Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Kittens (32)

...• • •...

Military Training Field, Central Trost District (08.00 AM)

1 Hour of training..

"Captain, I want to report the results of yesterday's meeting" Eld said representing his squad lined up neatly at the back.

Levi nodded in agreement. Inadvertently sapphire face to face five seconds with hazel girl, the girl who yesterday had made him fight his own ego.

Petra who was stared at no longer knew what kind of face to put on now. Since yesterday's incident, he could not control his memory, like a cassette tape that kept spinning smoothly. Always remembered and even ended his reddened face withstanding shame, even though he had tried hard to forget and considered it just a passing event.

It turned out that not only Petra, Levi felt the same way. He himself was confused as to why he did that to her.

How should he behave now?

Never before has Levi felt this complicated. Strange, he thought.

"For today's training there is a change. From the data given by Instructor Keith, there were 10 old cadet-104 rankings that passed and the rest did not pass. In other words, those who passed were also among the seedlings. The commander ordered to put all the old 104 cadets on the Oluo and Petra teams. Seeing that a portion of their force had been killed in the previous incident of an impromptu attack by the Trost District, there were additional new members of the pure-bred 104 cadet who did not yet have a physical training basis. All those new cadets will be on my team and Gunther. Enough reports from me."

"Alright, if that's Erwin's order."

"Why should I and-I mean that Petra is clear. Why me?" tanya Oluo who immediately got a sharp delicacy from Petra.

"You've had quite an increase. I'm sure Erwin has a reason to put you in position."

"Good, Captain!"

"Train them as hard as possible. Indeed discipline is the most powerful lesson for the fecal puddles."

The four humans instantly gave salutes, not forgetting that they always shuddered in horror. It seemed that every letter thrown from the captain's mouth was very suitable as a history book with the title "Collection of Love Sentences from Captain Levi".

"Ready, Captain!"

Levi let Oluo, Gunther, and Eld out of the room first, before calling Petra.

"Yes?"

"On yesterday.."

Discussed again?! inner Petra panicked.

"I'm sorry." said Levi in a soft tone and eye toward the other direction. "Forgive it, Petra."

Petra. How could he forget it? In fact, such a small thing was able to make his heart beat fast with the feeling of his heart that burst unruffled.

Can it survive as usual?

"It's okay, Captain. Please don't feel bad for me."

In fact, only that sentence can be said from him.

...• • •...

"Connie Springer! Marco Bott's!"

"Ready!"

"Reiner Braun! Ymir! Bertoldt Hoover's! Mikasa Ackerman's! Follow my squad!" said Oluo loudly.

"Ready!"

After his three comrades had already summoned his members, it was Petra's turn to call the rest of the available members. His mouth was in a design, preparing his best loud and firm voice.

"Armin Arlert! Christa Lenz's! Sasha Blouse's! Jean Kirsten! Annie Leonhardt's! And.. Yeager Eren! You guys get in my squad!"

"Good!"

Petra then led the six members towards the Eastern region, still in the training field.

"Petra-san, how are you?" asked Eren politely.

"I'm good, Eren. You alone?"

Eren smiled, "As you can see."

"Thank God. I'm so sorry to all your friends who died in the Trost District attack that time. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to say this."

Eren who heard that could only put on a sad face, but was implied by the frustration and regret that clashed in it.

"I will definitely avenge them, even with my Titan power. They will not die in vain. Therefore, I must become strong."

Petra smiled slightly in response while patting Eren's shoulder softly. "I'd rather hear the answer 'with all my strength'".

Eren shook his head, trying to digest once more. As soon as he was about to ask, Petra had already stepped in front of him until he had again undo the intention.

...• • •...

"Are you brother?"

"No, Chief!" armin and Christa answered.

"I thought you were brothers because you look alike. Armin, why don't you graduate?"

"I-it was probably because my physique was too weak-"

"Don't use that as an excuse! Physiques can be trained! I know you can! Use your techniques during training!" Petra began to devise, "Now hit me as you please!"

"Eh?" Armin was surprised, "I-I'm not-AARGH!!"

Petra directly hit Armin on the shoulder, "The enemy was attacked instead of waiting, Armin!"

"Well prepared!"

Armin also began to hit Petra to some parts, but of course it can be pushed easily. Petra judged that Arlert's movements were still random. Until he looks exhausted and Petra stops training to him.

"Actually you've mastered the technique, but your movements are still a mess. Christa, I'm asking you to teach Armin. I'll check on you both!"

"Good, Chief! I will try even better! Thank you for your evaluation and assessment!" said Armin gave salute.

Petra turns to a girl named Sasha Blouse and the potato-loving actress. He just sighed looking at her behavior.

"Sasha, I got a report you also ate potatoes during the previous training. Why are you doing it again now?"

"Ready! Because I love potatoes!"

After saying so, Sasha thrust her remaining potatoes at Petra. "This is. for the Chairman.."

