Distress

Distress

It was meant to be a painless training mission, one free of distress.

Once we left the forest, we would all head back home.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen.

This training mission for the 104th Cadet Corps splits our unit into two.

We're to retrieve an object at a checkpoint and return to base.

A simple task covering a distance of roughly 80 km in total.

The leader of our half is Marco.

I'm in charge of recording our progress.

The second group has Thomas as their leader and Mikasa keeping record.

Though leaving when we did, they will enter the vast forest by another path.

We will exchange information at the checkpoint

and return back to base using the opposite path.

The purpose of this training excursion is to test our vigilance

in a prolonged mission with no danger present.

That's all there is to it!

You worthless runts probably think it's an easy mission, but don't!

A soldier is a soldier at all times!

You must be ready to fight in all situations!

Don't succumb to boredom! Don't be fooled by peace!

This whole mission is a battle! Don't forget that!

Yes, sir!

So, do you think we're not supposed to rush?

Y-Yeah.

It'd be dumb to rush and exhaust ourselves. Let's take it easy.

I don't know how to take it easy. Jean, if you're going slow, I'll go fast.

Uh... Wait, Eren!

We've gotta work as a group. Right, Jean?

Like I care? This training ain't gonna help me join the Military Police Regiment.

You don't know that. Anyway, let's focus on the mission.

Hell no.

C'mon, it's too soon for this.

Suck it up, Jean.

I'm not allowed to complain?

If only complaining made time go faster...

Tell me about it. There's a long way to go.

I'm sick of this.

By the time we get there, it'll be dark.

Then, let's go further east.

That might take all day, too.

What's up, Mikasa?

Nothing. Just my imagination.

Wonderful. Now we're traveling with lizards.

That's rare in these parts.

It's tasty.

Eh?

It's tasty! We used to eat 'em all the time.

It tastes just like chicken!

You know how to cook 'em?

Of course! It's easy peasy!

In that case...

H-Hey!

Securing food is a part of training! I'll get us a lizard!

Better yet, don't!

I've got this.

What was that?!

This isn't a game!

The Commandant is not in sight! We won't earn points out here!

Cut it out!

Are you guys kids?

You're one to talk!

Jean, just behave!

Why should I?

If we're slowed down, we have to report it! Don't write this yet, Armin!

A-All right.

Write "Eren interfered with Jean, who was just trying to secure food."

What?!

Tasty!

Let's go.

R-Right.

One that big would've fed us all...

You're sure?

Positive. I put it right here, but now it's gone.

How could your ODM gear just disappear?

Hey.

They're long gone by now.

There's another fire that way. Must've been a group.

Also, look here.

Wagon tracks...

And more than one.

We weren't told anyone lived nearby.

Could be bandits.

Eh?

They steal weapons and goods to sell in the black market.

ODM gear fetches a high price.

You think they're after us?

They might've attacked you if seen. You're probably lucky to be alive.

Should we turn around and return to base?

No, we're almost to the checkpoint.

Let's hurry there to let Marco's group know and return to base.

These rations taste like dirt.

If only we'd caught that lizard.

Whatever. Screw lizards.

Didn't you just try to hunt one?

It's more realistic than hunting Titans.

So why are you here? Why the hell did you join the Cadet Corps?!

Not to throw my life away, at the very least.

What?! How dare you say that!

Um...

D-Don't, Armin! It's just fireside banter.

Does it take seeing a Titan to make you love pointless training? If so—

Give it a damn rest!

Stop it!

Guys, let's go catch a lizard! It'll help us all relax!

– Let go! – You're completely useless!

– Hey, guys! – And what can you do?!

Anything better than you!

Shuddap! You're gonna rip it!

C'mon, guys! That's enough!

Guys, let's go catch a lizard!

Let go of me!

Don't move.

Gather up all their ODM gears. Hurry up.

What will you do with it?

Sell it for money. People will pay for it.

It's not like Titans can be beaten. What's wrong with selling useless weapons?

Guys! Now!

Eren!

H-Huh?!

Don't even think about it. Behave yourselves.

