(PS: In German, "jager" means both "hunter" and "wanderer.")
Hmm?
Mikasa's calm expression shifted slightly. She had already suspected it, but she hadn't expected it to be true...
When Lianye stated his surname and given name, both Hannes and Eren's mother looked somewhat stunned. It was simply too absurd.
Black hair, black eyes, and a naming convention where the surname came first and the given name followed—the bloodline of Eastern people had nearly gone extinct, hadn't it?
Within what Hannes and Eren's mother knew, only Mikasa remained.
"You're a descendant of Eastern people, like Mikasa?"
Hannes's face was full of astonishment. In this world, Eastern people possessed black hair and black eyes, along with naturally exceptional physical abilities. Combined with their culture of Bushido, they were practically a race born for battle. Yet long before the Titans appeared and the walls were erected, they had nearly been wiped out by infighting among humanity.
Having Mikasa as a descendant was already surprising enough. He never expected this man who had suddenly appeared to also be Eastern—and his bloodline seemed even purer than Mikasa's.
Mikasa Ackerman was mixed-race... if I remembered correctly.
"Probably something like that."
Lianye nodded vaguely. He could not quite understand why they were so shocked.
To put it plainly, Lianye did not seem to have much to do with the Eastern people of this world, who were already on the verge of extinction. But he was indeed of Eastern descent.
It was just that, before Lianye crossed over, people with black hair and black eyes were everywhere. There was nothing surprising about it.
After watching the match, I hurried back to update. The BO5 ended unexpectedly fast.

"No wonder you're so strong. Are all Eastern people monsters?"
After Lianye nodded in confirmation, Hannes sighed with emotion.
Mikasa had already displayed extraordinary talent as a child. A group of little thugs Eren could not beat would be scared off just by her showing up alone, even though she was only a girl.
And as for Lianye's monstrous side—after he leaped out of nowhere and sliced off the Titan's nape in one strike—did that even need further explanation?
"Ahaha... maybe that's how it is."
Lianye played dumb despite knowing better. Still, the Eastern people of this world did indeed possess extraordinarily special racial gifts.
Setting aside Mikasa Ackerman, who would later grow strong enough to match an entire force of a hundred soldiers by herself, even humanity's strongest shorty—no, Captain Levi—seemed to have Ackerman as his true family name.
The two strongest people in the world of Attack on Titan both bore the surname Ackerman. That alone was enough to show just how special and powerful Eastern people were.
Then he would just consider himself to have Eastern blood. Lianye shamelessly accepted that identity, smiling calmly.
After all, now that he had come to this unfamiliar world and made contact with human society, having a suitable identity meant he would not need to waste so much brainpower explaining himself.
Looking at the man before her, who smiled and joked around, Mikasa raised her head and stared at him seriously. Though his words carried a slight frivolity, there was no doubt that he possessed the heart of a warrior. He was like her... one of the same kind.
