"Come on leila kick harder!"
Eren said to me with a bossy tone as if he was looking down on me.
"You... why don't you come down here and teach me properly then! Or perhaps you also don't know how to swim?" I said trying to provoke Eren and it looks like it worked because he suddenly jump down the pool!
"Nandato?" Eren said while glaring straight into my eyes.
"Oyyy you two stop messing around!" Charles Shouted towards us.
"Haihai."
"Sigh... so what's the problem?" Eren said to me while warming up his shoulders and stretching them while waiting for my response.
"I don't know. It seems like I'm really not suited for the water." I said while looking down at the water in disappointment.
Seeing me look frustrated Eren suddenly grabbed both of my hands!
"E-eh!? What are you trying to do yo-you pervert!" I shouted in embarrassment.
"Hold my hands while trying to swim. Kick both of your legs simultaneously as hard as you can." Eren said seriously while looking at my eyes.
Seeing Eren's eyes I kind of thought that he was serious for once. I nodded at what he said and let my body float in the water while trying my best to pedal both of my legs.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid." I said to him while trying my best not to sink, but after a while I still struggled.
"You may not know it but there's still a little fear in your heart that you yourself dont know, when a person is afraid they're body becomes stiff and because of that you won't be able to move your body flexibly and start to sink when you try to swim. So don't be afraid and look into my eyes."
I just nodded at what he said and once again tried to swim while holding his hands.
"You won't drown as long as I'm here, I promise you that."

"Hah...hah..."
"You tired?" Eren asked me while getting out of the pool and getting a drink for both of us.
"Yeah."
"Well just look at your progress." Eren said while pointing at the pool.
When I looked towards where his hand was pointing I was surprised by what I saw!
"You... you mean..."
"Yup. You finally managed to swim to the other side of the pool... with my help of course."
