"Give your hearts!"

"Yes!"

On a dark night, in the small tiled square of the training barracks, the young soldiers of the 104th Training Corps uniformly placed their right fists on their hearts and their left fists behind their backs to salute the instructors standing on the high steps.

The braziers on the left and right reflected the young faces a little red, and the constantly jumping fire reflected in the eyes of these older children, who were only high school or college students, making their whole body shine.

"As of today, you who have officially graduated from the Training Corps have three options:

Dedicated to strengthening the walls and protecting the garrisons in the towns.

With the determination of sacrifice, the Survey Corps challenged the giant realm beyond the walls.

There was also the gendarmerie near the king, which was responsible for commanding the population and guarding the order.

-- Of course, the only people who are eligible to apply for admission to the Gendarmerie Corps are the 10 people I have just announced who have achieved excellent results. ”

On the high steps, the commander of the training corps, who had not appeared in the training camp a few times before, put his hands behind his back and announced in a very leading manner.

Standing in front of him, the ten best people standing in front of all the training soldiers were-

10th place, Ymir.

Ninth, Hrista? Reims.

Eighth place, Connie? Springer.

Seventh place, Jean? Kirchstan.

Sixth, Betthold? Hoover.

Fifth place, Sasha? Blaus.

Fourth place, Ani? Leonard.

Third place, Reiner? Brown.

Second place, Alan? Jaeger.

1st place, Mikasa? Ackerman.

"What...... It turned out to be ...... them."

"Sure enough......"

"I expected it just now......"

"Isn't this the one who ranked in the top eleventh place......

As soon as the commander of the training corps finished announcing the announcement with his hair neatly combed behind his head, the pot immediately exploded underneath, which made the bald instructor Keith, who was standing first on the right hand of the regiment commander, twitch his face.

However, Instructor Keith, who had a black face from the beginning and seemed to be in a very unhappy mood, did not yell at everyone again, he just silently glanced at the center of the one hundred and seventy-seven training soldiers, and then lowered his eyes with a blank face, ignoring everything in front of him, and not hearing it.

In the same way, the commander of the training corps and the other instructors also maintained their dignified faces, but completely ignored the voices of the training soldiers below, as if there was no movement at all below, and now they saw nothing more than a ridiculous hallucination.

"Wait!

Instructor, I have an objection! ”

At this time, Allen, who was standing between Mikasa and the tall blond-haired young Reiner, took a step forward and said loudly to the instructors on the steps without fear:

"Why don't 'people with excellent grades' have Chu Xuan! Chu Xuan is recognized by all of us as the strongest soldier!

If even Chu Xuan is not qualified to enter the Military Police Corps, the rest of us are even less qualified! ”

"I think so too!"

Although Mikasa was surprised by Alan's impulsive actions, she did not hesitate to take a step forward.

The other eight looked at each other, and then followed suit—though Connie and Jean were a little slower than the others.

"That's right! Chu Xuan is the strongest soldier! ”

"Just kidding, how could Chu Xuan not be qualified to enter the Military Police Corps!"

"There's shady!"

Infected by these ten well-regarded leaders among the trainees, the remaining more than 100 young people also began to boldly question the selection criteria of the instructors, but there were still nearly 50 trainees who were either silent or bowed their heads and secretly cooled themselves.

These people are really wolf-hearted, especially those who secretly turned up the corners of their mouths, they have asked Chu Xuan for guidance quite frequently in the past three years, and now they are actually ......

But this is also normal, there is no shortage of white-eyed wolves in this world, and Chu Xuan never expects that kind of person to be grateful to him.

Because Chu Xuan knows very well that no matter how good you are to them, as long as you are stronger than them, they will have feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, and they will not be able to see you well, so they will find ways to pull you off the horse.

"If you both feel like you're not qualified, give up your spot.

We will exclude all those who do not think they are qualified to join the Gendarmerie Corps, and pick out ten of the remaining trainees who have achieved excellent results. ”

The commander of the training corps seemed to have expected this kind of scene for a long time, and said to these indignant young people without the slightest anger.

The sound at the bottom of the stairs was sluggish, and then immediately became much quieter, and although the rest of the people were still barely holding on, there was a hesitant look in their eyes.

The bald instructor standing to the right of the regiment commander had a darker face, he glanced down the steps with a very complicated gaze, and then glanced at the superior who showed a little ridicule at the corner of his mouth with the corner of his eye, and then continued to sulk alone.

"Let's think about your future.

Tomorrow, we will assign you where you want to go, according to your 'own wishes'.

If anyone wants to give up a place in the Gendarmerie Corps, it is best to let me know as soon as possible, so as not to delay the future of 'other people'.

Let's all go to the cafeteria, we have prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your last night in the Corps, and I wish you all a pleasant one. ”

And Reiner? Like Brown, the commander of the training corps, with blonde hair and high brow bones, with a graceful smile of victory, very tolerantly gave "good wishes" to the young people at the bottom of the stairs who were not very respectful to him, and then leisurely walked away with the instructors behind his back.

"Damn! I will not join the gendarme, whoever loves to go! ”

Enraged, Alan stomped his foot indignantly and yelled hatefully at the instructors' backs.

However, Allen also knew that the regiment commander was really too old and cunning, and used the quota for entering the gendarmerie regiment as bait...... Just listening to the voice behind him, you know that his trick has really succeeded.

Although Alan wanted to say something more to the others, he had no idea what else he could say to everyone other than to announce on the spot that he had given up his place in the gendarmerie regiment.

Let everyone refuse to enter the gendarmerium? What's the point? There is no shortage of these ten recruits in the gendarmerie regiment, they give up if they love to give up, and no one will take them seriously.

It is precisely because they clearly know this that many people will "helplessly" choose the latter between fighting for Chu Xuan and thinking about their own future-since they are completely useless on Chu Xuan's side, they can only honestly accept the injustice of reality, after all, everyone still has to live.

"Everyone."

At this time, Chu Xuan's voice sounded as steady and unrepressed.

Alan turned his head and saw that Chu Xuan was still as straight as usual, as if he hadn't been hit at all.

Facing the complicated gaze of everyone, Chu Xuan, who had long expected that he would encounter an "invisible ceiling", pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said in a calm tone:

"Thank you for your kind words, but I want to ask you a question.

Do you think that's unfair? ”

Chu Xuan's unusually simple question made many people lower their heads, these people obviously knew what kind of answer they had promised to make, but whether it was a positive or negative answer, it was stuck in the throat of each of them, even if they all felt unhappy, they couldn't spit it out for one reason or another.

However, Chu Xuan didn't want everyone to answer this question, he just paused for a moment and continued:

"In this world, unfairness is the greatest fairness.

Whether it is 'justice' that everyone recognizes, or 'rightness' that belongs only to individuals, we need strength to support it, and this power is the guarantee of fairness, and this power is fairness itself.

The strong do not have to compromise anything with the weak, and the weak cannot afford to demand anything from the strong - unless the combined strength of the weak is enough for the strong to reconsider the trade-offs. ”
