Pride Stalker had adopted "Lost Tooth, Gnar" and taught this ancient Yordle, who could not even speak, the art of hunting. If Lianye were to pass on a hunter's glory as well, there would be no cute creature like Gnar in this world—only idiots like Sasha, which was barely acceptable.
A tiger in his heart, delicately sniffing roses; cuter than Teemo, fiercer than a crocodile. That was Gnar.

Creatures Not Worth Mentioning
At night, in the recruit dining hall, a group of people gathered around Eren, chatting and bombarding him with questions.
"You're from Shiganshina District, so that means you saw the Colossal Giant that smashed through the wall?"
"I did see it. I've said it several times already..." Eren did not hide the fact that he had witnessed giants with his own eyes. His hatred for them was obvious.
"So how big was it? I heard it could step over Wall of Maria in a single stride."
"Not that exaggerated. Its head was probably just a little higher than the wall."
"What about ordinary giants? What were they like?"
"Uh..." Eren frowned, annoyed by the relentless questioning. According to later speculation, his parents had been eaten by ordinary giants that flooded into the Inside Wall Area after Wall of Maria was breached. That was why they had vanished without leaving behind any bodies.
Therefore, Eren's hatred for ordinary giants ran even deeper.
"Ahhh, enough! Stop asking me about this! Lianye killed a giant right in front of me, so if you want to ask, ask him!"
The noisy crowd surrounding Eren froze for a moment, then quickly shifted their attention toward Lianye, who sat at the far end with Mikasa and the others.
—He had actually killed a giant with his own hands?
It was not just these ordinary soldiers who loved gossip. Reiner, whose eyes already slanted upward, furrowed his brows as he looked over. Hoover's easygoing smile tightened, and even Annie, who had no interest in the recruits' idle chatter, slightly shifted her cold gaze.
"..."
Lianye, who had been considering how to use the ODM Gear together with his powerful physical bursts to create smooth transitions in spatial movement and maximize his current hunting techniques, came back to his senses and noticed the curious eyes fixed on him.
Most recruits knew of giants only from textbooks. So when they made impassioned declarations about one day fighting giants in place of ordinary civilians and slaying powerful giants, they naturally had no real sense of it. They even treated those terrifying giants as casual gossip.
"That never happened. Eren is just making things up—he likes to brag, doesn't he?"
Krista Lenz
Although he found it tedious to remember the names of people of the same sex, Lianye prided himself on being quite confident when it came to remembering the names of cute girls.
As if she possessed an extraordinarily keen sense for the scent of prey—food—Sasha, who had been lying on the ground at death's door, instantly transformed into a savage beast and pounced. In midair, she bit down on the bread in Krista's hand. The gust she tore through the air nearly blew petite Krista sideways.
Lianye gave this flawless pouncing kill sequence a nine out of ten. He withheld the remaining point because he was afraid Potato Girl would get cocky. Of course, that was judged by his own standards, so a perfect score was actually one hundred.
Sasha was still nowhere near passing!
"You ate too fast... You'll choke. You should drink some... water first."
Krista took out a water pouch from her waist and spoke timidly.
Honestly, Sasha Braus's tendency to turn into a feral beast whenever she was hungry was rather startling. After running nonstop for five hours, she could still unleash such explosive power. She was practically as freakish as a Spartan.
