[Comprehensive] Light and Shadow

The day of large-scale investigation outside the wall is getting closer, and the atmosphere in the survey corps is becoming more and more dignified day by day. The recruits keep in mind the death rate as high as [-]% that Captain Erwin said at the time, and in the last few days of training During the training, I felt even more uneasy. When I was in the training room on the last day, there was no sound in the huge room, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

In fact, to be honest, this is the same as an exam. On the last day, you will always work harder.When the investigation was only one day away, all the team members took this last class more seriously, and everyone hoped to get more intelligence and secrets to improve survival rate from the veterans.

However, the instructor who walked in this time was not the familiar members of the Survey Corps, but a strange man.

The purple hair fluttered in the air without desire, the man walked in lazily, the man who was clearly mature had an expression on his face, and lazily rubbed his misty eyes , a bit childish.

——Looking at this picture, it really seems that he was dragged out of bed before he woke up.

The man walked a few steps to the podium, then pulled the chair away with one hand, rubbed it against the ground with an unpleasant sound, then the man sat down, and then lay his head limply on the table, the dark green cloak was It was covered on the head, and both hands hung down to the ground.

——It really looks like it's half dead.

The team members sat on their seats one by one and looked at each other. They couldn't understand the current situation, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They could only stare at other people with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, they could see from everyone's eyes that The situation was completely unclear, so each of them continued to look at the sleeping man on the podium silently with comfort in their hearts.

"Jean, this man is Leo, right?" Amin lowered his voice and looked at Jean who was sitting in the row behind him.

Jean nodded to Amin, and then looked at the man lying on the podium. What is this man trying to do?

If it was said that Leo simply came to sleep, he would not believe it even if he was eaten by a giant.

[Remember that this land and sky still belong to human beings, so even if your hands and feet are bitten off, you are not allowed to give up.Since the same is going to perish, it is better to have the courage to die desperately with your own blood than to have the courage to be bitten to death in despair. 】

I think of the man's loud and loud words that day, I think of the man's thin back that seems to be able to support the entire broken sky, I think of the man's gesture of holding the knife handle with both hands as if he wants to split the world, I think of the man who was lost in the madness and blood. The redemption brought by men in moments.

This man, even though he only got along with him for a short time, pierced into the depths of his thoughts unshakably, and he was in awe that he couldn't help himself.

Jean's eyes burst out with excitement and reverence, and his fiery eyes fell on Leo who didn't know it.

At the same time, Amin and Mikasa sensed that the line of sight was not normal, looked at each other, and at the same time saw doubts in each other's eyes, but they didn't know what happened.

The relationship between Rang and the two of them is not particularly good. Although they are teammates, they are always a little alienated because of the relationship in the training camp before. I've been to Leo, but I don't know what it is.

The entire classroom was strangely silent, and occasionally the sound of notebook pages turning and a few whispers were heard, but everyone seemed to have some confirmation that the guy on the podium was indeed here to catch up on sleep.

The soldiers were all in a weird mood at this moment. The last class, which they thought was the most important, was going to end in such a weird way?

Suddenly there were hurried steps outside the classroom, a woman with short orange hair ran in, when she saw the imageless man lying sound asleep on the podium, her pupils immediately burst into anger, and she left without hesitation In the past, he lifted the dark green cloak and slammed it on the table, pulling Leo's ears hard.

"Leo, I didn't call you here to put you to sleep!" Tepera looked at Leo angrily.

"You just asked me to come here." Leo approached Tepela in pain, his ears were pulled so painfully, and the subtext of this sentence was probably that I came here according to your request, and this has already completed the task.

"Fuck you, don't you know that the mobilization on the last day is very important!" Tepera looked at Leo, who knew nothing wrong, and immediately twirled the man's ears even more angrily. At this moment, his usual gentle and mature posture Collapsing, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Leo dangerously.

It was less than 24 hours before the investigation outside the wall, and even the veterans would be nervous, not to mention the new recruits who had just entered the Corps and had not experienced heavy wind and rain, the final mobilization was even more important.

Originally Tepera thought that Leo, who has always been lazy, is very approachable when he smiles, and he is quite good at treating Allen, not to mention that Leo is sometimes better than the leader when he speaks beautiful words.

