Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

"Have you heard? This time, the deputy commander of the Survey Corps is here to preside over the recruitment meeting. This has never happened before!"

"Survey Corps...I heard that the recent exploration activity outside the wall was also heavy in casualties. The casualty rate is too high. I still prefer the Military Police and the Garrison Corps."

"You should pass the conscription meeting first before talking about this. There are only three vacancies in our district this time!"

"Not necessarily. If you are good enough, even if there are not enough places, the position and power of the deputy head should be able to increase the number of places appropriately."

"The key is that you have to show your ability to make the deputy leader excited enough. Can you do it?"

"How do you know if it works if you haven't tried it!"

"...."

Without joining the discussion, after entering the square, Ronan relied on his extraordinary strength to squeeze to the front, and finally saw the person in charge of this conference~ Erwin Smith, the current deputy commander of the Survey Corps.

Seeing this character who left a strong impression in the original plot so closely, Ronan was a little excited.

But when he noticed the petite figure standing next to Erwin with a cold face, his eyes shrank.

That person was none other than Levi Ackerman, who was so powerful that he was known as the strongest human.

Levi at this time period obviously had not yet become a captain, but the indifferent aura of keeping strangers away made people dare not to approach.

And his perception was very sharp, as if he noticed Ronan's gaze, and he swept his eyes over at the first time.

Subconsciously retracting his gaze, Ronan felt a little weird in his heart, because he found that Levi's height seemed to be not as tall as himself.

Well, Captain"1.5 meters"...It's confirmed!

At the same time,~

"What's wrong? ~" Erwin turned his head and glanced at Levi.

The latter still looked indifferent and said calmly:"Nothing, most people have arrived, it's time to start"

""Hmm~"

Looking at the crowd of people discussing in the square, Erwin gave a look to the guard who was waiting for orders.

The guard immediately ran to the balcony and rang the bell.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~~"

The deep and loud bell rang, interrupting the discussion of the crowd. Seeing Erwin standing at the platform and watching the square, everyone stopped discussing and stared at Erwin quietly, waiting for instructions.

The square, which was a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.

After all, the person standing in front of them was the powerful deputy commander of the Survey Corps. If he was upset, everyone present would be in trouble. The stinky-faced dwarf guard standing next to the deputy commander had a terrifying look in his eyes.

Looking at the crowd that had already quieted down, Erwin didn't say too much nonsense and went straight to the point:

"I am Erwin Smith, the deputy commander of the Survey Corps, in charge of this recruitment meeting in the Shiganshina District. In principle, there are only three places here, but if you can show your qualities that make me excited, it is not impossible to make an exception and admit you~"

Hearing this, most of the participants present were excited.

Every extra place means that their probability of being admitted is a little higher.

Ronan seemed very calm about this. As long as the other party is not blind and there is no internal quota, he does not think that he will be rejected with his current qualities.

And Erwin just said it very clearly that the standard for exceptional admission is to show qualities that make him excited enough.

Referring to Levi beside him, Ronan did not think that there would be a second person in the square who could make Erwin excited except himself.

Reality did not give Ronan the opportunity to think about this, and Erwin spoke again...

"This conference is divided into three rounds. The first round is a physical fitness test. Except for the top 100 people, all others will be eliminated!"

A very simple and crude test item...

Soon, under the organization of relevant personnel, Ronan and the others began to run around the garrison.

Running was the easiest thing.

Without any intention of holding back or hiding his strength, Ronan went all out from the beginning and ran at the front of the team. His speed was very fast, which attracted widespread attention.

"I don't know how many laps I have to run, but this kid is so desperate. A kid is a kid, he only cares about showing off.~"

"Good, one less competitor."

"Not just one, look at those guys, they all couldn't help but follow, they will soon be unable to hold on, they are still too young"

"..."

After just a few glances, everyone stopped paying attention to Ronan and the guys who followed him and sped up, and kept their own pace steadily.

Since it was a test of endurance, it would definitely not be just one lap, and physical energy distribution must be taken seriously.

But soon, the expected scene of exhaustion and slowing down never appeared. Until everyone following behind him slowed down and fell, Ronan's running speed did not fluctuate much, and there was no sign of exhaustion at all.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of Erwin on the platform.

"This little guy is in pretty good shape.~"

"He is just a little brat who likes to show off. Levi said calmly.

However, his eyes were fixed on Ronan involuntarily, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes....

At this time, Ronan stood out and ran ahead of everyone else, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.

"call...call..."

The physical training that he had been doing every day for more than three months showed its effect at this moment. Ronan's breathing was steady, his running rhythm remained unchanged, and his face looked normal. He didn't look like a person who had run nearly 2,000 meters.

Soon, one lap was over, and Ronan opened up a gap of nearly 300 meters between him and the second place.

The advantage was not small.

Just as he was preparing for the second lap, he was stopped by the soldiers on the sidelines….
