After punishing the ten unlucky cadets who came in last in the race, instructor Keith approached the crowd and began to spit... sermons.
"This time is just the beginning of your training. To be honest, their performance today was terrible. An old man working in the field can run faster than all of you. Within this training corps, only twenty-three soldiers are qualified. Therefore, next I will have to train you rigorously. I hope that in the snow mountain test to be held in three months, you will not have an embarrassing result. For if you get lost in the snow or can no longer continue, your death is certain."
"So here comes the surprise, since you are all in a very good mood, rest for half an hour and run back if you don't want to miss the food." Instructor Keith finally said with a cold smile.
"My goodness, we still have to run back!"
"It's only a half hour break, this is..."
"I feel like I'm going to die."
"It's okay, it's just a run back..."
Not everyone knows how to complain, anyway, today they are destined to suffer.
Many heard Takashi's exclamation, "This sure is a good surprise, ready to start?"
However, Takashi's face twitched. Not long ago he thought this surprise was only for the last ten places, he never thought they would include them all in the same package. This was a direct punch in everyone's face!
Many of the cadets who made sure not to be in the last ten showed a sad expression, how am I supposed to go back to camp if we spent all our strength not to be in the last ten?
Takashi rubbed his legs and right now he was very bitter, not to mention that he has the power to use a Susanoo in this world, even if he has Chakra and can make use of that power in his body, he can't let this kind of surprises come without him being aware, today is just the training, tomorrow it could be an enemy attack.
After half an hour, everyone went back to running and it didn't take long for everyone to have a sudden death expression on their faces. Half an hour of rest was not enough to regain the stamina in their legs, much less regain their breath that after two minutes they had completely lost control of their breathing.
Takashi could not believe it. More than four months had passed in the training corps, his strength in both Chakra and general capabilities had strengthened to a very acceptable level. Along with his own extraordinary potential, though not comparable to the best talent in this world, his strength and physical endurance were something very few had. However, he had now begun to tire and felt the burn run through his legs.
Of course, even if he was starting to feel exhausted, he was still holding his own among the frontrunners next to Miakasa, he couldn't stop pushing himself.
"Wow..."
"Ouch!"
After the race finally ended, Takashi wiped the sweat from his forehead and discovered that many people were lying on the grass like corpses. The first day of weight walking was an extremely bad experience for everyone!
Eren looked at Armin who lay on the ground and had long ago rolled his eyes, almost foaming at the mouth, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the experience.
Thomas sat on the floor, thumping his legs hard, causing Marco Bott to check if his legs were still connected to his body, and Connie on her side was doubtful for life.
Instructor Keith looked at the people lying on the ground and smiled unscrupulously, "What's the matter, can't they stand this little walk? Aren't they usually the first ones to run too fast?"
"Tomorrow training of this nature will begin! Remember, practice with the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment is still every day, anyone who feels qualified can come to my office and request the equipment." Ignoring the surly crowd, Instructor Keith turned and left.
Time passed quietly, two months of time slipped away between training and more practice, the winter season had arrived when the snow fell from the sky.
On this day, when Takashi stepped out of the bedroom door, he saw the ground covered in snow, with heavy snow falling from the sky, dyeing the world a vast expanse of white.
"Is the snow season here?" Takashi as a person of this world was the first time he had ever looked at snow. He felt an indescribable feeling from his previous world, so now he was very happy.
Thomas, who was standing next to him, was wrapped in a thick grayish white military uniform, smiled at Takashi and said, "It's strange, you got up a little late today."
Takashi didn't mind, "It's rare to rest today, and it's normal for me to sleep late."
In fact, it was a little cold and it was hard to get up as early as he always did.
The training corps also have some vacation days, and Takashi found out that after the big snow mountain test there would be some weeks off that will be granted time after finishing the test.
Takashi hummed a tune and went to the dining hall for breakfast, and then hung out at the training camp with his roommate Thomas.
Many children played in the snow at the training camp, and some people hung out like Takashi and Thomas.
Takashi saw Eren, Mikasa and Armin building a snowman. It must be said that the trio had a good relationship. Jean Kirstein acted like a calm and beautiful man on the side, trying to attract Mikasa's attention.
In all honesty, Jean is tall and handsome, looks in line and has excellent training results. However, in Mikasa's eyes there is only one Eren in her life.
