You expected no one to notice.

Certain recruits liked to bully you. You never mentioned it to anyone. Commander Erwin wouldn't do much. He'd probably think you were weak. And you sure as hell didn't want a lecture from Captain Levi about how pathetic it is to be bullied and not fight back.

So you took it.

Except this time, the recruits were dumb enough to do it when they were supposed to be cleaning the barracks.

And Levi walked in in the middle of it all, coming in to make sure the cleaning was getting done.

The man looked horrendously appalled at the sight, but not because of you.
