Chapter 3
On a field, many people, all dressed in uniform, form rows.
In front of these rows, a rather tall man delivers a speech.
"Welcome to the 104th brigade, the admission ceremony is about to begin, unfortunately for you I will be leading your training, I am instructor sergeant Keith Shadis, don't expect nice pep talks from me." shouted the old bald man with a goatee.
It's been a year since I arrived in this world. Since then I have been training my body every day, apart from that I have been trying to recall my memory, but I haven't made any progress, my memories are as if sealed.
Today is the day of the 104th brigade admission ceremony, I decided to join to be close to the canon character, other than that, I have to train in every way, the world I will go to in the future will be more difficult to live, and I don't even know if someone from the afterlife system will come to get me.
My skill creation cooldown is almost over, only 12 hours left and I can finally start my plan.
Waking up from my thought, I listen to the speech of instructor Shadis.
"You are nothing, you are just food for Titan, you are cattle in their eyes and mine, for three years we are going to train you to be real soldiers, we are going to teach you the techniques used to fight titans."
"The day you finally stand up to them, will you become their dessert?"
"Will you be part of the wall that protects our king? Or will you be the spearhead of humanity and destroy the titans for good, that is up to you."
Finishing his speech, instructor Shadis begins to question the recruit.
After a while, the instructor approaches a blond-haired man with blue eyes.
"Now it's your turn" says the instructor in a deep voice.
"YES" replies the boy.
"Introduce yourself" orders the instructor in the same tone.
"I am Armin Arlelt, I come from the district of Shiganshina" said Armin.
"Armin uh, and you don't blame your parents for giving you such a stupid name?" Asks the instructor.
"It was my grandfather who gave me this name"
"Tell me Armin why you want to join us?" Says the instructor looking at Armin towering over him.
"I am here to help humanity defeat the titans!" replied Armin with his eyes closed.
"That's great! You'll be food for those insatiable monsters" said the instructor before moving towards me.
"You, your turn, introduce yourself" He ordered as he looked me in the eye.
"I'm Alexandre Adler, and I'm from the district of Trost" I replied looking him in the eye.
"Oh, we have a brave guy there, but with me you are nothing more than titan meat, you will be eaten and no one will remember you, are you ready?" He said in a serious tone looking at me with big eyes.
"Yes sir, I am ready to fight to the death" I said as I stared at him without flinching.
The instructor looked at me for a little while without speaking, then he went back to walking through the ranks.
While walking, he questioned some recruits, after a certain event, he saw a girl with brown hair eating a potato.
After a discussion, he forbade her to have dinner and sanctioned her to run until night.

I am currently in my room, I share it with Jean and Conny and currently Eren is here with Armin. Yesterday Eren made a fool of himself by balancing on the rope, his head was towards the ground while his leg was in the air, it was quite funny to see if I may say so.
He's currently here asking for some advice, probably because I was doing pretty well, if not one of the best on the exercise.
"How do you master your position on the rope?" asked Eren.
Then Connie replied that he was a genius and worked on instinct. I watched Conny and Jean laugh at Eren while thinking, "To get some of his blood, he has to be unconscious, and to do that, I have to be near him, helping him can't hurt."
"Hey Eren, have you tried it with another gear? Maybe yours has a problem?" I say as I look at him.
"Maybe, why didn't I think of that? Thanks for that Alexandre, I'll try with another one tomorrow" he replies energetically.
"Come on Armin, if it's not a gear problem I need help, I heard that Reiner and Betholdt are good at it, we'll ask them". With that, he and Armin says goodbye to us and leave our room.
-----------
Apart from this event, everything went well, I got closer to the team of the survey corps (Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Jean, Conny, Reiner, Bertholdt and others).
I trained harder than my peers and was one of the best in every field.
I also got my hands on blood from people who gave me the Eldian bloodline, my next step is to take blood from Chrysta to get the royal bloodline. I also validated my theory of appraisal, the F rank which is just the human rank; the E rank is the SuperHuman rank.

{Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed it, this chapter is a bit longer than the last one, I don't know if the next chapter will be as long, I had to watch the anime at the same time I'm writing so it took me a long time to write this chapter, comment if you have any ideas I can use}.
