*3rd Pov*
- The next day -
Alex, Eren, and the team under Levi were heading to an abandoned castle, previously known as the former Survey Corps HQ.
Oluo starts to both warn and brag to Eren, but eventually bites his tongue. Alex looks at Oluo and snickers in the background while he wains in pain for a few moments.
[Its no wonder you bit your tongue, talking up a storm while riding a horse!] said Petra
[First impressions are important. The new kid nearly wet his pants.] he replied
[I think he was just surprised by how dumb you are.] rebutted Petra
[Yeah, the girl is right. You look pretty dumb from my point of view.] said Alex while returning to the pair.
[Hey, you didn't always talk like that, did you? If you are trying to copy Captain Levi, please stop. You are making yourself an embodiment of embarrassment. You aren't like him in the slightest.] said Petra
[You are still not ready to become my wife, Petra.] he said
[I wish you bit through your tongue and died.] said Petra with a cold look
[The inside of this place is probably covered in dust, judging by the outside look.] said Alex
[Then that's a serious problem. Get to work.] said Levi, appearing behind Alex. Alex nodded and entered the castle structure, picked up a broom and mask, and started cleaning the place.
[We've finished cleaning the upper floor, captain Levi.] said Alex at dawn.
[Took you long enough. You are both sleeping in the basement, in the case you turn into a titan, you would get stuck. I'll inspect the rooms. You guys take over here.] said Levi while taking a sip of tea and then exiting the room to the left.
'Finally, that is over.. If I could use like a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of my god Chakra, I could clean the whole castle in like 20 minutes, compared to 6 hours..' thought Alex with a sigh. He cleaned the room again before sitting down. Levi came and gave him the ok, so Alex and Eren went to the basement, where they were then invited to the meeting hall. Everyone of Team Levi was there, including Alex and Eren.
[We'll be on standby for a few more days. I heard we're already planning a large-scale expedition beyond the walls in a month. Not to mention, we'll be bringing this year's graduates along, too.] said Eldo. He was the guy with the blond hair.
[Is that true, Eldo? That's pretty sudden. That Titan attack must've taken a toll on the new troops.] said Gunther. He was the guy with the semi-buzz cut.
[It probably terrified the brats.] said Olou. The guy who always bites his tongue.
[Is that true, Captain?] said Petra. The only female in the Levi squad.
[Making plans isn't my job. But knowing Erwin, he has more on his mind than we could imagine.] answered Levi
[It's true that the situation has changed. I'd thought that all of our sacrifices thus far to lay a route to retake Maria had been negated by a single blow. But now we have an entirely different hope.] said Eldo. Everyone started to stare at the surprised Eren and the calm Alex.
[Im not gay.] said Alex. Everyone looked at him.
[Who asked?] questioned Olou
[You keep staring at me. Oh, and Eren. He isn't gay either. I think.] said Alex
[*Cough Cough, anyways, I still can't believe it. But what do they mean when they say you guys can turn into a titan?] questioned Eldo
[I don't really remember much of what happened. I was so desperate, I couldn't think... But the trigger is a self-inflicted injury. I take my hand like this...] before Eren could continue, Alex decided to interrupt him.
[I'll share a little information I know. When a person first transforms, they will typically not remember anything. Meaning, since Eren could remember at least a little bit, it means that he received his power a long time ago, but only knew about it now. And like I said, the trigger to activating the titan powers is to have a self-inflicted injury, and along with a reason. "Plug up the hole in Trost District", "Protect my friends", "Kill all the titans". These are the reasons why I was able to plug up the wall, and he was able to activate his titan.] explained Alex. Everyone seemed to nod at the easily understandable explanation.
All of a sudden, Hange barges inside the meeting room. She bangs her head on the door, before Petra opens the door, letting her in.
[Hello, Levi Squad... How are you enjoying the castle?] said Hange
[You are early.] remarked Levi while drinking his drink
[I couldn't wait any longer!] said Hange while walking to Eren and Alex
[Squad Leader Hange?] questioned Eren
[Hey there, Eren... I'm in charge of investigating the two Titan's we've captured in town, and I'd like you guys to help with tomorrow's experiments. I came to get permission.] said Hange
[Experiments? What would I be doing?] questioned Eren
[Something totally awesome!] said Hange with a red, excited face.
[W-Well... I can't give permission for myself. The same for Alex. We don't have that authority...] said Eren
[Levi, whats Eren doing tomorrow?] said Hange
[Cleaning the courtyard.] said Levi
[Okay, then! It's settled!] said Hange. She then proceeded to grab both Eren and Alex's hand.
[See you tomorrow!] said Hange with a determined look.
[R-Right... But what do you mean by experiments with Titans?] questioned Eren
[Hmm?]
[U-um, what kind of experiments...] Eren was interrupted by Olou
[Hey, stop... Don't ask!] said Olou with a bead of sweat falling down his left cheek
[Ahhhhh... I knew it. I thought you looked like you wanted to hear...] said Hange
[Ugh, way to go, Eren.] said Alex. He, along with Levi and his squad got out of their seats and walked out of the room in a single file.
[Im surprised why you didn't stay, Alex.] said Petra
[People have a gut feeling, and mine felt like it was about to be eaten by a titan.] said Alex. He just didn't want to listen for the whole night.
[Then make sure to trust your gut. It can save you someday.] said Levi. Alex nodded in response.
[Now get some sleep. You are coming with us to test with the titans.] said Levi
[Yes sir.] said Alex. That reminded him about something, but he decided to contemplate about it later. He hadn't gotten any alone time, so he went to the basement, went to his bed, and sat on it.
'Finally, I'm alone. It's tiring to interact with this many people at once..' thought Alex
'And what's with that lightning? I just barely saw it, but it was blue. Lucy, explanation?' Questioned Alex
{The power of Titan's that you get doesn't exist anymore, so you automatically get it from the system. Because you got it from the system, it isn't connected to the coordinate, and because you aren't connected to the coordinate, you aren't constrained by the Curse of Ymir. At the same time, you draw your titan powers from the System, which is why the lightning is blue, instead of the normal orange-ish.} explained Lucy
'That's helpful, I guess.' Thought Alex
{Oh, another thing I wanted to say. You were thinking that having a bit of Chakra would be good, right? Well, technically, you can get Chakra in this world.} explained Lucy
'I can? How does that make sense?' Questioned Alex
{The way to use Chakra in this world is to...}
