Chapter 16: The Disillusioned Instructor
The sun was setting, the golden wheat sun was shining all over the earth, and the playground of the training corps was full of scarcity, the oldest of these people had just passed the eighteenth birthday, and their faces were respectful, hateful, and confused, but the only thing missing was immaturity.
The environment can make everything, and war can make people learn to mature prematurely, and this is obviously the most true expression.
Just standing there, without any words, the kind of attention salute with some military temperament was already suppressed and difficult to breathe, Lin Xiu still walked slowly towards the temporary wooden platform, his expression was unwavering, and his steps sank into the lake, and Sun Jingxue, who followed him, was not so relaxed.
She really couldn't believe that this kind of momentum could be exuded by a group of half-grown children, and it wasn't that they deliberately wanted to get off the horse, but the moment they stood here and chose to join the training corps, they already had an understanding of war and an understanding of death.
This kind of mood is completely different from Sun Jingxue, who has been living in peacetime, although she has come to this death game reluctantly, but the state of mind that was innate and infected by the general environment cannot be reversed in a day or two.
On the way here, she was more or less afraid and worried, and she had a little bit of joy to meet these characters she had seen on TV, this kind of thing was simply a fantasy before, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't yearn for it, as if she saw those stars.
She even fantasized about whether she would go to Mikasa? Arman asked for an autograph or something, after all, in the original world. This is an existence similar to that of a celebrity lady. That calm and beautiful woman. Maybe it's the object of every girl's heart.
When I met Levi, because I was surrounded by giants all around, at that moment, let alone to sign an autograph, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu appeared, I am afraid she would have no time to take care of him, in front of her own life, these ethereal things could not be cared about at all. Only when you are completely detached from that environment can you think about these irrelevant things.
Only at this moment, she suddenly found that her breathing was accelerating, the oppressive atmosphere made her chest tight, the temporary high platform was made of wood, and she couldn't even hear the sound of grinding teeth from the wooden staircase except for the sound of her own heartbeat.
She really didn't know why all this was done in Lin Xiu so smoothly and naturally. It's like I'm used to it, don't you say? Can you go through two more games to train your nerves so differently?
It felt like a century had passed, and when he finally stepped on this makeshift wooden platform, the soldiers guarding here saluted Lin Xiu politely, took a step back, and motioned for Lin Xiu to start speaking.
Lin Xiu is okay, but Sun Jingxue behind her is like a weak woman who has never been on the battlefield and has not been trained, and is not even as strong as the aura of these trained soldiers, which is somewhat strange in the eyes of this group of half-grown children, and Lin Xiu, whether it is height or physique, is far from as good as they imagined, especially the old and spicy look on the battlefield cannot be seen from him.
"I don't look like the elite of the Survey Corps."
Some people have already started to mumble in a whisper, the original Keith had impressed them with intimidation when they first joined the 104th training corps, maybe they had all heard of Levi's name, but there was still a gap between what they saw with their own eyes and what they heard.
In the psychology of these people, they probably currently think that Keith is an insurmountable mountain, which is daunting, especially his training, which can be described as harsh, compared to the two, Lin Xiu is not as intimidating as Keith in any point, except for the wings of freedom behind him that hunt with the sound of the wind.
"Are you planning to give up our 104th training, such a guy doesn't look as good as me."
Discussions have come and gone, and people's perceptions often make people assume some blind perceptions from their first impressions, which is a common human disease.
"Don't say that, don't you see that woman is very beautiful, maybe she also relies on her relationship to get to the top, coming here to eat and wait for death to be an instructor, it's better to be more stable than walking outside and fighting with that disgusting giant every day, maybe it's the mistress of a noble**, hehe."
Some of the training soldiers had already begun to snicker in words that had seen through everything, and it was obvious that no matter what kind of mentality, they did not think that these two men had the strength to serve as their instructors, and there was hardly anything that could convince them of their age, seniority, stature, and courage.
"Allen ......"
Mikasa's figure is naturally among them, 170's height makes her stand out even as a woman, there is obviously a trace of worry on her delicate and handsome face, her position has always stood on Allen's side, at this moment, it can naturally be seen that Allen is trying his best to suppress his emotions, his fingers are already a little white, if he is closer, you can even hear him gritting his teeth and grinding his teeth.
Allen's mood at the moment, Mikasa and Amin can naturally understand, even if the mother did not die tragically because of the giant, the height of the Survey Corps and the Wings of Freedom is unattainable in Allen's psychology, every time they return from the investigation outside the city, Allen always looks forward to it with a look of adoration with a hero-like gaze.
Although, in the mouths of adults, the Survey Corps is the object of cynicism, but in the hearts of children, they are the heroes who truly guard humanity and fight the giants on the front line.
This seed that has been planted in the psychology since he was very young has grown up in Allen's heart, and he is extremely looking forward to the day when he can join the Survey Corps like them, and return triumphantly in the eyes of others, even if he dies on the battlefield, he has at least contributed to mankind, therefore, he has already made such an awareness in his psyche.
