Ackerbond [Eruri] [COMPLETED]

Training⁸

Heichou?" Eren repeated
Levi snapped out of the daze he was in

Eren was panting heavily

"Tch. With that stamina we're better off using the recruits."
Levi barely broke a sweat fighting Eren

"Why do I need to practice hand-to-hand combat anyway?" Eren sighed, a bit hurt

"If you're gonna fight the other freaks in your titan form you're gonna need it. What if you run into an abnormal? You're dead meat." Levi spat

"Oh you mean like when the female titan appeared?"

"The...yeah." Levi widened his eyes "Give me a thousand push-ups. I'll be back."

That damn brat.

Levi still had PTSD from when his entire squad was killed,which wasn't unusual. It would have been stranger had he not.

In any case, Humanity's Strongest couldn't in any scenario be seen as "fragile".

He was a symbol of strength.
Sucking it up was the only thing Levi could have done.

He ducked behind a bush, making sure he couldn't be seen and nobody was around

He sat down, staring up at the sky

"How old do you think he is?" Petra asked, absent-mindedly

"That's a bit of a rude question, isn't it?" Gunther sighed

"It's only rude if you ask a lady." Petra pouted

"Well, considering how much time it would take to become humanities strongest, i would guess he's not very young." Eld joined into the discussion

"He looks a lot younger than he probably is" Petra acknowledged

Maybe it was his height, or maybe his unnaturally clear skin. No wrinkles could be seen on it.

"Smart words for a hag.", Oluo tched, "Don't disrespect captain Levi."

"Hag? Have you seen yourself? You look like a senile old man!"

Eld tried to, unsuccessfully, break up the argument. It wasn't a rare sight. Oluo and Petra argued like an old married couple. Hating each other on the surface but still having the spark of young love present, faintly deep down.

"Me? Senile old man? I'll have you know i look very y-" Oluo bit his tounge. Blood was spraying out of it as a sign for Petra to go quiet.

She muttered a quick "Serves you right." under her breath

Oluo tried to respond, but to no avail. His tounge was still jammed under his teeth.

At that moment, Levi appeared around the corner.

"Good morning heichou!" Gunther exclaimed as Petra and the others turned around. They put their hands on their chests, saluting captain Levi.

"Good morning to you too brats."

He couldn't help but faintly smile

"I overheard your little conversation-" Petra's cheecks grew red of embarrassment at those words. Oluo flashed a look of smugness. "you wanted to know how old I am?

"Well we were just-" Eld opened his mouth

"Don't shit yourself brat. I'm not mad."

A certain aspect of Levi that the others could never get used to were his constant poop jokes, if they could even be called jokes. They were more like unnecessary remarks.