Takashi and Thomas walked to a corner of the training ground. He found Mina and Annie under a leafless maple tree. The blonde girl was standing under the tree in a daze. Mina was making a snowman and when she looked at Takashi she greeted them politely.
Takashi bent down, grabbed a handful of snow and made a ball which he then threw hard. The snowball he threw and smashed it on Mina's back.
Mina, who was hit by a snowball, stood up and turned her head, looked at Takashi, bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, balled it up and threw it at Takashi.
Takashi pulled Thomas to his side to block it.
"Stat!"
The snowball hit Thomas directly in the head.
Then, Takashi turned and ran!
Thomas was stunned at first, then came to and frantically chased after Takashi. As he ran, he shouted, "Stop! Takashi, I have to hit you too."
In Thomas' psychological mindset he thought that Takashi could flirt with a girl in front of him, but he couldn't use him as a shield whenever he pleased.
Mina stroked her forehead with her hand, her expression a bit helpless, obviously speechless in the face of these two.
Annie, the cool beauty on the side, asked, "Mina, do you have a good relationship with Takashi? I think Takashi is very interesting."
Annie showed a rare smile, bent down and built a snowman with Mina.
"Okay, Takashi always seems carefree coming to this place. However, I can tell that he hides much more than he expresses, while his simple actions always leave Eren and Jean surprised."
Thinking of something, Mina smiled, "Last time she accidentally tricked Eren. In other words, the result was that Mikasa's eyes were scary at the time."
Annie looked at Mina and asked matter-of-factly, "Do you like Eren?"
"No, I just think Eren is brave although he's not as good as Takashi who cares about everyone's growth, he works very hard, just like Mikasa, Sasha said Mikasa insists on practicing boxing every night which is kind of intense." Mina showed a wry smile.
Not to mention that Annie and Mina were having a good time chatting on one side, on the other side, Thomas still couldn't catch up with Takashi, but Takashi took the initiative to stop and said that he would make peace with Thomas on this beautiful day, however Thomas disagreed and threw a nine ball which hit Miaksa's face.
The result was not very pleasant.
During the days off, corporals can also learn to cook on their own in the kitchen, as long as they organize the cooking utensils afterwards.
Takashi, who had bragged about his cooking skills to Sasha, prepared a delicious meal recalling some recipes from his previous life.
As Takashi chatted with Thomas for a while, around noon, he walked to the kitchen and Thomas followed him with anticipation.
Thomas knew Takashi's culinary skills better than anyone else.
Takashi walked to the entrance of the dining room and discovered that Christa and Ymir were having a snowball fight off to the side.
He couldn't help but think about the last time he cheated on Eren.
Ten days ago, Takashi and Eren were chatting in the wooden hallway at the entrance of the cafeteria after lunch. Christa, Ymir and Mina were chatting in the open space on the right side of the comder, due to the standing problem, Takashi and Eren couldn't see the three of them because of the blind spot.
Takashi asked aloud, "Eren, who do you think is the most beautiful, Mikasa, Annie, Christa or Mina?"
Eren, who was a bit overwhelmed by the sudden question, replied, "That... I think it's almost the same thing, why are you suddenly asking me this?"
Looking at the old cat, Takashi still didn't give up, "So, who do you think is the cutest?"
Eren blushed. Maybe no one had ever asked him that question before, "That... that, Christa."
Christa aside blushed immediately, Ymir looked at Eren and Takashi with an unhappy expression. Mina smiled and said nothing.
Later, for some unknown reason, this matter spread quickly everywhere and eventually all the soldiers in the training corps knew about it, and there was a lot of talk about it, both boys and girls. Here's what the boys had to say, "Jean: Mikasa is the prettiest! No rebuttals accepted!"
"Reiner: Christa, no explanation."
"Takashi: It doesn't really matter, I'm the prettiest anyway! However, Sasha always steals my buns."
"Bertholdt: Annie."
"Tomas: Mina."
"Eren: I just told the truth! Why are you looking at me like that, Mikasa!
"Connie: They're all pretty girls."
"Marco: It's really hard to tell the difference, I support Connie!"
Takashi was originally just curious about protagonist Eren's tastes, but he didn't expect this to spread through everyone's mouths!
Anyway, Mikasa's expression was terrifying when she found out about this, especially after hearing Eren say that Christa is the cutest. Anyway, Takashi could only look at Mikasa for two seconds before being defeated and slipping away.
After that, Mikasa didn't really like the conversation topics Takashi brought up.