Especially after his mother's tragic death at the hands of giants, this emotion not only did not flinch, but came more violently than ever. He must crush the crumbs with his own hands. Avenge your loved ones.
Gendarmerie Corps. The person with the best grades will be included and will be the existence of maintaining the law and order in the city for the rest of his life, which is what many people dream of, because in the face of death, not everyone is not afraid.
But in Allen's psyche, this choice never appeared, and the members of the gendarmerie were nothing more than parasites parasitic on the irony of the present peace. Rather than be one of them, Alan would rather fight the giant to the death with a pencil knife himself.
However, at this moment, looking at the two people standing on the high platform in front of him, he felt that his dream was a little fragmented, as if a dream had been trampled under his feet, and the woman was cowardly from beginning to end, and she didn't even dare to raise her eyes to look directly at a group of training soldiers, even the least daring of them here Khlista would not be so useless.
And the man who looked like a woman was naturally their instructor, always with the usual mechanical smile on his face. It's like a group of politicians who parasitize on human beings, saying things that don't hurt or itch. The last thing that Eren could accept was that they were wearing the costumes of the Wings of Freedom.
"Unforgivable."
I don't know how long it took, Alan squeezed out such a sentence from the root of his teeth, obviously, his anger could not be suppressed, he could not accept, such a person trampled on his dreams, he could not accept, the dream that had been expected became so unbearable.
"It's very hot, I'm sure you've been standing for a long time, uh, I was going to arrive earlier, but I couldn't help it, I was lost on the road of life for a while, so I'm a little late, I'm really sorry."
Lin Xiu said with a smile and a somewhat witty tone, what got lost on the road of life, this kind of can be said brazenly, who knows what he was doing on the road?
Many training soldiers scanned Lin Xiu and Sun Jingxue behind him back and forth with deep meaning, with such a little beauty by his side, if he could go fast, it would be really hell, and some naughty soldiers even had a deep meaning Oh pulled a long tone, without whistling on the spot, it was already very merciless to Lin Xiu.
"Ani, what do you think?"
Standing in an inconspicuous position, with so many people present, she didn't have to worry about being heard by others when she whispered, and it was Reiner from the same class who asked her? Brown.
"Like an idiot."
Ani replied lazily, from beginning to end, the strength of their conversation was not too strong, but their lips trembled slightly, believing that such a small movement would naturally not be noticed.
Lin Xiu seemed to be harmless and smirked, but his eyes were observing everyone's actions, and naturally he paid more attention to Ani.
On the premise of his understanding of the world, he just knew that Ani had become a giant, and the others had not yet been exposed, and on the way he came, he was actually followed, which had to make him reconsider, and although his observation was not bad, his hearing was not as strong as before, and he could only see Ani's mouth moving in a vague way, but there was no way to know what he said.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce, this is my assistant instructor next to me, called Sun Jingxue, is a good little beauty, everyone must concentrate on training, don't use your brains, as a soldier, discipline must be strict, ugly said in front, if I find out who is misbehaving, I know that you are my students, I don't know the steel knife in my hand."
Lin Xiu said in a fierce and inverted tone, as if he was threatening.
"Yes."
"Got it, instructor."
Many people replied lazily, almost all the thoughts in their hearts were written on their faces, this instructor really regarded this little beauty as his own forbidden belly, it seems that they regarded this errand as a good trip.
Lin Xiu looked quite satisfied with the answers of these people, and waved his hand behind him complacently, signaling Sun Jingxue to come forward and greet everyone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Jingxue, uh in the future...... Thank you for your kind attention. “
A deep bow, good looking, sweet mouth, and very polite, in this regard, naturally can win a lot of favor, but for some soldiers who have revenge in their hearts, this is definitely not a good phenomenon, and they have even considered whether to leave this training corps.
"Now that everyone has been sleeping in the open for a day. Then the training starts tomorrow. All...... Let's disperse. “
Lin Xiuxian waved his hand like a great man. It looks more like a beckoning cat pose, which makes people laugh, I really don't know if this instructor's brain is funny.
"Wait a minute, instructor, I have a question for me."
In a word, Lin Xiu, who suddenly interrupted and wanted to turn over and leave, looked at him, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Allen with his hands clenched into fists and clenched teeth? Jaeger walked forward step by step.
"Uh, help me look up this classmate's name."
Sun Jingxue was still a little stunned, were there any people present who Lin Xiu didn't know? Seeing Lin Xiu blinking with herself, she suddenly realized that they knew the world very well, and naturally they couldn't tell anyone else about such a thing.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Sun Jingxue suddenly understood, quickly flooded the information she had prepared, and flipped through it twice, but in fact, she didn't find anything at all.
"Ah, got it. Is it called Alan? Jaeger's classmates, please tell us if you have any questions. But don't delay everyone's rest time, my legs are still shaking after a day of rushing. “
Although Lin Xiu said so, the bitter gourd face that anyone could see was not very happy obviously showed that he was very unhappy now.
