belt, you can't wear your pants!" Alan tried on the uniform with an irritated face, the uniform of the training corps was indeed very troublesome to wear for the first time, especially those belts were really difficult to get.
However, these cannot be removed, and in the future, when using a stereoscopic device, these belts will help to adjust posture and balance in the air.
Wren sorted out the belts on these clothes and slowly put on the uniform: "Alan, don't worry, I've already put it on, it shouldn't be wrong, I'll teach you." ”
"Great, I'm going crazy!" Alan was a little happy when he heard this, he had been wearing it for more than ten minutes, during which the belt had been mistaken several times, and he had lost his patience.
On the other side, Amin also got it done, and was instructing Thomas how to wear it, Thomas laughed at himself: "I rushed to be a soldier, I almost couldn't even get a piece of clothing, brothers, don't tell me about today's events." "Thomas has a gentle and casual personality, and he is a very easy person to get along with.
Under Wren's guidance, Alan finally put on the training uniform, and the whole person looked full of energy: "Don't worry, I don't want others to know about it." ”
The four of them chatted a few words, and Thomas made a pot of black tea with the hot water he had brought and poured a cup for everyone.
Wren drank black tea, well, it tasted pretty good, Thomas was from the Tholoster district of Urn City in the south of Rose's Wall, and he was also from the city, his father was a carpenter, his family was okay, and he claimed to be a soldier because of his interest.
"What are you here for?" Thomas put down his glass and asked.
"To see the outside world." Amin replied casually.
"To expel (kill) all the giants!"
"Count me in, I'm pretty much the same."
Alan was stunned and looked at the other party in surprise, Wren knew that Alan was here to join the Survey Corps to expel the giants, and his goal was the same, the difference was that his reason was much simpler.
Nothing else, just looking for something to do.
In fact, the original Wren also had the idea of joining the survey corps to expel the giants, because his father was killed because of the influx of refugees and the difficulty of catching prey deep into the forest, and the essential reason was that the giants took away the wall of Mary, and mankind lost a large area of land! It's just that he died before he could recruit someone.
And after he passed through, he couldn't be a shrinking turtle without even seeing a giant, and it might not be safe to stay behind.
He really doesn't know much about the world, but he is much better than ordinary people.
No matter how powerful the giant is, you have to fight it to know!
Alan was pleasantly surprised, he came on the first day of registration, and he stayed here for four days, and it was not that he hadn't talked to others, not to mention that there was anyone with the same goal as him, and it was polite to hear his ambitions and not ridicule them.
"Wren, why do you think that? You seem to be inside the walls of Rouse, right? Amin asked curiously.
"That's right, but I'm a hunter, and I've been living alone since my father died two years ago, and now, the only forest I own, is also gradually disappearing, and I'm homeless!" That's right, he is already homeless, whether it is the original Wren or the current Wren, he has nothing.
Of course, he couldn't say anything about his own business, and Wren told them some of the experiences of the original body.
"You said you lived hunting alone at the age of ten, and you spent two years like this?" Thomas was a little shocked, he didn't know how to hunt, but he knew how hard it was, especially now that the forest area was so reduced.
Alan and Amin also looked at Wren in surprise, because they were not 12 years old before, they had actually been going to open up the wasteland for two years, although they had a hard time, but they could barely have food supplies.
Wren smiled and didn't say much, the original Wren was indeed very strong, even with the help of the villagers, it was very difficult for a ten-year-old child to make a living by hunting.
Some people have already done their best just to live, and that's what they're talking about!
He, a traverser, actually admired him very much, Wren died of his stubbornness, died of his stubbornness to protect the forest as a hunter, if he went to open up the wasteland, maybe he would not die.
Partly because the giants had conquered the Wall of Mary and the influx of refugees into the forest had dwindled, he ventured deep into the forest to hunt and get a boxed lunch.
"Then let's work together to join the Survey Corps!" Alan said excitedly, stretching out his hand.
"It's a deal!" Wren shook Allen's hand and agreed to fight together, but Allen didn't realize that his teammates were a bit pitied.
At the end of the day, Wren was actually only 16 years old, and although he used to be a fighter, he was still a teenager and not very mature.
Many people don't know that they agreed on the first day they met, although their starting points are different!
Chairman Ai: There is only one theme, freedom! Freely! Freely!
Mr. Lei: It means that there is no negotiation?
Amin was a little happy for Alan, Thomas just smiled and didn't speak, joining the Survey Corps or something, he still felt a little crazy, how could humans defeat giants?
Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to defeat giants, but monsters can!
The next day, the instructors talked about uniforms, standing postures, and most importantly the "heart-give" salute, in which the right hand is clenched into a fist and fingers pointing up in front of the heart in the left chest.
Wren observed the training ground, which was surrounded by a crater, and there were about 300 people on the field, and today was the last day of registration.
This hasn't started training yet.,Tomorrow there will be a recruit joining ceremony.,After the joining ceremony.,Immediately enter the training mode.,There are only two days off at the end of the month.,It's called devil training!
The elimination rate, disability rate, and mortality rate are relatively high, and to put it mildly, it would be nice to have people in their early 200s who successfully graduated.
The training corps is also an army, do you think it's here to play? The soldiers trained here are soldiers who can fight with giants, of course, whether they have the courage to investigate the corps after graduation is another matter, in short, the training is very strict.
Just now, the black-bald instructor on the stage, who called himself Keith Shadis, said that he would train their group of boys and girls fiercely, so that Ren and them would know what military training is!
There is nothing superfluous today, Wren made the bed, Thomas is his top bunk, Alan is also on the lower bunk, Allen's good friend, the cute boy Amin is Allen's top bunk.
The four of them cleaned the small dormitory again, and they were relatively lucky, many of them had to squeeze into the large dormitory.
The next day, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, 317 training soldiers wore uniforms, lined up in a phalanx, standing on the large playground, today is the joining ceremony, after today, they will officially start training.
More than a dozen instructors stood in front of everyone, and then, a middle-aged man with a black bald head in a military uniform walked to the high platform, looked at the group of recruits and said loudly: "Today is the 104th batch of recruits joining the regiment, and I am Keith Shadis, who was unlucky enough to be sent to supervise you." I'll tell you, I'm not welcome to you at all! Now you are the livestock, the food of the giants!
We will spend three years training you and teaching you the art of fighting the giants, and after three years, standing in front of the giants, it will be up to you to decide whether you will still be food, or become the wall of honor of the guardian king, or the glorious soldiers who will expel the giants! ”
After Instructor Keith finished speaking, he asked some training soldiers who had witnessed giants eating people to stand up and stand aside, Wren glanced at it, there were about two dozen people, these people had seen the horror of giants, including Eren and Mikasa.
As for the remaining nearly three hundred people, I'm sorry, they will soon be scared by Instructor Keith and doubt their lives!
