Lets save the World of Hell

That night, after an exhausting day of training, the cadets gathered in the mess hall for dinner.

Adam sat at one of the tables, casually eating warm bread and soup.

Across from him, Christa sat with a gentle smile, while Mikasa remained calm beside him.

Eren and Armin sat at another table, still discussing the day's training.

Suddenly, someone approached with confident steps.

Ymir.

She stared at Adam with a suspicious expression before sitting down right next to Christa.

"Oi, Adam."

Adam swallowed his food calmly. "Huh? What's up?"

Ymir narrowed her eyes. "I've noticed… you're getting closer to Christa."

Christa looked confused. "Ymir, why are you saying that all of a sudden?"

Ymir glanced at Christa briefly before turning back to Adam.

"You don't have any bad intentions toward her, do you?"

Adam blinked a few times, then smirked slightly. "If I had bad intentions, I would've acted on them a long time ago."

Christa blushed slightly at his words.

Mikasa remained silent, but her gaze sharpened just a bit.

Ymir clicked her tongue. "Hmph. I'm still going to keep an eye on you."

Adam chuckled. "Go ahead. I don't mind having a free bodyguard."

Ymir grumbled as she returned to her meal, while Christa could only smile awkwardly.

The next day, the cadets had to undergo one-on-one combat training.

Keith Shadis stood in the middle of the field and announced, "YOU WILL FIGHT ONE AT A TIME!!! SHOW ME YOUR COMBAT SKILLS!!!"

The cadets murmured amongst themselves.

Eren looked excited. "Finally! I can prove my strength!"

Adam, on the other hand, just yawned. Hmm… this training sounds exhausting.

Then, Keith began calling names.

"FIRST MATCH: ADAM VS. YMIR!!!"

Adam raised an eyebrow. Oh? Interesting.

Ymir grinned. "Finally, I get to test this kid."

Christa looked slightly worried. "Don't go too hard on him, Ymir…"

Ymir patted Christa's head. "Don't worry."

Adam stepped into the center of the field, stretching his body.

Mikasa and Christa watched closely.

The Fight Begins!

Keith raised his hand.

"READY!!!"

Adam and Ymir took their stances.

"FIGHT!!!"

WHAM!

Ymir charged in immediately, attempting to grab Adam.

But Adam dodged swiftly, moving like a shadow.

Ymir attacked again—yet Adam simply tilted his body slightly, making her strike miss.

"Oi, stay still for a second!" Ymir grumbled.

Adam chuckled. "I'd rather not get hit."

Clicking her tongue in frustration, Ymir tried sweeping his legs.

However, Adam jumped back gracefully.

Then—

In one swift motion, Adam caught Ymir's wrist and flipped her onto the ground.

BAM!

The training field fell silent.

Ymir stared at Adam in shock. "Hah…? When did you learn that?"

Adam smirked casually. "I learn fast."

Keith nodded in approval. "WINNER: ADAM!!!"

The cadets started whispering.

"Wow… he won against Ymir?"

"His movements were so fast!"

Christa clapped her hands lightly. "That was amazing, Adam!"

Ymir got up, rubbing her head.

She looked at Adam, frustrated but also impressed.

"You're stronger than I thought, kid."

Adam smiled slightly. "I just don't like losing, mother."

Ymir stared at him for a moment before grinning. "Alright… maybe you're not as bad as I thought."

Adam just chuckled.

Mikasa remained silent, but there was a hint of satisfaction in her gaze.

Christa smiled softly.

Meanwhile, Eren looked even more eager for his turn to fight.
