Note: For those who might be confused, here's the explanation behind what just happened:
Eren, using the powers of the Founding Titan, altered the memories of everyone present—the people who witnessed his immense power, like his one-hit strikes that turned enemies into dust, his Fire Surge that engulfed his fists in flames, or his healing abilities.
But how did he do that well system right? But why were the others reacting like what is Eren doing there? Where are the bandits and stuff? Well...It all stemmed from the moment when Eren touched Historia (royal blood) unlocking a fragment of the Founding Titan's abilities. With this power, he was able to manipulate the memories of those around him.
What Eren showed them was a fabricated version of the events: he made them believe they had been ambushed, and that Eren had heroically stepped in, saving them by taking the shots and suffering the injuries on their behalf.
They remembered only the heroism, the sacrifice, the protection. The pain and destruction he unleashed on their enemies was erased, leaving only the image of their savior.
But Mikasa—Mikasa Ackerman—was different. Her memories weren't erased.
Mikasa retained the memories of what truly happened: the power Eren had wielded, the darkness he had unleashed, and the cost it had exacted on him. She saw the truth, and when Eren collapsed before her, she alone knew what he had truly become.
What she wasn't aware of....
That just how strong Eren actually is. Since when he collapsed it was just a fake out. The bullets they were nothing compared to what he's been through. To avoid any attention or questions from cadets right there he pretended to faint.

This fiction would be a bit complicated ngl it'd be hard to keep up but I'll try to summarize stuff if it's a bit to hard to understand but know that in this AU Eren would just use everyone as tools nothing else.... Except for some.
