Chapter 11: It is said that it is customary to become an instructor
In 845, the district of Higanshina, at the southern end of Maria's Wall, was broken through by super-large giants, and a large number of giants invaded.
On the same day, an armored giant suspected of possessing intelligence and a giantess resembling a female that had never been found to be.
Blocked by Su Mo, one of the twin blades of mankind, the local residents successfully took refuge in the development area.
However, the Armored Giants eventually broke through Maria's Wall, and it was pointless to hit the Armored Giants, the Giantesses, and the Oversized Giants one by one.
Humanity has lost a third of its territory.
Allen's father, Grisha Yeyer, disappeared with Carl after injecting Allen with an unknown drug.
In 846, the royal government launched an operation known as the Recapture of the Wall of Maria, essentially a brutal policy to solve the population problem caused by massive unemployment and food shortages, sending some 250,000 people on an expedition for which almost all of them were wiped out, including Ermin's grandfather.
In 847, the 104th Training Corps was formed, and Allen, Mikasa, Ermin, and others joined the training corps squad in the southern region of the Rossi Wall.
"I ask you, who are you!" Under the hot sun, the male-faced instructor asked the person in front of him in an unkind tone.
The instructor's name was Keith Shadis, with a large bald head, dark skin, several deep wrinkles carved on his forehead caused by long-term frowning, and deep sunken eye sockets surrounded by dark circles under his eyebrow sockets, and a brown-green trench coat-like uniform that looked particularly serious on him.
"Yes!" With his left hand behind his back and his right hand clenched into a fist before striking his heart, the blonde boy gave a military salute and then said loudly: "Higanshina is from Ermin Yaruret!" ”
"yes, what a stupid name! Did your parents give you the acquisition?!! The instructor's voice was loud, with a gritty tone with merciless mockery.
"It's my grandfather's name for me!" Ermin trembled, but mustered up the courage to reply aloud.
"Aruret, what are you doing here?!" Bending down, the instructor approached Emin with his back to the sun.
- It was oppressive, at least Elmin was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted almost to herself: "For the victory of humanity!" ”
"That's great, please be a giant snack!" The instructor's golden pupils shrunk and stared at Emin tightly.
"The third column! Turn back! Grabbing Ermin's head, the instructor turned him behind him.
"Wow, Instructor Keith is so fierce." Standing on the high ground next to the training ground, Su Mo looked down and made an inappropriate sound.
"Captain Keith, this look is really nostalgic." Beside Su Mo, Erwin, whose voice was thick and calm, said.
"Commander?" Su Mo was puzzled.
"Ah, by the way, you came later. As you know, I'm the thirteenth generation commander of the Survey Corps, and Captain Keith is the twelfth generation. He was so strict with us at the beginning. Erwin couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.
"Eh, I didn't think that you were the previous head of the regiment. In other words, what he is doing now is [baptism]. Su Mo led the conversation to what was being done in the training ground.
"Yes, constantly intimidating and scaring recruits, making them deny their previous selves, so as to cultivate talents suitable for being soldiers from scratch, this is [baptism]! You listen. Erwin said, and at this time, the Keith instructor below also said demonic words.
"No, you're from a pigsty, and your name is not as good as a beast!"
"Yes! I'm not as good as a brute! The dark-skinned girl who was yelled at was so frightened that her face was covered with sweat, and she replied incoherently.
Seeing this, Su Mo reluctantly spoke: "It's really strict, but for these people who haven't experienced the invasion of giants, it's also lucky!" They only need to experience the insults and denials of the instructor, while the [baptism] of others is much more cruel, such as witnessing their relatives and friends being devoured by giants, etc., that kid, I go, I really won't die if I don't die. As he was talking, when he saw the next scene, Su Mo was thundered half to death.
"I ask you! Who are you! The instructor still asked.
The young man, covered in cold sweat and hairstyled like a little monk, replied, "Coney Springer! South of Rossi's Wall, from the village of Lagaco! "He gave a military salute, well, left hand in front and right hand in the back
"On the contrary, Kearny Springer" The instructor grabbed Kearny's monk-like head with both hands and lifted him up directly, because he was too hard, the corners of Kone's eyes were pulled high, which looked very funny.
It's not funny at all though.
"I should have taught you first, how to salute and tell you that this means giving your heart to all mankind, is your heart on the right side, ah?!!" The instructor's expression was like that of a demon, and the corners of Kony's mouth were tilted as he was being caught, drooling uncontrollably and making a faint staccato sound.
And at this moment, something happened that made the corners of Su Mo and Erwin's eyes twitch
"Click." There was a crisp sound, attracting the attention of the demonic instructor.
"Click." The instructor's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Click." It was a young girl, with brown and red hair tied into a ponytail, standing at the front of the line, eating potatoes.
That's right, she's eating potatoes, and in this serious atmosphere, she's eating potatoes like no one else.
