How had it turned out this way?

You'd asked Captain Levi to run training exercises with you, and much to your and your teammates' disbelief, he actually agreed.

However, nothing could have prepared you for this.

Levi had pinned you down in an almost painful hold, his boot pressed against your throat. One of his hands bent your arm back in a way you were certain it wasn't supposed to bend, and his other hand pushed on your back to keep you against the ground.

"Pathetic," he grumbled, "How the hell do you expect to defeat a titan if you can't even defeat me?"
