The days after that Takashi used them to train a proper Martial art and swing the sword back and forth, infusing Chakra into the edge of the blade.
The designated days off had come to an end. On the training field, the familiar instructor stood on the high platform.
It didn't take long before instructor Keith began to sprinkle nice words, "Your allotted days off have passed and many of you have weak muscles again, but rest assured that this time I will train you to death."
All the soldiers in the camp were silent, will the mythical surprise in the rewards and punishments of the tests return?
Instructor Keith suddenly smiled, "Let me share with you some news that will make you very happy. The climbing training that lasted about half a year has ended and will not be conducted in the future ever again."
"Yes!"
"Yes, that's great!"
"It should have been over a long time ago."
"We finally don't have to worry about it!"
Takashi looked at the people with different thoughts, the climbing training was to take away people's little fear about heights or difficult situations that may happen with the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment.
Now he may think differently, but Takashi understood everyone, no wonder they are so happy, this training was torture and something where many recruits got kicked out of the training corps. This cliff climbing training was becoming more and more dangerous and tense, the assigned instructor would climb on top of everyone and cut the support rope, other times he would just shake the rope to throw the recruits off balance, many think that he would do. they cut their support rope, many others fell victim to this adrenaline-filled situation.
Every time this kind of training was conducted, for everyone it is a kind of torture, especially for the unlucky ones who were directly evaluated by the instructor Keith.
Takashi had heard that within a month of starting climbing training, some would scream for their life, others would cry while climbing with no chance of receiving help from instructors and it was all real when he remembered what happened.
Therefore, this emotion is normal for Takashi. Having thought about this, he had to start coming up with a plan for future training and how to act with his secret ability that could be loved or hated.
There was plenty of time left, but he had to hurry.
When the cheers from the crowd subsided, instructor Keith continued without hesitation and pointed out, "There is a very interesting future test and special confrontation training, the time of this training will be after the physical training every morning, one and a half hours a day with a maximum duration of two hours. Consult this information on the announcement board."
"Fighting?"
"Confrontation between people?"
"What should we learn that for?"
"Do you think it will have a special score?"
Everyone was a little confused.
The score for hand-to-hand combat training was not to be included in the final evaluation, but everyone knew that it is very important, even so a special course would not be arranged for this year.
The level of emphasis placed on this course also varies from person to person.
According to the instructor's words, Takashi understood that there were special partners for the training, but you can also practice with other people, as long as you are not lazy, the instructor does not mind.
The table of the couples had been announced, Takashi and the charismatic Jean Kirstein, Eren and Reiner, Mikasa and Christa, the short guy named Connie and Sasha, Annie and Armin and so on.
...
Today the day was sunny, calm wind and the sun was clear.
As soon as the physical training was over, the hand-to-hand combat training had begun.
At a training ground on the hillside, Jean held a wooden dagger and said to Takashi, "Are you ready? I'm going to attack."
Takashi made a fighting stance and said with a calm look, "Come on, come at me anytime."
Jean wielded the wooden dagger and charged forward with agility.
Takashi knew that to defend against a knife attack, it is most ideal to defend as fast as possible and counterattack without much thought. Therefore, Takashi was waiting for the way Jean was about to attack him.
Seeing how Jean was charging straight at him, Takashi leaned to the side at the last moment to avoid Jean's attack, he grabbed the wrist where Jean was holding the knife with one hand and pushed it away from his body, seconds later he hit with a kick to throw Jean backwards.
"So fast!" Jean from a moment to this looked at the bright sky in.
"Cough, cough, I'm too careless." Jean stood up with Takashi's help, feeling that he was too careless a moment ago, and would definitely take Takashi down this time.
Jean prepared the offensive again, bent down a little, clenched the wooden dagger with both hands and charged straight at Takashi.
Jean's speed this time was much faster and the strength together with the grip of the weapon is stronger. Just now, she was afraid of hurting Takashi, so this time she was going to do her best to attack him.
Takashi's position changed and with a serious expression, he leaned his body forward as much as he could and once the wooden dagger was entered straight to his stomach he hit with his forearms the hands holding the knife and attacked Jean's head.
"Burst!"
Jean once again fell backwards with ease.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Jean was a little confused.
In fact, in the original story, Annie used delicate moves and used more technique to deal with Eren and his opponents, all those who rush to attack are weak with technique attacks and decisive moves.