Currently Disclosable Information

The Wasteland Navigation Exercise

A field exercise in which two groups of cadets traverse a wasteland. Both groups depart at the same time and travel along two different routes, retrieve a planted object, then return to base. The target of this exercise is to find out how alert the cadets can stay in a non-critical situation.

We won't kill her. She'll be freed later. But if you pursue us, she's dead. Got it?

You guys...

It'd be different if you guys had helped!

That's just what you think. I don't agree.

In fact, you put all of us in danger.

So much for the mission.

Yeah...

You're abandoning Christa?

It's not that. What can we even do? Let's go to base for help.

And if we're too late?

I'm not about to give up! I'm gonna save Christa!

Alone if I have to!

Eren...

She said she gave all her love to me.

– Eren! – Wait!

We dreamed a new life, someplace to be at peace.

How will you search without a horse?!

None of your business!

It is my business! I'm coming, too!

But things changed, suddenly.

I don't wanna walk home in humiliation either.

I lost my dreams in this disaster.

I'm crying,

Guys...

missing my lover.

I don't have the power

on my side forever.

Oh, where is my lover?

Having said that, how do we find 'em?

And I've got no power.

Even if we split up, there's too much ground.

I'm standing alone, no way,

In times like this, you've gotta look from a high point!

When on a mountain, go up! When lost in the forest, climb a tall tree!

calling out your name.

It's something I learned from my father!

Hey!

We're moving as soon as we're loaded! Hurry up!

– What now? – Rush at 'em?

But they've got guns. We'll get wrecked.

I have an idea.

They'll be wanting to sell their loot and Odel is the closest city around.

We'll get ahead and ambush 'em.

Get ahead without horses?

We can cut through the forest if they're heading for Odel!

Woo-hoo!

Past this forest, the path splits in two.

Once they get on the path to Odel, there's not much we can do.

However...

They're here!

All right!

But even if the plan works...

How do we know which wagons Christa and the ODM gears are in?

I'll listen to the wagons and signal.

Once if they're in the front wagon and two for the rear.

If in both, three times.

That's the signal...

...to attack!

Wh-What the hell?!

What's going on?!

You little—

What are you doing?!

The sorta thing you guys do!

I'll teach you...!

H-Hey!

Dammit! I won't miss this time!

Stop!

Christa!

Damn you!

You okay?

Yeah. Somehow.

Jean! Eren!

We're fine! The ODM gears, too.

But Christa is still...!

Let's go!

Sasha, do you have a smoke signal?

I do, but...

Can I have it?

Cut it out, dammit! I told you to stop!

Don't kill her! The girl will sell!

So that's how it is.

You and your friends made us lose a ton of money!

You'll just have to make up for it.

What?!

Dammit!

– Stay back! – Drop your weapons!

Hand over your ODM gears! Hurry up!

This is complete bullshit. Why does this happen to me?

We might've escaped Titans, but we can't grow shit in this wasteland.

And to think I taught my daughter not to give anyone trouble...

Hurry up!

What?!

Mikasa?!

Don't kill him!

No?

You guys run into trouble?

And so, the bandits were handed over to the Military Police Regiment,

and the excursion ended without a single casualty.

While our mission was cut short, I still had to give my report.

And I did so honestly, without stretching the truth.

May I... ask a question?

What?

When our ODM gears were stolen, should we have turned back?

Or was chasing the bandits the right decision?

I won't answer that, however...

Before I'm a soldier, as a person...

...I choose the path which brings me the most distress.

Between returning to base and chasing the bandits,

which is more distressing to you, Arlelt?

W-Well...

I couldn't answer.

Perhaps the trials we faced during the excursion

had been meant to train us from the very start.

I never should've been leader.

You think? I thought it suited you.

Nah, I'm not fit to be leader. Jean's way better at it.

Jean is? Gimme a break.

Someday, you'll see.

I'm not so sure about that.

I wonder what kind of soldier everyone will be.

That was the year 848.

Two years before our first deployment.

Your dream is where my heart belongs.