Not for three seconds, Petra had already snatched the potato and threw it away, making Sasha scream in shock.

"Take it if you can!"

"How dare you throw away my kent!" sasha shouted while crying. The girl now did not hesitate to attack Petra.

"Hoo, great! Use all your techniques if you want to attack, Sasha! Not half!" reply Petra while fending off.

Lock up the movement, knock out the opponent..

Lock the movement, attack the vital point, knock out the opponent..

Until Petra managed to lock Sasha's movements by pounding the girl's legs and toppling her to the side. Petra was about to hit Sasha's chin which was a vital point, but she stopped seeing the potato girl was frightened.

"Are you really Sasha Blouse in the top 10 graduation rankings?!

"I-iyaa." Sasha replied still crying.

Eren and Jean could not help but laugh at the face of defeat and Sasha's frustrated cry, while Armin could only shake his head at her. The Annie seemed indifferent and Christa was like pity and no pity to see her comrade-in-arms.

"You two laughed?!" Instantly Petra's sharp gaze succeeded in making Eren and Jean silent.

"Jean Kirsten! I heard earlier that you wanted to enter the Military Police, why did you turn to the Surveillance Force?!"

"I-that's it. after I thought again it seemed like I was indeed a match in the Surveillance Force!"

"really?" Petra hit Jean in the stomach, making the horse face complain.

"Sick or not?!"

"Ready, sick!"

"Lucky you can still laugh today! When you fight the Titans, your laugh will be gone! In fact, those lucky ones still had mouths to laugh at!"

If you have this training, why are all seniors so scary anyway? inner Jean shuddered.

"Why don't you just stay in that safe Military Police?"

"Ready, don't want to!"

"Train harder if you don't want to get kicked by a Titan, Jean?!"

"Ready, okay!" replied Jean loudly.

"Eren, it's your turn now!"

"Good!"

"Eh?" Eren choked, "One against one with you?"

"Oh, don't you want to? If I don't want to, I'll turn to An-"

"Ready! I'll fight you!" eren replied, making Petra smile with pride.

The almond netra now moves here and there following the movement of the opponent in front of him, reading and guessing. As soon as Eren wanted to kick him from the right side, Petra dodged deftly. But after that, his neck was successfully locked by Eren, followed by his two legs.

"Good, Eren. The stability and agility of your movements increases."

"Thank-AARGH!!"

Eren instantly fell to the ground as soon as Petra nudged his chest hard enough.

"I'm sorry, but both my hands are still free. So fatal!" Petra reached out her hand to help Eren stand up, "If you want to lock the opponent's movement in that position, first make his hand not wart."

"Ready, Petra-san!"

"I want to keep seeing your progress. Keep what you can! Increase the ones you can't!"

Eren gave his salute, "Good!"

Petra turned to the last member, none other than a bright blonde girl named Annie Leonhardt. Petra's first impression when she saw him was that she was a quiet, calm girl, and did not want to deal here and there. Even his face might look like a lazy face. However, Petra was able to judge that this girl had reliable abilities.

"Heard you went to the Military Police. What reason?"

"I'm just not interested in fighting the Titans and want to live in peace."

Petra was just a mangosteen hearing it, "So yeah. If... There was a Titan attack in Sina's wall, what would you do?"

"I will only obey what the superior and Commander commands," Annie replied fixedly with her flat face.

"Hm, okay. It seems you're very loyal to want to protect the government."

Annie simply fell silent not answering the sentence - it was either a compliment or a satire.

"I attacked as if you were worthy of a rank-4 position."

Annie nodded according to Petra's words. The girl began to put up her typical ready-to-fight position. As soon as Petra gave the code, Annie immediately launched an attack.

THE DUAKK!! BUGHGH!!

THE DUAKK!!

The moment of the fight was able to make everything distract in a few seconds, including Mikasa who was on Oluo's team. The fight is not too fierce, but stable.

Attack. tangkis.attack..

"Fight is perfect.." murmured Eren involuntarily.

Petra was quite amazed by Annie's fighting style. Regular and neat movements. He thought, this girl could quickly read the opponent's movements so that she could take the next action.

Annie's fist almost hit Petra's face, but Petra quickly cupped her with her hand. Then, Petra turned Annie's hand and grabbed her with her right arm. While his left arm he used to lock Annie's waist. Then, he kicked Annie's knee until the girl lost her balance.

As soon as Petra wanted to topple her forward, Annie had already elbowed her stomach with her left hand so that Petra was forced to remove it.

Not just until there. When Annie felt safe and caught her guard down, Petra just kicked Annie's legs until she fell to the ground.

"You're off guard. The enemy won't stop attacking after releasing you."

Annie nodded while panting, "Lock the movement, attack the vital point, crush the opponent. Is that your principle?"

"That's great! You can read and deduce my movement technique."