"The instructor is a member of the Survey Corps, so please tell us, when did you join the Survey Corps, which class you belong to, how many times have you gone out to investigate, and what is your record?"
Allan? Yeager looked at Lin Xiu from the bottom up, his eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, obviously he had a deep dissatisfaction with Lin Xiu, these two people looked like the second ancestor and look, they didn't look like a qualified instructor, there were still three months to graduate, and when the time came, he would choose whether to join the gendarmerie or the survey corps, he didn't want to waste his time with such an idiot instructor.
"Uh, that's a question, let me think about it."
Lin Xiu looked like a child, frowning thoughtfully, as if he was really thinking about something, Allen? Yeager suddenly sang such a play, and the others naturally didn't want to leave now, and they all watched with interest what would happen between Lin Xiu and Allen.
"Ah, I remember, it was last month, don't mention that time, I was scared to death at the time, those giants are so tall, so strong, and the scared legs are still a little trembling when I think about it, but the instructor I, I didn't give it in vain, at that time, my heart was down, my hand was up and down, and I killed the two giants with a few clicks.
Two of them, those are two giants, can you imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time, and of course, because of this, I also joined the elite class of the Survey Corps. “
Lin Xiu looked arrogant, almost nostrils to the sky, looking like the second ancestor boasted, such a person, Alan has seen too much, at this time his psychological anger can not be suppressed.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered, Alan, your village seems to have been invaded by giants, let me think, ah, it seems that your mother also died at the hands of giants, what were you doing at that time?
Whether you were crying your nose or peeing your pants, haha, but you can't be blamed for that, after all, you were only a ten-year-old kid at the time. “
Lin Xiu said with a mocking expression, and such words fell on Allen's ears like a steel knife that was constantly stabbing his heart.
"Instructor, you're enough, if you dare to continue"
Although Eren was angry, he still didn't break out after all, but it was Mikasa, who had been standing beside him? Ackerman walked over to Lin Xiu step by step with a cold face.
"You...... What are you going to do, do you have to do it with the instructor, it's a crime, I'll throw you in prison, there's someone above me. “
Lin Xiu looked at Mikasa, who was angry and walked towards him with a murderous expression? Ackerman, frightened, kept retreating in a bit of a panic.
"Forget it, Mikasa."
But at this moment, Mikasa was held by Allen who came to his senses and Ah Ming, who rushed up, but his eyes were still staring at Lin Xiu, as if he wanted to cut him with a thousand knives.
"It's bad, it's bad."
Lin Xiu jumped to his feet in a rage, looking like an angry horse monkey.
"You, you, and you, you three, don't eat tonight, run fifty laps around the playground for me, if you dare to disobey, get out of here now."
The instructor who gritted his teeth was already a little crazy, and his fingers were pointing at Allen, Mikasa and Amin indiscriminately, looking like an angry child, one Buddha was born in the sky, and the second Buddha was born.
Alan glanced at Lin Xiu deeply, and still silently began to jog around the playground.
"Someday, I'll make you regret it, sissy."
When passing by Lin Xiu's side, Mikasa whispered under the scarf, this was already a naked threat, but because her mouth was hidden under the scarf, there was no evidence for a while, which made Lin Xiu even more angry.
"This is the end of disobedience to orders, this is the end of challenging the authority of the instructor, I will ask now, who else, also! Yes! Who! ”
Lin Xiu deliberately pretended to be a fierce and vicious look, and roared loudly word by word, and his delicate face was even more distorted that people couldn't bear to look at it directly, but fortunately, most of them were aware of current affairs, except for the three of Mikasa Allen, the others did not continue to touch his brows, and silently returned to their rest area.
"Humph!"
Lin Xiu put on an angry look, obviously planning to stand on the playground and watch the rhythm of the three of them running fifty laps all the time, and the others left in silence.
"Oh, chick, what's your name, ah, you've dropped something."
When Historia passed by Lin Xiu, he suddenly rushed forward, and I have to say that although Helista is only less than one meter five tall, the golden hair with the mid-length shawl and the bright and moving big eyes are really a rare beauty.
Helista was taken aback, but Yumir beside him happened to appear, blocking Lin Xiu's gaze, and after giving him a glance, he quickly left with Hestoria, and now this instructor is simply a plague god, everyone can see clearly, it was Lin Xiu who deliberately threw a gold coin to Historia's feet, and then picked it up and accosted him.
Such an inferior method is almost to the point of mutual indignation of people and gods, but only Lin Xiu, an idiot, is still pretending not to know and be complacent.
However, no one noticed that at the moment when Lin Xiu lowered his head, his eyes quickly locked on a person's figure, everyone's boots were dust, after all, it was normal for this training playground to be dusty, but what if a person's boots were stained with mud marks and some grass green?
It shows that this person must have been in and out of the forest in a very short period of time, the training corps is very strict, and the boots are cleaned every day, so that is to say, these traces are left today and have not had time to clean up.
Just, why him?
Lin Xiu took a deep look, and Reiner, whose back was gradually moving away? Brown. (To be continued.) )