Takashi is actually very merciful, he didn't use all his strength to generate serious damage to Jean's body as well as he didn't use his Chakra, otherwise the results would have been more painful.
"I'll have to start attacking on specific points of the body, I must learn with Jean." Takashi thought to himself as he watched Jean get up from the ground once again.
"Let's go again!" Jean was not convinced of his results.
In the days that followed, the fantasy of Takashi crying and giving up made Jean suspicious of life.
Takashi was improving more and more his attacks and movements, day by day he was increasing the intensity of the attacks with Jean.
"Not again!"
Putting Jean down again, Takashi said to Jean, who was now very depressed that he had not achieved anything good in these last days, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Jean scoffed, "This one doesn't add up to points, no matter how well you learn, so it won't help me to become a military police officer."
Takashi ignored Jean's words and said with a playful expression, "You really don't want to learn?"
Jean hesitated a little and was honest with Takashi: "I... Well, please teach me some tricks."
He thought that after becoming a military policeman, the situation may also arise where he must fight criminals. Therefore, it is still necessary to learn some martial arts. Some instructors were teaching soldiers different ways of attacking and defending, but it is impossible to teach them all day after day.
During the next few days, Takashi and Jean learned some simple grappling and fighting. After learning something, Jean was eager to find someone else to fight.
Not to mention that maybe many people are superficial in this training, maybe because they are not very interested or because they did not find an instructor who taught them well, some of the partners were extremely tough like Mikasa who very few dared to challenge.
In the last confrontation with Takashi, Jean received a heavy blow. Her waist felt like he was about to snap in two and he fell to the ground on her side again, unable to get up for a while.
"Indeed, you are the only one who can beat me." Jean said with a shocked face.
As for what it was like to train with Takashi, Jean said that it was smooth.
Seeing this, Takashi shook his head and didn't dare to think that he could beat everyone without making direct use of his Chakra.
Although Jean always lost to Takashi, he was not beaten so hard only until the end. But Jean learned diligently with Takashi and went cheerfully to challenge others from time to time, winning some clashes and losing definitely less
"It turns out that fighting is great!" shouted Jean excitedly.
Thus a month and a half passed.
In the melee class on this day, Takashi was sitting under a tree watching everyone training rigorously.
He had challenged many people and also taught many of the cadets different ways of fighting.
He looked around and found that there were actually all kinds of gods in the fighting class.
Marco and his teammates practiced seriously, and Jean ran to challenge the others again. Christa seriously attacked Mikasa with a wooden dagger, but Mikasa easily dodged it.
Connie... Connie raised a "snake hand" and attacked Sasha with bright eyes.
Takashi would be ashamed to say he was Sasha's partner.
He then focused his attention on the glowing Eren Jaeger.
"Sburst!"
Takashi watched Eren throw Rainer, who fell to the ground. For some reason, he felt that Reiner was going easy on Eren.
Takashi had to say that if Reiner was pretending to be weak, his level of acting was exceptional, he was doing quite well but Takashi couldn't understand why he was holding back so much.
"What is Reiner hiding?"
Of course, Reiner might be hiding her true abilities, but she couldn't be compared to Annie from afar, who didn't hide her incredible fighting skills.
At that moment, Annie walked past Reiner and was about to leave when she was stopped by Reiner. She then urged Eren to engage her. The proceedings were neither flashy nor brilliant. Eren was easily taken down by Annie.
Annie had good martial arts skills and Eren was no serious match for her.
Then, Reiner, who was smiling at the result, was hit in the same way.
"It's not like I threw you for using my strength, sometimes weak people have to resort to defense techniques against stronger ones." Annie said as she threw the gun in his hand. "It won't hurt you to know these kinds of moves."
Annie let go of Eren and combed her bangs, "For someone with the same aspirations as Takashi, your skills don't do justice to the dreams you have."
"What good will combat techniques against titans do me?" Eren said with a frustrated expression.
"Do you still want to learn fighting techniques?" asked Annie with a cold stare.
"Really? Maybe we could learn our fighting techniques and get to know each other better." Takashi slowly approached Annie.
In the anime, Annie demonstrated excellent fighting techniques. After her secret observation for ten days, Takashi determined that she was a worthy opponent for a fight. Without making use of his Chakra in a fight, he wasn't sure he could win.
"It's time to take on someone worthy to fight, her skills are good to see how far I currently stand." Takashi thought to himself.