So, thinking about it this way, Tepera pulled Leo out of the quilt early in the morning, and then rushed here in a coercive and tempting manner. Who knows that he was reported by the soldiers before he stayed in the headquarters for a long time, this guy I have been sleeping since I entered the classroom.

"It's important that you ask me to come over." Leo took a lot of effort to free his red ears, rubbing his ears with grinning teeth, obviously unable to bear the pain.

"..." Tepela suddenly felt that this was indeed his fault, and it was not a person's trust.

The soldiers under the podium looked at the scene in front of them even more at a loss. The original tall image of the survey corps elite suddenly collapsed in their hearts. Not so cold and cruel.

"Who can't say beautiful words?" Leo glanced at the soldiers who were all watching him and Tepela.

"Then tell me." Tepela frowned, sneered and slapped Leo onto the podium from behind.

"If you ask me to say it, I'll say it. It's not very embarrassing." Leo staggered a few steps, and finally stood firmly on the podium, but looked at Tepera with a bad expression.

"I don't mind telling the captain what happened just now." Tepera smiled brightly, but Leo shivered all over.

"Ahem." Leo cleared his throat immediately, and then looked at the audience with a haughty face, "I am the elite of the Survey Corps, Leo."

All the soldiers in the audience pursed their lips silently, only thinking that the man on the stage was deliberately pretending to be awkward.

Unknowingly, the tense nerves suddenly became idle. Although it is a good thing to relax, it is difficult to mobilize the blood.

"Even if the plan this time is to go and return, it sounds like the danger is not that great, but as soldiers, you should also understand that the possibility of death in every investigation outside the wall is very high." Leo Holding the platform with both hands, he casually glanced at the expressions of every soldier sitting under the platform.

"..." The expressions of the soldiers suddenly became serious. Speaking of which, isn't this really a mobilization to shake people's hearts?

"Maybe I will sacrifice tomorrow, so eat well and sleep well today, and fulfill any wishes first." Leo said with a smile.

"..." The faces of the soldiers were all stiff, their hands clenched into fists, and their eyes wandered away from the smiling man's face.Didn't this just make it clear that he might die tomorrow, so he fulfilled his last wish long ago before going to die?

"I, every time before the action, I go with the determination to die tomorrow, so every moment of the last day before the action is of great significance to me, but my precious moments are wasted on you bunch of dejected faces. Come on, soldier." Leo said, squinting his eyes slightly, but the originally gentle smile at the corners of his mouth showed a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"..." To be honest, the innocent soldiers also said that they didn't want to see you in the first place.

"In this world, everyone has a reason to live." The smile on the man's face gradually faded, his eyes slowly lifted up, and his purple pupils were staring at the audience below the stage seriously. Soldiers, "It can be for human freedom, it can be to get out of this small city, it can be for dead lovers and partners, or it can just want to live."

"At the same time, everyone has a reason to die." The man stood upright, and the standard military posture made the man break away from the lazy image just now, with a straight collar and a shiny badge. The tight black belt perfectly outlines the line of the figure, and now Leo really looks like an elite of the Survey Corps, "And this reason comes from your determination."

"I have never been afraid of death, because I believe that death will not be my final destination." The man's voice cut through the air like a blade, and his eyes showed firmness and determination that cannot be ignored. "Our existence is the sharp blade of human beings. The world pointed by the blade belongs to human beings, and if you work hard on this belief, even if you shed your own blood, you must stain the land with the badge of human freedom!"

"Human beings have been surrounded by walls for hundreds of years, human beings have been surrounded by giants for hundreds of years, human beings have been surrounded by cages of fear that they have forged for hundreds of years, and I believe that one day human beings will break free from the iron cage and get— Freedom!" Leo stood quietly on the stage, but as if he was standing on the skyline, his eyes extended to the farthest future that human beings could not see.

"I am a soldier who has long sworn to dedicate my heart to the revival of mankind. If I can follow this belief until I sacrifice my life, I will die without regret." Leo stretched out his hand and lifted the cloak on the table, Then put on the cloak, the emblem of the Wings of Liberty was shining in the sun, as if it would flap its wings and fly in the next second, soaring above the vast sky.

"I will obey this honor in my heart and never let go of the sharp knife in my hand until the final victory."

Everyone's blood seemed to be boiling at this moment, and the scorching blood was about to evaporate.

