On the fifth day after Eren became a Titan and sealed the gate of the Trost district, a big man arrived from the inner city and Eren's trial was about to begin.
Early in the morning, Takashi and the others were having breakfast, although the atmosphere was sad, everyone tried to maintain a normal atmosphere.
Jean sat down on a chair, took a bite of bread bitterly and said to the person next to her, "Hey, you know, how many people call that idiot with a hero complex as the savior!"
Connie rested his chin on his shand and said faintly, "A savior sounds great, many are taking confidence that you can retake the Maria wall with his power."
Sasha's eyes lit up and she suddenly thought, "Can you eat meat every day when you become a savior?"
She thought too much about that title. Eren was a human with the ability to become a titan, very few people could consider him a source of light. These days, Eren was eating food under a prison and was insulted by the military police regiment all that time.
"Now so famous, maybe he will be recorded in the history books, that's already something amazing, many people can only die in corners who nobody cares about." Jean said as he remembered his friend Marco Bott.
Armin, who kept a tense expression, remarked, "I'm afraid that's not a good thing. That will bring big trouble to Eren's trial. People in high places or in the gendarmerie corps won't want someone with that reputation!"
"Not only that, Eren's power can't be under the control of any corps and to put it simply, Eren is a very dangerous factor." Takashi thought to himself and said, "Well, in Eren's situation everything is bad."
Sasha looked at Eren and asked, "Is it that bad?"
Takashi shook his head and explained, "Not so much, even though I don't have an opinion about Eren and his situation, I hope it's the best not only for Eren, but also for humanity."
"That's true, if humanity needs a savior in order to win our war, it means that all powers combined may be less powerful than him, and when humanity has to rely on the power of one person to be saved, it proves that we are in a dangerous situation."
After saying that, Takashi continued eating his breakfast.
Jean put her hand to his forehead and chuckled: "Ha, Takashi, you're right!"
"But why did you suddenly become a serious man, didn't you talk jokingly all the time before?"
You also have to know all that Takashi had experienced, he not only lost friends, but also somehow feels responsible for that.
Those who sweat more now, will bleed less in the future. If you don't push yourself, you don't know the most you can take.
Unbeknownst to Jean, Sasha stole a loaf of bread from her plate.
"Haha!"
Connie and Sasha laughed, Armin couldn't help but chuckle, and Mikasa snorted softly.
Before everyone could speak further, soldiers from the military police regiment arrived and asked Takashi, Mikasa and Armin to serve as witnesses in today's trial.
The two military police soldiers were arrogant, raised their heads slightly, looked superior and looked at people as if they were inferior to them for fear that someone would not recognize their status.
Takashi smiled slightly and followed Armin and Mikasa along with the two military police soldiers.
Not only the three of them were summoned, but also Rico and Ian, the survivors of the first operation, were called to the trial to serve as Eren's witnesses.
Eren's situation is very special and military trials are usually not so special. This time a special trial was held on the general opinion of the whole army about Eren.
The commander of the three military divisions, the highest rank of humanity's army, Darius Zackly will have the final decision on Eren's fate.
At this point, Eren had not yet been mentioned, and Takashi who was in the courtroom looked around curiously.
Many people came, more than twenty people from the civilian class, more than twenty people from the business class, and soldiers from lower to higher ranks from the three army corps.
Pixis, the supreme commander of the garrison corps, was present, followed by some members like Rita, Anka and Gustav.
The head of the gendarmerie, Nile Dok, was also present, as well as some of the senior military commanders of the military police.
The Survey Corps was also present with Commander Erwin Smith, next to him was Takashi's uncle Levi, as well as some elites of the Survey Corps.
And the Wall cult could not be missed, arriving with some priests, led by Father Nick.
It could be said that all classes of any nature were present, and this special conference that will decide the fate of Eren Jaeger, a soldier with the ability to become a titan, will be under the evaluation of the commander of the three military divisions, Darius Zackly who holds the position of Judge.