With the ghostly expressions of Allen, Ermin, and the others, the instructor casually dropped Kony and walked towards the girl.
"Hey, you, what are you doing." His voice was lowered, obviously under the hot direct sun, but the trainers felt that the instructor's voice was as cold as the cold wind blowing from the Nine Hells.
however
The girl glanced to the side a few times, and then took a bite of the potato with a cold sweat on her face.
It seems that she doesn't understand the atmosphere, but, girl, it turns out that food is above all else in your eyes?
"It's you! It's you! I'm asking you, who are you!! At the girl, the instructor roared.
The girl was startled, then swallowed the potato in her mouth and gave a military salute: "South of the Rossi Wall, from the village of Dapa, Sasha Blaus!" ”
"Sasha Blaus, what do you hold in your right hand?"
"Steamed potatoes, I saw them steamed in the cooking room, so I got my hands on them"
"Are you, stolen, why, why are you eating potatoes now." With his back to the sun, the instructor was expressionless.
"It would be a pity if it cooled, so I judged that I should eat it now." Sasha looked serious.
"No, I don't understand, why are you eating potatoes." The instructor's voice sounded calm. There was a wind in the training ground, a very dry wind, blowing dust and carrying up fallen leaves.
Sasha's expression became a little embarrassed, and then he instantly turned into a philosopher: "Are you asking me, why do people eat potatoes?" ”
"It's a ghost!!" This is the common voice of all trainees.
The instructor didn't reply, and his face turned pitch black.
However, as if something suddenly came to mind, Sasha reluctantly broke off a small piece of potato, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to the instructor: "Please, come half." ”
"Half?" The instructor took the potato in a daze, and his expression became cute for a moment.
"It's dead, girl."
"Well, it's dead." This is Su Mo and Erwen with blank faces.
Sure enough, that night, Sasha Blause was not allowed to stop until he was half dead, and he was not allowed to eat dinner.
Although, everyone felt that when they heard that there was no dinner, Sasha had a "still let me die" expression on her face.
The next day
"What are you doing! Alan Yeyer! Straighten up!! Half-crouching, Instructor Keith yelled at Allen.
What is now being done is a three-dimensional mobility adaptation exercise, in which two ropes are attached to the belts on the trainees' uniforms and then hoisted to see if they can maintain their balance.
This training is more important than hard work, and what is more important is quality.
The vast majority of people can pass easily, but there are a few exceptions, and Alan is the most exceptional.
Completely unable to maintain balance, as soon as I was pulled up, I turned my head upside down.
Alan's expression was now dull and hard to believe.
Myself, join the Survey Corps, and expel all the giants, can't I realize my dream?
"Haha, last night he said he was going to join the Survey Corps! You can't even complete such a simple training, and even if you go to the battlefield, you can only make a giant's snack! ”
"yes, yes, a kid who only talks big."
Many people looked at him, mocking, and sneering.
Alan was not reconciled, so he tried again and again to straighten up, but all he reaped was failure.
That's what quality is
And just when the instructor wanted to give up and was about to put Alan down, a clear voice sounded from the side.
"Give him a different belt, Instructor Keith."
The trainees turned to look in the direction from which the voices came, and then the voices of worship came and went.
"It's Captain Su Mo!! Real people! ”
"Liar, how could Captain Su Mo, one of the strongest in the human race, come here!"
"So handsome"
"Ah, you're here." The instructor didn't seem surprised by Su Mo's arrival: "But what does it mean to change a belt for Alan Yeyer?" ”
"It's never happened before, but I've seen a lot of strange things lately, Allen's belt is broken, so he can't keep his balance."
"yes, I said, well, Wagner, swap belts with Yeagle!"
"Yes!"
So, of course, Alan succeeded.
"Thank you very much, Captain Su Mo!!" Alan who came down looked grateful: "You saved me for the second time!" ”
"Ah, it's okay, you're going to join the Survey Corps to drive out all the giants, don't forget." Su Mo rubbed Allen's hair and said.
"Yes!" A heavy military salute was given.
Then
"Assemble!!" Instructor Keith shouted.
After the training soldiers were assembled, he said, "Perhaps, you will wonder why Captain Su Mo, who is the strongest human being, is here, it's very simple! Because of the weakness of human beings!! As trainers, you are the hope of humanity, and what we need is to train you to be stronger! ”
After a pause, looking at some of the recruits who suddenly realized and some who were still puzzled, the instructor continued: "You are very lucky, because such a powerful person appeared two people at once!" So you have the opportunity to be taught by one of them! That's right, Captain Su Mo is here to serve as your combat skills instructor! However, as one of the two aces of the Survey Corps, he doesn't have much time to play children's games with you, you only have one day a month to learn from him, everyone has to take it seriously! Do you understand!! ”
"Understood!" The sound is neat and loud.
Almost all of the recruits were excited, after all, there was the strongest human to guide them.
But there are three exceptions.
It was two men and a woman, and their expressions were full of horror as they looked at Su Mo
