Mikasa slowly approached Annie, and almost instantly, the two girls moved at the same time. Mikasa ran towards Annie as fast as a leopard, using both hands and feet, punches and elbows, she attacked Annie directly with a tidal wave of continuous attacks.
Annie retreated again and again, her strength and speed were obviously no match for Mikasa's, Annie held back the pain in her arms, she vigilantly blocked and held back Mikasa's attacks and steadied her movements, every now and then she would counterattack.
"Burst!"
Mikasa's side kick was blocked by Annie's bent knee, Annie stepped forward and the two front legs crossed, Annie hugged Mikasa's left hand with her left hand, wrapped her right hand around Mikasa's neck like a beautiful snake.
Mikasa then reacted. Quickly, her right arm hugged Annie's waist tightly, the two were entangled in an ambiguous posture, but each exerted their physical strength on the other, and it was difficult for both parties to keep their balance.
"It can't be such a heated fight." Takashi thought excitedly.
Mikasa and Annie fell to the ground at the same time, tangled and rolled around for several turns before separating, and then quickly got up at the same time. At this point, they both had some dust on their clothes, their hair was in disarray, and they looked a little embarrassed.
Neither Mikasa nor Annie had any intention of fixing their appearance and they looked at each other indifferently.
After a moment of confrontation, Mikasa and Annie ran towards each other again, with no intention of stopping! It seems that if there is no winner, it's impossible for them to stop.
"Bang! Pfft!"
This time, the two sides didn't keep their hands, fists covered their faces, elbows hit their chests, kicks hit their legs, no matter how hard they hit each other, they didn't stop.
The soldiers in the vicinity were stupefied.
Mikasa's attack was powerful, and her movements were lightning fast, gaining the upper hand.
Annie can only defend first against this arrogant attack, with a cold look in her eyes, waiting for the opportunity to find fault.
In terms of the skills of unloading, grabbing, holding and throwing, Annie is better, but Mikasa's physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, and strength and speed are higher than Annie's.
In addition, Mikasa is not completely pressed by strength and also has extraordinary fighting skills.
However, Mikasa's current fighting skills are not systematic and relatively scattered, but it will be difficult to tell in the future.
Takshi discovered that Christa on the right had covered her small mouth and seemed to be frightened by the brutal game of the two girls.
"What's wrong? It's for sure that Ymir is more aggressive, I can't help but say it." Takashi said quietly.
Mina was sweating on her forehead. "Is it really okay to hit like that, aren't they afraid of disfigurement?"
Not only girls, but many masculine men also feel a little afraid, this is not at all a normal training fight.
On the field, a round of attacks was blocked or missed, Mikasa's offensive slowed down and Annie instantly grabbed Mikasa's hands and placed them in front of her.
"Burst!"
Mikasa and Annie collided with each other, their foreheads touched, their eyes met and the two beautiful faces almost kissed.
"Is it a kiss?" Takashi felt that this was not the right script of the fight.
Annie hugged Mikasa's neck with both hands and stretched her right leg forward behind Mikasa's front leg, all the strength of her body exploded and she leaned forward, and Mikasa couldn't help but fall backwards.
However, she responded quickly, hugging Annie's waist with both hands again, forcibly twisting half of her body and falling to the ground face to face with Annie.
"Punch!"
After the two fell to the ground, Mikasa was pressed against the ground with her arms exerting force to Annie's strength, and one rolled and pressed Annie, but her hands were also pressed against the ground by Annie's back, and her neck was pressed by Annie.
It's quiet now, both of them can't stand up.
Mikasa was lying on top of Annie, and his arm could not be pulled out by the weight of the two people.
Mikasa looked at Annie's delicate face and said, "Let go of me, how long are you going to lie like this?"
Annie smiled, "Never mind, you can't hit me if I hold you like this."
The two looked at each other, not yielding to each other.
Annie lowered her voice and whispered, "Why do you care so much about Eren, is he just a family member?"
Mikasa's expression changed slightly and she said softly, "It has nothing to do with you!"
Annie: "I don't think boys like violent girls."
"Me, I wouldn't mind a violent woman." Takashi smiled before being hit by Ymir.
The voices of the two were very low, and others in the noisy training ground couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
Takashi just watched the confrontation with stars in his eyes, appreciating the brilliant techniques both girls were displaying.
Just as everything was about to get more intense, instructor Keith approached with other instructors and shouted, "Stop right now, the sparring is over."