At that moment, the sun seemed to be extraordinarily hot. When the light became clearer and clearer, people seemed to see the burning sun, unable to hide the desire in their hearts. Even if the flesh and blood were cracked and the bones were crushed, human beings would move forward desperately. .

"Let me petition the glory of humanity, even if I am about to die, I will defend freedom until I die."

The purple-haired man stood quietly in front of the soldiers, with the wings of freedom on his back, and the determination he held tightly in his hand was burning against his left chest.

"For freedom, offer your heart!"

There was no hesitation in those purple pupils, only determination and passion.

This is the glory, the glory of being a soldier.

All the soldiers stood up at this moment, their hands trembling, as if they were about to burn their palms, sweat slowly oozing out.He clenched his left hand tightly and clasped it hard against the beating heart in a standard military posture. The excitement in his chest that seemed to burn himself almost caused the blood in his whole body to boil and tremble uncontrollably. The answer in his heart did not hesitate. blurted out:

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Leo walked out of the classroom with steady steps and without taking a second look.

But as soon as he walked out of the classroom, the man's vigorous face immediately disappeared, and he yawned lazily. Then, when he saw the man standing against the wall from the corner of his eyes, Leo frowned slightly, and his eyes became more sad.

"Levi, since you're here, why is Tepera dragging me here?"

"This is your only value." Levi raised his eyes lightly, his tone was cold, and he couldn't see whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Leo's performance.

"Really?" Leo wasn't angry, but his eyes lit up, and he approached Levi a few steps, with a bright smile on his face, "Then praise me more."

Levi looked at Leo coldly, as if looking at trash, but Leo was completely unaware of it and had no effect.

"Exploit me a little more, empty out my body, empty out my mind, and use up my value to disappear." Leo raised his eyebrows, his fingers slightly touched Levi's hand, and then shook She held the man's hand, but her fingers slowly caressed the calluses on the man's hand.

"Then, let's do an unequal exchange again." The corners of Leo's mouth were stained with fanaticism, and the arc of his mouth was stained with arrogance. Only the unattachable man is qualified to stay in the world of men.

With a "swish", the door suddenly opened, and Tepera stood at the door, staring blankly at the two people standing on the wall next to the door.

Levi's back was leaning against the wall, his eyes were as arrogant and cold as ever, while Leo was holding the man's hand tightly, his eyes were obviously hot, his body was close to the man, and he moved ambiguously to the man's cheek.

Tepela's eyes suddenly showed the resentment of [this bastard came to moles the commander again], then took a deep breath, and looked at Leo, who must be the instigator, with hatred, "Are you running out of energy again? Can you please restrain yourself in public?"

Leo looked away from Levi, looked at Tepera with some dissatisfaction, and closed the door behind him, "You went to the wrong door."

"Shh!"

Sitting on the seat to pack up the materials, the soldiers who were about to leave heard the sudden forceful closing of the door, and Tepela was standing at the door, a little strange what happened, or can they not leave now?

Tepela turned to look at the soldiers in the classroom, the smile on his face was stiff and far-fetched, and his glass-like eyes were also mixed with violent anger.There is only one door in total, how could my old lady go to the wrong door!

Moreover, what do you want to stand at the door, the weird team members molested the terrifying captain, is this to intimidate all the soldiers?

"Excuse me, is today's training session over?" Finally a soldier raised his hand and asked seriously.

"No." Tepera shook his head with a smile, and stood back on the podium again, but his eyes seemed to be piercing through the door with a bit of ferocity.Afterwards, the sound of sitting back to their seats was sparse, and the soldiers sat silently and upright, continuing to wait for Tepela's guidance.

"The last training today is to jump from the window." Tepela silently moved his eyes away from the only door, and then looked at the only way out of the classroom. A test of physical proficiency, I need you to be orderly and quietly jump out of the window."

"Yes!" The honest soldiers immediately answered loudly.

Amin: "Mikasa, do you think there is something wrong?"

Mikasa: "Training?"

Amin: "Obviously she said it was to exercise balance and physical proficiency..."

Mikasa: "Yes."

Amin: "This is the first floor, isn't it?"

After the mobilization, each soldier jumped out of the window on the first floor with the determination to die

——Isn’t this really strange?