Dairus Zackly is known to be the supreme commander of the three army corps. On the surface, he maintains a mind focused on solving problems as quickly as possible.
This trial focuses on politics, he will personally judge the problem and what is at stake, if he feels that Eren's existence does more harm than good, he will not hesitate to execute Eren.
Now, Commander Dairus Zackly is sitting in the supreme seat of the court at the moment. Because he is focused on solving problems, he didn't care about his attire in this trial. For the moment, dressed in a white T-shirt, his hair was gray as was his mustache and beard, without anger or pride, he maintained a serene expression throughout.
It can be said that on the surface, no one would have guessed that this person is actually an old man with twisted thoughts... ahem, this person is actually an old artist.
After all, he wouldn't mind doing anything to make those nobles who only think of themselves pay. Dairus Zackly, he is willing to do everything possible that his abilities allow him not for humanity, and his actions were not full of drama.
After all, with his position, Dairus Zackly has seen the worst that hide these walls and the true face of the nobles.
After a while, Eren was led handcuffed towards the center of the room. The savior had been having a hard time recently. Eren was accused of many things that until recently he had known, he was on the verge of mental collapse.
After two military police soldiers brought him in. Mike noticed that Eren's smell was different, he remembers it was different from when he first met him.
When Eren was crouched down and handcuffed to an iron bar, the trial officially began.
The commander of the three military corps, Dairus, in a white T-shirt said, "Okay, let's begin."
"You are Eren Jaeger right?" Dairus Zackly asked and said, "You are a soldier who pledged to dedicate your life to the King. Is that correct?"
"Yes, sir." Eren Jaeger said.
"You are an exceptional case. It is outside the bounds of common law, therefore, we convene a special court. The final decision will be rendered by me and we will also deliberate whether you live or die."
After saying that, Dairus Zackly asked, "Do you have any objections?"
"None, sir." Eren replied matter-of-factly.
"I'm glad you're so cooperative." Dairus Zackly said, "Let me tell you this bluntly. Hiding your existence has proven to be impossible. Unless we take matters into our own hands about your existence, we will have to face a new threat in addition to the titans."
"This court has the task of deciding which force will have custody of you, the military police or the Survey Corps, first let's hear the military police's proposal."
Next, Military Police Regimental Chief Nile Dok and Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps stated their plans for dealing with Eren.
The Military Police Corps thought that after examining and surveying Eren's body, executing him would be seen as the highest honor Eren could get after his death.
Captain Erwin of the Survey Corps proposed that Eren join the Survey Corps and use or rely on Eren's power to take back the Wall of Mary.
People from both sides argued, and people from the merchant class, the civilian class and the cult also talked.
The cult personnel on the ramparts are nothing but trash. They hate the Survey Corps and all those who want to damage the walls. After all, whoever wants to touch the wall, they can't get along with any of their cult.
Eren, who blocked the gate, was accused by Father Nick. They also did not allow the garrison regiments to reinforce the city walls, the merchants said they would block the gates of the various cities in the walls and called them idiots. In short, only they can understand the greatness of God, and the miracle of the walls can not be defiled.
Everyone insisted on their own opinions, and the trial was discussed all the time.
The difference from the original situation was that Eren did not lose control after becoming a titan in the battle of reconquest, nor did he strike Mikasa three times. Therefore, the military police had to do something else.
The head of the military police regiment, Nile Dok, held up a piece of paper and said aloud, "Eren Jaeger has serious violent tendencies. According to our investigation, he and his friend Mikasa Ackerman at a young age killed three adults, two were said to have been killed by Eren and one by the Ackerman girl."
"Although it can be understood as a justifiable defense, their character is really questionable. Should we put our talents, funds, and fate in the hands of such people? Moreover, during the battle of reconquest, he stood still and did not obey orders!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the room, Eren and Mikasa's faces were ugly, this experience was not pleasant.
"They have nothing to attack Eren with, this is worthless and in everyone's eyes, it means nothing for Eren's future." Takashi thought to himself.