When everyone heard the words den instructor Keith, they fell silent and slowly moved to the side.
"The instructors were a little late, well, it's not like there was a winner." Takashi thought silently.
Mina said, "That's all for today, class was dismissed."
"Too bad, I liked how things were going. If they had a few more minutes, the winner would have been Mikasa." Jean said with a bright smile.
"Stop talking nonsense, if they'd had a few more minutes, Annie would have come out the winner." Marco Bott disagreed with Jean Kirstein's words.
"Huh? Are you telling me Annie could have won?" Jean asked, slightly annoyed.
Takashi looked at this pair of friends and thought that the next moment they would fight to prove who would be the winner, Mikasa or Annie.
However, with instructor Keith's instruction, this dream duel had ended hastily and neither girl continued to fight.
In the end, it was not known who won and who lost.
Strangely enough, Eren still learned martial arts from Annie during the hand-to-hand combat training, but Mikasa and Annie did not fight again, as if everything had gone back to the way it was before.
Takashi was puzzled, is this the end, isn't there something else, isn't there a tiebreaker after the first season?
However, Takashi was one more of those who were left with those doubts in his memory.
...
Days passed, and the weather gradually became cooler. Today, Instructor Keith announced something to everyone.
Instructor Keith stood on the high platform and looked at everyone: "It is winter and the firewood is running out. In the last two days, everyone will go to cut firewood and you must send a special batch to the nearest garrison corps. I don't want any complaints, it won't be worse than training more tired."
"It's really inspiring." Takshi wiped away a fake tear.
Nelson looked at Takashi and smiled, "This is the first task we are assigned to support the garrison corps, it is said that this will continue to happen until the training corps is disbanded."
"You are right, we will possibly start with more important tasks some time later." Takashi nodded with understanding.
The garrison troops were known to be in charge of defending the wall from the titans, their main task was to improve the walls and repair them, patrol and maintain order within the walls.
However, many were not happy with the idea of chopping firewood for others when they had a goal of being soldiers.
Everyone was arguing for a while, but no one objected, not to mention whether the objection was useful or not, as Instructor Keith said, it would be no more strenuous than training.
...
After the assigned task to collect and cut firewood for the garrison army was handed over, all the soldiers of the training corps went to the forest to cut firewood.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was a large array of axes chopping large and small logs, "I can understand that we cut firewood to replenish the base's inventory, why should we send a batch to the garrison regiment?"
Connie wiped his sweat and voiced his thoughts, "I don't know, they should be able to buy it, wood isn't expensive anyway."
Takashi chopped down a small tree with an ax: "Maybe they can save some money to buy wine if they do it this way."
This sentence reminded Eren of Uncle Hennes the garrison soldier. Before the titans broke through the wall, he had been drunk all day. How much he hated all this before, but unfortunately he can't see it anymore.
Armin tied the cut firewood with and explained, "The instructor did not say why, but it's okay. I heard that soldiers in the training corps in the north often do this kind of thing."
"You don't have to guess, I know what's going on. According to my uncle, who was a garrison soldier, after the titans broke through Mary's Wall, the garrison soldiers at Rose's Wall began training to reacquaint themselves with the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment. Some are preparing, they know that sooner or later they will face the titans and by then they will be ready." Marco said suddenly.
Armin understood in an instant, "And the training must consume a lot of gas, blades, food and healing medicines, and after the fall of the Wall of Mary, we lost a third of the land and a tenth of the population, and taxes have also been reduced, so now the funding for the garrison regiment is also scarce."
Connie said, "It looks like everyone is having a hard time."
Sasha suddenly got a little angry, "I mean, the forest has been affected and there's no place to hunt."
Eren shouted excitedly, "I'll kill all the titans. Everyone knows the situation now, are you still thinking of running away?"
The scene was silent for a while and no one spoke, so this time Jean didn't stand up to mock Eren. In fact, she hasn't fought with Eren over this kind of thing since the last special training.
Of course, other little things are still loud in those two's mouths!
The current situation is that, unlike the peaceful life that had been undisturbed by the titans for over 100 years, the titans have become an unavoidable problem. Among the more than 200 soldiers in training, most will eventually join the garrison corps, except for the ten finalists who are eligible to join the military police regiment
Now it seems that the garrisoned corps is not as comfortable as before, reflecting the tense situation everywhere.
