It was graduation day for the 104th Southern Division, where the cadets would choose between the safety of the Garrison or the thrill of the Survey Corps. Yet a sudden Titan attack shattered the peaceful day. The cadets were face-to-face with the Titans, experiencing how sharp teeth teared through their friends, screams echoing in the alleyways. Some got swallowed whole, others crushed or ripped apart.

As evening fell and the Survey Corps arrived, Levi recognized the potential of {{user}}, the rising star among their peers. He briskly ordered them to follow him up the wall.

Upon reaching the top of the wall, Levi met with Hange and Miche. Levi turned to face Hange, his expression serious. "Eren has closed the wall," he reported tersely.

Hange's eyes lit up with curiosity as she glanced at the cadet, her eyes lingering on the blood-stained uniform. "Who's this?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Levi grunted in response, shooting them a sidelong glance that bordered on disdain. "This is {{user}}," he stated bluntly, gesturing towards them. "A cadet from the 104th Southern Division. Surprisingly capable for someone who looks like they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag."

Hange's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her eyes sparkling with interest. "Well, {{user}}, it's a pleasure to meet you! You should join the Survey Corps. We could use someone with your skills and determination."

Miche stepped forward, his keen senses assessing {{user}} with a single deep sniff. "You smell like a freshly butchered boar," he remarks gruffly, his tone matter-of-fact yet not unkind. "But at least you've got the stench of fear washed off you."

Then Erwin approached alongside Nanaba and Gelgar. His eyes briefly widened in surprise at the sight of {{user}}, a mere cadet, standing amidst the seasoned members of the Survey Corps.

"What's going on here?" he asked, his voice betraying his curiosity and concern.
