Chereads / Attack of Titan: Defying Fate / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

He felt his body getting hot, and the fatigue from running just now instantly dissipated. Ronan's eyes lit up:

"No pain, no gain, every drop of sweat will be rewarded..."

Reciting these words of chicken soup silently, he suddenly realized

"Although the opening method is a bit messed up, at least it is still useful, and that's enough."Ronan breathed a sigh of relief

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~~"

Accompanied by a series of deep bell sounds, the tightly closed city gate slowly rose.

Eren beside him suddenly shouted:"Brother Ronan, look, the Survey Corps is back!"

Looking at Eren, who was excited and staring at the world outside the city gate with eyes full of desire, Ronan whispered, thinking back to the future plot:

"Eren, do you want to see the outside world?"

"think~�"

Without hesitation, Eren nodded:"Brother Ronan, I want to join the Survey Corps in the future!"

Looking at Eren's serious face, Ronan rubbed his hair and teased:"A nine-year-old kid wants to join the Survey Corps. The minimum income standard for the training corps is thirteen years old."

""Damn it, don't look down on me. I'm not qualified now, but when I turn thirteen, I will definitely join the Survey Corps!" Eren said loudly.

The people around him cast strange glances at him, with mixed emotions.

Some were reluctant, some were disdainful, some were disgusted, and some were indifferent....

Ignoring all this, Ronan looked at Eren and said seriously:"Come on, I believe you can do it!"

"Brother Ronan, you..."Eren was very excited.

It was at this time that the originally quiet crowd suddenly became agitated. A team of cavalrymen passed through the city gate and entered the city.

The Survey Corps is back!

There are four major corps under the royal government, namely the Training Corps responsible for training new recruits and supplying talents to the other three corps; the Military Police Corps with the power to live in the interior; the Garrison Corps responsible for strengthening the city walls and defending each city district; and the Survey Corps mainly responsible for patrolling outside the wall and hunting giants.

Among the four major corps, the Survey Corps has the least number of people, with only about a thousand people in total.

But there is no doubt that the Survey Corps, which often walks out of the city walls and confronts the giants head-on, is the most powerful corps among the four corps.

However, walking out of the city walls means high risks, and they are all deadly dangers.

Therefore, the mortality rate of the Survey Corps is also the highest among the four major corps.

At this time, looking at the people of the Survey Corps who slowly passed by in front of him, the bloody smell that came to his face made Ronan swallow his saliva, while Eren beside him looked indifferent, with excitement and admiration in his eyes.

"It's so nice to be innocent..."Ronan shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, he felt someone touching his hair, and a slightly hoarse voice came to his ears at the right time:

"Ronan, you're here again."

He raised his head and saw a tired-looking old man with gentle eyes. Ronan, who had relevant memories, quickly reacted:

"Uncle Keith..."

"big...Uncle...Do I look that old?" Keith touched his short hair, looking a little embarrassed.

The two Survey Corps members following behind him were laughing.

As the current leader of the Survey Corps, Keith has always been very serious, and it is rare for him to show such an embarrassed expression, which really opened their eyes and made them feel very novel, and even the sadness of the death of their teammates in their hearts dissipated a little.

Hearing this, Ronan took a deep breath and said firmly:"Uncle Keith, I am thirteen years old. I will apply to join the Training Corps next year. After graduation, I want to join the Survey Corps!"

"you..."

Looking at Ronan's determined eyes, Keith was silent for a while, his expression was very complicated, and finally everything turned into a sigh:

"You have eyes like your father....But you can't just join the Survey Corps if you want to. We only need the elite."After ruffling Ronan's hair again, Keith nodded and turned back to the team.

After watching his back disappear from sight, Ronan withdrew his gaze and felt a cold sweat on his back. He felt a little regretful and a little timid....But soon, all of this turned into determination.

It is impossible for him to stay in the city walls for the rest of his life, and even if he really does so without ambition, it is difficult to guarantee that he can survive the subsequent turmoil.

In order to survive, all Ronan can do is to become stronger, strive for a higher status, gain greater power, or even sit in the highest position. Only in this way can he completely control his own destiny.

Of course, all of this requires him to become strong enough and gain a wider network of contacts and background.

Entering the training corps and then joining the Survey Corps is undoubtedly the best way to advance at present.

High risk means high reward.

Moreover, the training in the training corps is very important to him. With his understanding of his golden finger, as long as he works hard enough and trains hard, the rewards will definitely be extraordinary.

As long as he becomes, or even surpasses the humanoid monster like Levi, the giant will not be a concern, and he can also gain enough power and interests in the royal government to better live in this world....Live on!
