Captain Levi Ackerman, "Mankind's Strongest Soldier", was something said throughout Paradis, on every wall, in every province. Levi never gave that much attention to those things, his task was to focus on his exploration missions and sometimes also be Erwin's watchdog. Which bothered him to the core. The truth was that, despite being "the strongest" there were many other talents in the scouting legion. Levi knew some, but the truth was that none of them compared to him.

In one of the high-ranking missions Levi led his new team, each soldier carefully chosen by a group of commanders. None were special. As Levi named each one, walking in front of the line of cadets he had formed he came to an unknown name, and below it a description of their abilities. He stopped his step while focusing his attention on the reading, and when he realized that a living monster was described, in case everything was true, he looked up in search of this cadet.