"I think I have a lot to learn from you, Chairman."

"Hm? Don't you have much to learn from him?" Petra turned her gaze towards Mikasa who seemed to still be being trained by Oluo. "I heard your fight is balanced."

"Tch, Eren's crazy girl," Annie quipped but it could still be heard by Petra making her sigh.

"You're good enough. I hope my judgment is not wrong. Defend, Annie!"

"Well, thank you, Chief Petra," said Annie also salute.

Petra clapped her hands once violently, making the entire member instantly focus his attention.

"Yes! My training is enough here! You have ten minutes to rest! I hope you guys don't take this practice lightly! Get the good results! Understood?!"

"Ready, understand! Thank you very much, Chief Petra!"

...• • •...

Petra took a quick sip of her drink, and it choked her. He coughed a few times as he cursed in the heart of his own ridiculous mistake. How else would you like? He felt very thirsty.

"If you drink slowly, Petra. No one's after you."

Eld's voice was caught in his hearing as the man rubbed his back.

"Eld-uk! You. have-uhuk! finish training?"

"It has. Fortunately, they quickly understood. The generation is growing."

Petra let out a laugh, "Hey, you're talking like we're the old generation! You want to get old fast, huh?"

"Of course not. I want to get married and have a child with him first" Eld smiled proudly.

"Hoo, okay. Until you forget to invite the three of us, I won't hesitate to slash your neck!"

Eld burst out laughing, "You're not a Captain who can talk like that-oh! You want to marry the Captain, too, don't you?"

Petra spontaneously stomped on Eld's left foot, making the man named behind Jinn complain. "Why does your mouth look more like Oluo?"

"Haahh I'm serious, Petra. What if you're married to the Captain?"

Petra immediately turned her face aside. "What the hell are you saying? Th-that's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. If that happens, what do you want? Don't get in the way of what you shouldn't be blocking."

It was no lie that Eld's words had succeeded in making him stunned. Another blow for him. He must admit that he had wanted to avoid his own feelings, as if he already knew there were limits that made him blocked. The boundaries he made himself.

Why should he like Captain Levi? Why should a man like him?

"I don't want to dodge my feelings, Eld."

Eld looked at Petra who was looking straight ahead.

"However, it's like I'm setting my own limits. I even asked.. Do I deserve to like someone like him? I feel like I'm putting feelings on someone who doesn't even want to know what the world of love is."

"You're wrong. Even a man like Captain, if anyone starts him he'll learn to know."

Now Petra turned to Eld with a fixed look. "Why can you be so sure?"

"Because I'm a man. Did I never feel that? My relationship with Elisha was built slowly."

"Petra, in this world there are three types of men in hiding feelings. First, because of fear. Second, because of worry. Third, not confident or ashamed. A man when it comes to feelings will definitely feel more complicated, like the Oluo."

Petra knitted her eyebrows together, "Huh? What's up with him? That idiot is in love? Ahaha!"

"That's possible. Either this is just my hunch or she's in love with you."

"Don't joke. The fool is even more in love with his hobby that always bites his tongue" Petra joked.

"You guys are weird, always a hobby of mocking each other. Ah Petra, I forgot! Take your lunch there," Eld pointed to the spot at the end of the field, "Having boiled potatoes for us, bread for the cadets."

"REally?!" petra suddenly shouted. He thought he had thrown away the potatoes belonging to the girl named Sasha. Oh come on, it's only natural that he threw it away because he was training. Why did he suddenly feel so guilty?

"All right, thank you, Eld. I went there first." Petra moved while waving, leaving Eld frowning confused to see Petra acting in a hurry earlier.

...• • •...

The hazel bead was circulating its attention all over the field to capture the potato girl's stature. It was not until five minutes finally found it, in front of the resting place cadets were chatting with two men, one bald-headed and another half-undercut light-brown. Ah, Petra knows one of them, that's Jean Kirstein.

"Sasha Blouse?"

The three humans turned their heads and immediately salute as soon as they knew it was their senior.

"The two are looking for me?" sasha asked as she pointed to herself.

"Yes. This is in exchange for the one before," Petra offered a warm boiled potato, "Sorry I threw yours."

Sasha immediately accepted it deftly and she.. cried again? Yeah, God! Is that how much he loves potatoes?

"Thank you very much, Chief!" Sasha immediately hugged Petra tightly, making Petra laugh. Jean and the bald-headed boy kind of coded Sasha to immediately stop her actions, perhaps fearing it was disrespectful.

"Yes. But, I will not hesitate to throw it away again if you are not serious in the Survey Corps! So do you two, okay?!"

"Ready, Chief!"

After finishing his guilt, Petra walked up to the blue sky above, accompanied by the hot afternoon sun. In fact, even from the potato girl he could learn what a wholehearted feeling was.

Feelings without boundaries and obstacles.

"Would it be. I start revealing it to the Captain?"
