Iceberg Loli, the So-Called Greater Good

The three most outstanding trainees in the Nine Color Vanguard's recruit training camp are: Reiner Brown, Bertholdt Hoover, and Ani Leonard.

In the original timeline, the Homeland Trio could have broken into the top ten of the Training Corps while retaining most of their strength.

But the Nine Color Vanguard is different.

If you hold back even a little bit of your stamina and trump cards, the sharp-eyed medical officer will immediately see through you, and you'll be subjected to a double attack from Eren and Mikasa.

Aside from Jean Stan, that guy with severe masochism, nobody likes this kind of treatment.

On this day, as the sun sank below the horizon, the new recruits finally had a brief respite after their arduous training.

The recruits didn't even have time to groan before they were lying on the ground in a mass.

Only the two of them appeared energetic and full of vitality at this moment.

Jean Stan and Sacha Braus.

These two were the first indigenous civilians to unlock their "Gene Lock" during basic training.

The cultivation system of Gene Lock has an extremely high mortality rate.

Many warriors who had endured life-or-death hardships on the battlefield and finally Awakening their powers died tragically due to the aftereffects of the unlocking process, unable to overcome its negative effects.

Jean and Sasha are two lucky ones.

Under Orochimaru's meticulous care, they weathered the most difficult period and rapidly adapted to this new power.

What would be deadly training for others was not unacceptable to the two of them.

They have almost reached the Second Order of the Gene Lock.

Watching the two's performance, Hoover, whose true form was Colossal Steam Giant, sighed, "Nine colors... no wonder it's a place where freaks gather, it's really tough..."

In the distance, Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan, also stared Youyou at Jean and Sasha.

He couldn't understand how these two guys, who were clearly just ordinary people, had gotten to this point.

With their Vertical Maneuvering Equipment and special Alloy Blades, these two rookies are now even capable of posing a threat to him when he goes all out.

Meanwhile, the last member of the Homeland Trio, Ani, was completely undisturbed.

She simply stared intently in the direction of the command post.

Wang Yan.

The creator of the Nine Color Team.

Ani has not forgotten her mission and identity.

Infiltrate Paradis Island and seize the Founding Titan.

She is a spy, but also a human being with her own thoughts.

The following day, in the early morning.

North of the Wall Rose, in the Utgard District.

The morning light was just beginning to break, and the air was fresh.

All the members of the Nine Color Team Vanguard Team gathered together.

The Wall Rose is the second of the three protective walls built by humankind.

Months ago, after the fall of Wall Maria, it became the front line of humanity's fight against the Giant.

In such places, the trainees could even occasionally hear the noises caused by the Giant.

Jean Kirchstein, Marco Porton Connie Springer, Rainer Brown, Berthold Hoover, Arnie Leonard, Sacha Braus, Christa Lance...

Everyone held their breath and waited silently.

At 6:30, a figure appeared in the sky above the crowd right on time.

Black hair, black eyes, snow-white trench coat, indifferent expression.

It was Wang Yan, the creator and ruler of the "Nine Colors".

He looked indifferently at the crowd below and said, "Without further ado, today is your trial day."

"No matter what method you use, successfully hunt down an ordinary Giant and move on to the next training phase."

"Those who die or fail to produce any results will be labeled as losers and expelled from the training camp."

After speaking, he looked down at the students.

Confusion, fear, anticipation, excitement, bloodlust, frustration...

All the emotions originating from all living beings are reflected in my heart.

Wang Yan savored these feelings.

Immediately, he waved his hand.

The elite members of the Nine Color Team were the first to step forward, open the city gates, and leave the safe zone.

Ace, Zoro, Kishō Arima, Mikasa, Eren, Naruto, Sasuke...

This time, even the mysterious "Saber" Artoria is involved in the operation.

The students all followed.

Only one petite girl remained in place.

Ani Leonard.

This calm, composed, tough-on-the-outside-but-soft-on-the-inside, taciturn little girl actually possesses the ability to transform into Female Titan.

Once she transforms, she instantly goes from a 153cm tall little girl to a 14-meter-tall, blonde, blue-eyed, long-legged mature woman.

Wang Yan showed no curiosity about her unusual behavior, and simply watched her silently.

Ani's previously expressionless face began to tremble slightly.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After a long while, she finally couldn't withstand the immense pressure and knelt on one knee, bowing to Wang Yan: "Respected Lord Wang Yan, we are survivors from Mountain Village Southeast of Wall Maria, and we have important information to convey to you."

Ani had rehearsed today's conversation hundreds of times in his mind.

She already had many plans and ideas in mind.

Wang Yan's performance will determine her actions.

Ani has great respect for those who dare to resist the tide of society.

In her original view, Wang Yan was such a person.

The other party is capable, has status, and power, yet dares to disregard the royal family that gave him everything, making the most conscientious decision in the most difficult times.

Now, Ani suddenly realized that she had guessed wrong.

Wang Yan was not rebelling against the overall situation.

It lacked the tragic grandeur I had imagined.

The other party was not a generous or tragic figure.

Wang Yan's existence is the embodiment of the overall situation.

All my mental preparations came to naught.

Looking at Wang Yan, her mind went blank, and she couldn't remember what she should do.

"Important intelligence?"

Wang Yan looked at Ani with a half-smile.

"That's right!"

Ani bit her tongue, finally clearing her mind a little. "I'm sorry, I used a fake identity just now."

The Wang Yan she sees now is Wang Yan's true appearance!

What the other side showed to the world before was just a facade!

This Iceberg Loli tried hard to keep a straight face, making herself appear calm and composed.

But deep inside her, a storm was brewing.

What she was seeing before her seemed to have exceeded the limits of her imagination.

Upon seeing the other person's true face, she almost lost her mind.

Ani now almost dares not look Wang Yan in the eye.

She felt that if she looked at it for too long, she would probably go into a state of madness and become a walking corpse.

As Ani was gripped by fear, words that made her even more uneasy rang in her ears.

"Are you trying to betray your comrades, the Armored Titan and Steam Titan?"

Upon hearing this, she subconsciously raised her head and looked directly into Wang Yan's eyes.

What complex eyes they were...

Dark, profound, just, great, evil, cold, fiery.

It seems that any positive or negative word can be used on it.

Contradiction?

Human nature itself is a complex of contradictions.

In an instant...

Or, to put it more scientifically.

One seventy-fifth of a second later, the Iceberg Loli completely lost her mind.

Her will completely collapsed.

A visible transformation gradually appeared in Ani...
