"I never said ent- You, I'm going to kill those three for being so smug over knowing. They'll be laughing at me for days" Erwin started to snap before his eyes fell to the person who entered his office, changing his attitude since he knew she would give it straight back. 

"I want to join the Survey Corps but I can't sign that form, I stole one on Monday and read it over to understand what I'll be agreeing with but there's one part I can't just give" Mikasa spoke, ignoring Erwin displeasure as she closed the door behind her. 

"The form, it has my name down as the one you'll promise to serve under. You won't give me your full loyalty as the form demands" Erwin sighed as he leaned back on his chair while Mikasa walked towards him.

"I can accept you as my commander, I'll follow the orders you give but I won't be enslaved by you like every other soldier will be. I've copied the from, retrying it with Hanji type writer when she wasn't around. I've changed one detail and added that you'll be my commander, meaning I will serve under you but I won't give my heart to you like everyone else will later" Mikasa calmly spoke, coming to a stop by his desk and holding the form out.

They only had a single hour before the other's would come to his office, knocking on the door and enter as he allows them. All of them standing in line, listening to his speech before finally signing their forms and becoming full fledge survey corps soldiers. She had a single hour left to either stay or ask for a transform and her fate rested in Erwin decision.

"It doesn't have my stamp or the Survey stamp added in the corners yet, you clearly have enough respect for me to not stamp them behind my back" Erwin commented as he looked to the left corner where the regiment stamp would be placed on the form to show what company it belonged to and then the commander at the time stamp to show who they'll follow after till their deaths, of course if a new commander takes over they follow after them without having to add a new stamp since it had the Survey Crops stamp on it. The right corner needed his personal signature just like ever other form already had on. He would stamp it on and keep already done forms in his room to just pass out to new recruits when they joined up. 

"Three years ago, we talked in this room and I learnt something over you. I also gave you an option and couldn't help but respect you over the answers you gave me. In truth, I still hold the respect from that day and I know what will happen if I don't agree to your version of this form. But tell me, will he learn over this .. will he learn over what you're suggesting?" Erwin replied, lifting a curious eyebrow as he looked to her. She had grown in the three years but she stood a little prouder as well, knowing where she stands to the world and to herself. She was a soldier he needed but he knew the cost for having her.

"You told me to chose and I have, I don't regret this. So, please, either reject this form or accept it. I won't sign any other form apart from that one" Mikasa calmly spoke, meeting with Erwin eyes and showing her serious she was over this. She was willing to risk her own selfish future with that single big of paper and yet she won't regret using it.

"I accept, I feared for when this day would come because you'll be doing something never done before. But in truth, I'm rather glad to be one who helps change the rules a little. I agree and I won't allow you to join unless you sign this form alone" Erwin smiled, grabbing the survey stamp, placing it in the red ink before slamming the stamper down on the corner. Grabbing his personal stamp, placing it in green ink before stamping it beside the other one.
