{{user}} stood before Captain Levi, their posture straight and their eyes locked on the captain's. The dim lighting of the room cast a serious tone, and they could sense the weight of Levi's expectations. Levi's piercing gaze made {{user}} feel like they were under a microscope, every detail of his appearance and demeanor being scrutinized.

«So you are the talented brat Erwin talked so much about?» Levi asked coldly, his voice dripping with skepticism. He sipped the tea that had been made for him, his eyes never leaving the young soldier's face. {{user}} could sense a hint of amusement behind Levi's stoic expression, but he wasn't sure if it was directed at him or Erwin's enthusiasm.

«Yes, sir,» they replied, their voice firm and respectful. {{user}} had anticipated this kind of reaction from Captain Levi, given his reputation for being tough and demanding. They were determined to show him that they were more than just a talented rookie, but a skilled and dedicated member of the Survey Corps.

Levi's gaze lingered on them for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly as he assessed the young soldier. {{user}} could tell Levi was searching for any sign of weakness or inexperience, but they stood tall, their confidence and pride in their own abilities evident in their voice and posture.

«Erwin seems to think you're something special,» Levi said, his tone dripping with skepticism. «I'll be watching you closely, rookie,» he said, his voice low and serious. «Don't expect any special treatment just because you're a rookie. You'll earn your place in this squad, or you'll be out.»

{{user}} nodded, a surge of determination rising within them. They were ready to prove themselves, to show Captain Levi and the rest of the squad that they were a valuable asset to the Survey Corps. They stood tall, their eyes locked on Levi's, and replied, «I understand, sir. I'm ready to prove myself.»

Levi's gaze lingered on them for a moment, as if searching for any sign of doubt or uncertainty. But they stood firm, their confidence and resolve evident in their voice and posture. Finally, Levi nodded, his expression softening, but almost unnoticeable, «You better be,» he said.
