POWER {Levi x Reader} REWRITING

Chapter 12

Apparently, Levi became a captain of his own squad.

Why wasn't I promoted? I've been here just as long as Levi has and I'm still only a cadet!

My legs had felt a lot better. They healed extremely fast, which was unnormal, but I had Hanji do some testing on it. She said she has no idea what's going on so far, but she'll figure it out sooner or later.

I fumed through the hallways extremely pissed about not being promoted to the next rank. There was a dark aura surrounding my body.

Maybe it's because I haven't done anything extraordinarily...Levi...heichou...*shudder* has been doing tons of stuff...

"Hey, (Y/N)!" Someone shouted my name, waving their arm at me.

Oh, just Oulo.

I'm not in the mood to talk to you...

I rush past him as if I hadn't heard a word he said. He tched and followed behind me.

"H-hey, brat! Don't you just ignore me! Where are you going!?" He yelled as he began to jog to catch up to my quick walking.

"To the training grounds. I wish to speak with Levi." I answered his stupid question and picked up my pace. I was surprisingly a very fast walker.

"About what?" He asked.

I wasn't the type to lose my temper with someone, but the game of twenty questions on top of me already being kissed off was really getting to me. "Shut up! Why do you even want to know!? Go talk to Petra or Eld or something!" I screamed at Oulo and ran away towards the training grounds.

Just as I expected, there was Levi. He was in a hand-to-hand combat match with a woman, shockingly. Usually during these, the women paired up with women and the men paired with men.

The woman held a brown wooded dagger in her left hand. Her face was badly bruised, while Levi had no wooden dagger, and his face was left unscratched. He had his usual bored expression.

I didn't care if they were in the middle of a fight. I needed answers!

I jog in between the two and push Levi away from the woman who looked confused.

"Oi, what the fuck?" He asked, with a slight bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Why the fuck were you given the title of "captain"!?" I frowned as he slightly chuckled.

"Because, I'm talented. I know battle tactics, unlike you, and I can kill plenty of titans on my own, unlike you. Even shitty-glasses was promoted." He chuckled again.

You crossed your arms at this statement. "I'm talented too, you asshole."

"Say that to the old you who almost got raped, and almost got eaten by multiple titans." Levi began to walk over towards his favorite spot on the training grounds. There was a tall tree he loved sitting under because it would sometimes drop apples that he would snack on.

I followed suit and climbed up the tree as he just stood with a leg pent up against its bark.

"It's different now though, Levi. I feel...strong...you know what I mean?" I didn't know how to explain it in details, but it felt as if I just...knew the capabilities of my new found strength, and knew exactly what to do with it. I explained it as best I could to Levi and he nodded.

"Sounds like something I had when I was a child back in the Underground." Levi ran his fingers through his dark black hair and sighed. "It's probably nothing. You've been training, right? That's probably all it is"

"No, Levi. Look.." I hopped down from the branch I sat on to show Levi the things I showed to Hanji. I showed him the golden streaks in my hair, and how much I've gotten skinnier. I leaned in close to his face to show him the silver tints in my (e/c) orbs. "You tell me this is because of training." I smirk and sit down next to his leg.

"Did you ask four-eyes about it?" He sits down nexts to me.

"Yup. So far, she has no clue what's going on, but it's not normal. She's running tests as we speak."

"Ah..." Levi began to stare off blankly at the people on the field fighting. "So can you fight now?" He randomly asks.

"Um, well, I can walk perfectly fine, and my ribs no longer hurt. I healed extremely fast, so I guess yes." I shrugged.

"Fight me."

"B-but you're a captain! I'm still a cadet. I don't think that'd be appropriate."

"That woman over there I was fighting before you interrupted was a cadet. Who cares? Get up and fight me. I want to test your new 'strength'". He stood up and gestured for me to follow him towards the field.

I sighed. I knew I was going to get my ass kicked, but I still followed suit.

Levi stood in position with no defense upon him. I heard the laughter of people in the background mocking me and saying how they would plan my funeral.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.

Levi has crazy power for such a short man! I heard he hasn't lost not one match yet!

I stood a couple of feet away from him with my arms held in front of my gut and in front of head with my feet in awkward positions.

Levi didn't rush at me, surprisingly. I ran up towards him trying to trick him into thinking I would kick his leg, but instead, sock him in the head. He caught onto this plan quickly and held my leg up, body slamming me to the ground with his body force. I grunt at the pain as we wrestle on the ground.

A week ago I wouldn't had lasted 3 seconds, but it seems I'm putting up more of a struggle for him even if I am still losing.

I push at his face and kick my legs to try and get him off of me, but it didn't work. He slightly lifted his body pressure off as he kneed me deep in my arm.

I screamed in pain and saw a slight look of guilt in his eyes as he immediately picked his knee back up.

"I'm sorry." he held his hand out towards me and helped me back on me feet. He saw how dirty I was, and immediately dropped me back into the dirt.

"Wow, thanks." I say sarcastically.

"I'm a surperior now. I urge you treat me with respect."

I stick my tongue out at him and help myself back onto my feet.

"So...have you picked your squad members yet?" I ask as I hop onto his back, shocking him and causing him to grunt from the sudden weight. He wrapped his arms around my legs and straightened his back. I heard a few "Ooh's" from the people on the training grounds, and caught Petra staring at us with a look of sadness pasted onto her face.

"Yeah. I picked early this morning."

"Who did you pick? I better be on your squad! I wasn't informed!"

"Petra, Eld, Olou, and Gunter."

"Not me!?" I slap his shoulder.

"And (Y/N)" he adds.

"Yay! I'm going to actually see you all the time now, and not just in the Mess Halls or in training!" I give him a slight hug and he flinches. Levi carried me all the way back inside into the Mess Hall just to grab himself a cup of black-tea.
